Det här var en bra runda och 4,5 km i terräng var en bra erfarenhet gämfört med att springa vid sidan av vägar och gångvägar som jag gjort tidigare. Det är en bra start för att förbereda mig för Lidingöloppet 15 om jag nu ska springa det nästa år.
Tempot var runt 6,45 min/km hela vägen men det kändes som om jag sprang 6,15... Jag hade nog mycket mer motivation för att springa fort före tävlingen för tre veckor sedan för jag tror inte jag förlorat kondis sedan dess. Terrängen tog ut sin rätt också. Den här rundan ska jag springa igen, den var helt ok även om 11+ km känns som max vad jag klarar just nu.

Albysjön Runt - Never aagin! Jag tänkte jag skulle få en extra utmaning så här i slutet av säsongen och Albysjön Runt är ungefär 8,5 km plus sträckan till och från att springa. Men det var inte lätt, det var ingen löpvänlig terräng. Spångar, trappor och bitvis sankt, bergshällar och massor av rötter att springa på. Terrängen stör mig inte men det gick inte att jogga på ett bra sätt på dessa stigar. Dessutom sprang jag bort mig rejält vid ett par tillfällen och hamnade bl a uppe på ett berg. Nåja, terrängen tog ut sin rätt och jag var ordentligt trött och fick lov att gå omkr 1 km mitt på, men sedan gick det bra tills orken tog slut. Efter 11,15 km stängde jag av klockan, gick till bussen och åkte hem. Det blev i alla fall ett nytt sträckrekord, men nästa gång springer jag en annan väg om jag ska runt Albysjön.

Ingvar Wixell, en av Sveriges absolut största sångare genomtiderna, är död. Han avled igår, 80 år gammal.
När Ingvar Wixell sjöng var det aldrig något snack om brister i Operans akustik, hans röst fyllde hela salongen. Inte nog med det: fraseringen var mjuk och samtidigt knivskarp, något som gav en fantastisk relief åt till exempel den livsfarlige polischefen i Puccinis opera ”Tosca”, en av Ingvar Wixells paradroller. Skönheten i stämman gick inte ens förlorad i utsatta lägen där operasångare lätt kan börja råsjunga.
Ingvar Wixells karriär inleddes i födelsestaden Luleå i en vanlig, men musikalisk, familj. Bakåt i släkten fanns spelmän. Men Luleå hade vid den här tiden, utan varken tv eller Rikskonserter, en klart begränsad kulturtillgång. Wixell klev in i en avancerad amatörkör samt spelade altviolin i Luleå orkesterförening. Dessutom musicerade han i en stråkkvartett. Klokt nog uppmuntrade ensemblens cellist Wixell att satsa på en professionell artistbana, inte som instrumentalist, utan som sångare.
Med sitt röstmaterial kom han in på Musikaliska akademien i Stockholm och fick gå för den legendariska sångpedagogen Dagmar Gustafson. Därpå gick han direkt vidare till Operaskolan. Efter bara en termin kom erbjudandet att få sjunga Papageno i Mozarts ”Trollflöjten” vid en riksteaterturné. Efter premiären den 6 februari 1955 var samtliga recensenter eniga om att något mycket stort var på gång. Några månader senare stod Ingvar Wixell på Operans scen. Sedan kom glansrollerna slag i slag, greven i ”Figaros bröllop”, ”Don Juan”, Markisen av Posa i Verdis ”Don Carlos” till exempel. Ingvar Wixell räknades snabbt in i det så kallade järngänget på Operan, med kolleger som Kerstin Meyer, Elisabeth Söderström, Barbro Ericson, Margareta Hallin, Erik Sædén och Ragnar Ulfung. Med en sådan röst gick Ingvar Wixell också snabbt på export. Så kom det sig att han vid sin debut utomlands sjöng sin första Rigoletto på Staatsoper i München (1960) och först några månader senare i Stockholm.
Hos oss blev framträdandena alltmer sällsynta och i mitten av 1960-talet blev Wixell anställd vid Deutsche Oper i Västberlin. Efter ridåfall kunde han få uppåt femtio inropningar av en begeistrad publik. Wixell drog från världsmetropolerna till olika skivstudior. Alla gästspel gav hans jobb en sorts professionell rotlöshet. Han flyttade till Monaco med kvartersgrannarna Björn Borg, Mats Wilander och Ingemar Stenmark. Att uppträda med tenorkollegerna Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti och José Carreras blev vardagsmat och när någon av dem stack upp brukade barytonen Ingvar Wixell spela tenoren Jussi Björlings sång för dem. Det sägs att de blev tysta då.
Liksom Björling uppträdde Wixell i svenska folkparker. Då sjöng han gärna Birger Sjöbergs ”Fridas visor”. Till hans folklighet bidrog att Ingvar Wixell vid den svenska uttagningen av Melodifestivalen år 1965 framförde samtliga tävlingsbidrag. Vid finalen i Neapel kammade Wixell hem en tionde plats med det ovanliga bidraget ”Annorstädes vals” av den klassiske tonsättaren Dag Wirén.

En vecka efter tävlingen gjorde jag en ny träningsrunda. Det har varit kallt i veckan och så idag, knappt 10 grader. 10 km fick det bli på goda 1.04,0 och en något annorlunda väg än tidigare. Det blev ett bra träningspass känns det som. Tidigare idag städade jag lägenheten när resten av familjen var och simmade, så nu är det rent och snyggt i stort sett överallt. Åtminstone tills dess ungarna kommer hem igen.

För alla oss svenskar är det naturligtvis fantastiskt att en svensk åter har fått Nobelpriset och i literatur dessutom. Poeten Tomas Tranströmer är det som får priset för ett livslångt verk. Han är idag 80 år och skrev så sent som 2004 fortfarande dikter och hade då varit verksam i 50 år. Hans verk har översatts till mer än 60 språk.
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2011 is awarded to the Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer because, through his condensed, translucent images, he gives us fresh access to reality.

On the morning of 8 April 1982, an image counter to the laws of nature appeared in Dan Shechtman's electron microscope. In all solid matter, atoms were believed to be packed inside crystals in symmetrical patterns that were repeated periodically over and over again. For scientists, this repetition was required in order to obtain a crystal.
Shechtman's image, however, showed that the atoms in his crystal were packed in a pattern that could not be repeated. Such a pattern was considered just as impossible as creating a football using only six-cornered polygons, when a sphere needs both five- and six-cornered polygons. His discovery was extremely controversial. In the course of defending his findings, he was asked to leave his research group. However, his battle eventually forced scientists to reconsider their conception of the very nature of matter.
Aperiodic mosaics, such as those found in the medieval Islamic mosaics of the Alhambra Palace in Spain and the Darb-i Imam Shrine in Iran, have helped scientists understand what quasicrystals look like at the atomic level. In those mosaics, as in quasicrystals, the patterns are regular - they follow mathematical rules - but they never repeat themselves.
When scientists describe Shechtman's quasicrystals, they use a concept that comes from mathematics and art: the golden ratio. This number had already caught the interest of mathematicians in Ancient Greece, as it often appeared in geometry. In quasicrystals, for instance, the ratio of various distances between atoms is related to the golden mean.
Following Shechtman's discovery, scientists have produced other kinds of quasicrystals in the lab and discovered naturally occurring quasicrystals in mineral samples from a Russian river. A Swedish company has also found quasicrystals in a certain form of steel, where the crystals reinforce the material like armor. Scientists are currently experimenting with using quasicrystals in different products such as frying pans and diesel engines.

In 1998, cosmology was shaken at its foundations as two research teams presented their findings. Headed by Saul Perlmutter, one of the teams had set to work in 1988. Brian Schmidt headed another team, launched at the end of 1994, where Adam Riess was to play a crucial role.
The research teams raced to map the Universe by locating the most distant supernovae. More sophisticated telescopes on the ground and in space, as well as more powerful computers and new digital imaging sensors (CCD, Nobel Prize in Physics in 2009), opened the possibility in the 1990s to add more pieces to the cosmological puzzle.
The teams used a particular kind of supernova, called type Ia supernova. It is an explosion of an old compact star that is as heavy as the Sun but as small as the Earth. A single such supernova can emit as much light as a whole galaxy. All in all, the two research teams found over 50 distant supernovae whose light was weaker than expected - this was a sign that the expansion of the Universe was accelerating. The potential pitfalls had been numerous, and the scientists found reassurance in the fact that both groups had reached the same astonishing conclusion.
For almost a century, the Universe has been known to be expanding as a consequence of the Big Bang about 14 billion years ago. However, the discovery that this expansion is accelerating is astounding. If the expansion will continue to speed up the Universe will end in ice.
The acceleration is thought to be driven by dark energy, but what that dark energy is remains an enigma - perhaps the greatest in physics today. What is known is that dark energy constitutes about three quarters of the Universe. Therefore the findings of the 2011 Nobel Laureates in Physics have helped to unveil a Universe that to a large extent is unknown to science. And everything is possible again.

This year's Nobel Laureates have revolutionized our understanding of the immune system by discovering key principles for its activation.
Scientists have long been searching for the gatekeepers of the immune response by which man and other animals defend themselves against attack by bacteria and other microorganisms. Bruce Beutler and Jules Hoffmann discovered receptor proteins that can recognize such microorganisms and activate innate immunity, the first step in the body's immune response. Ralph Steinman discovered the dendritic cells of the immune system and their unique capacity to activate and regulate adaptive immunity, the later stage of the immune response during which microorganisms are cleared from the body.
The discoveries of the three Nobel Laureates have revealed how the innate and adaptive phases of the immune response are activated and thereby provided novel insights into disease mechanisms. Their work has opened up new avenues for the development of prevention and therapy against infections, cancer, and inflammatory diseases.
