Last year, Scherf finished seventh in the nation in the 5,000 meters, setting her previous personal best with 16:09.38, a full 26 seconds slower than her new time...
...truly enjoyed your selection of the best new inventions [Nov. 21]. I liked the ENV hydrogen-powered motorcycle and the Shift tricycle, whose rear wheels move closer together at higher speeds and separate for balance at slower ones. But I was most impressed by the LifeStraw [a drinking tube with powerful filters that can prevent waterborne infections that kill millions of people in the developing world]. I've traveled to areas where clean water is not a given, so I can appreciate the LifeStraw's value. Thank you for opening eyes around the world to this wonderful device...

A couple of the tracks are from the first album I recorded that was an independently released album. I was 16 when I made it so we wanted to go back and revisit some of those songs, especially because it only was locally released so we wanted...
