Well lookie lookie.With the win tonight, the Yankees are playing .500 baseball.Not only that, but Wil Nieves got a hit! Okay, so he got thrown out at second base trying to make his hit a double instead of a single, but still, A HIT!Congratulations, New York Yankees, say hello to Mediocrity.

In these joints, bones are not directly adjoined but cartilage covers the joints to allow smoother movement. The synovial fluid, that fills the joint cavity covering the joint, sends nutrients to the joint cartilage. If there is no movement, the nutrients will not reach the joints, possibly causing the joint to go bad.

Three: Run the entire race (didn’t happen because of my upset belly.) Four: Run it in 5:45 (didn’t happen, again, probably largely due to the belly.)Normally, my stomach doesn’t bother me at all when I run or race. The only time I’ve had an upset stomach while running was on our last 20 mile training run, and as I was dealing with major endometriosis pain at the time, and had taken a painkiller before the run, I figured those two things combined contributed to my upset stomach. Cute, anyhow, especially when the little kids tried to say it!Kilometre splits and commentary on some of them:1 & 2: 16:15 (missed the first kilometre marker)3: 8:17 (uphill)4: 8:05 (slight uphill)5: 8:03 (slight uphill)6: 7:46 (slight downhill)7: 7:36 (slight downhill)8: 8:04 (fiddling with my first gel)9: 7:41 (feeling good)10: 7:5111: 7:10 (big downhill)12: 7:3913: 8:0014: 8:07 (a little windy here)15: 7:5616: 7:5617: 8:07 (took my second gel)18: 7:5319: 8:26 (strong winds: 20 km/hr with gusts up to 40 km/hr )20: 7:5221: 8:0622: 8:42 (more strong wind )23: 8:31 (still windy)24: 8:54 (stomach starting to bother me )25: 9:26 (stomach not happy)26: 9:36 (stomach not happy)27: 9:51 (stomach REALLY not happy )28: 9:21 (took walk break to try to settle stomach)29: 8:27 (stomach happier after the walk break)30 & 31: 16:38 (missed 30 km mark - had photo and video taken)32: 8:32 (stomach acting up a bit again)33: 8:0534: 7:5735: 8:14 (stomach not letting me run any faster )36: 8:0937: 8:22 (starting to get tired)38: 9:47 (tired and hot - it’s too sunny - where’s my shade? )39: 8:3140: 8:51 (slight uphill right here)41: 8:23 (then a little bit of a downhill - stomach still not terribly happy)42: 8:35 (trying to turn it on, but my stomach didn’t want me going faster)0.2: 1:14Total time (watch): 5:51:18 Chip time: 5:51:11 Clock time: 5:54:09So, I’m happy that I have a new marathon PR, but upset that I didn’t manage to run the entire thing, and didn’t manage that 5:45 I had hoped for.

Northern Iowa at Iowa State (9/8) - The Panthers were one 51-yard field goal away from upsetting the Cyclones last season, and should have an even better chance this year with a team that opens the season on the short list of top national title contenders.I can’t imagine Coach Chizik and the guys would take very kindly to losing to a I-AA team, title contendor status be damned. After all, he looked better last year in the first half against Iowa State just using short passes than anyone I’ve seen in a while. I’ve got to think that having Terry Carroll back in the state of Iowa can only be good for the Iowa JUCO ranks and any possible recruiting targets that ISU may try to pull out of the SE part of the state. The best Iowa State teams in recent years forced turnovers, especially off of the interception.

Presented by NYWIFT, the discussion was moderated by documentary filmmaker Doug Block (Director of 51 Birch Street), and the panelists included: Mike Maggiore, Programmer and Publicist for Film Forum; With so many avenues to cover - from the festival circuit to theatrical release to educational to broadcast to home video - I don’t think most filmmakers look favorably on signing away all rights exclusively to one distributor.

It’s been nearly a week, and I thought that I would look at the election results in Crawley in more detail, comparing with 2006 and 2004 (all out).I am particularly interested in the overall trends, and I won’t produce the results for all 39 instances.I’ll start Ward by Ward, and then go over the parties at the end.Bewbush2004 - 3 Labour, maj 193/216/2752006 - Labour, maj 1922007 - Labour, maj 374A Safe Labour ward.
