Aneurysm care saves UC Davis alumna's life
Citizen of the world receives leading-edge treatment
Eileen Thatcher is a citizen of the world. She routinely transits between visits with family and friends in California and her new home in Southern India, where she teaches nurses how to reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections in a world-class hospital that treats patients from the Middle East, Africa and beyond.
But Thatcher, an emeritus professor of infectious diseases at Sonoma State University and a UC Davis alumna, made perhaps the biggest journey of her life in April, when she traveled from a remote mountaintop in rural Humboldt County to UC Davis Medical Center for the emergency neurological surgery that would save her life.
A headache that felt 'like a grenade going off'
Thatcher is a slight, slender woman with long white hair, pulled up on top of her head in a graceful bun. She has dark, quick eyes and a ready smile. She and her sister were visiting her mother's remote mountain home in Fieldbrook, north of Arcata, Calif., on the evening of April 6. For about three days she had been fighting what she believed to be a nagging migraine.
"I was dealing with the pain," Thatcher said. "But I realized that the headache just was not going away. I opened the bottle where I carried Tylenol® and the aspirin that I take when I'm flying from India. An aspirin just happened to fall into my hand instead of Tylenol and I remember thinking, 'I can't take that. I might have an aneurysm.'"
Thatcher described the experience while recovering in her hospital room at UC Davis Medical Center. She noted that she didn't know why the word "aneurysm" popped into her head. But, deciding that Tylenol would not be sufficient, she instead took a Vicodin® to relieve the surging pain and sat down to dinner with her mother and sister.
"We had started to eat and then, all of a sudden, there was this pain that came crashing down on top of my head — whoosh!" Thatcher said. "It was so intense. On a scale of one to 10, it was a 15 at least. It was like a grenade going off."
Thatcher remembered that, as the pain intensified, she slumped forward in her chair. Moments later, she would find herself face down on the home's cold stone floor. She recalled that her mother must have pushed the button on her Lifeline® Medical Alert lanyard because, within minutes, paramedics were at the family's door to transport her to the nearest hospital, Mad River Community Hospital in Arcata.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Thatcher said that she was whisked off for a computed tomography — or CT — scan. The results prompted the emergency room physician there to immediately get on the phone and call tertiary care hospitals throughout Northern California, seeking the best neurosurgery expertise available. Once the doctor confirmed Thatcher's destination, he alerted the air ambulance and told the waiting paramedics: "Davis. Go!"
Transferred to UC Davis Medical Center for care
Thatcher was immediately flown to Sacramento and transported to the medical center's emergency department. She was admitted shortly after midnight and would only awaken hours later in the medical center's Neurological Intensive Care Unit, recovering from a procedure to obliterate an aneurysm.
Thatcher recalled that one of the first things she did after she woke up was reach up to place her hand atop her head. She was pleasantly surprised and remarked, "I have hair!" Thatcher said that she isn't vain, but she expected to have had her head shaved to treat the aneurysm. But, for the most part, these days aneurysms are not treated that way.
Thatcher's lifesaving neurosurgeon was Ben Waldau, assistant professor in the UC Davis Department of Neurological Surgery and a specialist in open cerebrovascular and endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms. He said that Thatcher had experienced a ruptured aneurysm at the base of her brain behind her right eye — a posterior communicating artery aneurysm.
What is an aneurysm?
An aneurysm is a localized, blood-filled, balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel. Cerebral aneurysms are fairly uncommon, experienced by about 2 percent of the population. Aneurysms are abnormal weak spots in the blood vessel wall that cause a pouch to form.
Bleeding in the brain caused by a ruptured aneurysm is very irritating to the surrounding nerves. The most common symptom of a ruptured aneurysm is a severe headache that patients often describe as "the worst headache of my life" — like the one Thatcher experienced.
A ruptured brain aneurysm is a serious condition, Waldau said. About half of all patients with ruptured brain aneurysms do not reach a hospital in time for treatment. Waldau said that Thatcher's ruptured aneurysm bleed ranked among the worst and highest on a scale used to evaluate such bleeds.
Waldau treated Thatcher's aneurysm in the hospital's interventional neuroradiological suite using endovascular coiling. During the minimally invasive procedure, a surgeon inserts a sheath into the femoral artery in the groin, using fluoroscopy to guide a catheter through the blood vessels up to the aorta and to the carotid artery in the neck. Then a microcatheter is used to enter the aneurysm in the brain. Inside the aneurysm, the surgeon deploys a series of tiny metal wires called coils. Thatcher received bare platinum coils. Inserting the coils causes the patient's blood to clot around them, blocking the flow of blood to the aneurysm and closing it off. The coils are then detached using an electrical current.
A remarkable recovery
"Early on I was unsure of whether Dr. Thatcher would recover quickly from her bleed," Waldau said. "She was very sleepy and was slow to follow commands. But she started to awaken and become more oriented as her condition continued to improve over the following two days."
Thatcher eventually would become the model patient, Waldau said, sitting up in bed and even conducting business meetings by telephone from her hospital room. Today, she continues her remarkable recovery at her mother's home (she does not maintain a home in the United States) and is looking forward to returning to her work at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kerala, India, sometime this month.
"It was a great pleasure taking care of Dr. Thatcher, especially because she's a UC Davis alumna," Waldau said. "She was a fantastic patient. It really is a joy to be able to help patients like her. Now she is able to go back to her life and help people in India and all over the world."

Whether you have a new puppy or a senior cat, pet health insurance is still important. Many people consider their pet a part of their family and as pet parents, you want your pets to receive the best care possible, no matter what. Should your pet unexpectedly get injured or become ill or maybe eat something they weren't supposed to, we never want you to choose between getting your pet the care he deserves and being financially stable. Pet health insurance gives you financial support and alleviates some of the burden of a high cost vet bill.

Give your pet the best care without worrying about the cost.
Petplan is more than pet insurance – it's peace of mind. When your pet gets hurt or sick, you want to get them the best possible veterinary care without breaking the bank.
With Petplan by your side, your best friend can get top-dog treatment, and you can trust that claims for your four-legged friend's unexpected accidents, injuries and illnesses will be reimbursed quickly.

My dog Raven developed diabetes very rapidly, as a result she also developed an eye condition which was very serious. In essence she was blind in both eyes. I went to a specialist and found that while the one eye would have to be removed... heartbreaking the doctor believed we could save her sight in the one eye . This surgery was very expensive but she had a cataract removed and also a shunt placed so the pressures would stay down. She can see well now out of that eye. I could not have afforded the surgery without knowing that Pet Plan would cover a large portion. Thank you Pet Plan. All the staff have been so helpful and supportive during this stressful time.Joy Augustine
I never want to second guess healthcare decisions for my four legged family members - two rescues, a dog Lyla and a cat Gracie. They even cover behavioral problems which nobody really covers. Lyla, my now 14 year old Maltese, an ex puppy mill mom who I adopted when she was 8 years old, has battled cancer - if it wasn't for Petplan I would have had no help in dealing with the over 14k between surgery and radiation therapy. She has been cancer free for over three years now - thank you Petplan for helping me do the best for her.Lavinia P.
Let me just start by saying that insuring our two dogs with Petplan is one the best the decisions we've ever made. Unfortunately for us, our youngest pup, Pumpkin broke her leg, TWICE. It was traumatic for the whole family, especially because she was so tiny... and just too adorable for her own good. Petplan was AMAZING. I really can't emphasize this enough. We'd heard stories about other companies not covering certain procedures or having "very fine print", not Petplan. They were SO HELPFUL and so responsive that we were able to focus on Pumpkin's recovery. This last claim we filed was processed so quickly that we received our check in less than 2 weeks!!! If you are looking for a pet insurance company, I highly recommend Petplan.Lisa Gusimat
I purchased a policy for my kitten seeing how she was a rescue and I knew nothing about where she came from. A couple of months after we got our kitten (Finnegan)we brought her into our vet as she was acting very lethargic....just not herself. She was diagnosed with a liver shunt. Heartbreaking news! But having PetPlan as our provider gave us security and comfort when dealing with this situation. All the staff was so helpful and understanding. Finnegan went through a huge surgery and is recovering nicely. PetPlan has paid us over $7,000.00 in reimbursements. Between the customer care and the integrity of the claims processing this company is A1. Must have.Beth Jenkins
Pet insurance: The smart choice for pets
There are many reasons why more pet parents today are covering their pets with ASPCA Pet Health Insurance. Most of all, they want to make sure they'll have financial support if their pet is sick or hurt. That way, they can give their pets the best care possible without worrying about the cost.

When my dog was sick, my ASPCA Pet Health Insurance claim was paid quickly, and they called to see how my dog was doing. They even followed up later to make sure we remembered to submit any other bills. That is customer service. I recommend ASPCA Pet Health Insurance to everyone!SUSAN P.
I'm not one to give praise often, but ASPCA Pet Health Insurance has been a wonderful experience. Absolutely no surprises. Everything was paid as expected and quicker than even my own health insurance provider. It was such a nice surprise to have a company do what they say they'll do, without any delays or questions. I strongly recommend ASPCA Pet Health Insurance to everyone. I'll also never go without it for as long as I have a pet. My cat needed surgery, and the cost was almost $1,000. I would have gone ahead with the surgery no matter what, but it sure is nice to be able to take a major event like that and make it less painful.DAN K.
My husky, Glen, loves to eat socks and small toys. One day he got very sick, and we took him to the emergency animal hospital. He needed to have exploratory surgery to find out what was wrong. The veterinarian discovered that he had a cut in his stomach with a hair in it that was irritating his stomach. This was making him vomit, and he also had a parasite that had survived the deworming medication. A year later, Glen also had torn his CCL and had to have knee surgery. Glen is perfectly fine now, but ASPCA Pet Health Insurance has reimbursed me more than $2,500! It was the best decision of my life, and all of my dogs will have this insurance.VERONICA J.
My sister's beloved dog was hit by a car. It was a horrible experience, but she was grateful to have had pet insurance to help with the bills. That made me pause and realize that my two cats weren't insured. I shopped around and compared plans offered by a couple providers. I decided to buy an ASPCA Pet Health Insurance plan that covered accidents and illnesses. My plan also has coverage for chronic conditions. Four months later, I took one of my cats to the vet for a checkup. I pointed out a small bump I'd felt on the tip of her tail. It was biopsied, and I was stunned to hear it was cancer. Our vet amputated a part of my cat's tail, and now, years later, she's in good health. I'm grateful that I didn't have to worry about unexpected veterinary bills at these stressful times.JENNY C.

Our world was shaken recently when our dog Luke was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. As soon as we got this diagnosis we took action in getting him the best treatment possible. The treatment plan including surgery, monthly chemotherapy, medications, and tests was not of financial concern for us because we had pet health insurance. Getting Trupanion a few years ago was the best decision we ever made. Having peace of mind in being able to give our dogs the best standard of care and not needing to stress about the financials is worth more than anything. Trupanion has always been easy to deal with and everyone is very helpful and pleasant. Trupanion has made it possible for our family to continue living a happy life together and we recommend it to everyone we know with pets.Meryl and Josh C.
In 2013 we had to say goodbye to our best friends Jake and Hunter within five weeks of each other. The veterinary bills were over $5,000, which we had to put on a credit card. Our veterinarian recommended Trupanion when we adopted our new dog Molly – and it certainly has paid off. In late January 2016, we took Molly to the veterinarian because she was not eating or breathing correctly. The vet decided to do her senior wellness exam early which included an X-ray. We found out she had spontaneous pneumothorax, an accumulation of air between the chest wall and the lungs. As she was monitored, they told us that surgery was her best chance. She had part of her left lung removed and spent six days at the emergency clinic. Recovery was hard because she couldn't do much of anything for four weeks after surgery. Thankfully, Molly has fully recovered and we had a great time this summer playing outside and going for walks. Thanks to Trupanion, we were able to afford to keep her well!Michele N.
At just 5 months of age, Ella fell off a chair and accidently broke her front leg. Ella's leg was splinted with the hope that the fracture would heal well. Along with frequent splint changes and checkups, Ella developed some pressure sores and a skin infection, which were treated on an almost daily basis. Multiple follow-up radiographs showed that, unfortunately, Ella's fracture was not healing properly and she was developing elbow dysplasia which was very painful for her. The end result meant surgery in order to amputate her deformed leg. Now, Ella lives happily as a fast-running, three-legged pooch who enjoys life and does not live in discomfort anymore. Trupanion has been an important part in Ella's journey to her wellbeing. She is lucky to have such great human parents and great health insurance through Trupanion!
When I adopted Star as a puppy I debated getting insurance because, I figured I would invest in insurance when she was older. Shortly after enrolling Star with Trupanion she became very ill, and in the past six years she has been diagnosed with numerous health issues: incurable internal bacteria, IBD, allergies to food and vaccinations, bleeding ulcers, and inflammation of the gallbladder -- all of which is now controllable with daily medications. Trupanion has paid over $27,000 toward her medical bills. All of my claims were processed and checks were mailed out within seven days of receiving the invoice. The doctors have Star on a plan that is managing her illnesses and as for Star -- she is wagging her tail and playing every day!Tina C.

Woman victim of attempted purse snatching
PALM COAST, Fla. – Flagler County deputies responded to Pine Lakes Apartment complex on Pine Lakes Parkway late Saturday evening in response to a report of an attempted purse snatching.
The 33-year-old victim told deputies that she arrived home just before 11:30 p.m. She said that while she was still seated in her vehicle, a white man in his mid to late 20s walked up on her, grabbed her purse strap and demanded her purse, according to deputies.
The woman told deputies she tried to surrender the purse, but couldn't because the strapped was slung across her body.
The robber then began to punch her in the face three times, deputies said. The victim said she was able to get out of the car and the man ran off toward the brush line between the parking lot and Belle Terre Parkway.
The would-be robber was described as wearing a grayish hoodie and a green beanie-type hat. He had a slender build and heavy acne.
Anyone with information on the attempted robbery is asked to call the Flagler County Sheriff's Office at 386-313-4911.

BEIJING, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The Chinese government said Wednesday it welcomed an agreement between Pyongyang and Seoul to reopen the shared Kaesong industrial complex.
The 10-year-old facility, the only economic link between North and South Korea, was shuttered in April because of tensions between the two countries.
A source in the South Korean Unification Ministry, in charge of bilateral affairs, said both sides "reached an understanding" on the complex, the Yonhap News Agency reported Tuesday.
Under the agreement, South Korean companies be allowed to restart operations after a trial run on Monday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Beijing welcomed the decision as a sign of positive development in Korean affairs, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Wednesday.
Operations at Kaesong halted when North Korea unilaterally pulled its 53,000 workers from the complex, citing political and military provocations from South Korea this year.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula escalated when North Korea conducted an underground nuclear test in February, its third.
The China Institute of International Studies, tied closely to the Foreign Ministry, said it would hold a seminar Sept. 18 to review six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear program. Multilateral talks between both Koreas, China, the United States, Russia and Japan were suspended in 2009.

The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved a new executive director for the Port of Los Angeles, one of the nation's largest seaports that has been without permanent leadership since late last year.
Gene Seroka, a veteran shipping industry executive, was appointed to the post after winning unanimous approval by the Harbor Board of Commissioners late last week.
Seroka, 49, is head of the commercial division for the Americas region at American President Lines Ltd. APL is the world's seventh-largest ocean carrier and a subsidiary of Neptune Orient Lines, based in Singapore.
He is "a dynamic, seasoned executive with all the right knowledge and skills to seize the opportunities and navigate the challenges of a fiercely competitive industry," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who announced Seroka's nomination in late May.
In his new role, Seroka will oversee a nearly $939-million budget, which includes several improvement projects aimed at keeping the port competitive in the face of the looming $5-billion Panama Canal expansion. Los Angeles officials worry the canal's expansion will divert cargo traffic to ports in the Gulf of Mexico and other ports on the East Coast.
Seroka, through a port spokesman, declined a request for an interview but said in a statement that he is "dedicated to making this powerful engine the most competitive, efficient and sustainable source of prosperity for the benefit of both our region and U.S. international trade."
The shipping industry executive will replace the port's last permanent leader, Geraldine Knatz, 63, who stepped down in November. Seroka is expected to start in the role in the next month, a port spokesman said.

If you didn't think Texas A&M fans love Johnny Manziel (a.k.a. "Johnny Football"), stop doubting. An Aggie fan only known as "lvroper1959" uploaded this unsettling ode to Manziel called "Johnny Football," a cover of "Johnny Angel," a song released by Shelley Fabares in 1962.
Since I didn't exist until 1990, I had to look up the original song. It sounds like some serious going-steady music that'd play while you and your main squeeze share a float at the soda shop.
With this video, we know now that Texas A&M's supporters can definitely contend with the rest of the SEC and their crazy fans.

Trinity has announced the hiring of Bryan Adamski as its new baseball coach. He takes over for Mark Lambert, a nine-year member of the Bantams staff and the interim head coach in 2013. After the 2012 season, Bill Decker left to take the Harvard job.
The press release from Trinity ...
Hartford, Conn., July 9, 2013 - Director of Athletics Mike Renwick has announced the appointment of Bryan Adamski (Belchertown, Mass.) as the new Trinity College Head Baseball Coach. Adamski joins the Bantams from Amherst College where he served as assistant coach for five years. Adamski helped guide the Lord Jeffs to a New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) title and a deep run into the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament in the spring of 2013. Adamski replaces interim coach Mark Lambert who coached the Bantams for the 2013 season.
"We are excited to welcome Bryan Adamski to the Trinity College Athletic Department," said Renwick. "Coach Adamski will be a great leader and mentor for the young men on their journey as a Trinity College student-athlete. We are confident he will continue the great tradition of success within the Trinity baseball program well into the future."
Adamski served as both the pitching and hitting coach during his tenure at Amherst. While Adamski was at Amherst, the Lord Jeffs posted a 112-57 record (.663) and four consecutive post-season appearances. He helped Amherst win a College-record 27 games in 2013, and coached the NESCAC Pitcher, Defensive Player, and Rookie of the Year this spring. While serving as hitting coach in 2010, Adamski's hitters posted a College-record batting average of .349. The Lord Jeffs' pitching staff set a new team record for ERA (3.17) with Adamski as their pitching coach in 2013. He also coached the North Adams Steeplecats in the New England Collegiate Baseball League the last two summers, and was previously with the NECBL's Holyoke Blue Sox.
Adamski graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 2007 with bachelor's degrees in English and journalism, and holds a master's degree from Springfield College in Sport Management. He finished his collegiate playing career as the all-time save leader in UMass baseball history.
"I am extremely honored that Mike Renwick and the search committee members have the faith in me to lead Trinity College baseball," said Adamski. "It is a tremendous opportunity to take over the most storied program in NESCAC history. I want to thank former Amherst coach Bill Thurston and current coach Brian Hamm for the roles each of them played in preparing me for this chance."
Trinity baseball has played in the NCAA Division III World Series four times in the last 11 years and won the 2008 National Championship with an unprecedented 45-1 final record. In 2013, the Bantams posted a 21-19 record and tied Bowdoin for the top spot in the NESCAC East Division.
"I would like to publicly thank and praise our interim head coach Mark Lambert for his leadership, work ethic and dedication to our program over not only this year but for all of his nine years on the Trinity College campus," stated Renwick. "In addition, I would also like to thank his assistants, Steve Cervizzi and Ernie May, for their work and dedication to our student-athletes over the last year under less than ideal circumstances."

The Danish embassy is one of the first embassies in Beijing to find innovative ways to improve the energy efficiency of the buildings in its compound. The embassy is working to achieve carbon neutral status, while improving its recycling and slowly becoming self-sufficient, says Friis Arne Petersen, Denmark's ambassador to China.
To assist in this green transition, the embassy has installed Grundfos' new-technology circulator pumps for heating, cooling and hot water circulation (HVAC).
"It's a matter of credibility in general, but also in terms of our host society, China, and other Danish and foreign companies and institutions, that we do all we can do as a government office to be at the forefront of environmentally friendly technology," Petersen says. "We want to walk the talk."
"We do all we can to be at the forefront of environmentally friendly technology. We want to walk the talk."
Friis Arne Petersen, Denmark's ambassador to China
Upgrading old pumps
Last year, the international consulting group COWI conducted an energy audit at the Danish embassy in Beijing. It showed that there was huge potential for energy savings by upgrading the old pumps. The embassy was constructed and built in many stages, all according to Danish building regulations, starting in the 1970s.
"The energy consumption for the embassy was high – at 475 kilowatt-hours per square metre annually – and the current Danish regulation for a new similar building is 71 kilowatt-hours per square metre," says Gitte Svantemann, project manager at COWI.
"We made a priority list of areas in which energy could be saved in the embassy, and the main priority was upgrading the old water-circulation pumps. We found that the old pumps were too big and that replacing them was key to reducing the overall energy consumption.
"We suggested Grundfos and its pump solutions, which we believe are among the best in the world, for the embassy," Svantemann adds. "They supply durable equipment and are famous for being highly efficient."
Kristian Dalestedt Jakobsen, head of administration at the Danish embassy, comments: "Our request to Grundfos was to develop an energy-saving solution that utilized a reliable operating system. Grundfos came up with a proposal, and as they are among the market leaders in this area, it was natural for the embassy to choose the Danish company."
40 percent reduction
The embassy's target was to reduce hot- and cold-water energy consumption by 35 to 40 percent. It wanted a highly efficient heating system in which the temperature did not constantly need to be adjusted. In the past the Danish embassy needed a HVAC expert to visit twice a year, in spring and autumn, to adjust the thermostatic regulator. Some of the previous pumps were more than a decade old.
The new Grundfos pumps have built-in controls for optimized delivery of heating, cooling and hot water. They can regulate operating speed, and when full operating speed is unnecessary, the pumps adapt to the actual system requirements with a function called AUTOAdapt™. This ensures that the pumps automatically adjust to the system and any variations in the system over the year with higher comfort and reduced energy consumption.
Easy operation
The embassy's electrician, Wang Yiqun, agrees that the pumps are very easy to operate. "I've been working for the embassy for almost 13 years and have never seen pumps like these," he says. "They don't make any noise or take up too much space. They are very practical since they have a lot of automatic functions, such as temperature and pressure control, which can't be compared with the previous pumps we used."
To document electricity consumption, Grundfos has kWh meters on all 34 units (some have a built-in kWh function) that now monitor consumption month by month. Even though the pumps were installed quite recently and the system has been running for just a short time, initial readings suggest that the energy savings are likely to meet the targets set by Grundfos and the embassy.
"If the system fulfils all our expectations, we will reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 25 tonnes annually," Jakobsen says. "We will save 40 percent of the energy previously used for circulation of hot and cold water. This results in a large savings for the embassy and contributes to a better environment as well, which benefits both the embassy and China."
"I've been working for the embassy for almost 13 years and have never seen pumps like these."
Wang Yiqun, electrician at the Royal Danish Embassy in China
Not just about saving money
The Danish embassy says it wants to encourage Danish, and especially Chinese, companies to follow its lead. However, water and electricity in China are government-subsidized, making prices relatively low, raising the question of whether there are financial benefits to "going green".
But Petersen says that is not the most important point.
"The most important issue in developing green solutions is to demonstrate the importance of being responsible towards the environment – not just saving money," Petersen says. "We are determined to invest in green innovation, to care about the world's climate today and in the future.
Other embassies are very interested in this project, but we also want to encourage Chinese companies to change their mind-sets and explore energy-saving solutions and develop a better understanding of investing in green technology, and Grundfos pumps bring a greater return on investment in the future. Purchasing an inferior product is a quick fix that over the long term becomes a very costly problem.
"Pollution in China has a huge personal and financial impact in many first-tier cities," Petersen adds, "including flight delays, congestion and increased medical costs, to name a few. We might not be Beijing's leading institution but we are changing behaviours with the aim of creating a greener China, and we will continue to embrace green solutions like Grundfos pumps. We have an almost-Chinese saying in Denmark: 'Many small brooks make a strong river.'"
Three types of circulators
These are the Grundfos products installed at the Danish embassy in Beijing for better indoor comfort:
18 Alpha 2 circulators for heating and cooling circulation
12 Magna 3 circulators for heating and cooling circulation and hot sanitary water circulation
4 NBGE circulators for primary heating and cooling circulation.

About the Danish Embassy: A workplace for 65 people
The Royal Danish Embassy compound is located in the Chaoyang District of Beijing. About 65 people work at the embassy, and the ambassador's residence is also located in the compound.
The embassy compound consists of nine buildings, with a total built area of 5,368 square metres, of which approximately 2,026 square metres are heated. The compound was originally constructed in 1973, but a wing was added to the office building in 1999, and in 2009 the officer quarters and garages were renovated and converted into a dining hall and conference room. The embassy consists of six departments and also houses a small Nordic police department, comprising two police officers from Denmark and Finland, plus a local assistant.

Yahoo's most important product is Yahoo Mail.
It may be in big trouble.
It may be Marissa Mayer's fault.
On December 11 of last year, Mayer wrote a blog post announcing a new version of Yahoo Mail.
It was a big deal for two reasons:
- The new Yahoo Mail was Yahoo's first major product release since Mayer joined the company. The reason the Yahoo board hired Mayer to be CEO is that she is widely considered to be a product genius. Did she deserve the reputation?
- Yahoo Mail is a huge source of traffic and, therefore, revenue for Yahoo. But, because teenagers don't email much at all and adults check email on their phones, Yahoo Mail was losing ground. Could Mayer's update reverse the trend?
In the months prior to that December 11 launch, Mayer made it clear to her direct reports that she knew the stakes were high. She pushed the Yahoo Mail team incredibly hard. The team responded, working nights and weekends for months.
It was a huge change of pace for Yahoo. The last major update to Yahoo Mail took the company 18 months to ship. With Mayer cracking the whip over Yahoo product leader Shashi Seth, the newest Yahoo Mail only took four months to build.
This didn't happen without some stress. Near the very end of the product development process – "the eleventh hour," says a source – Mayer decided that the new Yahoo Mail's colors were all wrong. It needed to be purple and yellow, she said, to match Yahoo's iconic colors.
Designers threatened to quit and there was a lot of grumbling, but the job got done – in remarkable time.
But now there are signs that Mayer pushed to get the product done too fast.
At the end of May, British Internet service-provider BT announced it was switching its 6 million users off of Yahoo Mail. A BT spokesperson said that users had been complaining about bugs in the product for months on BT's message boards, and that Yahoo had been unable to fix the issues.
That was bad news, but now there's worse.
We conducted a survey of 1,200 readers, and the results are brutal for Mayer and Yahoo.
Among those who say they use Yahoo Mail, 57% say they are "unhappy" with the version launched in December.
Mayer is famous for her obsession with putting users first.
That 57% statistic and the negative feedback on the message boards has to drive her nuts.
Here are some of these users' specific complaints about Yahoo Mail:
"The mail message frame is not fixed. If you read a new message, and scroll down to the bottom and decide you don't want to keep it, you can no longer access the delete button. Yes, obviously you can just close the email and then choose it again and delete, but that is a total waste of time and key strokes."
"Yahoo disappears emails sent between legitimate and active Yahoo accounts."
"I used Yahoo mail as a central box for most of my domain emails. After switching a couple of weeks ago and sending 30 test mails over three days to make sure it was all working, 6 never arrived. I even have specific filters set-up within Yahoo mail to make sure certain mails do not get put in the trash or spam by mistake."
"It's very laggy, and that pause of a second or two between commands makes it extremely frustrating."
"The new version of Yahoo mail makes all my messages older than a week or so unreadable. I get "Error 45" and the messages fail to load. There are numerous reports about this on the net; so far Yahoo hasn't managed to fix it. So, I have to launch the classic version of Yahoo mail just to read old messages. Fail."
- "Right after the switch I was hacked and my contacts all 500 plus were gone without a trace."
Besides the speed with which it was built, another reason that Yahoo Mail may be broken is that Shashi Seth, who led its development, no longer works at the company. Mayer asked him to leave Yahoo in January.
The only good news for Mayer in all this is that Yahoo Mail usage hasn't collapsed, despite all the complaining.
According to ComScore, it's about flat year-over-year.

Nightly News
Actress Cindy Lee Garcia has sued a California man believed to have produced a video ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad. She says she was misled into believing the movie was about ancient Egyptians.
An actress who appeared briefly in a movie that parodied the Prophet Muhammad and that triggered protests across the Islamic world sued a California man believed to have produced the video, saying she was misled to believe the video was a desert adventure movie about ancient Egyptians.
Actress Cindy Lee Garcia also named Google and YouTube (owned by Google) as defendants, citing invasion of privacy and other allegations. The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court also requested that the video, titled the "Innocence of Muslims," be removed from the Internet.
Garcia said the video has caused her great distress, the Los Angeles Times reported, and that she has received "credible death threats" and has been banned from caring for her grandchildren. She said in the filing that she was also fired from her job.
Actors and the assistant director of the film "Innocence of Muslims" told NBC News that the original spoken lines in the screenplay were dubbed over without their knowledge. NBC's Mike Taibbi reports.
"This is not a First Amendment issue," Garcia's attorney, M. Cris Armenta said, according to the LA Times. "This is an invasion of privacy issue."
The movie was shown at a theater in Los Angeles three months ago with fewer than 10 people in attendance, the LA Times reported. The movie, a seemingly low-budget and cartoonish production, depicts Muhammad as moronic, childish and obsessed with sex. In one scene, the actor playing the role of the prophet places his head between the legs of Garcia's character.
It wasn't until a week ago that clips began circulating online and were broadcast on Egyptian media, sparking protests against the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and the U.S. Consulate in Libya. The attacks on the consulate resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
Related: US Ambassador Chris Stevens was 'courageous and exemplary,' Obama says
Protests have spread to Tunisia and Australia, ranging from peaceful to violent. Seventeen people have been killed to date.
Since the protests began, a French satirical magazine produced cartoons that lampooned the prophet, triggering more outrage. In response, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, based in Saudi Arabia, has called for insults against religions to be made an international offense. The organization says that "growing intolerance towards Muslims" had to be checked and called for "an international code of conduct for media and social media to disallow the dissemination of inciteful material."
Government officials asked the magazine, which specializes in satire, not to print the drawings which portray Muslim prophet Mohammed as a naked man. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
Related: Christian activist says he was deceived over anti-Islam film
Garcia claims that she was tricked by a filmmaker who went by the name Sam Bacile. His real name is Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a 55-year-old Egypt-born Coptic Christian who lives in Los Angeles. He is on probation for convictions relating to federal financial crimes and was twice sentenced in the 1990s on drug charges, NBC News reported.
An ex-con named Nakoula Bessaly Nakoula was escorted from his Cerritos, Calif., home to answer questions about his role in a controversial anti-Islam film. NBC's Mike Taibbi reports.
The actress did not know there would be references to religion or any sexual content, the LA Times reported.
"It looks so unreal to me, it's like nothing that we even filmed was there," Garcia told Reuters in a phone interview. "There was all this weird stuff there."
An expired casting notice at Backstage.com listed a film named "Desert Warrior" that it described as a low-budget "historical Arabian Desert adventure film." None of the characters were identified in the casting call as Mohammad.
"They told me it was based on what it was like 2,000 years ago at the time of the Lord," Garcia said. "Like the time Christ was here."
NBC's Isolde Raftery contributed reporting.

text: Share: April 1, 2007 Lakes, Nitrogen In New York's Adirondack State Park, over 3,000 lakes and ponds dot the landscape. In many ways, the water within their shorelines is tied to the forests that abut them. Are the forests young or old? Are they growing on sandy soil or bedrock? And, perhaps most importantly, can they filter out pollutants?The Adirondack Park covers more than six million acres, making it the largest state or federal park in the contiguous United States. It has the misfortune, however, of being downwind from a number of major Midwestern power facilities. As a result of geography, these coal-burning plants send the park a steady supply of nitrogen pollution.It has been well documented that excess nitrate can cause freshwater acidification. Forest Ecologist Dr. Charles Canham and Aquatic Ecologist Dr. Michael Pace are interested in revealing if nitrogen, as a nutrient, could also pose a threat to Adirondack Park lakes. These lakes are among the last low-nutrient crystal-clear fresh waters in the U.S.; nitrogen enrichment could condemn them to a future of algal growth and reduced water clarity.Forests can serve as important filters for nitrogen, minimizing the amount that reaches nearby lakes. Canham and Pace hypothesize that atmospheric nitrogen loads are exceeding the forest's ability to filter watershed outputs, leading to nitrogen-loading in adjacent water bodies. Exploring the link between lake chemistry and wetland configuration is a daunting task; researchers are faced with a huge research site and hundreds of remote lakes that are difficult to access.Armed with the Adirondack Park Agency's watershed data, Canham and colleagues set out to gather water samples from 212 representative lakes. Collecting these samples required time, persistence, and ingenuity. The latter came in the form of Ed McNeil, an engineer and committed environmentalist who built and retrofitted a 28-foot float plane for lake sampling. McNeil's support for the project— donating the use of his plane, serving as pilot, and providing field sampling funds— was critical in getting it off the ground.Canham and McNeil spent the summer of 2006 gathering samples. These data are being used to fuel computer models that will help analyze nitrogen inputs, wetland buffering capacity, and the fate of the Adirondack Park lakes. Preliminary tests have revealed that many of the sampled lakes are being stressed by nitrogen inputs, especially those on the park's western side.The duo will take to the air again this summer, expanding the study to include another 200 lakes. This information will strengthen the models being used to help reveal what is happening in the region. Share: Feature The fate of Adirondack lakes › April 1, 2007

Spatula with doe. La Garma cave. Cantabria.
Have you ever wondered what life was like 35,000 years ago? You can discover all this along the northern coast of Spain, at some of the 18 prehistoric caves which have the UNESCO World Heritage designation on account of their variety, beauty, cave paintings and excellent state of conservation. Come and discover this major area of Spain's countryside, protected for its unique character and universal value. Feel like a real discoverer as you contemplate the marks left behind by our ancestors.
In July 2008, UNESCO granted the World Heritage designation to the Palaeolithic Cave Art of the Cantabrian Coast (northern Spain): a total of 17 prehistoric caves that went to complete the recognition granted by this organisation in 1985 to one of the most valuable caves in the world: Altamira, in Santillana del Mar. Come and discover all the caves that are open for visits, along with some true-to-life reproductions of this unique area with an incredible journey back in time in the beautiful Regions of the Basque Country, Cantabria and Asturias, which all form part of the Green Spain area. Welcome to the legacy of history. Welcome to a real symbol that has lasted through to our time.
In northwestern Spain is the Region of Asturias, one of the areas where paintings from the early Palaeolithic period will show you an ancient world of beliefs. Its World Heritage caves date from 35,000-9,000 BC. Here we suggest visits to the following: Peña de Candamo with its Hall of Etchings, Llonín Cave (Peñamellera Alta) with its paintings of deer, Pindal (Rivadedeva) set surrounded by cliffs overlooking the Cantabrian Sea with unusual representations of a mammoth and a fish, along with Tito Bustillo Cave (Ribadesella) with male and female sexual figures and a gallery with one of the most beautiful examples of a horse from the Palaeolithic period.
You will be amazed by the way the natural colouration of rock is used and by the objects discovered in caves such as Tito Bustillo – spatulas and harpoons made in bone. In the dark of the caves, these figures, age-old witnesses to the passing of time, seem to come to life.
The Region of Cantabria is located to the east of Asturias and is also a vital stop on your voyage into prehistory. There you will find World Heritage caves that constitute an underground journey into the origins of abstract thought. The "jewel in the crown" is Altamira Cave, known as the "Sistine Chapel of Quaternary art". There is an exceptional, exact replica of it at the Altamira Museum where you can see the amazing paintings of bison. You can also visit the caves of El Castillo and Las Monedas, both in Puente Viesgo. El Castillo Cave has one of Europe's largest ensembles of prehistoric art: 275 figures (bison, wild bulls, a mammoth, references to the human form…), proof of the presence of Homo sapiens, and more exciting still, evidence of the beginnings of art in mankind. Las Monedas Cave is very close by. You will be awestruck by its hall with 17 animal figures and by its spectacle of coloured stalactites. Feel its mystical atmosphere.
Not to be forgotten are the caves of Chufín (in Ciclones, with access by boat), Hornos de la Peña (in Tarriba), El Pendo (in Escobedo de Camargo, where objects like a walking stick have been discovered) and Covalanas (in Ramales de la Victoria). In all of these you will find artistic representations, each more interesting than the last: paintings in intense shades of red, human and animal figures, and etchings carried out using a range of techniques.
Major efforts in recreation
Although the remaining World Heritage caves on the Cantabrian Coast cannot be visited at this time, all the different Regions are working hard to offer replicas and other projects so that tourists can enjoy them. This is the case of the Basque Country, with the caves of Santimamiñe (Vizcaya), Altxerri and Ekain (both in Gipúzcoa). The Santimamiñe Caves, at the foot of Mount Ereñozar, offer a virtual visit where you can enjoy their amazing stalagmites and stalactites, as well as their cave paintings of bison, deer and wild bulls. Ekain Cave, for its part, is one of Europe's most important prehistoric sanctuaries, and a replica cave is due to be opened where guided tours will help you discover how the men and women of this site once lived. Once you are there, pay close attention because you will have before you 70 drawings that the cave inhabitants created 14,000 years ago.
Practical information
The majority of caves have free car parks close by and you can get right to them either by car or on foot. There are also train and bus services to nearby towns and villages. When you visit these archaeological gems, we recommend you travel with comfortable clothing and footwear for damp terrain. Once at the caves, you will be able to take guided tours in small groups.
Don't miss the chance to discover as many caves as possible – each one is unique. Let your imagination run free. Travel back into prehistory and discover the evidence of a long-disappeared age, of early men and women who were, nevertheless, the ancestors of all of us.

The Zion Narrows
The Narrows in Zion National Park, (near Springdale, Utah) is a section of canyon on the North Fork of the Virgin River. The hike of The Narrows is one of the premier hikes on the Colorado Plateau. The term The Narrows refers to both the through-hike of The Narrows, and to The Narrows themselves, especially the 3.6 miles (5.8 km) long section of canyon between the end of the Riverside Walk Trail and Big Spring. The Narrows lies north of, and upstream of, the main Zion Canyon. Hiking the Narrows was rated # 5 in the National Geographic ranking of America's Best 100 Adventures. Read More
Things To Do While In St George
Make the most of your stay with us here at the Comfort Inn. Make sure to plan in a little extra time for some fun. You will be amazed at all the things you can do here in St George.
St. George was founded as a cotton mission in 1861 under the direction of Apostle Erastus Snow, called by Brigham Young, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church)—part of a greater church effort to become self-sufficient. While the early settlers did manage to grow cotton, it was never produced at competitive market rates; consequently, cotton farming was eventually abandoned.
At the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, Brigham Young organized the settlement of what is now Washington County, Utah.
Fearing that the war would take away the cotton supply, he began plans for raising enough in this western country to supply the needs of his people. Enough favorable reports had come to him from this warm country below the rim of the Great Basin, that he was convinced cotton could be raised successfully here. At the general church conference in Salt Lake City on October 6th, 1861, about three hundred families were "called" to the Dixie mission to promote the cotton industry. Most of the people knew nothing of this expedition until their names were read from the pulpit; but in nearly every case, they responded with good will, and made ready to leave within the month's time allotted to them. The families were selected so as to ensure the communities the right number of farmers, masons, blacksmiths, businessmen, educators, carpenters, as needed.
The settlement was named after George A. Smith, an apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Bryce Canyon National Park
The Bryce Canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1874.The area around Bryce Canyon became a National Monument in 1923 and was designated as a National Park in 1928. The park covers 35,835 acres (55.992 sq mi; 14,502 ha; 145.02 km2)[1] and receives relatively few visitors compared to Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon, largely due to its remote location.

The Subway In Zion
We love Zion National Park and so do many of our guests. Starting in about April going clear until November we get a large influx of guests who are staying with us and visiting Zion, Bryce Canyon and The Grand Canyon. Many of those guests are hard core hikers.
The Subway is a colloquial name for a uniquely shaped slot canyon in Zion National Park. It is located between two peaks called the North and South Guardian Angels, deep within the Left Fork of North Creek. It is part of the larger Great West Canyon system, which includes both the Left and Right Forks of North Creek.
The Subway is so named for its tube-like, undercut slot canyons. This segment of canyon is less than 0.25 miles (0.40 km) in length, but long approach and exit hikes are necessary for access.Read More

8 Tips For Beginner Runners
With the St George Iron Man coming up, we thought it would be appropriate to post something about running. Running is one of the best workouts to keep you fit and healthy. It is not as hard as you think and it is one of the best ways to start your day bright and fresh. The first few days you may feel little hard, but each day that passes by, you'll feel enthusiastic, and you will wait for tomorrow to come soon, so that you can start another new and fresh day again.
Many people have already started running and it might be a great idea to join them. If you also want to join them, then learn these 8 basic tips to start again and get fit and healthy in no time. The simple basic tips include:
1. Have a goal: If you have a goal, it keeps reminds you and motivates you until you reach it. It takes at least three to six months to reach your goal. You can have a goal to complete certain distance or run at certain time, etc. Male sure you set a goal that is attainable and reasonable.
2. Go Slow: Don't follow strong workout regime, don't overdo it. Sometimes you get excited and you tend to run fast, which may cause other problems later. Remember when you are training for racing you should take it slow, don't overdo it. Like the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race.
3. Get good pair of Shoes: Shoes are very important in running; don't hesitate to invest for a good pair of shoes. Always keep them in good condition. In case your old ones are torn out, get new ones before you start your practice. Get checked your foot type and wear only the best shoe that gives comfort to your feet.
4. Know your body limits: You should understand and listen to your body, when it is paining, thirst, body aches, and mood swings are the signs that your body needs some rest. Don't neglect these signs, take some rest and then get medical help if required. It is ok to take a day off for practice, and give complete rest to your body.
5. Warm up: It is a good habit to warm up little bit before you start your routine. Jog or walk for few minutes before you start running. A warm up will enhances muscle flexibility. You will get more strength and will able to perform better. And also warm up can decrease the risk of injury.
6. Take complete rest and recover fast: When you feel tired, and your body needs some rest, then just stop everything for a while and give complete rest to your body and recover fast to start over you routine workout. Follow hard/easy training method. If you train hard one day, then go easy on the other day. Alternate days do hard and easy workouts to balance your body limitations.
7. Eat Properly: Runners need more energy; unless you eat properly you won't get sufficient energy. Food gives you fuel to run for longer time. During training sessions, you must eat well, don't do any kind of diet; you need more energy than ever when you are running a race. It doesn't mean that you should overload yourself, eat moderately, eat well and be fit to reach your goal.
8. Treat yourself: Once in a while give yourself some reward, eat the food that you really want to eat and get things that you are waiting to have, feel happy, feel great. It helps you reach your objective sooner.
Conclusion: Follow the above mentioned eight tips to pursue your goal. Reaching your goal should be your life ambition, and to get that you need to do more hard work and put lot of effort. All these process can help you become a good athlete and help your win more races in future.

For the truly competitive athlete, every loss or DNF is a tough one. But there have likely been very few losses tougher than Canadian ultra-runner Gary Robbins' result 2017 Barkley Marathons. After nearly 60 hours of racing, a missed turn in the last moments took him off the course as he approached the finish. He crossed the finish line from the wrong direction, a few seconds after the 60-hour time limit. It was unequivocally a DNF – and probably the most heartbreaking DNF in the history of DNFs.
It's the kind of result that has a less willful runner saying 'never again'. Gary Robbins, of course, is not the kind of runner, and after a quick recovery – he ran the Nolan's Fourteens just a few months later – he was back on the Barkley horse.
After last year's dramatic non-finish, Gary hit his saturation point talking about the race – no, really, he even told us so – so we figured we'd better focus on this year's race. Read on to find out how his training and preparation is going.
Third time training for the Barkley Marathon: What's different?
Through the first two years, I was definitely on the starting line with the physical and mental capabilities to finish the race. My training has been successful. I don't believe that there was anything in my training for the first few years that I had to alter.
But I did find that by focusing on this specific race for so long, that had me moving through difficult terrain at 2 miles per hour, I got really efficient at moving 2 miles per hour – so I haven't done much run training for the last few years. So, when I got back into my training in November my focus was on more run training. I got back into more 100-mile distance weeks, rather than vertical-based weeks for a couple of months in the winter. It helped to increase my fitness level. Last month the focus has shifted to 100% vertical training. Initially 20,000ft of climbing, then 30,000ft, and last week 40,000ft of climbing.
So I did change my training a bit initially to gain some fitness that I felt I was lacking. But the actual training block leading into the last Barkley worked so well that I'm actually looking at replicating that again.

Last year the race kicked your ass. How do you plan to deal with it on the course?
The race kicked my ass both years.
Last year, getting through the full 60 hours and the full five laps of the course was infinitely harder than even doing four laps. John Kelly even mentioned that there's such a steep curve of fatigue and difficulty and pain threshold that it's unfathomable how much more difficult doing the additional lap could be. I came out of that even more physically and mentally beat up. But – I recovered from the ass kicking very well in 2017. Well enough that only a few months later I went to Colorado and finished the Nolan 14's, which is 14 consecutive 14,000 ft peaks in under 60 hours.
That was the big difference in 2017 – that I recovered well after the race. In 2016 I really struggled for 6 to 8 months afterwards because I had done so much before the 2016 race. For the better part of 10 months, I have been healthy fit, been a runner, and feeling good about things which set me up to be able to withstand that ass-kicking this time.
Any non-traditional training?
Nothing non-traditional. Definitely kept focusing on orienteering and cross-training with strength training, things that I feel that are big components for success at the race. There is a large element of core and upper body strength that comes into play with a race like this – and moving smarter allows you to move a little bit slower because every mistake that you make means you need to move faster to make up for it. So, the better you can be with navigation, the more luxury you can give yourself with time on course.
Do you feel like you're in better physical shape?
I could be in the best shape that I've been in going into any of the Barkley's. I had a couple of setbacks in training – getting sick, and we lost our dog which we had for 12 years so that set me back emotionally for a little bit. But outside of those setbacks, I feel like this is one of the best training blocks that I've had in many, many years. My fitness is reflecting that. If things continue to go well I could show up at the Barkley in the best shape I have been in.
How about mental fitness – how do you train for a rest like this mentally?
Every long-distance race gets to a point where the race is completely impossible if you're not all in mentally.
For the Barkley it's true, but it's true much earlier. It's impossible to complete even a single lap without it becoming mentally draining. I've proven to myself in the first two attempts that I have the mental wherewithal to push through. That gives me a level of comfort, beyond year one fear of the unknown and year two fear of what I did know, I feel like this year three I have a lot less worry at how that's going to play out. I'm almost looking forward to the mental challenge because it is so unique for this race.
In training I try to replicate that challenge – I don't train with a partner because you need to become self-sufficient and to learn how to motivate and rally yourself in the low times.
Who else has a strong chance of winning or finishing?
That's an interesting question because they don't release a starters list. So you don't know who is in the race unless that person publicly proclaims that they are. There is a waitlist that they pull from and you do get to see the people that they select from the waitlist. In terms of the first 40 people selected, I only know about 4-5 people who may be doing the race. I know a few people who have had to pull out of the race for one reason or another.
The other thing to keep in mind is that it's not within the rules to speak about someone else's Barkley aspirations unless they have made it quite public.
So what I can say is that the race initially had a very high level of runner, and potentially the highest level of female runners they have ever seen with many recognized and hugely accomplished runners. The hope was that we were going to see a female fun runner (3 laps), a female onto the 4th lap or even finish all 5 laps this year. But a few have had to pull out for one reason or another.
There is one name that I can say because everyone knows that he is in the race because he qualified by winning one of race organizer Lance's other races. That's French runner Guillaume Calmettes. He is a good friend that I've known for many years. He's a staunch competitor and a wonderful person who I'm looking forward to potentially spending some time with during the race. He's never been to Frozen Head before (the location of Barkley Marathons) so he is a complete virgin.
Will this be Gary's final Barkley?
Your fans are asking and I'm sure your family as well, if you win is it the last one - or will you keep coming back?
The joke I made when during the "Where Dreams Go To Die" movie tour was that I hope you can tell that I love my wife and I want to stay married to her. So this is one and done.
Truly, I have a lot of other goals that I'd like to pursue that have been taking a back seat to completing the Barkley. Not only has this taken longer than anticipated, it's taken more out of me. I don't have a desire to be a multi-time finisher of the Barkley. I want to be a finisher above all else and when that does happen I would be very happy to return to the park, hang out in the campground and mock those who head out on to the course for the weekend.
We know that you use Suunto watches for training but can't use a gps watch during the race. Anything change in your 2018 gear or kit?
Over the first two years, I've run in the Salomon Sense Pro, because that shoe was the best fit for me. I had some issues with traction, but my feet held out because it was the best fit for my foot. I really wanted a more aggressive tread on a shoe for this race. Along came the Sense Ride in Fall 2017, and I put it on my foot and it's my dream shoe for trail running. It fits perfectly and the lug on it is so nice. So one of the few changes I'm making this year is going with the Sense Ride footwear from Salomon.
The only other change to really report is that through the first two years I only used music in the last lap when I knew I would run alone. But I love music and enjoy listening to music when I'm running, doing difficult things or lacking motivation. Over the last few months, I have been building out my music systems with different MP3 players and Bluetooth headphones. I intend to use music much more readily throughout the race to assist in keeping my mind in a positive state. I haven't done that before and I'm curious to see the benefits.
Music assists Gary in keeping his mind in a positive state.
Sweet – so what's on your playlist for getting through Barkley 2018?
Old school Beastie Boys is right up there near that top of my list. Certainly some Tragically Hip. There will be some Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave mixed in there. I like a good 90s playlist – when George Michael "Freedom" comes on, for some reason, my step kicks up a notch. Probably some Beck.
'Where Dreams Go To Die' has been all over the ultra-running community. How has re-living one of your toughest life challenges been?
The film itself, though, I only watched for the first time two days before the first showing. I didn't realize how deeply seeded the scaring actually was. I believed before going on tour that I would watch it two or three times and rationalize it and be fine. But that wasn't the case. I never got the point where I was able to watch it without becoming upset.
In hindsight, looking back at that film tour, that was such an incredibly unique and special experience that I'm so thankful for. It was a huge commitment, tens of thousands of dollars, and we took a real calculated risk in the belief that it would work. And it did. The experience itself was exceptional and I would do it ten times out of ten.
The further we got into the showings, we were more and more sleep deprived, which leaves you more emotionally raw. There were some really rough nights, where I was doing everything in my power not to become upset again for the seventh time. It was unexpected. It provided valuable insight into what my family went through in camp while I was on the course. That more than anything gave me more fuel to know that we are all in as a family. They are so invested in every moment of that race with me. It's not just me out there. It's me, my wife and my child that are trying to get this done.
Stay tuned for a follow-up report after Gary's third (and hopefully final!) Barkley Marathons. In the meantime you can watch Where Dreams Go To Die here.

Hotel Alpenpark Reviews
Just came back a holiday from Austria and stayed at the Alpen Park Hotel. The hotel is very welcoming and friendly. As our stay progressed the place just got better and better. The food is 5 star with a buffet style meal for breakfast, lunch and again a salad bar for starter dinner with a 4 course meal on top of that, the wine with the meal was beautiful and reasonably priced as it was good quality wine. The facilities were also fantastic with an outdoor and indoor pool with beauty spa. We never had young children with us but if you did they thought of everything from baby buffet with free bibs to children's buffet with ice lollies, they also had pool facilities and creche. The hotel very spacious with a log fire with excellent attentive staff. It is also centrally located and not far from the slopes which are great for beginners and intermediates. I would not hesitate to book this hotel again, well done Alpen Park.
Apres Ski: 5/5
Accommodation & Value: 5/5

You meet them in newspapers and boatsheds, street corners and museums
It is a good thing that we live in Chesapeake Country, not Pagford. Muggles muddle into miserable messes in the scenic village of J.K. Rowling's first novel set outside the world of wizardry. A teen antihero whose only value is trying to live authentically gets into particularly nasty trouble.
Maybe living authentically is not one of those things you can achieve by trying. If you trust the lessons of fiction in general or, in particular, Rowling's Casual Vacancy.
In real-life Chesapeake Country, however, living authentically seems not so hard.
Charter fisherman Wayne Adolph certainly didn't use that word when he called me to recommend boatwright Robert 'Bunny' Joyce as worth a story. But he meant something like that in his description of a man whose work is putting broken things aright and making leaky things seaworthy.
Chesapeake Country has a culture of old crafts. Building boats, houses and barns; working the land and the water; taking care of people and places. Working with your hands in ways set over time by generations initiates you into a guild. Work like that makes you bigger than any one person. You've got standards to keep up, and that obligation gives you standards of your own.
Bunny Joyce is one of a kind, but he's not alone. People like that still live and work all over Chesapeake Country. You read about them in Bay Weekly. But you can get even closer. You can meet real people who would laugh if you accused them of living authentically, though they may be doing just that because of their grounding in elemental work upheld by a tradition.
You find them in boatsheds like the serviceable one where I met Joyce. You might charter a fishing trip and find such a person beneath the bull and banter. Buy crabs, oysters from one, or pumpkins and persimmons from another. You might chance on one at work on a ladder rebuilding an old barn.
I wouldn't be surprised if you ran into such people anywhere in Chesapeake Country.
Visit Boat Show Sunday, and you might run into one such authentic at a portable table outside Fleet Reserve Club. That's where street minister Tony Tona sets up each year to hand out Bibles. The streets are his church, as the easy talker from Coney Island will tell you. So will his book, Working the Front Lines: Life on the Streets. Tona believes he was saved for the work of saving others: from the homeless and addicts to cops, lawyers, doctors, businessmen.
He's done that work for 30 years, "determined to live by faith, not asking anyone for money, food or a place to stay."
The Holy Spirit, he says, sent him to Annapolis with orders to prostrate himself on a specific corner for five days in a row. At the end, he says he saw the reason for an insane act he'd have rather avoided.
Add City Dock to Lawyers Mall and the Statehouse as places people come to proclaim their beliefs. Agree with them or not, you can admire the strength of their devotion to a cause bigger than themselves.
That's part, I think, of living authentically.
Over the last couple of weeks, we've had news of the retirement of three men who threw themselves into work bigger than themselves, and made Chesapeake Country better by their work. Tom Marquardt is retiring as editor and publisher of The Capital after 35 years. Jeff Holland leaves Annapolis Maritime Museum after 11 years as its executive director. John Guild leaves Historic Annapolis after four years as its president.
We won't see their faces in the same places, but their legacies will live in the institutions each has redefined with his work. Work like theirs shapes the person as much as the boat, museum or newspaper, so they take all they've done into their futures.
As I said, we're lucky to live in Chesapeake Country, where traditions enrich people and people enrich traditions.
P.S. Women deserve equal time. Lead me to them.
