The Wineglass Marathon
The Wineglass Marathon is just two months away. Locally, the Corning Wegmans sees an increase in shoppers the weekend of the race. However, they may have to manage to their popular chicken noodle soup without one Corning employee.

"I've heard about the wineglass marathon for many many years and I've seen the impact it's hard on the community. Certainly, the growth over the past several years has made it even more of an impact on the community," said general manager of the Corning Wegmans, Garret Callahan. By day, Garret is the general manager at the Corning Wegmans. On October 4th, he'll be just one of thousands of runners running the Wineglass half-marathon.

    The Glass Castle

    Jeannette Walls’ memoir, The Glass Castle, gives a vivid description of what life is like growing up in a poor family where parental negligence and limited supervision is common. Walls grows up with a high tolerance for hard times and bravery that is unmatched. Her self-sufficiency and education helped Walls escape her difficult childhood and poor family life growing up. Walls’ memoir clearly refutes the statement made in The Great Gatsby by Daisy Buchanan that "the best thing a girl can be in this world, [is] a beautiful, little fool” (Fitzgerald 17). In Walls’ eyes, the best thing a girl can be is strong, motivated, and, most importantly, educated. Throughout The Glass Castle, Walls uses anecdotes, figurative language, and a repetition of words that proves her stance is one that plainly contradicts Daisy’s statement about what furthers the life of women.…

    The Glass Castle

    In this both heart wrenching and slightly humorous memoir, successful journalist Jeannette Walls tells the bittersweet story of her rather dysfunctional and poverty stricken upbringing. Walls grows up in a family trailed by the ubiquitous presence of hunger and broken down homes. Throughout the memoir she recounts memories of moving from one dilapidated neighborhood to another with her three other siblings, insanely "free sprinted" mother, and incredibly intelligent yet alcoholic father. The author focuses on her unconventional childhood with somewhat unfit parents much too lazy and self-absorbed to even obtain decent jobs. Although Walls's childhood gushes with heartbreaking tales of searching through dumpsters for food, she remains as unbitter as possible and instead views her youth in an almost comical light. While most in similar situations observe experiences like these through unforgiving eyes, Walls views her unfortunate experiences through the transparent walls of the "glass castle" and recalls how although not rich with money, she learns to overflow with not only strength, but the determination to succeed as well. Although her parents put her through very difficult experiences, she manages to optimistically accept her past and create a much better life for herself.…

    "About volunteering. I mean, I don't have any problems with killing kids, that's whatever. Hell, even a 5-year-old I think I could kill without losing too much sleep. But the whole having to be tethered to a little kid? Seems a little shady to me, I don't like it. And on top of that quells in general are bad news, careers haven't won one yet, and the arenas are all really wacky. I think I'll just wait, I can still volunteer next year and have a better chance of not dying in there."…

    Marathon Running

    Aerobic respiration is a stage of cellular respiration that requires oxygen. When oxygen is present the pyruvic acid molecules enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl coenzyme A. This is also how fatty acids enter the citric acid cycle. During the citric acid cycle, the acetyl coenzyme A molecules are converted into carbon dioxide and water. The final step of aerobic cellular respiration is the electron transport system during which ATP molecules are charged with energy. At the end of aerobic respiration glucose is utilized completely and 36 ATP molecules are produced.…
