Bronx half-marathon photos… notice the longer shorts! Not sure that the color suits me, though. The New York Yankees announced today that they have placed RHP Chien-Ming Wang on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation of the right shoulder (retroactive to July 9th) and purchased the contract of RHP Tim Redding from Triple-A Columbus. To make room on the 40-man roster for Redding, the Yankees designated INF Eric Crozier for […] From today’s paper: Iraqi kids blown apart Car bomber hits children getting candy from G.I.s By DEREK ROSE DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Children’s mangled, bloody bodies lined a Baghdad street yesterday after a suicide attacker drove his bomb-laden car into a crowd of kids getting candy from U.S. troops. Tiny plastic sandals, some stained with […] Exploring the sewers last night… There’s this: BAGHDAD, Iraq – A suicide car bomb exploded next to U.S. troops handing out candy and toys, killing 18 children and teenagers Wednesday. Parents heard the shattering explosion and raced out to the discover the worst — children’s mangled, bloodied bodies strewn on the street. And then this: COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho – Convicted […] The latest Rundown is up and running at Mark’s blog, the very cooly-named A Passion for Running. The theme of this week’s carnival is bloggers meeting up for runs, something I’ve blogged about before. Anyway, check it out. How nonsensical is the term “homicide bomber”? It’s an Orwellian, meaningless phrase — how many bombers aren’t homicide bomers? As “Juan Non-Volokh” writes, “Would it make any sense to refer to a murderer as a “homicide killer”? … Indeed, the only purpose of inserting the word “homicide” is to make a political statement. Unfortunately, […] From collegehumor.com – how Boston runners stay in shape. Pretty funny (in a juvenile way). Too friggin’ funny: I’m a lesbian with a number of straight male friends. This means I’ve become aware of some of the misconceptions and questions in the straight male community about lesbians. I would like to address one here–namely, the topic of boobs. Honkers. Gazongas. Love pillows. Cadillac bumper bullets. What is it like to […] An eye-opening article about how blogging could hurt your next job search. The author is talking about academics, but perhaps it applies to everyone… The pertinent question for bloggers is simply, Why? What is the purpose of broadcasting one’s unfiltered thoughts to the whole wired world? It’s not hard to imagine legitimate, constructive applications […] So just a 1:45:25 in the Bronx half-marathon this morning. 8:02 pace. Lots of excuses I could use: left hamstring was tight. It was kinda hot (76 deg.). And I didn’t run a smart race. (The 7:20 pace for first three miles was too fast). But really, the fact is I just haven’t been very […] The New Face of Al Qaeda, LAT, 9/26/04: RABAT, Morocco – Authorities have made little progress worldwide in defeating Islamic extremists affiliated with Al Qaeda despite thwarting attacks and arresting high-profile figures, according to interviews with intelligence and law enforcement officials and outside experts. On the contrary, officials warn that the Bush administration’s upbeat assessment […] London Mayor Ken Livingstone: Finally, I wish to speak directly to those who came to London today to take life. I know that you personally do not fear giving up your own life in order to take others – that is why you are so dangerous. But I know you fear that you may fail […] I’ve covered a lot of terrible stuff as a reporter … but this has to be right up there among the worst: Perv molested us, kidnapped girl sez BY DEREK ROSE DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Young Shasta Groene told cops she and her 9-year-old brother were repeatedly molested by the creep who snatched them from […] After skipping a week (my bad), the latest Rundown is up and running. Happy Fourth! Picture of the fireworks display taken from my apartment with my cameraphone… I celebrated with a 19.7-mile run in Central Park. It was not exactly speedy — a little over three hours — but actually my first real long run in weeks. Between the heat wave, some out-of-town travel, and a tweaked […] so last night I finally went over and got all my stuff from S. and gave her back her keys, which I had sort of been putting off doing. There was a lot of stuff, two huge duffle bags worth, plus a smaller handbag. (She lives right next to Central Park, so we spent 99% […] So convicted child rapist Joe Duncan, suspected in the beating deaths of the Groene family of Idaho, kept a blog. He was arrested Saturday eating at Denny’s with 8-year-old Shasta Groene, who may turn out to be the only surviving member of her household. Some of the chilling excerpts: I am scared, alone, and confused, […] So, I’ll be 33 tomorrow… and what have I accomplished with my life? ummm…. Well, I’ve saved a little money — run 10 marathons — broken a couple stories — and, I guess, a few hearts… Hmm.
