Welcome to May 14, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate breaking records in sports and dance. In the 2016 Summer Olympics, Im Dong Hyun broke the points record in the men's archery competition. The South Korean archer did this despite being legally blind. So how exactly does someone with impaired vision compete in a sport that normally requires such sharp eyesight? He says that the target “looks as if different color paints have been dropped in water” and he aims for the middle of the smallest drop. And by the way, the Olympic record he shattered was the one he also set in the 2012 Olympics. On National Archery Day, try a sport that looks deceptively simple. As soon as you hear the upbeat oom, pah, pah of the Chicken Dance song, you know what happens next. Everyone heads to the dance floor and spends the next few minutes dancing in unison. Since it debuted in the 1950s, this silly little song has become a mainstay at weddings and Oktoberfest celebrations. In 1996, fans of the song took things to the extreme, setting the record for world's largest Chicken Dance. 72,000 people were all flapping their arms and shaking their tail feathers at once. On National Dance Like A Chicken Day, shake things up with an impromptu dance. Even if you're a party of one, it's hard not to smile when you're pretending to be poultry.

John Hoke, Nike's chief design officer, intimately understands how to move design from an object to a feeling. At the company over the past three decades, he has refined his approach to center around creating designs that serve wearers in practical yet unexpected ways, and that often redefine what sportswear can look like and do. Hoke often tells his team that “the goal is goosebumps”—to develop ideas so great that they can be physically felt. Hoke's role in Nike's legacy of innovation runs deep. He joined the Beaverton, Oregon–based company in 1992, at age 28, after studying architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and working as a model-maker for the late architect Michael Graves. Hoke, who is dyslexic, considers drawing his first language, his way of articulating the reactions he has to the things he sees. Connecting images with emotions is his portal to new ideas, which he has realized across many forward-thinking projects, ranging from singlets made from recycled polyester and water bottles, produced for the 2000 Summer Olympics; to Space Hippie, a footwear collection inspired by life on Mars; to the 2020 Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%, a shoe with a carbon-fiber plate that literally propels wearers forward. Even as Nike marks its 50th anniversary this year, Hoke has his sights set on the future, refusing to settle for what has worked in the past. Design, he believes, is a continual, iterative process of improvement. On this episode, Hoke talks with Andrew about how physical movement amplifies the senses, design as an act of optimism, and why perfection is a trap.Special thanks to our Season 5 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Full transcript[04:16] Nike[07:11] Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT%[12:43] Nike FlyEase[13:06] Nike Air VaporMax [16:12] Nike's FY20 Impact Report [18:03] Space Hippie[19:36] Nike Considered Design[45:29] Michael Graves[01:02:19] Nike: Better Is Temporary[01:04:26] LeBron James Innovation Center[01:04:26] Serena Williams Building

Keith Frostad wasn't out publicly in the media around the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, but he was known to be gay in the elite swimming world. When he talked about all of this with Zachary Draves of Nuts & Bolts Sports, he shared publicly for the first time intimate details of being harassed repeatedly by male swimmers on Team USA and at the University of Texas. He also found strength in the support he received from some swimmers, including many on the women's teams. And his attempt to reach the 1996 Olympics gave him a heart-warming story of support that remains with him to this day. He shares with us details of his experiences, including apparent pressure from representatives of the US Olympic Committee to stay quiet about being gay at the Olympics.

This week Clint and Dawson Talk with Kris Wheeler. Kris is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and commercial content creator. The professional journey of this North Georgia native is rooted in a foundation of journalism and storytelling. In recent years, Wheeler's film work has garnered coverage in national publications and media outlets, including: Billboard Magazine, USA Today, Garden & Gun Magazine, Paste Magazine and NPR World Cafe. In November 2018, his film, Revival: The Sam Bush Story, became a hit with Amazon viewers, quickly climbing into the “Top 10 Best Sellers” list for documentaries following its commercial release. Revival earned four “Best” film awards on the indie film festival circuit, including “Best Music Documentary” in its World Premiere at the Nashville Film Festival. Wheeler's storytelling skills were developed early in his career, in route to becoming an award-winning newspaper journalist and feature writer. After covering the Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, he moved quickly through the publishing ranks, and was named the following year as Managing Editor at Rural Press USA, the world's largest publisher of agricultural magazines. At age 32, Wheeler kicked off his journey as an entrepreneur, publishing a series of magazines over the ensuing years, including Atlanta House & Home and Coastal Homes & Lifestyles. In 2008, he walked away from the publishing world to pursue a life-long dream of filmmaking. Since then, he has gone on to write, direct and produce three feature-length documentary films, two on-demand series. Wheeler's commercial work focuses on creating story-driven content for a diverse range of clients, including ad agencies, global corporations and national healthcare brands. Other projects currently streaming — available on Amazon — include the on-demand series, “Ride To Extraordinary,” and “Undiscovered.” Wheeler is currently in production on a feature-length documentary about the life of Grace Ragland.

Author David Davis returns to the show to talk about his book Waterman: The Life and Times of Duke Kahanamoku, about the legendary 3x Olympic medalist and surfing pioneer. David's book has been turned into a documentary that will air on PBS' American Masters in May.   Duke Kahanamoku won back-to-back gold medals in the 100m freestyle at the 1912 and 1920 Summer Olympics. He also won silver at the 1924 Summer Olympics, just losing out to Johnny Weissmuller, in an Olympic career that spanned a whopping 12 years.   If it weren't for Duke, surfing might not have become the sport it is today. Duke spread his love of surfing around the world, essentially starting surfing cultures in California and Australia.  Follow David on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/ddavisla Check out his website: http://www.ddavisla.com/.   You can get his books (and support the show) by shopping through our Bookshop.org storefront.   Also on today's show, we have: An Albertville 1992 Winter Olympic first News from TKFLASTAN Updates from Paris 2024 and Milan-Cortina 2026 For a transcript of this episode, please visit: https://wp.me/pbRtIx-1QV   Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive! ***  Keep the Flame Alive: The Podcast for Fans of the Olympics and Paralympics with hosts Jill Jaracz & Alison Brown   Support the show: Tell a friend: http://flamealivepod.com Bookshop.org store: https://bookshop.org/shop/flamealivepod Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/flamealivepod   Hang out with us online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flamealivepod Insta: http://www.instagram.com/flamealivepod Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/flamealivepod Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/312069749587022   Newsletter: Sign up at http://flamealivepod.com VM/Text: (208) FLAME-IT / (208) 352-6348  

We've talked about the yips, but what about the twisties? The infamous variety of yips that afflicts aerial athletes, the twisties is a term which describes the experience of athletes who lose their sense of proprioception, or their awareness of where their bodies are in space. It was this unusual malady that led to Simone Biles stepping away from the 2020 Summer Olympics, and although she may be the best known athlete to have battled the twisties, Simone Biles is far from the only athlete who has experienced it. To better understand this strange and dangerous phenomenon, Justin sits down with Aimee Boorman, one of the top gymnastics coaches in the world and the former coach of Simone Biles herself. And for a look at how an athlete contends with the twisties–and triumphs in spite of it–you'll hear from Gary Hunt, one of the best cliff divers in the world and the nine-time Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series Champion.    Aimee Boorman, a veteran gymnastics coach who has worked with elite gymnasts for many years, and the former coach of Simone Biles Gary Hunt, an unrivaled cliff diver and nine-time Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series Champion  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jordan Larson is a three time (2012, 2016, 2021) USA Olympic Women's Volleyball player. Her 2021 Olympics win allowed her to complete the trifecta of winning an Olympic bronze, silver, and gold medal. Not bad for a kid from Hooper Nebraska. Jordan started her college volleyball career at the University of Nebraska. In 2006, she led the Huskers to the NCAA title and was named to the AVCA All-America First Team. In 2008, as a senior, she was named to the AVCA All-America First Team. She was also chosen as the Big 12 Player of the Year and the league's defensive player of the year; it was the first time that a player achieved both in the same year. Over her four-year college career, Larson had a total of 1,600 kills and 1,410 digs. Larson graduated from the University of Nebraska in 2008 with a degree in communications studies. On June 7, 2021, US National Team head coach Karch Kiraly announced Larson would be part of the 12-player Olympic roster for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, her third straight Olympic Games. She has discussed how this would be her last Olympics, and she became the fifth oldest volleyball player in USA history to be named to an Olympic roster. We talk about how it all started, growing up a small mid west town of 800 people, leadership, marriage and coaching. In January 2022, Larson was named as an assistant coach for the University of Texas women's volleyball team, her first collegiate coaching role. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matt-brown57/support

Kevlarbydupont is a fourth level abjuration with a range of touch, a duration of an hour, requires concentration to maintain, and has a material requirement of a pinch of diamond power which the spell consumes.  However, synthetic powder works just as well with less cost. Kevlarbydupont makes the flesh of a living creature resistant to cutting and piercing while still being sensitive and flexible. Discovered in 1965 in Delaware by Stephanie Kwolek, the spell has become a staple in manufacturing and law enforcement.  When used with the spell Aakasmikata (uh-cause-mit-kuh), today's spell will activate the instant the skin is touched.  Kevarbydupont is fast enough to stop a bullet and save a saw operator from losing a finger.  Researches found that the spell is slightly less effective when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light, but the effect is not noticeable.  The spell does not protect against heat, and should the skin be exposed to a temperature above 350 degrees, the spell will fail.  If you watch the whitewater slalom event during the Summer Olympics, you will see each athlete cast Kevlarbydupont as it has been a safety requirement since the readoption of the sport in 1992.

The Wicker Man is a 1973 British folk horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Big Chris Lee. In his 7th appearance on The General Witchfinders. The screenplay by Anthony (frenzy) Shaffer, inspired by David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual, centres on the visit of Police Sergeant Neil Howie to the isolated island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism.The movie is well-regarded by critics. Film magazine Cinefantastique described it as "The Citizen Kane of horror movies", and in 2004, Total Film magazine named The Wicker Man the sixth greatest British film of all time, and during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony the film was included as part of a sequence that celebrated British cinema.In 1989, Shaffer wrote a script treatment for The Loathsome Lambton Worm, a direct sequel with fantasy elements. Hardy had no interest in the project, and it was never produced. In 2006, an ill-received American remake was released, from which Hardy and others involved with the original have dissociated themselves. In 2011, a spiritual sequel directed by Hardy entitled The Wicker Tree, was released and featured Lee in a cameo appearance.Television actor Edward Woodward was cast in the role of Sergeant Neil Howie after the part was declined by both Michael York and David Hemmings. In Britain, Woodward was best known for the role of Callan, which he played from 1967 to 1972. After The Wicker Man, Woodward went on to receive international attention for his roles in the 1980 film Breaker Morant and the 1980s TV series The Equalizer.The film was produced at a time of crisis for the British film industry. The studio in charge of production, British Lion Films, was in financial trouble and was bought by wealthy businessman John Bentley. To convince the unions that he was not about to asset-strip the company, Bentley needed to get a film into production quickly. This meant that The Wicker Man, a film set during spring, actually began filming in October 1972: artificial leaves and blossoms had to be glued to trees in many scenes. The production was kept on a small budget. Christopher Lee was extremely keen to get the film made; he and others worked on the production without pay,(Something he seems very keen to mention at every opportunity). While filming took place, British Lion was bought by EMI Films.Iron Maiden released a single called The Wicker Man from their Brave New World album in tribute to the classic film.$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$ Just in case anyone has too much money and wants to give a bit to us to help with our hosting n stuff.

On Episode 14 of the Stroke Alert Podcast, host Dr. Negar Asdaghi highlights two articles from the March 2022 issue of Stroke: “Natural Course of Cerebral Cavernous Malformations in Children” and “Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin in Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (ACTION-CVT).” She also interviews Dr. Mohammad Anadani about his article “Magnitude of Blood Pressure Change After Endovascular Therapy and Outcomes.” Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        1) Are direct oral anticoagulants a reasonable alternative to warfarin for treatments of patients with cerebral venous thrombosis? 2) What are the predictors of first and recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with cerebral cavernous malformation? 3) Is there an optimal blood pressure target after successful endovascular thrombectomy? We have the answers and much more in today's podcast. This is the latest in Stroke. Stay with us. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Welcome to another incredibly informing Stroke Alert Podcast. My name is Negar Asdaghi. I'm an Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and your host for the monthly Stroke Alert Podcast. The March 2022 issue of Stroke includes a number of papers published in conjunction with their oral presentation at the International Stroke Conference in New Orleans, from contemporary trends in the nationwide incidence of primary intracerebral hemorrhage, to disparities in Internet use among U.S. stroke survivors' implication for telerehabilitation during COVID-19 and beyond. I encourage you to review these timely topics in addition to listening to our podcast today. Later, in our interview section, I discussed the optimal blood pressure goal after endovascular therapy and the results of a subgroup analysis of the BP-TARGET randomized trials with Dr. Mohammad Anadani from the Department of Neurology at Washington University in St. Louis. But first with these two articles. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Cerebral cavernous malformations, also referred to as cavernous angiomas, cavernomas, cav mals, or CCMs, are angiographically occult, low flow, vascular lesions with no large arterial inflow or venous outflow vessels. These are clusters of dilated sinusoidal vascular channels that are aligned by a single layer of endothelium without the normal surrounding vascular smooth muscles, and they lack the normal tight junctions between their endothelial cells. Cavernomas can be found in both children and adults. So, the question is, how do these lesions present, especially in children, and what is their natural course? Now, before we answer these questions, let's review a few important points about cavernomas and what is known about these lesions in the literature. Number one, cavernomas are acquired lesions. Although initially thought to be congenital, they're now known to be acquired as comparing by many reports of patients with normal MRI findings, who later developed a CCM. Number two, they're not always benign. While most of them can have a benign course, cerebral cavernomas can be a cause for headaches, seizure disorders and intracerebral hemorrhage, which is, of course, their most feared complication. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Number three, though CCMs are rare vascular disorders with a prevalence of 0.6% in children and young adults, about a quarter of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of cerebral cavernous malformation are under the age of 18. And number four and finally, data seem to suggest that the risk of hemorrhage is potentially higher in the pediatric population than their adult counterparts. So, determining the natural course of CCMs and predictors of intracerebral hemorrhage is important for all patients, but especially important in the pediatric population. Now, in the current issue of the journal, in the paper titled "Natural Course of Cerebral Cavernous Malformations in Children: A Five-Year Follow-Up Study," a German group of investigators led by Dr. Alejandro Santos from the Department of Neurosurgery and Spine Surgery at University Hospital in Essen and colleagues studied the clinical presentation and predictors of intracerebral hemorrhage in their pediatric population over a 17-year study period. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, they identified 129 patients with a diagnosis of cerebral cavernous malformation that had baseline MRI imaging completed and at least one or more follow-ups during the study period. Now, some of these patients were treated surgically and some conservatively in the study. The mean age of their study was 10, and over 50% of their study population was male. Developmental venous anomalies, or DVAs, were detected in 15% of their study population, and 20% had brain stem cavernoma localization. Now, importantly, half of these kids, so that's 55.8% of their study population, presented with an intracerebral hemorrhage, and that's how their cavernomas were diagnosed. So, what were their top three findings? Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Number one, on the comparison of conservatively treated patients to those treated surgically, which was 37% of their cohort, they found that overall these two groups had comparable clinical characteristics and demographics with regards to sex, age, multiplicity of cavernomas, brain stem location, and family history of their lesions. But not surprisingly, those who were surgically treated were more likely to have presented with an intracerebral hemorrhage and less likely to be asymptomatic, meaning that their cavernoma was not an incidental finding as compared to those who were conservatively treated. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Number two, when they looked at predictors of presentation with intracerebral hemorrhage, they found that family history of cavernomas and brain stem cavernomas were significant predictors of presenting intracerebral hemorrhage. Number three, when they excluded those who underwent surgery, the annual risk of hemorrhage for the overall untreated participants was 4.1%. However, we should note that this rate significantly varied based on certain characteristics of the patients. The risk of hemorrhage, or rather the risk of re-hemorrhage, was double this baseline, that is 8.1%, for those cavernomas that presented with a bleed at presentation. The annual rate of hemorrhage was equally high at 7.1% for brain stem cavernomas, and then this rate gradually declined for familial form cavernomas at 6.2% annual risk of hemorrhage and multiple cavernomas at 4.8%. And it went all the way down to 0.4% annual risk of hemorrhage for asymptomatic incidentally found cerebral cavernomas. So, in the multivariate analysis, presentation with an ICH remained an independent predictor of re-hemorrhage and cavernomas with a high hazard ratio of 14. That is 14-fold higher risk of hemorrhage in cavernomas that present with a bleed as compared to those that did not. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Now, finally, on the association between DVAs and risk of hemorrhage, this study showed a possible reduced risk of hemorrhage in cavernomas that had associated DVAs, but this was not a statistically significant association. It is important to note that this finding is in keeping with the published studies in the adult population, but in contrast to the previously published data in the pediatric population. So, this association between presence of a developmental venous anomaly and cavernomas and the risk of subsequent hemorrhage needs to be furthered studied. So, what did we learn from this study? Pediatric patients with brain stem cavernomas and familial cavernomas have a higher risk of intracerebral hemorrhage as mode of presentation. The risk of re-hemorrhage is 14 times higher in cavernomas that present with an ICH as compared to cavernomas that did not bleed. And the probability of bleed tends to increase over time. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, or CVST, refers to thrombosis in the dural venous sinuses, cortical veins, deep cerebral veins, or a combination of these venous structures. CVST is an uncommon cause of stroke accounting for overall 1% of all strokes and can cause venous ischemic infarcts or intracerebral hemorrhage and importantly has a high morbidity and mortality if unrecognized and left untreated. Anticoagulation is generally the mainstay of therapy for CVST, which needs to be initiated as soon as possible, even in the presence of hemorrhage in the brain. The data regarding the choice of anticoagulation in CVST is generally extrapolated from randomized studies completed in patients with systemic venous thromboembolism, so conditions such as pulmonary emboli or deep venous thrombosis, and indicate that direct oral anticoagulants, or DOACs, are viable alternatives to traditional warfarin therapy in this patient population. This question was specifically studied in the RESPECT-CVT trial, which was a small European randomized trial that included 120 patients with cerebral vein thrombosis, randomized to either receiving dose adjusted warfarin or dabigatran at 150 milligram BID. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        The results of the study was published in JAMA Neurology in 2019 and showed that CVST patients treated with either dabigatran or warfarin were at low risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism, and they also showed a comparable safety profile in terms of risk of hemorrhage or mortality in patients treated with DOAC as compared to warfarin. But how do DOACs perform as compared to warfarin in routine practice is unknown. So, in this issue of the journal, in the study titled, "Direct Oral Anticoagulants Versus Warfarin in Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (ACTION-CVT): A Multicenter International Study," the ACTION-CVT investigators, led by Dr. Shadi Yaghi from the Department of Neurology at Brown University, aimed to compare the safety profile of DOACs to that of warfarin, in a multicenter international study that included 1025 imaging-confirmed CVST patients from multiple centers in the United States, Italy, Switzerland, and New Zealand. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        They had a number of exclusion criteria for this study, excluding patients with active cancer, those with a confirmed history of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and those who were not treated with an oral anticoagulant. And after excluding these patients, it gave them their study sample of 845 CVST patients. So, what were their main findings? Number one, in keeping with a prior literature on CVST, these patients were young, their mean age was 44, and majority of them were women, so that was 67% of their cohort. And they found that a third of these patients were actually treated with a DOAC, and, in addition, another 15% received a DOAC at some times during their treatment course. Finding number two, the most common DOAC used in this population was apixaban, that was 66% of cases treated with a direct oral anticoagulant, followed by rivaroxaban in 18% of cases, and then dabigatran used in 13.5% of DOAC-treated cases. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Important finding number three. A total of 27 patients had recurrent CVST, which also included patients with progression of their cerebral vein thrombosis on follow-up vascular imaging, and 17 patients had recurrent venous thromboembolism, and two had both. So, during their mean follow-up of 345 days, they had the rate of 5.68 recurrent venous thrombosis per 100 patient years. These rates were not different for DOAC-treated versus warfarin-treated patients in both unadjusted and adjusted models. Now, very important finding number four. When they looked at the rate of recanalization on follow-up imaging, for those in whom this information was available, partial or complete recanalization occurred in 86% of DOAC-treated patients versus 84% of warfarin-treated patients. This was not a statistically significant difference in the unadjusted or the adjusted models. Recanalization is, of course, an important determinant of outcomes in CVST and should be noted that recanalization is, of course, an important determinant of outcomes in CVST since persistent thrombosis through chronic raised ICP can potentially lead to a variety of neurological morbidities, such as chronic headache, chronic papilledema and increased risk of development of dural AV fistulas. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Now, finally, in terms of safety profile, they had 31 hemorrhages, 23 intracranial, majority were symptomatic and 9 extracranial hemorrhages. The hazard ratio for hemorrhage or death was similar for DOAC- and warfarin-treated patients, again in the unadjusted and adjusted models. So, bottom line, in this large international cohort of patients with CVST treated with an oral anticoagulant in routine practice, patients treated with DOACs had similar clinical and radiographic outcomes and had a similar favorable safety profile when compared to those treated with warfarin. So, we stay tuned for the results of the ongoing randomized trials on this subject. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        What is the optimal blood pressure target after endovascular therapy? This is a commonly encountered question in routine clinical practice with a not-so-straightforward and easy answer. After a successful endovascular treatment, high systolic blood pressure targets are thought to be associated with increased risk of reperfusion injury and development of intraparenchymal hemorrhage, leading to worsening of clinical outcomes. Conversely, low blood pressure targets may worsen the ischemic penumbra, especially in the setting of incomplete perfusion. The current stroke guidelines recommendations regarding blood pressure control after endovascular treatment are mostly extrapolated from the post-thrombolysis studies. The BP-TARGET trial was a recently completed randomized study in France that aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of intensive blood pressure lowering, that is systolic blood pressure of less than 130, as compared to standard of care, that is systolic blood pressure between 130 to 185, after successful endovascular therapy in acute ischemic stroke. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        This was a neutral study, and the main results of the trial was published in early 2021 in Lancet Neurology. And if you missed it, well, as always, we're here with the Stroke Alert Podcast to fill in the gaps. So, we'll review the trial results with our podcast guest today, Dr. Mohammad Anadani, from the Department of Neurology at Washington University in St. Louis, who's also the first author of a paper in the current issue of the journal titled "Magnitude of Blood Pressure Change After Endovascular Therapy and Outcomes: Insight From the Blood Pressure-TARGET Trial." This was a post hoc analysis of the BP-TARGET trial, looking at the extent of blood pressure reduction and its implications of clinical outcomes. Welcome, Mohammad, thank you for joining us on the podcast today. Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure to be here with you today. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Thank you. So, blood pressure control is a really simple and yet extremely complicated topic when it comes to the collateral support before reperfusion therapies, and then, of course, the possibility of reperfusion injury post-thrombectomy in the setting of an ischemic stroke related to a large vessel occlusion. Can you please give our listeners an overview of the topic of blood pressure control in this setting? Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            Yes, absolutely. I totally agree. The topic of blood pressure control after, in patients with large vessel occlusion, is very complicated. And when we talk about blood pressure control, I think we should differentiate between pre-recanalization and post-recanalization. In the pre-recanalization period, the main focus should be to maintain adequate perfusion to ischemic penumbra to prevent infarct expansion. So, there is consensus that hypotension should be avoided at all costs pre-recanalization. When it comes to the post-reperfusion, here it gets a little bit more complicated. We do have a large body of evidence, as you mentioned, for the association between high blood pressure in the post-reperfusion period and the risk of poor outcome. What we don't know yet is if active reduction of blood pressure after reperfusion is beneficial. And that's why, as you mention, the American Heart Association guidelines just recommend a systolic blood pressure less than 180, just because of the lack of data to support the benefit of blood pressure reduction. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Perfect. So, this was definitely the topic that the BP-TARGET trial set out to investigate. What is the optimal blood pressure target after successful revascularization therapy? Can you please tell us a little bit about the trial, the design and the inclusion criteria? Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            The Blood Pressure-TARGET trial, or BP-TARGET trial, aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of intensive blood pressure lowering treatment. The trial enrolled patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion, that is M1 or ICA occlusion, or tandem occlusion, which is both M1 and ICA occlusion. The patients who were treated with endovascular therapy and achieved successful reperfusion, and they defined successful reperfusion as modified treatment cerebral ischemia 2b to 3. And then after enrollment, the patients were randomized in one-to-one ratio into intensive blood pressure control, which is systolic blood pressure less than 130, and standard blood pressure control, which is systolic blood pressure less than 185. Now, these two cutoffs came in from some evidence that systolic blood pressure less than 130 is beneficial in these patients or this is the optimal cutoff for patients with successful reperfusion. For the standard group, the design of the trial, at the time of the design of the trial, that was the standard or recommended European guidelines, blood pressure group. And the study was conducted in France between June 2017 and September 2019. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Thank you, Mohammad. So, I want to recap for our listeners, we're looking at a French study that was conducted in four centers, in France. And it's a very recent study, recently completed. The whole thing was completed over the past five years. So, very interesting because it's applicable to our current treatment models. And these were patients with a large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation that had undergone thrombectomy. All have achieved a successful revascularization, as you defined, TICI 2b or C or TICI 3, and then they were randomized to either standard of care in terms of post-thrombectomy blood pressure control or the intensive group, which was under systolic blood pressure of 130. Did I recap that correctly? Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            Correct. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Perfect. So, now we're ready for the primary outcome. So, what was the primary outcome of the trial? Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            The primary outcome was any radiographic intraparenchymal hemorrhage that was seen on CT within 24 hours to 36 hours after successful reperfusion. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        This is interesting, Mohammad, this is a different primary outcome than we're used to in a usual randomized trial that commonly uses a modified Rankin scale of usually at 90 days. Do you have any insight as to why a radiographic outcome was chosen for this particular study, and obviously what would be fine as part of the trial? Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            Yes. So, the main reason why the study investigator chose this as a primary outcome was because really the benefit of, or at least what is thought to be the benefit from systolic blood pressure reduction, is to lower intraparenchymal hemorrhage or the risk of intraparenchymal hemorrhage. So, to assist the efficacy of this intensive blood pressure lowering, the first thing we expect to see is lower intraparenchymal hemorrhage. So, when you have your target as intraparenchymal hemorrhage, it truly requires much smaller sample size than having functional outcome as the primary outcome. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Okay, perfect. And I think we're ready to hear the results for the main BP-TARGET trial. Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            The results of the trial were disappointing for people who were interested in this topic. The primary outcome, which, again, was an intraparenchymal hemorrhage, occurred in 42% of patient intensive arm and 43% of patient the standard arm. And there was no difference in the risk of intraparenchymal hemorrhage between the two groups. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Well, I think you can phrase it as disappointing, or more room to understand the pathophysiology and also onto bigger and better trials. And so I want to now move on the current paper in this issue of the journal, which is a post hoc analysis of the trial. Can you tell us a little more about your study? Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            In our study, we wanted to study the blood pressure as dynamic target. So, we wanted to see if there is any association between blood pressure change from baseline with the functional and safety outcome after endovascular therapy. And also we wanted to understand the shape of the association. In other words, to see, is there a point after which the blood pressure reduction becomes helpful? So, to do that, we did this post hoc analysis of the BP-TARGET trial, and we only enrolled patients who had more than 50% of planned blood pressure measurements. And then we defined systolic blood pressure change as the difference in the mean achieved blood pressure in three different time points: zero to one hour, one to six hours, and six to 24 hours minus the baseline systolic blood pressure. And here we considered the end-of-procedure blood pressure as the baseline systolic blood pressure. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        All right. So, I want to recap what you mentioned before we hear what you found in the study. So, really, blood pressure, as you noted, is a dynamic factor. It's not just a target, but other words, is how fast you're reducing it, in what timeframe after endovascular thrombectomy, and also how much. So, as an example, as we were discussing this earlier, before we did the podcast recording, is if you started a systolic blood pressure at 190 and then reduced that patient quickly to 130, is that the same as if starting blood pressure was 150, and then you reduce it to, again, 130? So, delta, or the magnitude of change in blood pressure, and also time intervals, that how long after thrombectomy you were able to reduce that blood pressure, are all important factors in terms of determining the outcome. That's a nice summary of what this current study aimed to do. Perfect. So, with that, we're ready to hear the results of your study. Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            We included 267 patients, 137 in the intensive arm and 130 patients in the standard arm. And then, when we compared patients who had poor outcome at 90 days to patients who had good outcome at 90 days, we found that the patient who had poor outcome had less systolic pressure reduction, meaning these patients had less systolic pressure reduction compared to the baseline than the patient who had good outcome. And then, when we controlled for other confounders, their association remained significant, especially for the one- to six-hour period and six- to 24-hour period. And the same results were when we had our outcome as intraparenchymal hemorrhage, we found the same results. The patient who had intraparenchymal hemorrhage had less systolic blood pressure reduction than patients who did not have intraparenchymal hemorrhage. And, again, the association remained significant even after we adjusted for possible confounders, like age, the degree of recanalization, and the stroke severity. Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            And then we wanted to see, if we looked at the blood pressure change as categorical variable, meaning we want to see if there is a difference between large systolic blood pressure reduction compared to minimum or no systolic blood pressure reduction. So, we divided the systolic blood pressure reduction into three categories: the minimal, which was just zero to 10 systolic blood pressure reduction; the moderate, which was 10 to 20; and large, which was more than 20 millimeter mercury systolic blood pressure reduction. And when we looked at that, a patient who had more than 20 millimeter mercury systolic blood pressure reduction had significantly lower risk of poor outcome than patients who had no systolic blood pressure reduction or just minimal systolic blood pressure reduction. And the difference was striking. There were the patients who had more than 20 systolic blood pressure reduction, they had almost 62% lower risk or lower odds of having poor outcome than a patient who did not have significant systolic blood pressure reduction. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        These are some very interesting findings. Let me try and to summarize this for our listeners and make sure that I understood the study results correctly. So, in other words, if we had a patient that at the end of a successful revascularization treatment, say, had a systolic blood pressure of 150, and that was reduced to 140, so there's a 10 millimeter mercury difference, that patient, in this particular study, had a higher risk for development of intracerebral hemorrhage than the person that finished at 180, so finished endovascular therapy at 180 millimeter of mercury. But then with rapid reduction, we dropped the blood pressure to, say, for example, 140, so that 40 millimeter of mercury of reduction carried a higher weight or higher impact on reduction of intracerebral hemorrhage than the absolute target of blood pressure, because your results did not look at which category were these patients under, were they under intensive category or standard, but they looked at just the magnitude of that drop, which showed a bigger implication on effective blood pressure reduction on outcomes. Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            Yeah, that is correct. Now, the primary outcome for our study and really what we want to look at here is the functional outcome, more than the intraparenchymal hemorrhage. And, like you said, if we have, let's say, patients who started with 160 and they dropped to 120 or started with 180 and they dropped to 150, these patients had better functional outcome than patients who started, let's say, with 160 and remained 160 or even their blood pressure increased after reperfusion. We did not look at absolute numbers, but we did look at if the patients were presented, let's say, above 180 or patient presented less than 180, and both of these patients had the same, or both of these groups had the same results, meaning systolic blood pressure seems to be beneficial for both of these patients. And also we looked at the patients who were in the standard arm or in the patients who were in the intensive arm, also both of them have the same results. The systolic blood pressure reduction remained associated with poor outcome. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Mohammad, the current American Heart Association guidelines and also the European stroke guidelines both recommend a target systolic blood pressure of under 180 or 185 after successful recanalization. What do you think the optimal target blood pressure should be based on BP-TARGET trial and based on your post hoc analysis? Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            Yeah, that's a difficult question. We learn from the BP-TARGET trial, that's lowering systolic blood pressure is safe. And our study added to that, that significant reduction, especially in the first hour after reperfusion therapy, may be beneficial because patient had lower risk of poor outcome. However, I don't think we will have a one number that we will be able to say, this is the optimal blood pressure that fits all patients. I think the optimal blood pressure needs to be tailored to individual patient based on their admission blood pressure, based on their comorbidities, and also based on the degree of reperfusion. I don't think patients who have TICI 2b, for example, should be treated exactly the same as patients who had TICI 3. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, a lot still to come on this topic, and we are still learning. So, on that topic, can you tell us a little bit about the currently ongoing randomized trials on the topic of blood pressure controlled post-thrombectomy? Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            Yes. I think there are three main trials that are ongoing now and trying to assess the safety and efficacy also of intensive blood pressure reduction. The first trial is the Second Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombectomy Stroke Study, or ENCHANTED2 study. And this study is being conducted now in China. And it's comparing systolic blood pressure less than 120 target to systolic blood pressure less than 180. And the study has the primary outcome here, is the shift in mRS score at 90 days. The study is estimated to be completed in 2023, so, hopefully next year, we will have some results. The second study is the Outcome in Patients Treated With Intraarterial Thrombectomy - optiMAL Blood Pressure Control, or OPTIMAL-BP. And this study is being conducted in South Korea, and it's comparing systolic blood pressure target of less than 140 to systolic blood pressure target of less than 180. Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            And the primary outcomes of this study are mRS zero to two at 90 days and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The study here is estimated to be completed in 2024. And the last trial is the Blood Pressure After Endovascular Stroke Therapy-II, or the BEST-II trial. And this is being conducted here in the U.S. and comparing three different blood pressure cohorts: less than 160 and less than 140 as the experimental group to less than 180 as the standard group. And the primary outcome of this study is final infarct volume. And also the co-primary outcome is utility-weighted mRS at 90 days. And this study is estimated to be completed next year, in 2023. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        So, a diverse group of randomized trials from Korea, China, and the United States. Hopefully, we'll have a lot more answers in the next two years then on this topic. So, just the last few minutes of our recording here. Mohammad, can you please summarize for our listeners, what should be our top two takeaway messages from your study and what we know from collectively in the field on the topic of blood pressure control post-thrombectomy? Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            I think the main home message that one, we found a leaner association between blood pressure change after endovascular therapy and poor functional outcome, and two, effective and significant systolic blood pressure reduction, which we defined in our study as a more than 20 millimeter mercury in the first hour after endovascular therapy, is potentially beneficial, and these patients had significantly lower risk of poor outcome than the patient who did not have significant blood pressure reduction. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Thank you so much, Dr. Mohammad Anadani. Thank you for joining on the podcast today, and we look forward to having you back and covering more of your work in the future. Dr. Mohammad Anadani:            Thank you for having me, and I look forward to learning more about the Stroke studies from your podcast. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Thank you. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        And this concludes our podcast for the March 2022 issue of Stroke. Please be sure to check out this month's table of contents for the full list of publications, including a series of Focused Updates on the topic of health equity and reduction of disparities in stroke, organized by Dr. Bruce Ovbiagele. It's hard to believe that we're already in March, and coming off the heels of one of our largest cerebrovascular annual meetings, the International Stroke Conference, which coincidentally concurrently happened with one of the biggest sports events of the year, the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Now, what do these two very different events have in common? Well, I think they both represent the extraordinary stories of talent and grit on the world stage. So, let's end our Stroke podcast with an inspirational story of the Olympian swimmer Yusra Mardini. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        In August 2015, after her family home was invaded and destroyed in the Syrian civil war, the 17-year-old Yusra and her sister, Sarah, fled Syria to Beirut, Istanbul, and finally İzmir, in Turkey, where they managed to squeeze onto a dingey crossing the Mediterranean to the Greek island of Lesbos. Carrying 20 people, rather than just six or seven, they found their boat sinking less than 30 minutes into their journey. Yusra, Sara, and another woman were the only ones on board who knew how to swim. Fighting for their life and that of the other refugees on board, they would swim the cold open water of the heavy seas for three and a half hours before reaching the shore. Less than a year later, Yusra became one of the top 10 athletes worldwide to qualify and compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics, as part of the first refugee Olympic athletes team. She won the opening heat of women 100-meter butterfly race, but did not make it to the podium in the Olympic Games. And that is, of course, only part of her story. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:                        Very much like the story of many scientists, doctors, engineers, and staff who make the international stroke meeting possible. Many stories are not celebrated on a podium, but nevertheless are the essence of the success of our stroke community. So, wherever you are in the field of neurosciences, whatever the challenge, and however cold the waters, know that while we don't share the same border, the same flag, or even a common language, together we push the field of cerebrovascular disorders forward. And, as always, we stay alert with Stroke Alert. Dr. Negar Asdaghi:         This program is copyright of the American Heart Association, 2022.

  The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-474 – Frank Shorter  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4474.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Chris' other show à Intro: Hello my long suffering friends.  How are you?  Well it's been a busy two weeks since the last time we chatted.  And I truly missed.  I get lonely.  I worry.  Where have you been?  How do we know you're not dead in a ditch? Today I'm going to mess with the format again.  I managed to write a really funny piece about varmints that I'm going to perform for you, but it came out at 2000 + words so I'm going to push that after the interview, skip section one and use the intro here to talk about our guest. Frank Shorter.  Yes that Frank Shorter.  It was one of those interviews where I was hopelessly overwhelmed by content and just did my best to touch on a couple fun things with him.  But, the rich tapestry of Frank's life does not fit easily into a 20 minute conversation – so I'm going to fill in some of the blanks here. Frank was born, ironically in Munich Germany, where he would eventually return to win the Gold Medal in the marathon at the 1972 Olympics.  His Father was a physician in the army.  Frank grew up in a troubled home in upstate New York.  He started running to get away from an abusive father.  Running gave him the freedom we all know and love.  To get him away from his father, his mother arranged to have him sent to a prep school in Massachusetts where he was given the space to expand his running talents.  He went on to run at Yale for his undergraduate and won a number of NCAA titles.  He moved on to Gainesville Florida to study for his law degree – all the while training and racing at an elite level.  The thing about Franks journey in the 70's was that he showed up at all the marathon runner hotspots with all the legends.  He trained with that famous Florida track club with Jeff Galloway and crew.  He was in Oregon with Prefontaine.  Frank taught Steve how to Ski.  Frank was with Steve before he was killed.  Frank won the elite Fukuoka Marathon . He was the #1 ranked marathon runner in the USA for 5 straight years and in the world for 3. He won the gold medal at the Munich Olympics in 1972.  You may not remember 1972, but this was the Olympics where the world learned about terrorism.  A crew of Palestinians broke into athlete's village and held the Israeli Olympic team hostage, murdering some of them. Frank was sleeping on the balcony and heard the gunshots.  Coming full circle, Frank was right there on Boylston Street in Boston in 2013 when the bombs went off.  He won the silver medal in the 1976 games losing to an unknow East German athlete, who most likely was a drug cheat.  Frank has become instrumental in removing drugs from the Olympics – a battle that still rages. Through all this he trained himself with an uncanny mixture of speedwork and volume.  He managed to stay healthy and race across 100+ mile weeks for a decade.  Frank eventually ended up in Boulder where he was the founder of the iconic Boulder Boulder race.  He's an amazing athlete, a humble, kind and generous guy and I'm sure I'll be talking to him again. He even has an IMDB page for his roles in several movies!  Great guy, full life, enjoyed meeting him.  … What's going on in my world?  I'm still training for the Flying Pig in May.  My knee is still a mess, but I'm enjoying when I can. I try to get Ollie out, but the weather has been horrific and I'm at the point in my life where I see less and less merit in unnecessary misery. Hey – a quick heads up – did you see Steve Runner is podcasting again?  Yeah – Pheddipidations is back from the dead.  And it's not the angry political Steve.  It's the old runner Steve.  Give it a resubscribe and listen.  It's good to hear his rational voice. I did manage to get a couple of great training runs out in the woods.  We got a cold snap right after a heavy snow. With the pandemic traffic in my woods the trail was packed down and hard and great for running.  I got out and it was great.  I remembered some of the joy I used to feel being out alone in the woods with the dog.  The cold, crisp air and the packed trail.  Really good. I've been getting beaten up fairly well with my new role at work.  But I'm liking it.  I just focus on blocking the time and doing the work.  I'm at a point in my career where I don't have to worry about failure and that frees me up to be creative.  Makes the work an ecstasy versus a chore. And that's the secret, my friends.  Remember the gift. On with the show. About Zero ZERO — The End of Prostate Cancer is the leading national nonprofit with the mission to end prostate cancer.

He won his first U.S. national titles in 1970 in the three mile and six mile events. He also was the U.S. national six mile/10,000 meter champion in 1971, 1974, 1975 and 1977.   After graduating from Yale, Shorter chose to pursue a Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of New Mexico. However, he dropped out after six weeks after classes began to impact his training regime. Soon, he moved to Florida to study for a Juris Doctor degree at the University of Florida in Gainesville because of the excellence of the environment and the opportunity to train with Jack Bacheler as members of the Florida Track Club (FTC), founded by Jimmy Carnes, then the head coach of the Florida Gators track and field team.[10] Bacheler was regarded as America's best distance runner, having qualified for the finals of the 5,000-meter race at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.[11] The FTC's core nucleus of Shorter, Bacheler and Jeff Galloway qualified for the 1972 Olympics and their success made Gainesville the Mecca of distance running on the East Coast in the early 1970s.[12]   Shorter won the U.S. national cross-country championships four times (1970–1973). He was the U.S. Olympic Trials champion in both the 10,000-meter run and the marathon in both 1972 and 1976. He also won both the 10,000-meter run and the marathon at the 1971 Pan American Games. Shorter was a four-time winner of the Fukuoka Marathon (1971–1974), generally recognized as the most prestigious marathon in the world at that time and held on a very fast course. His career best of 2:10:30 was set at that race on December 3, 1972. Several months later, on March 18, 1973, Shorter won the elite Lake Biwa Marathon in 2:12:03. He won the prestigious 7-mile Falmouth Road Race on Cape Cod in 1975 and 1976 and Atlanta's 10-kilometer Peachtree Road Race in 1977.   Shorter achieved his greatest recognition in the marathon, and he is the only American athlete to win two medals in the Olympic marathon.[13] At the Munich Games—which coincidentally is Shorter's place of birth— he finished fifth in the 10,000-meter final, breaking the American record for the event that he had established in his qualifying heat.[8] A few days later, he won the gold medal in the marathon. This ultimate achievement was marred by an impostor, West German student Norbert Sudhaus,[14] who ran into Olympic Stadium ahead of Shorter. Shorter was not bothered by the silence from the crowd who had been duped into thinking that he was running for the silver medal. Shorter was confident that he was going to win the gold medal because he knew that no competing runner had passed him.[15] He received the James E. Sullivan Award afterwards as the top amateur athlete in the United States.[8] At the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Shorter dropped out of the 10,000 meters in order to concentrate exclusively on the marathon, winning the silver medal in the marathon[8] and finishing behind previously unheralded Waldemar Cierpinski of East Germany.[16] Cierpinski was later implicated as a part of the state-sponsored doping program by East German track and field research files uncovered by Werner Franke at the Stasi headquarters in Leipzig in the late 1990s. There were suspicions about other East German athletes during the Montreal Olympics, including the East German women's swimming team led by Kornelia Ender; the East German women won eleven of the thirteen events.[17]   From 2000 to 2003, Shorter was the chairman of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, a body that he helped to establish.[18]   Shorter was featured as a prominent character, played by Jeremy Sisto, in the 1998 film Without Limits. The film follows the life of Shorter's contemporary, training partner, Olympic teammate and sometime rival, Steve Prefontaine.[18] Shorter was the next to last person to see Prefontaine alive before he died in an automobile accident.   Shorter was inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame in 1984, the USA National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1989,[8] and the National Distance Running Hall of Fame in 1998.   A long-time resident of Boulder, Colorado, Shorter co-founded the Bolder Boulder in 1979. The annual 10k race is a popular Memorial Day event, which culminates with a tribute to U.S. Armed Forces at Folsom Field at the University of Colorado.

I have been having a lot of trouble finding the time and inspiration to write and produce this show.  I know it's getting stale, and you deserve better than that.  I'm considering ways to make it less of a lift for me.  Maybe break the sections up into individual, shorter shows that I could drop more frequently.  Maybe find a theme.  Or create multiple short shows from the various themes I cover here.  Then you could pick and choose what you wanted to listen to. We'll see how it goes.  One step at a time. I'm heading down to Dallas tomorrow morning and I just realized it's time change weekend here.  Meaning I'm going to have to roll out of bed at 3:30 AM body-clock time to start a long week with a nice dose of jetlag.  Heard an interesting comment on a call this week.  We were prepping for a executive meeting with one of our customers.  There were two senior executives from our side.  They were talking about a big deal that needed to close at this customer.  One of the Execs said to the other “You need to make it personal.”  That struck me.  After all the professionalism is sorted out every business transaction is personal.  I've always tried to avoid that.  Making business personal. But you can't.  It's personal whether you want it to be or not.  But making it personal allows you to leverage empathy – so it's not necessarily a bad thing.  How about that for a thing to try this week?

  The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-474 – Frank Shorter  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4474.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Chris' other show à Intro: Hello my long suffering friends.  How are you?  Well it's been a busy two weeks since the last time we chatted.  And I truly missed.  I get lonely.  I worry.  Where have you been?  How do we know you're not dead in a ditch? Today I'm going to mess with the format again.  I managed to write a really funny piece about varmints that I'm going to perform for you, but it came out at 2000 + words so I'm going to push that after the interview, skip section one and use the intro here to talk about our guest. Frank Shorter.  Yes that Frank Shorter.  It was one of those interviews where I was hopelessly overwhelmed by content and just did my best to touch on a couple fun things with him.  But, the rich tapestry of Frank's life does not fit easily into a 20 minute conversation – so I'm going to fill in some of the blanks here. Frank was born, ironically in Munich Germany, where he would eventually return to win the Gold Medal in the marathon at the 1972 Olympics.  His Father was a physician in the army.  Frank grew up in a troubled home in upstate New York.  He started running to get away from an abusive father.  Running gave him the freedom we all know and love.  To get him away from his father, his mother arranged to have him sent to a prep school in Massachusetts where he was given the space to expand his running talents.  He went on to run at Yale for his undergraduate and won a number of NCAA titles.  He moved on to Gainesville Florida to study for his law degree – all the while training and racing at an elite level.  The thing about Franks journey in the 70's was that he showed up at all the marathon runner hotspots with all the legends.  He trained with that famous Florida track club with Jeff Galloway and crew.  He was in Oregon with Prefontaine.  Frank taught Steve how to Ski.  Frank was with Steve before he was killed.  Frank won the elite Fukuoka Marathon . He was the #1 ranked marathon runner in the USA for 5 straight years and in the world for 3. He won the gold medal at the Munich Olympics in 1972.  You may not remember 1972, but this was the Olympics where the world learned about terrorism.  A crew of Palestinians broke into athlete's village and held the Israeli Olympic team hostage, murdering some of them. Frank was sleeping on the balcony and heard the gunshots.  Coming full circle, Frank was right there on Boylston Street in Boston in 2013 when the bombs went off.  He won the silver medal in the 1976 games losing to an unknow East German athlete, who most likely was a drug cheat.  Frank has become instrumental in removing drugs from the Olympics – a battle that still rages. Through all this he trained himself with an uncanny mixture of speedwork and volume.  He managed to stay healthy and race across 100+ mile weeks for a decade.  Frank eventually ended up in Boulder where he was the founder of the iconic Boulder Boulder race.  He's an amazing athlete, a humble, kind and generous guy and I'm sure I'll be talking to him again. He even has an IMDB page for his roles in several movies!  Great guy, full life, enjoyed meeting him.  … What's going on in my world?  I'm still training for the Flying Pig in May.  My knee is still a mess, but I'm enjoying when I can. I try to get Ollie out, but the weather has been horrific and I'm at the point in my life where I see less and less merit in unnecessary misery. Hey – a quick heads up – did you see Steve Runner is podcasting again?  Yeah – Pheddipidations is back from the dead.  And it's not the angry political Steve.  It's the old runner Steve.  Give it a resubscribe and listen.  It's good to hear his rational voice. I did manage to get a couple of great training runs out in the woods.  We got a cold snap right after a heavy snow. With the pandemic traffic in my woods the trail was packed down and hard and great for running.  I got out and it was great.  I remembered some of the joy I used to feel being out alone in the woods with the dog.  The cold, crisp air and the packed trail.  Really good. I've been getting beaten up fairly well with my new role at work.  But I'm liking it.  I just focus on blocking the time and doing the work.  I'm at a point in my career where I don't have to worry about failure and that frees me up to be creative.  Makes the work an ecstasy versus a chore. And that's the secret, my friends.  Remember the gift. On with the show. About Zero ZERO — The End of Prostate Cancer is the leading national nonprofit with the mission to end prostate cancer.

He won his first U.S. national titles in 1970 in the three mile and six mile events. He also was the U.S. national six mile/10,000 meter champion in 1971, 1974, 1975 and 1977.   After graduating from Yale, Shorter chose to pursue a Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of New Mexico. However, he dropped out after six weeks after classes began to impact his training regime. Soon, he moved to Florida to study for a Juris Doctor degree at the University of Florida in Gainesville because of the excellence of the environment and the opportunity to train with Jack Bacheler as members of the Florida Track Club (FTC), founded by Jimmy Carnes, then the head coach of the Florida Gators track and field team.[10] Bacheler was regarded as America's best distance runner, having qualified for the finals of the 5,000-meter race at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.[11] The FTC's core nucleus of Shorter, Bacheler and Jeff Galloway qualified for the 1972 Olympics and their success made Gainesville the Mecca of distance running on the East Coast in the early 1970s.[12]   Shorter won the U.S. national cross-country championships four times (1970–1973). He was the U.S. Olympic Trials champion in both the 10,000-meter run and the marathon in both 1972 and 1976. He also won both the 10,000-meter run and the marathon at the 1971 Pan American Games. Shorter was a four-time winner of the Fukuoka Marathon (1971–1974), generally recognized as the most prestigious marathon in the world at that time and held on a very fast course. His career best of 2:10:30 was set at that race on December 3, 1972. Several months later, on March 18, 1973, Shorter won the elite Lake Biwa Marathon in 2:12:03. He won the prestigious 7-mile Falmouth Road Race on Cape Cod in 1975 and 1976 and Atlanta's 10-kilometer Peachtree Road Race in 1977.   Shorter achieved his greatest recognition in the marathon, and he is the only American athlete to win two medals in the Olympic marathon.[13] At the Munich Games—which coincidentally is Shorter's place of birth— he finished fifth in the 10,000-meter final, breaking the American record for the event that he had established in his qualifying heat.[8] A few days later, he won the gold medal in the marathon. This ultimate achievement was marred by an impostor, West German student Norbert Sudhaus,[14] who ran into Olympic Stadium ahead of Shorter. Shorter was not bothered by the silence from the crowd who had been duped into thinking that he was running for the silver medal. Shorter was confident that he was going to win the gold medal because he knew that no competing runner had passed him.[15] He received the James E. Sullivan Award afterwards as the top amateur athlete in the United States.[8] At the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Shorter dropped out of the 10,000 meters in order to concentrate exclusively on the marathon, winning the silver medal in the marathon[8] and finishing behind previously unheralded Waldemar Cierpinski of East Germany.[16] Cierpinski was later implicated as a part of the state-sponsored doping program by East German track and field research files uncovered by Werner Franke at the Stasi headquarters in Leipzig in the late 1990s.

Today's ID the Future spotlights a Bristol University engineer whose design work helped Great Britain's cycling team win gold in the most recent Summer Olympics. Stuart Burgess, currently on a visiting fellowship at the University of Cambridge and an expert on linkage mechanisms, discusses with host Eric Anderson how top engineering firms are paying big money to learn from the extraordinary designs found in biology so as to improve their own designs. Burgess has designed groundbreaking linkage mechanisms, but he says the human knee is still well ahead of what even the most advanced human engineers have managed in this area, even accounting for the fact that wear and tear and misuse can lead to knee problems.
