A FREE roundup of top news from Guyana you might otherwise miss
One of America’s greatest distance runners is excited about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead after a job she modestly describes as ‘cushy’
“This will be my last time racing Boston in the professional field,” Linden said a few weeks before this year’s race. 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.”

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 challenges is a good thing

Mojdeh Shayestehfar of Linden Dental Care is flanked by Parker (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.”

BOSTON — Des Linden finished 17th among the women Monday afternoon in the 2025 Boston Marathon
when many people were just getting out of bed
that 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

The Alliance for Change (AFC) has called on the government to conduct an independent investigation into the shooting death of Keon Fogenay
who was killed by a policeman 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 concluded the investigation

President Donald Trump’s threats and actions against immigrants seeking a better life here is not only a betrayal of the very nature
along with tariffs and assaults on health care and human services
It also promises serious negative consequences for Pittsburgh
You don’t have to spend much time in Pittsburgh to become aware of the key role of its immigrants
The industries we are known for and the cultural institutions that are still active (libraries
foundations) came from a long list of prominent immigrants and their progeny
and Art Rooney’s parents and grandparents journeyed from Ireland to Wales and Canada before coming here
Our culture and lives have been enriched by immigration
Andy Warhol was the son of Ruthenian immigrants; Sophie Masloff
Jonas Salk’s mother was born in Minsk
who saved not only the Penguins but cancer patients’ lives through his foundation
Heinz revolutionized food production and of him Andrew Smith said
“Children of immigrant families can make a big difference in the way we eat.”
one of the most prominent Black newspapers in 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

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."
Armstead issued an apology for making disparaging comments about Hasidic Jews
City Attorney Daniel Antonelli said Tuesday the two controversial ordinances were being removed from the agenda and would not be coming up for a vote
details of which weren’t immediately available
Antonelli said he was among those who received emails about the objections to the original ordinances
and a meeting was held to discuss how to address the Hasidic community's concerns while addressing the city's concerns about development
He said he hopes the Hasidic community will be more satisfied with the changes being made
We have made those changes," Antonelli said
"I'm hoping the changes proposed will satisfy your concerns."

Aging and sleep are fundamental biological processes that are highly conserved across species
Disruptions or deficiencies in these processes have been linked to a 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

Des Linden made her 29th marathon — and 12th in Boston — the last 26.2-mile race of her professional career
a 41-year-old who won the 2018 Boston Marathon
and I felt like I moved all the chips in and just went for broke out there and was really happy with the result,” she said on the broadcast
Linden made her marathon debut in Boston in 2007 and ran her first of five Olympic Trials marathons in Boston in 2008
she became the first American female runner to win the world’s oldest annual marathon since 1985
“I made my debut at 26.2 on your roads in 2007 and fell in love -- with the distance and with the Boston Marathon,” was posted on Linden’s social media two hours before she started Monday’s race
carried me as I turned right on Hereford and left on Boylston

Linden raced the Olympic marathon in 2012 (dropping out with a stress fracture in her femur) and 2016 (placing seventh)
She remains the most recent American male or female runner to win a World Marathon Major (Berlin
“It’s not retirement; it’s retirement from the professional marathon side of things,” she said

Correspondent Andy Cochrane was granted special behind-the-scenes access to shadow the 2018 champion in Boston for her last dance from Hopkinton to Boylston
A few months ago, my friend Des Linden asked me if I could keep a secret
“Boston is going to be my last race as a pro,” she shared. 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

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
After finishing in 2:26:19—her fastest time since 2017
and first place for masters women—Linden was greeted with a hug from Ryan
That was everything I could have asked for.” Seconds later
sharing hugs and congratulations with the former champ for the last time on Boylston Street
So, no, she is not from Boston
Linden, 41, has run 24 marathons in a decorated career that includes two Olympics and a rain-drenched but cathartic victory in Boston her sixth time running the marathon, in 2018.
including her first in 2007 and what she says will be her last on Monday
ending her marathon career where it began and blossomed
In what read as a full-page thank you note to the city and the race in Monday’s Globe
Linden announced that she was retiring from competitive marathoning
She plans to compete in trail running and ultra-marathons
and that’s what I’m doing — because choosing to race my final professional marathon in Boston is indeed going out on top,” she wrote
Thanks for all the years and all the cheers.”
who finished second by just two seconds in 2011 and whose resilience finally paying off seven years later
left the sentimental feelings on the printed page on Monday
There was not much time for nostalgia when there was one more race to run
“I was all in on racing,” she said after finishing 17th overall and fifth among American women with a time of 2 hours
if I tried to do anything 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 accompanied by decent weather

Seventeen-year-old Shenia Mentis has won the Miss Linden 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.

Exterior work is continuing on 313 Linden Street, a four-story residential building in Bushwick
Designed by Baobab Architects for the Dimension Group
The development is located on a 2,500-square-foot interior lot between Irving and Knickerbocker Avenues
The steel-framed superstructure topped out in 2021 and work has been moving along slowly since then
Crews are still in the process of enclosing the exterior with metal studs and insulation boards behind a shroud of scaffolding and construction netting
The fourth floor is set back from the sidewalk
Balconies will line the front and rear elevations
The property was formerly occupied by a two-story residential building
as seen in the below Google Street View image from before its demolition
It is unclear what has caused the delays in the project
The partially built structure was acquired by the current owner for $1.8 million in late September 2024
and it remains to be seen when work will finish
The nearest subways from the development are the L and M trains at the Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenue station to the northeast above Myrtle Avenue
No renderings or completion timeline have been revealed

The mod little bistro has been especially well received in the City of Ships
where restaurant turnover has stymied folks looking for a non-pubby night out
What makes a neighborhood restaurant click? Well, for starters, it ought to be filled with neighbors. That sure seemed to be the case when my wife and I stopped into Linden + Front
Both the bifurcated restaurant’s dining rooms were thrumming: the front room
where Elsa and I nabbed a table beneath one of the big
boisterous botanical prints that characterize the whole place’s décor
Khristine Leeman, who opened Linden + Front last February with her husband, executive chef Zac Leeman, suspects that even during peak tourist season, the crowd splits 60/40 for locals. It’s a different scene than at Sundrenched
the seasonal seafood shack the Leemans have run since 2022
on Zac’s native Bailey Island — and so is Linden’s menu of updated comfort food
Clockwise from top left: apricot-glazed pork porterhouse with delicata squash; a crab-cake starter with saffron aioli and bouillabaisse; house-made ice cream; a botanical triptych dominates the barroom; the fruity-floral Pom Is Your Color cocktail
The mod little bistro fills a niche for diners in the City of Ships
where downtown turnover has sometimes stymied folks looking for a non-pubby night out
was once the spot for date night or a special-but-not-too-special occasion
the vibey Portuguese joint that replaced it
Its owners had renovated a rambling former antique shop into a lively and colorful eatery
briefly reimagined as a bakery and carry-out cantina but shuttered by spring of 2022
Linden + Front has recaptured much of Salt Pine’s polished playfulness
And it nails another crucial element of a great neighborhood restaurant: a peppy and welcoming bar
Linden’s is beneath the same rainbow of jewel-like lanterns that once hung at Salt Pine
Khristine’s cocktail menu is as splashy as the lighting
Hits on our visit included the Pom Is Your Color
which swaps out the traditional Campari for bergamot liqueur
giving the drink a citrus bite and Sprite-like clarity
is “a little like playing mad scientist.” The draft list
who grew up loitering in her dad’s wine shop
says she privileges drinkability over complexity
A diner can easily make a meal off the small-plates side of the menu
which landed a bit better at our table than the entrées
The yummy “five-layer dip” was like meze turned into a football snack — a ganoush-esque eggplant spread (confusingly billed as “eggplant caviar”) with fried artichokes
and whipped goat cheese (and a crusty wheat bread to spread it on)
their outsides crispy despite being half submerged in a fragrant bouillabaisse
who ran kitchens in Minnesota’s Twin Cities
calls the dish “a cross between a traditional crab cake
The entrées skew more traditional: roasted chicken
A roasted butternut squash accompanying the pork porterhouse was on the dry side
one of several cuts on the menu from Kennebec Meat Company
For dessert: A raspberry panna cotta that was tasty but surprisingly dense — dairy-free
banana-pudding–flavored and so very creamy
including the rotating flavors of house-churned scoops
we surveyed our fellow diners: starry-eyed couples
a cackling crew of older ladies perhaps a couple of negronis deep
“We’ve filled our bar with fishermen and had suits in the dining room,” Zac told me later
A sure sign of a neighborhood restaurant clicking
A 17-year-old Newark teen was also charged
He is charged with fourth-degree obstruction of the administration of law
The shooting took place outside the Linden Applebee's — located in Aviation Plaza off Rt
Police say four men entered the restaurant
Several shots were fired either inside or outside of the restaurant
Juvenile complaints were filed against the 17-year-old for aggravated assault
possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose
A two-week investigation by the Linden Police Juvenile Aid Bureau identified Exilus as one of the suspects
He was taken into custody without incident by the Union County Sheriff's Office Warrant Squad
The two other men involved remain at large
The shooting remains under investigation by the Linden Police Juvenile Aid Bureau
and anyone with information is urged to contact Det

Des Linden announced her retirement as a professional long-distance runner
Boston Marathon was the final performance in a long and prosperous athletics career
when asked about the advent of super shoes in 2017
“That crushed me in a really big way
The shoes took away the core meaning of the sport
She also talked about first running when her father sent her out in sweats and “who knows what type of shoes.”
Shades of four-time Olympian Lorraine Moller of New Zealand
who recalls running barefoot as a child in the forest with her father
Linden finished seventh in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games marathon
She ran that time at the Houston Marathon in 2012 and ran the Boston Marathon in 2011
Linden won the race in 2018 during a Nor’easter—a storm that the southern California native relished when beating all others
Moller won in Boston and won several times in Osaka
setting the national U20 record in the 800m and was competitive in all distances up to the marathon
Moller went on to write the bestseller On the Wings of Mercury
Linden is also an author and podcaster
she was already retired when they arrived on the scene
runners had to rely on the strength of their training only
Different runners benefit in different ways when it comes to wearing super shoes
In an Athletics Illustrated interview with PhD Wouter Hoogkamer
part of the team that inspired the naming of the original Nike 4%
said that through their Nike-commissioned study
he replied that they have “not done that study yet.”
But a fairly reasoned assumption is that a runner with a low-profile stride
The athlete with the high knee lift and kick
landing with their bodyweight directly over the planted foot
Linden’s major injury was a femoral stress fracture — a not-so-common injury for runners
there appears to be an increase in femoral stress fractures in runners who train mostly or exclusively in super shoes
In this 2023 National Library of Medicine opinion article, five athletes were documented with stress fractures. 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
