Scenery, supporters offset runners' pain in Seattle Marathon
By J.J. Jensen
Seattle Times staff reporter
Braving temperatures in the low 30s, runners by the hundreds began arriving at Seattle Center before dawn yesterday in preparation for the 34th Seattle Marathon.
By the time the sun had begun to burn through morning fog, the number of runners had grown into the thousands — stretching, adjusting gear, drinking water and making last-minute pit stops at Honey Buckets.
They ranged in age from 9-year-old Makenna Larsen of Tacoma to 74-year-old Bob Dolphin of Renton, participating in his 310th marathon. They participated in wheelchairs and three-wheel, arm-powered cycles. And they came from all parts of the United States, nearly 20 countries and towns around the state from Forks to Spokane.
"They're major running freaks," said 12-year-old well-wisher Courtney Wells of Kelowna, B.C., whose father, Trevor, was among the record 12,500 people who were knowingly going to put their bodies through a 26.2- or 13.1-mile course.
By 7:15 a.m., the marathon walkers were under way, followed by the half-marathon runners and walkers. Finally, at 8:15 a.m., like thoroughbreds from the starting gate, some 2,325 marathon runners took off in a stampede of Asics and Adidas.
The next several hours would see the athletes go across Lake Washington on the Interstate 90 Floating Bridge, through Seward and Leschi parks and up the hilly and curvy East Interlaken Boulevard before arriving at the finish line at Memorial Stadium.
Along the way, families passed out cups of water as thousands of residents lining the streets cheered the runners on. Music blared from some households to encourage the runners, including Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild."
Participants said the scenery and the supporters made the Seattle Marathon, sponsored for the second year by Harrisdirect, worth the physical agony.
"There were so many people, and everyone was offering great support," said 29-year-old Elizabeth Frame, a University of California, San Diego grad student and University of Washington graduate, who won the female marathon in 2:57.19. It was just her second marathon.
"There's no way you can run 26 miles without people helping you along the way," she said. "Plus, it's a gorgeous city."
Mark Ganley of Bellevue was there to offer support to a friend.
"I think it means a lot to them," he said. "I think it helps them keep running."
Courtney Jelaco, 47, of Seattle, said she got an extra boost from having 13-year-old daughter Louisa's support at the finish line.
"If my running inspires her to stay healthy, that means a lot to me," she said. "I want her to think when she grows up, 'My mom was running when she was 47.' "
Her husband, Ron Jelaco, 50, had been eating right and training hard in recent weeks, in preparation for his second marathon.
"I'm really hungry," he said. "I just want a hamburger and pizza."
In addition to the record number of registrants (an official count in several days should surpass last year's 11,650, officials say), race director Louise Long said the marathon helped raise about $40,000 for Candlelighters of Puget Sound, a nonprofit group that aids children with cancer.
No major injuries occurred during the event, and Seattle police reported only minor traffic problems.

It's been 841 days since I ran the Seattle Marathon. As I was waiting for the race to start, a very attractive young woman kicked my foot and I started talking to her. She was going to college in Provo and I described being out there the previous year for Ironman Utah. She told me that people say to stay out of that lake now because of "dead bodies" in it. I saw her later and she was far ahead of me in the race. I remember also thinking that people were watching me, beyond the normal spectating. I passed by a group of people and heard someone say "there he is." The next day at work, the director my group told me she had been there to watch the finish of the race. She described how she had accidently showed up or something like that, but I wasn't buying it. A cute woman at work that day was wearing clothes that looked suspicously similar to what I had wore for the race.
I think this was the 4th of 5 marathons I finished in a year period. I'm not sure of exact dates offhand but between Dec 2002 and Dec 2003, I completed 5 marathons, 2 sprint triathlons, and I trained for and participated in Ironman CDA

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_misconduct
Scientific misconduct
Scientific misconduct is the violation of the standard codes of scholarly conduct and ethical behavior in professional scientific research. A Lancet review on Handling of Scientific Misconduct in Scandinavian countries provides the following sample definitions:
Danish Definition: "Intention(al) or gross negligence leading to fabrication of the scientific message or a false credit or emphasis given to a scientist"
Swedish Definition: "Intention(al) distortion of the research process by fabrication of data, text, hypothesis, or methods from another researcher's manuscript form or publication; or distortion of the research process in other ways."
The consequences of scientific misconduct can be severe at a personal level for both perpetrators and any individual who exposes it. In addition there are public health implications attached to the promotion of medical or other interventions based on dubious research findings.
Motivation to commit scientific misconduct
According to David Goodstein of Caltech, there are three main motivators for scientists to commit misconduct, which are briefly summarised here.
Career pressure
Science is still a very strongly career-driven discipline. Scientists depend on a good reputation to receive ongoing support and funding; and a good reputation relies largely on the publication of high-profile scientific papers. Hence, there is a strong imperative to "publish or perish". Clearly, this may motivate desperate (or fame-hungry) scientists to fabricate results.
To this category may also be added a paranoia that there are other scientists out there who are close to success in the same experiment, which puts extra pressure on being the first one. It is suggested as a cause of the fraud of Hwang Woo-Suk. A main source of detection comes when other research teams in fact fail or get different results.
Pride
Even on the rare occasions when scientists do falsify data, they almost never do so with the active intent to introduce false information into the body of scientific knowledge. Rather, they intend to introduce a fact that they believe is true, without going to the trouble and difficulty of actually performing the experiments required.
The ability to get away with it
In many scientific fields, results are often difficult to reproduce accurately, being obscured by noise, artifacts and other extraneous data. That means that even if a scientist does falsify data, they can expect to get away with it - or at least claim innocence if their results conflict with others in the same field. There is no "scientific police" which is trained to fight scientific crimes, all investigations are made by experts in science but amateurs in dealing with criminals. It is relatively easy to cheat.
Money
There is the additional incentive of money. If one has a promising proposal in area where federal or other grant money or funding is available especially in new technologies where there is no existing standard against which to compare, the submission of preliminary data cannot be confirmed until further research is done.
Ideology
While perhaps the least common incentive, it is still there. The classic example would be anti-abortionists claiming sonograms show the silent scream of an aborted fetus demonstrates the fetus is alive with feeling, while pro-abortionists would submit demographic studies showing that woman who considered abortion but later decided against it are doomed to life of dependency on welfare, lower socio-economic status, relationship abuse, child abuse, drug abuse, etc.
Forms of scientific misconduct
Forms of scientific misconduct include:
fabrication – the publication of deliberately false or misleading research, often subdivided into:
Obfuscation - The Omission of critical data or results. Example: Only reporting positive outcomes and not adverse outcomes.
Fabrication – the actual making up of research data and (the intent of) publishing them, sometimes referred to as "drylabbing".
Falsification – manipulation of research data and processes in order to reflect or prevent a certain result.
bare assertions - making entirely unsubstantiated claims
Another form of fabrication is where references are included to give arguments the appearance of widespread acceptance, but are actually fake, and/or do not support the argument.
plagiarism – the act of taking credit (or attempting to take credit) for the work of another. A subset is citation plagiarism – willful or negligent failure to appropriately credit other or prior discoverers, so as to give an improper impression of priority. This is also known as, "citation amnesia", the "disregard syndrome" and "bibliographic negligence". Arguably, this is the most common type of scientific misconduct. Sometimes it is difficult to guess whether authors intentionally ignored a highly relevant cite or lacked knowledge of the prior work. Discovery credit can also be inadvertently reassigned from the original discoverer to a better-known researcher. This is a special case of the Matthew effect.
self-plagiarism – or Multiple publication of the same content with different titles and/or in different journals is sometimes also considered as misconduct; scientific journals explicitly ask authors not to do this. It is refererred to as "salami" in in the jargon of medical journal editors.(MJE) (many identical slices) According to some MJE This includes publishing the same article in a different language.
the violation of ethical standards regarding human and animal experiments – such as the standard that a human subject of the experiment must give informed consent to the experiment.
ghostwriting – the phenomenon where someone other than the named author(s) makes a major contribution.

Narrator: Cameo of a man who has just lost his most valuable possession. He doesn't know about the loss yet. In fact, he doesn't even know about the possession. Because, like most people, David Gurney has never really thought through the matter of his identity. But, he's going to be thinking about it a great deal from now on, because that is what he's lost. And his search for it is going to take him into the darkest corners of the Twilight Zone.

History, After All
"it's a small world" was created for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair in honor of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Personally overseen by Walt Disney, the attraction was a huge hit for 2 seasons at the fair and was eventually shipped back to Disneyland Park, where it reopened on May 28, 1966.
Due to its immense popularity, the attraction has been replicated in every Disney park around the world and is considered a Walt Disney classic.

Disney - It's a small world
it's a world of laughter, a world or tears
its a world of hopes, its a world of fear
theres so much that we share
that its time we're aware
its a small world after all
CHORUS:
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world
There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small small world
Pines (The Wayward Pines Trilogy, Book 1)
Chapter 1
By the time he'd reached the other side of the park, he was more alert and more confused, and the pulsing in his cervical spine wasn't painless any longer.
He knew six things:
The name of the current president.
What his mother's face looked like, though he couldn't recall her name or even the sound of her voice.
That he could play the piano.
And fly a helicopter.
That he was thirty-seven years old.
And that he needed to get to a hospital.
Outside those facts, the world and his place in it wasn't so much hidden as printed in a foreign nomenclature beyond his comprehension. He could sense the truth hovering on the outskirts of consciousness, but it lay just out of reach.
He walked up a quiet residential street, studying every car he passed. Did one of them belong to him?
