Despite countless accolades, Linden wanted her final pro marathon to be about the competition, not a farewell tour that could get in the way of her goal of “leaving it all out there one last time.” A few weeks before her final 26.2, Linden shared how her identity as a pro marathoner is evolving and what may come next – a process that is not easy or straightforward, especially if you’ve been defined by one job for nearly half your life. “It’s time, it’s necessary. I want this to be my last Boston because I want to give it everything,” said Linden. “I want to get to the finish and be like, I suffered all day and never took the easy way out. The end point gives me extra motivation to do it right, to not make excuses or keep running to just cash a check. I feel satisfied, there’s nothing else to achieve.” As to what comes next, Linden isn’t sure, but didn’t want attention on her future to distract from her goal, racing Boston to her best. To stay focused, she kept the news a secret until the morning of the race, sharing her retirement in a full page ad in the Boston Globe. This didn’t make stepping away any easier, though. “Retiring is like having your favorite dog get near the end,” says Linden, “it’s hard to know when to make that call and how to do it with dignity, but I wouldn’t ask someone else to come in and tell me when to put my dog down, so I’m not going to ask anyone when I should stop my professional career.” For Linden, retirement is part of a natural process. “It’s a universal human experience to have things come to an end,” Linden says “but to have had my big moment is incredible. That was really, really special. Some athletes get worried about who they will be once they’re done, but I think maybe not defining ourselves as our careers is a little more healthy.” Read moreAs a coffee and bourbon aficionado Liden has her hands in many different pots already but this step away from professional marathoning will give me more balance playing soccer and softball with her older sister Her parents encouraged the pair to spend time outside and “not sit in front of the TV,” says Linden Her first race was the Junior Carlsbad mile which she finished before most of the boys “My dad sent me out there in sweat pants and I can’t even imagine what kind of shoes.” finding purpose and clarity racing the clock and competing for the podium “Competition was what kept me in the sport for so long I love testing myself against others and finding out how good I can be,” said Linden As a high school freshman she ran a sub-five minute mile and was a finalist at the California state meet all four years of high school She went on to be a two time All-American at Arizona State University showing potential despite never winning a conference or national championship Linden moved to Michigan to try her hand at a pro career Linden’s consistent progression is easy to map looking backwards Even though many professional athletes tell the outside world that it’s about the process I always wanted to win and so do most pros.” Despite her fierce competitiveness, Linden is simultaneously as selfless as pros come. Her bestseller book, Choosing To Run is dedicated to “everyone who’s brave enough to lace it up and take the first step,” emblematic of her core values Instead of a biography that waxes poetic about her achievements “I think about these people a lot,” says Linden “At this point it’s easy for me to go run because my life is built around running It’s hard and humbling and tough to be a beginner Marathoning stands out in that amateurs and pros run the same course on the same day even if their experiences are quite different Being the best marathoner means sacrificing a lot “I don’t like the word sacrifice because it was an intentional choice for me,” says Linden “In some ways it’s the most cushy job in the world but it’s all worth it when you’ve done everything you can and you didn’t leave anything on the table.” Linden has run at the highest level for nearly two decades without letting outside noise drag her down “You’ll find lots of people who will tell you why you can’t or little excuses so you don’t scrap for every second” says Linden just ask somebody who doesn’t have your best interest in mind The Boston Marathon is different from the other six Majors due to its course and rules It passes eight small towns on its way from Hopkinton to Copley Square in the center of Boston with many of the roads dating back centuries as they run over a series of rolling hills It’s less about splits and more about pure racing with a crescendo as you get into the city and the greatest finishing stretch in the world.” Linden has had her personal ups and downs at Boston breaking through in 2011 only to scratch before the start in 2013 while recovering from a femur fracture which forced her to consider early retirement She refound a love for running and returned before another low in 2017 when the first super shoes dominated the race “That crushed me in a really big way,” said Linden “The shoes took away the core meaning of the sport It was immediately clear how much they impacted the results.” The next year, in freezing Nor’easter that forced many athletes to drop out, Linden won “There have been so many incredible moments in racing history at Boston and I was lucky to put my name in that story the field has gotten deeper and winning times have dropped significantly while Linden has moved from her prime into the masters division “The last couple years I’ve lost the pack earlier than I would have liked and still run 2:29 Linden covered the first big move and stayed in touch with the lead pack longer hitting the halfway mark at 1:11 and finishing in 2:26 – the fastest she had completed the course since 2017 Linden was the first master’s woman and 17th overall a clear sign that even her best day wasn’t close to the podium This was a best case scenario – leaving it all other there one last time while leaving Linden confident she had made the right decision I want to push myself and if it’s not here I need to figure out where.” Without all the answers Linden is excited for the next chapter and the opportunity for “a second prime or a third prime.” “I’m not choosing to stop running,” says Linden Reinventing yourself and finding new

(left) and Softie In 2013, not long after Dr. Mojdeh Shayestehfar (known by patients as “Dr. Shay”) had set up her Linden Dental Care practice in Beverly Hills she brought her labradoodle Softie to the office “I was working on a patient that was extremely anxious and I had given her oral sedation,” Dr ‘Do you mind if she holds the puppy?’ So I put Softie on her on her lap Shay: “I used to see therapy dogs at UCLA all the time for their children's unit and for the burn unit,” says the UCLA undergrad and UCLA School of Dentistry graduate Why not a therapy dog at a dental office?’” Shay had also experienced trauma from dentistry “My dentist was impatient,” she says He had no patience for me because I was nervous.” she couldn’t immediately go to college because she wasn’t a resident “There was an opening for hands-on job training so I joined an ROP (Regional Occupation Program) and I ended up getting trained as a dental assistant on a marine base in El Toro.” Encouraged by the dentists there and propelled by her personal experience Her dental school class was the first comprised of an equal number of men and women “But I used to hear from our professors ‘This is the first year that it’s 50/50 she did a year of hospital dentistry and three more at UCLA’s Prosthodontics program — then she taught at UCLA for several years as an adjunct professor before opening her own practice at the Beverly Hills Medical Triangle Plaza in 2012 “When I started in Beverly Hills “My marketing tool was that whenever I would get a patient I would bake them chocolate chip cookies and send them and balloons to their place of work because it was something that people would share I got most of my clients at the beginning from Facebook and Google and it was a year into my practice that I got Softie.” Shay’s found that many people are afraid of dentistry “People think that one of the reasons they don't seek dentistry is because of the finances but [I’ve discovered] it’s actually from the pure fear,” she says Patients undergoing dental work can’t use their voice “And you’re in somebody's personal space," she adds "Which other professional do you go to and allow them to be so close to you?” She thus designed her office to feel “homey,” and it’s decorated as stylishly as a home When she first introduced a therapy dog into her practice It's got to be against OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration),’” she recalls from my malpractice insurance to OSHA to the dental board 'I'm going to do it,' and it was a positive experience for my patients Because having a dog in the office when you walk in and a setting that is more homey is a different feel than coming to an office that is sterile and too clinical The affectionate dogs (who are indeed quite soft) can hop up on the chair and lay with patients who are having a procedure “They cuddle with the patients throughout,” says Dr began asking patients who entered whether they'd like to cuddle with her she’d remain in the reception area or lounge on the sidelines “So it just changed my clientele,” Dr “and I ended up seeing a lot more phobic patients just because of them.” is skilled at discerning a patient’s discomfort and she reads the feeling a lot more,” Dr “I have realized that when a patient would come and they were nervous and they wouldn't even voice that and that was one of the signs that I used to ask the patient ‘Are you nervous about dentistry?’ And they would open up and say yes.’ … So we became a good team.” Six years after she introduced Softie The only thing I did with Softie was talk to her and she would understand he needed a little bit more — and Softie trained her She took on the role of a mom and showed him everything and it was important for him to be raised at the office They have to be used to the suction and the air blowing different people coming into the office and leaving and being comfortable to cuddle with strangers on command So it was crucial for them to be trained in a practice.” In addition to offering general dentistry “Anything restorative that a general dentist can't do But the emphasis of my practice is aesthetic dentistry.” As aesthetics are of particular interest in Beverly Hills she performs a lot of complex aesthetic procedures — “people that are losing their teeth and they're transitioning to the full implant or they want really high-end results from veneers who also does teeth whitening and Invisalign “And not only do I do aesthetic dentistry but I do neurotoxin and dermal fillers as well I do Botox for crooked smiles or a frown line or the jaw she sees technology and AI making the field of restorative much more digital “I think 3D printing is going to become to be a big part of dentistry and it's going to be more like software engineering — because you can scan somebody's mouth put it on the screen and then 3D-print a model of what you want their smiles to be.” The veteran with 25 years under her belt considers her biggest strength to be her perfectionism and “very good aesthetic eye.” “Also, I'm very patient,” she says. “I listen to the patient, and I get to know my patient a lot. My patients become my children, so I really do care for them, and I think it's more like entering into a family.” She adds, “I think women are, in general, more patient than men. Women definitely have a special role in the field of medicine and dentistry.” 462 N.

Linden delivered some news that would soon have everyone buzzing from Hopkinton to Copley Square In keeping with a longstanding Boston Marathon tradition which is that you just never know when there’s going to be a big surprise Linden’s surprise arrived with the morning paper As a means of announcing she plans to step away from professional marathoning took out a full-page color ad that ran in the Monday edition of the Boston Globe It’s important to note that Desiree Nicole Davila — married name: Linden — grew up in California She’s not some zany Boston sports fan whose teenage bedroom was festooned with posters of Cam Neely and Nomar Garciaparra She probably knows next to nothing about Boston’s tricky traffic rotaries is that anyone who does the Boston Marathon is forever changed Whether you run it to win it or run it to finish it the Boston Marathon pulls you in and never lets go (Or as longtime marathoner and trainer Susan Hurley calls them the then-Desiree Davila placed second in the women’s division just two seconds behind Caroline Kilel of Kenya with freezing rain pelting the runners from start to finish Linden ran a race within the race as she mulled dropping out she made her move at the base of Heartbreak Hill and won the women’s division in 2:39:59 — better than four minutes ahead of fellow American Sarah Sellers — to become the first U.S women’s runner to win the Boston Marathon in 33 years readers of the Boston Globe found Linden’s announcement on page C3 of the Sports section: “Dear Boston: I made my debut at 26.2 on your roads in 2007 and fell in love — with the distance and with the Boston Marathon we were in it together as you lifted me up through the Newton Hills carried me as I turned Right on Hereford and Left on Boylston and brought me with two heartbreaking seconds of victory.” Meeting with the media Monday afternoon after her 17th-place finish Linden revealed the fine print of her retirement announcement “It’s just the end of professional marathoning This obviously is where all my focus has been Linden was asked about the method she chose to announce she’s stepping away from professional marathoning but it seemed like the thing to do,” Linden said The news quickly became the big pre-marathon talker Linden helped things along by posting a screen grab of the ad on Instagram What’s noteworthy is less the mode of dissemination and more about the message USA!” chant she heard as she raced after Kilel in her desperate pursuit of victory it was the impromptu afterparty at the old Red Lantern in the Back Bay She drank champagne out of a shoe that night “A Brooks casual street shoe,” Linden once told me She remembers the shoe from which she drank champagne Linden was asked if she had any waves of nostalgia during Monday’s marathon run but her responses suggested that even memories of the good old days can be used to gain an edge Such as when she was asked about taking over the 2018 race at the front door to Heartbreak Hill “I thought about that a little bit,” she said but that’s more from a strategic perspective where it’s like this is a good place to regroup I remember making a right-hand turn at the fire station and looking back and If this was Linden’s last at-bat as a marathoner she didn’t go out with a home run the way Ted Williams did on that cool when he socked a pitch from Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jack Fisher into the Boston bullpen Teddy Ballgame didn’t doff his cap that day Des Linden spent pretty much all of Monday doffing her cap Linden has plenty of friends and family in town Plans for Monday night in her beloved Boston “I haven’t thought that far ahead,” Linden said (Top photo: Des Linden embraces her husband after crossing the finish line: Jessica Rinaldi / The

on April 7 during protest action in Linden over the shooting death of Ronaldo Peters There had been widespread riotous behaviour during which the Mackenzie-Wismar Bridge was blocked with debris fires set and missiles hurled at law enforcers Leader of the Party Nigel Hughes stated that “the murder of Keon Fogenay …..at Half Mile Not a single charge has been brought against the police officer who was observed shooting Mr Fogenay to death It is now almost three weeks since that incident and we believe that there is evidence in the possession of the Guyana Police Force for them not only to have

the United States one of the greatest baseball players of all time Between 2019 and 2023 the flow of immigrants to both the region and the city grew by more 25% Why does this matter? According to an analysis by the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Social and Urban Research (UCSUR) international immigration more than offset the region’s natural population loss and domestic exodus The decades-long decline of Pittsburgh’s population is being reversed by immigration as the city’s economic profile switches from mills and mines to meds and eds nearly 60% of Pittsburgh’s foreign-born population have bachelor’s or higher degrees — a higher share than in any other major metropolitan area People like von Ahn originally came to Pittsburgh as students Thousands of them have come feeling — until recently —welcome and valuing the freedom and independence of American universities Many come from repressive states like China and Russia because here they have been free to pursue their ideas without suspicion and fear mongering We — our country and our region — are the beneficiaries Eager for the best education for their youth and with substantial disposable income they have sent more than 270,000 of their children to the US We see the impact in Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods Take a walk down the main streets of Squirrel Hill and count the number of Asian restaurants — there are more than three dozen — plus other enterprises serving the large number of Asian students who are here family members come too and they buy homes for themselves and their students What will happen, we might ask, if Trump’s erratic policies and rogue ICE squads produce a sharp drop in the flow of foreign students? Pausing or reversing the cancellation of more than 1,200 students visas does not mitigate the fear of foreign students Chinese students in particular are vulnerable because of the president’s signaling out of their home country and application of unilateral measures like tariffs A new Cold War with China will certainly reduce the number of Chinese students coming here the history of Pittsburgh is testimony to the vibrancy variety and richness of experience that foreigners and immigrants bring to our city What is the likelihood that a young person in Western Pennsylvania will go to Asia But as a Pitt student they will encounter a kaleidoscope of people from all over the world They — and we — learn about their languages When this happens all of us become better equipped to succeed in a world more tightly wrapped than ever Railing about foreigners “ripping us off,” blocking foreign products and making foreign visitors and students fearful of arbitrary detention and deportation will not change that world It will only make us less able to understand and flourish in it and in the bargain betray Pittsburgh’s proud history Linden is a retired professor from the University of Pittsburgh where he directed Pitt’s Center for European Studies and for Russian & East European Studies Stay up-to-date on important news from TribLIVE 1-800-909-8742 © 2025 Trib Total Media | All Rights Reserved About Us Advertise Career Opportunities Contact Advertising Contact Circulation Contact Newsroom Contact Us Feedback Request Correction Resource Center Scholarship Opportunities Send Letter to the Editor Send News Tip Subscribe Subscriber Services Blog eFeatures Email Newsletters eTrib Facebook Home Delivery Instagram LinkedIn Marketing Minute Store Locations TribLIVE App - App Store TribLIVE App - Google Play X (formerly Twitter) Arts & Entertainment Best of the Best Business Directory Circulars Contests Coronavirus Lifestyles Local News YaJagOff Obituaries Opinion Our Publications Photos Real Estate Sports Video Weather Cookie Settings Privacy Policy Terms of Service LINDEN – The City Council is scheduled to introduce two revised housing and land ordinances following pushback from the local Orthodox Jewish community at noon on Good Friday at Linden High School will be the reconvening of Tuesday's regular meeting which was adjourned when an overcapacity crowd turned out over allegations that two previously introduced ordinances discriminated against Orthodox Jews One ordinance prohibited the use of basements for any purpose and the other required all homes to have garages and a single which would complicate the construction of homes for large families with multiple bedrooms According to the Yeshiva World News report a recent influx of Hasidic families moving to Linden has prompted the city to adopt new zoning ordinances impacting them including a measure that increased the minimum lot size to 90,000 square feet to build a house a worship when no lots of that size are available to build on in the city "These policy changes are compounded by troubling remarks made by the mayor ... and a noticeable rise in antisemitic sentiment," said Rabbi Yossi Katz of Congregation Anshe Chesed of Linden "Alarming incidents have included residents receiving hate mail stating "Hitler was right," as well as an uptick in antisemitic rhetoric on local Facebook groups Linden Mayor Derek Armstead was cited in a civil lawsuit last year brought by a former school district administrator as allegedly saying he only wanted African Americans and Haitians to be hired by the Linden Board of Education "to keep our community from being taken over by guys with big hats and curls."

wide range of diseases Investigating the biology of sleep and aging not only enhances our understanding of their core functions and underlying mechanisms but also sheds light on how these processes interact with other health conditions By studying molecular components and neural circuits in a simple model organism like Caenorhabditis elegans—which has a fully mapped genome and nervous system along with tools to manipulate gene and brain function—we can directly explore the processes of sleep and aging This approach offers valuable insights into fundamental questions such as why do we sleep The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans is an ideal model for studying aging and sleep due to its behavioral similarities to humans including clear sleep-like states and distinct physiological changes between sleep and wakefulness Many of the anatomical and functional changes observed in human aging are also present in C combined with a rapid 2-3 day life cycle and small size makes it highly amenable to genetic manipulation and high-throughput screening for mutations that affect sleep and aging elegans genes share strong homology with their human counterparts especially those involved in the regulation of sleep and aging The model has already led to key discoveries such as RNA interference and the genetic regulation of programmed cell death and continues to be a powerful tool for advancing research in sleep and aging Sleep and metabolic processes are deeply interconnected insufficient sleep is linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes We are exploring the genes and neurons that regulate these sleep-metabolic interactions Our recent research has revealed that the conserved salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3) pathway plays a crucial role in the metabolic regulation of various sleep states in C including developmentally-timed sleep (similar to circadian sleep) and stress-induced sleep (comparable to sickness sleep) The SIK3 proteins and their targets are highly conserved across C we are investigating how SIK3 coordinates the interaction between sleep and metabolism through genetic and neural approaches as well as high-throughput behavioral analyses to better understand why this pathway is critical for maintaining health Our lab is also focused on understanding organismal aging which may involve the gradual accumulation of harmful molecular changes that contribute to age-related decline and disease We are particularly interested in a newly recognized class of non-coding endogenous RNAs called circular RNAs (circRNAs) which are primarily produced through back-splicing events from known protein-coding genes Our recent research has shown that circRNAs accumulate progressively and in large quantities during aging the functions of these age-accumulated circRNAs as well as those of most of the thousands of circRNAs discovered and behavioral analysis to explore the regulatory mechanisms and functions of circRNAs in aging as well as their potential role in age-related diseases our lab is broadly focused on understanding how environmental and internal signals influence behavior and gene expression We have published several studies on the dynamic changes in olfactory gene expression in response to the feeding state of the free-living nematode C These findings may provide valuable insights into how parasitic nematodes and disease-carrying insects navigate their hosts based on their nutritional status Please find a complete list of published work on My Bibliography Des Linden made her 29th marathon — and 12th in Boston

Linden would be announcing her retirement from road racing on her own terms: by taking out a full-page ad in the Boston Globe the morning of the race And she granted me unprecedented access to chronicle that final show Linden has raced from Hopkinton to Copley Square on Marathon Monday almost every year since—12 times all told—including a bittersweet second-place finish in 2011 an iconic win in 2018 that made her the first American female champion since 1985 although Linden isn’t a huge fan of the word “Maybe I should have swung bigger and been OK with failing right?” Linden told me a few weeks before the race “I wonder if I left really good days on the table by being conservative you have to risk something—but that’s hard.” there’s an added weight to those who have previously worn the Grecian winner’s wreath—especially when it’s a former Boston champion’s curtain call Through the camera lens I aimed to capture a rare behind-the-scenes look at her final marathon from press conferences to signing autographs to shakeout runs sharing a lesser-seen perspective of the champ at her final goodbye to pro marathoning I met up with Linden backstage at Boston’s public radio station WBUR before Linden and her Nobody Asked Us co-host Kara Goucher hosted a live podcast in front of 300 guests the vibes were lighthearted and easy-going The next morning Linden got up early to do an 8-mile easy run along the Charles River Esplanade although I quickly realized that her easy pace was not so easy for me although a few runners recognized her and shouted words of encouragement as we passed by An hour later we were at the Brooks Hyperion House meeting with other Brooks pros Jess McClain and Aliphine Tuliamuk to lead a shakeout run with some fans signed autographs and took selfies before heading back to her hotel for lunch In the afternoon we returned to the Hyperion House for a panel event hosted by Emily Abbate with a desire to avoid extra attention in the build up to the marathon On Sunday morning we returned to the Charles bike path for a final easy run keeping the banter light and away from the subject of her final race many of which screamed “Des!” as she flew by Linden laid out her race kit and filled her race bottles making sure they were labeled correctly for the aid stations along the course Ryan took the gear downstairs to drop off the bottles with race officials and to make sure the kit was compliant with race rules before tying her shoes and packing her drop bag to wait in the staging area before walking out of the hotel to the athlete bus to the cheers of the hotel staff who would go on to finish as the top American in the marathon in a massive personal best of 2:22:43 for seventh place The emotions started to show a little on the start line as the announcer recognized past winners and shared with the crowd that this would be Linden’s final marathon with the stacked elite field setting a fast pace in the early miles Linden covered the first move but lost touch of the leaders a few miles later finding a few other pros to work with in the middle miles Linden was taking a risk and leaving it all out on the course After a right on Hereford and a left onto Boylston Linden entered the last few blocks of her final Boston Marathon Positioned on the photo bridge above the finish I watched as the crowds on both sides started to cheer

different I probably would have just been a puddle of tears I spent a lot of time in my room with those emotions and tears.” Linden is from the other side of the country but she loves this place and its storied race like a local who grew up dreaming of roaring down Boylston Street someday and because her success did not come easily Linden is one of those rare athletes who has built a connection with this city through an admirable and abundant mix of competitiveness and character similar in some ways to Meb Keflezighi on the men’s side She has always shown love to the city (one of her dogs is named Boston) and she has shown up whether it was making her debut here in a nor’easter in 2007 or running away from the field in ’18 in that miserable near-monsoon Linden was always up for going stride-for-stride with Mother Nature a trait appreciated in a region where people spend a good part of the year enduring uncooperative conditions Linden fell for Boston during her marathon debut in ’07 running in the shadow of established Americans Deena Kastor “It was an overwhelmingly positive experience,” Linden recalled The 2011 race brought that endearing near-miss when she led briefly with 250 meters to go before Kenya’s Caroline Kilel outsprinted her to the finish Boston does love a redemption story or a good tale of resilience and Linden’s legend was secured with her runaway victory — she prevailed by more than four minutes — in the driving rain in 2018 making her the first American to win the women’s open race since 1985 “I got into the sport because of the Boston Marathon I came out here in 2007 and they treated a nobody like I belonged To win on this course and this race with that support is awesome.” Linden was at her best in 2018 in the spot where so many runners’ hopes have stalled over the years She made up 25 seconds on the leaders on Heartbreak Hill before taking the lead at Mile 21 in front of Boston College She acknowledged Monday that the memory of that career-changing pivot point in her ’18 victory crossed her mind during this year’s race “There are little points along the way [you remember] I think that’s more from a strategic perspective ‘This is a good place to regroup,’ or ‘I can lean into this hill.’ ” When Linden crossed the finish line, a little less than nine minutes after women’s winner Sharon Lokedi’s course-record time of 2:17:22 then was greeted by American runners that included Jess McClain who bowed down in a we’re-not-worthy salute “I had those folks in front of me that paved the way I looked up to them and they always made me feel like I belonged So I always tried to do that for other folks in the sport It was a fitting final scene for the former champ and honorary Bostonian for life one of Linden’s core memories here was

Queen of Hearts pageant and she plans to use her platform to uplift youth in her community and honour unsung heroes Mentis has emerged as a standout voice in the local pageant scene not only for her poise and performance but for her powerful message of youth empowerment and social justice following her debut in the Miss Fabulous Teen competition held in Linden Describing herself as “a very small girl with a very big voice,” Mentis said her interest in pageantry was sparked by the opportunity it provided for her to express herself and use her platform to create meaningful change I was excited to have a platform that allows me to use my voice to give recognition to people who deserve it,” she shared contestants were tasked with spotlighting unsung heroes in the community and Mentis was given Egbert Benjamin — the first mayor of Linden — as her focus did a lot of work with the disability community he poured a lot into Linden,” Mentis shared with Stabroek Weekend We need to have some fun in the apocalypse He was secretly harboring a huge weed farm in an abandoned 7/11 just outside of Jackson This piece of information instantly makes us love Eugene Is there a better place for a weed farm than a 7/11 Join us as we break down this oft-mentioned figure from the games who was married to a therapist and seemingly left an impression on many people in town he was killed by Joel in The Last of Us series We first hear about Eugene in The Last of Us season two, episode one. Joel’s therapist Gail, played by Catharine O’Hara lets us know that Eugene was her late husband so we bet there’s a lot to the story of what happened between him and Eugene when he killed him Gail also mentions that Eugene could always procure the best weed Eugene was keeping a huge weed farm secret from Jackson But Jesse knows about the 7/11 emporium because Eugene was his first patrol partner Jesse appears to harbor a great affection for Eugene and speaks of him with considerable respect He also shares that The Last of Us‘ Eugene was a Vietnam veteran and ex-Firefly but he didn’t want to kill people anymore we got just a touch more information about Eugene It seems Dina was close to him in The Last of Us TV series as well as in the games (which we’ll discuss below) She shared that Eugene had told her a story once about his past as a Firefly Eugene revealed that he had seen small or heard of small regional groups across the country all trying to fight FEDRA and that included the Washington Liberation Front out of Seattle that Eugene thought it was very stupid these regional groups didn’t just join together This is the third time Eugene has come up in the first three episodes of The Last of Us season two so we bet he’s going to figure into the story of the season in some important fashion Eugene is a character from The Last of Us—Part II game he doesn’t have nearly as much story as he does in the series so far and Gail doesn’t appear in the games so that important connection is created solely for The Last of Us series Eugene is known to have died from a stroke at 73 And that makes Eugene one of the few characters in The Last of Us—Part II to have died from natural causes But this rare distinction won’t be given to Eugene of the series it’s Dina who is closer to Eugene and not Jesse It’s clear from episode three of The Last of Us that some version of this relationship exists in the series as well between Eugene and Dina but maybe not to the same degree as in the games Dina shares that Eugene taught her about electronics which we actually see Joel do on The Last of Us show Ellie finds Eugene’s dog tags and learns that he was a Firefly who served with Tommy The HBO series has not mentioned Tommy’s relationship with Eugene so far The Last of Us—Part II game also goes deeper into Eugene and Tommy’s time as Fireflies than the series does It describes how they killed and even slow-tortured people Ellie meditates more about the brutality of Tommy and Joel in the context of Eugene in the game than she does in the series Eugene left his family to join the Fireflies it seems like he found Gail after he left the Fireflies it doesn’t seem like Gail and Eugene have any children in the show Eugene still has a huge weed farm in the game it feels like The Last of Us series’ Eugene will become a much more fleshed-out and lovable character than he was in the games We know that Joe Pantoliano will play Eugene on The Last of Us season two so it seems likely we’ll see Eugene in more than just a photograph as the series continues We like basically everything we’ve heard about Eugene so far so it will be fascinating if we do get to see him and learn more about how exactly Joel killed him and why The Last of Us season two continues to air on HBO and Max, Sundays at 9 p.m. We’re delighted you're perusing our site for all your nerdy news We'd wholeheartedly appreciate you enabling ads to keep this content free My home is near a business that has become a hotspot for shootings My 13-year-old daughter used to walk through the alley to catch her school bus at 6:15 a.m. We hear sirens constantly.

Police must do more for grieving families How many more children have to be in danger before action is taken I urge the city to shut down unsafe businesses increase patrols and provide meaningful support to restore safety to Linden I grew up with the idea that the words “diversity,” “equity” and “inclusion” indicated positive elements of American culture and were part of what made our country admirable despite efforts by government leaders to suggest they are un-American and must be stamped out The April 27 issue of The Dispatch carried an column about the Black Alumni Reunion held recently at Ohio University the participants gathered without the acknowledgement of the university which had “paused” the reunion in deference to DEI concerns and government pressure to eliminate events that demonstrate “improper ideology.” I attended a service at my Presbyterian church honoring our Scottish heritage blessing of clan tartans presented by families with Scottish ties I know central Ohio has long encouraged participation in our local festivals — Italian Octoberfest and many more examples of diversity Opinion: Ohio University couldn't cancel Black Alumni Reunion. It had no business trying. I am struggling to grasp the difference between proud Black alumni celebrating their shared connection to their beloved university and a congregation showing pride in their church’s legacy or any population enjoying an ethnic festival or parade Re "Left, right.

The correlating factor to training and racing exclusively in super shoes (shoes with carbon plates) is documented. (Bone Stress Injuries in Runners Using Carbon Fiber Plate Footwear) more athletes need to suffer this injury for the industry and the governing bodies of the sport to shift Linden has done much for the sport of athletics with her performances podcasts and statements (never one to shy away) It would be refreshing and helpful if more athletes would speak out about super shoes risks and how running is an expression of fitness And perhaps reliance on super shoes has created a market and a potential negative effect of an uneven playing field which will separate the haves from the have-nots This Current Opinion discusses a possible association of BSIs with CFP footwear while recognizing the performance benefits that have been described Advances in the evaluation and management of BSIs have been extensively published and highlight the need to identify multiple risk factors for BSIs We recommend further research to better understand whether the association of BSIs with CFP footwear is unique to the described runners in this case series or applies to other running populations Prior experience with metatarsal BSI with minimalist footwear led shoe companies to develop a more gradual program for transitioning to minimalist shoes; it is plausible that similar advances could be developed by shoe companies researchers and clinicians to promote safety in sports when using CFP footwear and both sports industry and sports federations have a duty to respect the guidance and advice of medical professionals The excitement surrounding this new technology is palpable for both athletes and the sports medicine community We hope this article helps to guide better recognition of medical issues related to CFP footwear the appropriate use of this new technology Log in to leave a comment This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
