Army Infantry Officer Nathaniel Carter took eight years off from running when he joined the service. He has been back for 19 weeks and that is clearly enough.
Carter surged to the front in the final five miles of a hotly-contested race to win the Garden of Life Palm Beaches Marathon Sunday in a Boston-qualifying time of 2:49:58 in blustery downtown West Palm Beach.  
“I didn’t expect it and I’m speechless,” said the 39-year-old husband and father of two. “It’s time for celebration.”  
Angela Carron of Milan, Michigan conversely was running her 144^th career marathon and it showed. She ran away from second-place finisher Beth Reed in the women’s Marathon in a time of 3:03:24, a margin that grew to 10 minutes.

Youth was on display in the Half Marathon as a battle of local 18-year-old high school seniors evolved, with Hobe Sound’s Joshua Flynn (1:19:58) outdueling North Palm Beach’s George Santana (1:20:41).
Laena Romand of Brooksville, CT, who finished second in this race in 2022 and third in 2019, won the women’s half-marathon in 1:24:10.
The USATF-certified event also included a half-marathon and marathon relays on Sunday, and a Sun Fun 5K and 10K races on Saturday. The event-record 4,600 runners came from 42 states and 28 countries to race over a flat course without bridges or hills known for allowing runners to record their best times on days when the winds doesn’t wreak the havoc it did in this edition of the race.
A nasty storm blew through the downtown area early Sunday hampering warm-ups and dampening streets. But it also provided a cool opening stretch before temperatures hovered at 72 degrees in late morning.
Carter ‘s last marathon came in 2016, which made it more amazing that Sunday’s race also produced the best time of his four career marathons.
Michael Watts of Islip, NY, who led much of the race but relinquished the lead at mile 21, was second (2:52:26) and Alberto Cruz Ortiz of Guyama, Puerto Rico, was third (2:55:17).
“I’ve been running now for 19 weeks,” Carter said. “At mile 21, I got a gut check. It was pretty hard. But I passed a guy and I didn’t know I took the lead unit a cop told me I was in first place.”
The windy and on-and-off rain was paradise for Carron, in town for a winter work retreat for her job as director of operations for Epic Run of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The 46-year-old runs 80 miles a week and is “always ready for a marathon.”  Last month she set her PR (2:58) in Detroit, and she’ll run the Boston Marathon in April.
“I love the rain, I don’t mind it,” said the veteran marathoner who along with the entire field endured a downpour as the race was set to begin. “This is my sweet spot.”
“No one in my family runs,” said Carron, who has run the Boston Marathon 10 times. “My Mom usually calls and asks ‘did you win’?” I can’t wait to tell her I won.”
With his Dad and brother watching him win his first career Half Marathon, Flynn collapsed at the finish line and needed several minutes to recover. The win was hard-earned for the Cardinal Newman product after the duel with Santana, who attends Dwyer High School. Flynn had not beaten Santana during the recent cross country season.
“The wind was pretty bad at first and I was freezing in the first mile, but then I got in the rhythm and felt good,” said Flynn.
With the two running neck-and-neck into Mile 10, Flynn decided to take off and he ended up with a time that was 10 minutes better than his PR.
“The 5K is my strong suit, but with three miles to go I started kicking,” he said. “And the last two miles I was dead.”
Despite losing to his friend and high school rival, Santana was not downcast with the second-place finish. He finished 17^th as a 16-year-old in 2022, was 4^th a year ago and improved again with this year’s 2^nd place finish.
“I stuck with (Flynn) until my head started hurting at the 10-minute mark,” he said. “Other than that, it was a good race. This is my third time in the race, and each time I’ve improved. I’ve been progressing.”
Romond was not initially scheduled to run the Half Marathon. She has wintered in Wellington for several years for her job as an equestrian rider and trainer at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center.
“Our schedule is very busy,” she said. “At the last minute, my morning looked fine. I decided to jump in and do the run. It’s a nice holiday race. Even though it was a little rainy and breezy, overall it was a pretty nice day to run.”
The weekend event benefitted Special Olympics Florida, which serves over 60,000 athletes statewide.
Caron summed it all up best.
“I love it here,” said the Michigan resident. “The ocean is beautiful. It’s just really crazy to me. I wonder what it’s like to live in paradise. I absolutely love it.”

Tracing Electrons, a documentary premiering on 30 December on Duna TV, delves into the remarkable life of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ferenc Krausz. For the first time, the scientist shares his life story, offering viewers a candid look at the journey of a humble yet determined man driven by curiosity and a passion for discovery.
The film highlights Krausz’s revolutionary work in visualizing electrons, a breakthrough that has opened new horizons in science and promises to impact humanity’s future. As director Gábor István Kiss explains, Krausz’s life is a testament to perseverance and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. ‘He has a vision and uses the Nobel Prize spotlight to amplify the significance of his achievements,’ Kiss stated, following a press screening of the film.
Krausz’s upbringing in the Hungarian town of Mór instilled in him the discipline and resilience that underpinned his scientific success. His achievements demonstrate how years of dedication and inquiry can answer some of theoretical physics’ most complex questions. However, as Kiss emphasized, the Nobel Prize is not the culmination of Krausz’s journey. Instead, it is a milestone, paving the way for advancements in medical diagnostics and other fields that could improve lives worldwide.
The film takes viewers to various locations that shaped Krausz’s life, from his attosecond lab in Saudi Arabia to research hubs in Munich, Washington, and Szeged. It even captures personal moments, such as Krausz jogging in his rare leisure time, to provide an intimate portrait of the man behind the discoveries.
Reflecting on the filmmaking process, Krausz admitted initial discomfort but grew to appreciate the potential of the project. ‘The film carries a message that goes beyond showcasing my work and daily life. It can inspire and motivate others,’ he noted. Despite global acclaim, Krausz remains grounded, attributing his success to collaboration and the mentors who enriched his journey.
The physicist shared a poignant insight drawn from Ernő Rubik: the importance of asking the right questions. ‘For me, it has always been about finding the problems and questions that could drive me for decades,’ Krausz explained, encouraging young scientists to seek their own compass in the form of fundamental questions.
Tracing Electrons not only chronicles Krausz’s scientific achievements but also highlights the values of dedication, curiosity, and humility. As the film’s producer, Lajos Tamás, and cinematographer, Dávid Gajdics, combine cinematic artistry with powerful storytelling, the documentary offers a celebration of science and its capacity to inspire.
In a heartfelt gesture, Krausz donated the signed poster of the film to the public media’s Jónak lenni jó! charity campaign, reflecting his belief in giving back to society.

Launched in 2009, Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and remains the most widely traded today.
It was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, a name believed to be a pseudonym for an individual or group, though their true identity remains unknown.
In 2010, Bitcoin was a groundbreaking but largely experimental digital currency, valued at just fractions of a cent.
Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer and early Bitcoin advocate, made history by purchasing two Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins.
At the time, the transaction was worth roughly $41. Today, those 10,000 Bitcoins are valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, illustrating the extraordinary rise in Bitcoin’s value over the past decade.
Far from regretting the transaction, Hanyecz is celebrated as a trailblazer who showcased Bitcoin’s practical use at a time when its future was highly uncertain.
This transaction marked a turning point for crypto commerce, showcasing the practical application of cryptocurrencies in everyday transactions.
Since the groundbreaking pizza purchase, Bitcoin’s role in commerce has grown remarkably. Here’s a look at how crypto commerce has progressed over time:
After that initial transaction, early Bitcoin adopters began using the digital currency for a variety of goods and services. From funding software development to buying items on online forums, Bitcoin steadily established itself as a viable medium of exchange.
As of the latest check on CoinGecko, one Bitcoin is valued at $102,175.
