Insanity has been described as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. If you love to exercise regularly and follow a favorite routine, but find that you aren't achieving the results you used to, it might be time to switch up your exercise program.
It's important to remember that exercise is simply physical stress applied to the body. According to Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS), when a stress is applied to the body it first goes into shock as it adapts to the stress. This is when exercise is most effective and you are most likely to experience the greatest results. However, when the same exercise stimulus is applied over a period of time, the body adapts and experiences compensation, which means that doing the same exercise routine over and over will not yield the same results.
Many people start a program only to stop when they don't experience immediate weight loss. Don't be concerned—weight loss will occur, but it will take time and commitment to achieve. The primary goal of starting an exercise program should first be to find an activity that is fun and enjoyable. Once you've been successful at making exercise a regular habit for a period of two to three months, you can turn your attention to achieving specific goals.
The two most important things about exercise are consistency and variety. Consistency is essential because the greatest benefits occur when exercise is performed on a frequent, regular basis. Variety simply means that to work best, the type of exercise you do should change on a regular basis so that your body stays challenged.
Listed below are five specific ways to boost your fitness program and make 2013 your healthiest, fittest year yet. Perhaps opening up your mind to new exercise experiences could help you find a new favorite hobby or even meet that special someone who will be your fitness buddy for the rest of your life.
1. Set a goal to have a unique fitness experience
Rather than the standard goal of "lose weight and tone up," choose a goal that is fun, challenging and stretches your comfort zone. For example, instead of training for a traditional road race, sign up for an obstacle-course race or a mud run where races are usually held off-road on dirt trails and feature obstacles such as mud pits and monkey bars. Or you can try one of the latest fitness trends, such as stand up paddleboard yoga (SUP) or mixed martial arts. Not only are these fun activities, but they are great workouts for the entire body, so take some time to search for classes in your area.
2. Stop counting your reps and start challenging yourself with sets for time.
Counting reps is so Pumping Iron. Not to put down the ultimate weightlifting movie of all time, but in the second decade of the 21st century, doing sets for time (instead of counting reps) is a sure-fire way to give your training program an immediate boost. The Tabata protocol, which features 20 seconds of maximal intensity work output combined with 10 seconds of rest for eight cycles, has helped popularized the idea of performing sets for time. After a complete warm-up, select your favorite exercise with a moderate-to-heavy load, set your countdown timer for 20 seconds and try to push out as many reps as possible. Start with a 2-to-1 rest-to-work ratio (if working for 20 seconds, rest for 40 seconds) and do your sets of time. Try linking a number of exercises that alternate body parts (legs, back, chest, arms) or movement patterns (squat, upper-body pull, lunge, upper-body push) and work up to cranking out a number of sets for time before taking a rest. This is an excellent way to boost the calorie-burning effect of your workouts.
3. Make exercise a social experience by participating in a group
One challenging thing about making the time to exercise is that it often takes away from other fun activities. If you think working out alone is boring, or you need additional motivation to get to the gym, try a group fitness class or join a small-group training program. Many health clubs offer group fitness classes as a part of the membership, and if you aren't taking them then you're missing on the added social benefits of working out with others. Small-group training is a fee-based training program focused on a specific format, piece of equipment or outcome-based goal and features a smaller participant-to-instructor ratio than traditional group fitness classes. If you currently take classes, you already know the group dynamic can make exercise especially fun. If that's the case, try a couple of new class formats to find a new favorite.
4. Play. Life is too serious—exercise should be about having fun.
Playtime is not just for kids anymore. Thanks to numerous research studies showing that skill-based games are an effective method of conditioning, many athletes in sports such as soccer, rugby and hockey are using competitive games to make their training more intense and engaging. When compared to using traditional cardio and strength equipment, playing games can burn additional calories because the exerciser moves in response to his or her opponents. Games for exercise have even shown an improvement in the neurotransmitters responsible for improved cognitive function, which means that you could be getting smarter while losing weight! Ask your friends to join you for a pick-up game of your favorite sport or look for a local sports league to get out and make new friends while burning calories.
5. Rest and recovery—muscles don't get stronger during the training session. They get stronger and grow after your workouts.
To get the most from your workouts, you need to develop a post-training nutrition, hydration and relaxation strategy to help your body rest, recover and recharge. Top athletes understand that what they do after their workouts will help them experience the greatest adaptations to their training program. The U.S. Olympic Training Center has an entire program dedicated to post-workout recovery for its athletes. To experience the greatest benefits, it is important to copy what the pros do and have the right nutrition and rest strategies to recover from exercise stress. Nutrient timing refers to taking in the right amount of carbohydrates and protein (research suggests a 4-to-1 carb-to-protein ratio) within the first 30 minutes post-exercise, which can have the greatest effect on replacing spent muscle glycogen and promoting growth of muscle protein. Getting a full night's sleep can help your body repair muscles used in the workouts. Alternatively, skipping sleep can increase levels of the hormone cortisol, which can reduce levels of protein available for muscle growth. Allow yourself to take at least one full day a week off from exercise and treat yourself to the occasional massage or spa day to rejuvenate your muscles. Your body will thank you.
No matter which type of program you follow, workouts should be changed approximately every 12 to 16 weeks. Each season lasts approximately 13 weeks, so make a commitment to yourself to change your exercise program when the season changes. Doing so will help you avoid dreaded plateaus, while continuing to experience results throughout the year.

A line from Notorious New Jersey that I've been thinking about since last week's corruption sweep: Jon Blackwell noted that when the governor asked residents to suggest new slogan for the state back in 2006, someone proposed "Most of Our Elected Officials Have Not Been Indicted." How long would that one have been true even if it hadn't lost to "New Jersey, Come See for Yourself"?

Oh is this a great processor. Lots of controls functionality and the sound is excellent.
Review: Integra DHC-80.3 A/V Controller
How long have Integra's A/V preamplifier/processors been around? Long enough to become a bit of an institution among home theater insiders. If you were assembling a serious system and demanded legitimately audio/videophile performance in every aspect but were unable or unwilling to pay the sometimes absurd prices asked for "seriously high-end" gear, an Integra pre/pro is what you bought.
That situation is unlikely to change with the DHC-80.3, the latest flagship preamp/processor from Integra (sister brand of Onkyo). The Integra DHC-80.3 raises the performance bar with a few choice new tech nuggets, and it holds the value bar fairly fast with a substantial but un-ridiculous price that's some $400 less than the company's equivalent A/V receiver model, the DTR-80.3. (Absent the onboard power, the two are virtually identical.)
The lead story for the 80.3 is video processing. The new Integra is the first mainstream A/V component to incorporate "4K" video processing. Or, at least, 4K-ish: The Integra can upscale high- and standard-def video to the 3,840 x 2,160-pixels QFHD (Quad Full HD) format. This simple quadrupling of 1080p video is one of the formats (along with 4,096 x 2,160-rez Digital Cinema 4K) that come under the general "4K" heading.
There's no shortage of online chatter about whether QFHD is the real deal or simply "faux-K," as some wags would have it. In the meantime, neither I nor you (probably) can display any 4K flavor at home (though this is now changing, with a very few high-dollar projectors arriving from Sony, JVC, and others), so it is currently a moot question for us mortals. But Integra's inclusion of 4K video scaling in the DHC-80.3 was a forward-thinking move.
The new Integra proved no more daunting to set up than any high-line A/V receiver, though the process was a bit lengthy due to its many options. One such is its inclusion of Audyssey MultEQ XT32, the flagship version of the firm's built-in auto-calibration/room-correction processing, which uses data acquisition from as many as 8 calibration-mike positions to deliver greater digital-EQ precision.
Before diving in, I first linked up HDMI and other necessary cables, including a tangle of seven audio interconnects to my power amps: a 5 x 200-watt unit supplemented by my ancient (but still hale) 2 x 100-watt Apt One for the front-height channels. For the front LCR channel trio, I chose to use the Integra's balanced-line (XLR) outputs — which are supplied for all 9.2 channels — mostly because this is virtually the only distinction between the DHC-80.3 and the DTR-80.3 A/V receiver, which lacks balanced outs. (I don't feel strongly about balanced connections for short-run, line-level hookups since the balanced line's principal virtue is rejection of induced hum and noise over long-length, very low level microphone cable runs. But hey, it was there, so I used it.)
My "long version" Audyssey setup took a full 30 minutes to complete, but the results were hard to dispute. MultEQ XT32 set the Integra DHC-80.3 pre/pro for a 40-Hz main-channels crossover, and 50 Hz for center and surrounds, all of which reflect honest assessments of my speakers' abilities. It's the first cal-bot I've found to be quite so accurate. The Room EQ results were recognizable from many a previous Audyssey setup in my room: incrementally "clearer" and "quicker" midrange, smoother treble, and tighter, more articulate bass. It works, and, I have to say, it works well.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? An Indiana law that bans registered sex offenders from accessing Facebook and other social networking sites that can be accessed by children is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The 7th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Chicago overturned a federal judge's decision upholding the law, saying the "blanket ban" was too broad and didn't protect children.
"It broadly prohibits substantial protected speech rather than specifically targeting the evil of improper communications to minors," the judges said in a 20-page decision.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt ruled in June that the state has a strong interest in protecting children and found that social networking had created a "virtual playground for sexual predators to lurk." She noted that the Internet remains open to those who have been convicted of sex offenses.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed the class-action suit on behalf of a man who served three years for child exploitation and other sex offenders who are restricted by the ban even though they are no longer on probation.
Federal judges have barred similar laws in Nebraska and Louisiana.
Officials at the ACLU and the Indiana attorney general's office said they hadn't yet reviewed the ruling and had no immediate comment.

"What I'm Reading" is a series about books I'm reading that I may or may not review later
What I'm reading: Carry the One (Simon & Schuster, 253 pp., $25), by Carol Anshaw.
What it is: A novel about three adult siblings named after opera characters and how they fare in the 25 years after an operatic event in the first chapter: A car full of drunken and stoned guests who are leaving one of their weddings strikes and kills a 10-year-old girl.
Why I'm reading it: I admire Anshaw's literary criticism, which won the Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing from the National Book Critics Circle. Not all critics make good novelists. But some of best fiction in English has come from writers who were great book reviewers, including George Eliot and Virginia Woolf.
Quotes from the book: No. 1: "Olivia's family was an epicenter of credit card frivolity." No. 2: "Not just in this moment, but globally, cosmically, she had lost her advantage against daily life."
Probability that I will review the book: High
Publication date: April 2012
Read an excerpt from Carry the One.

We may send you marketing communications that are sponsored by our partners and which are targeted to your interests based on information you have provided us such as job title, employer and/or industry. If you have consented to receive information from other Euromoney group companies, we may share your personal data with these companies so that they can fulfil your request to receive marketing materials in accordance with your preferences. We will not share your personal data with any third parties for their own marketing purposes unless you have provided your consent.
Each of the Euromoney group companies that may contact you is a data controller in relation to the personal data that you have agreed to share with them. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact the individual company, or us – using the contact details set out in the "Who We Are" section.
You can opt out from receiving such materials at any time.
The personal data we may use for advertising and marketing purposes includes your name, email address, job title, phone number, company name/employer, geo location, postal address and data collected using cookies and other similar technology (Please read our separate Cookies Policy to find out more about which cookies we use, how they work and how you can control your cookie options).
Marketing materials are sent electronically, by post and we may occasionally call you.
Online Targeted Advertising
We use targeted advertising on our websites to display advertisements that are relevant to what we believe are your interests. In order to deliver relevant advertisements, we use third parties to deliver cookies that collect information about your IP address and how you interact with our sites (e.g. browsing information, which articles you have read etc.). This data is used by the third parties to determine which advertisements may be of interest to you.
We may also share your personal data with third parties to deliver targeted advertising to you on other websites (e.g. Twitter Tailored Audiences or Facebook Custom Audiences). This could include your email address, cookie data, and information obtained from third parties. Third party cookies may also be used to enable us to target advertisements to you on other websites that you visit.
Lead Generation and Scoring
We occasionally use the services of trusted third parties in order to ensure that the personal data we use for advertising and marketing purposes is accurate and up-to-date. To do this, we transfer personal data of individual leads (such as name, email, job title, location and phone number) to these third parties who conduct research to verify the data – primarily against public information.
We also use algorithmic software technology to help us improve the quality and relevance of marketing activities. The personal data analysed by the software includes email address, phone number, job title, address, purchase history and account information. This allows us to provide meaningful offers that are relevant to your specific profile.
Surveys, Market Research & Customer Feedback
We want to understand the needs of our readers and customers. We may therefore use the information you provide us – including your name and contact details – to contact you to request your feedback, or to participate in our customer and market research.
Public forums, message boards and blogs
Some of the pages on our group websites may include message boards, blogs or other facilities for generating content from users. Any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should always be careful when deciding to post any personal data. User generated content is also subject to our site .
Business or Asset Sale
If we sell a business or assets we may need to disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer of such business or assets.
If Euromoney, or any of our group companies is sold or sells our assets or is acquired by a third party, then personal data about our customers will be acquired by that third party. A transfer of your personal data in these circumstances would be necessary so that the services you have contracted for can still be delivered, or so that you can continue to enjoy the benefits of our free products and services. You will receive notice if a new controller assumes responsibility for your personal data.
Additional Third Party Disclosures
We may disclose your personal data to other third parties in the following situations:
- To third party partners who help us by providing services such as technology, marketing, advisory or other services. These third parties only receive encrypted data and may only process personal data to provide those services to us.
- Where we are required by law or regulation to do so. In each case we will seek, where practicable, to minimise the amount of data that is disclosed.
- If required to protect the rights and interests of other users and/or Euromoney and its affiliates (including our employees, agents and contractors), or as otherwise set out in our . This may include exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection.
Email Tracking
We may include small pixel tags (small image files) within the emails we send you in order to determine whether our emails are opened and/or whether the hyperlinks inside our emails are clicked through. We may also collect browser, location and the device used to engage with our email communications. This information allows us to better understand whether we are meeting our users' needs and how we can improve our communications. No other information is collected. You can opt out of receiving our direct marketing emails either by following the instructions in each email, or by contacting us (see the "Who We Are" section of this Privacy Notice).
International Transfers
Some of the Euromoney group companies are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA). If you have consented to being contacted by our group companies, then the transfer of your personal data will be made according to the terms of an international data sharing agreement that contains obligations approved by European data protection regulators. Any of our group companies that receive your personal data will be co-controllers of that data, which means they may determine how they process your personal data – although they may only use it for the purposes for which it was shared, unless you are informed of new or additional processing activities.
We may also transfer personal data to third party service providers as described in this Privacy Notice which are located outside the EEA. Where we conduct these transfers, we take all steps necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with applicable privacy legislation, either by only sending your personal data to jurisdictions that provide an adequate degree of legal protection for your data or by imposing approved contractual terms on these third parties.
Retention Periods
We have a data retention policy that ensures we don't use or store your personal data for longer than necessary. We consider the following issues to determine retention periods:
- Guidance from the UK Information Commissioner or other regulatory agency, or industry best practice recommendations;
- The business rationale for collection and expiry of the purpose for which personal data was collected;
- Our ongoing ability to ensure the accuracy of the data; and
- Legal and regulatory requirements.
We may occasionally need to keep personal data for either shorter or longer periods than specified in our retention policy. In such circumstances, application of the retention period to the data will be temporarily suspended. The suspension of an applicable retention period will be carried out in a manner that respects the rights and interests of all persons concerned.
How You Can Set Your Data & Privacy Preferences
You can use our Preference Centre to select the topics that are of interest to you so that we can send you publications and information about our products and services that are especially relevant to you. You can also choose the channels we use to contact you (email, phone, post, etc.) and can also opt-out of receiving marketing communications.

Copies of your personal data will be made available to you in a structured, machine-readable format.
You may also request that we transfer the personal data that you have submitted to us, to another controller, where it is technically feasible for us to do so.
If you have consented to our processing of your personal data, or if we are processing your personal data in order to fulfil our contractual obligations to you, then you can submit a request that we transfer your personal data to another data controller.

Love of country: a barn-style Ohio home
Barn charm
As if made to fit, a salvaged wood sign reading 1949 hangs between two thick white oak posts in Deb and Ed Dick's soaring great-room. "That's the year of our birth," Deb says of one of her favorite antique finds. "It just happened to fit perfectly in that walkway."Perfect matches are a dominant theme throughout the couple's timber frame home in Kenton, Ohio, 65 miles northwest of Columbus. Click ahead to read how clever construction serves the couple's needs for wheelchair accessibility within barn-style design. Find a buying guide on slide 12.
Natural matches
The three-story white barn sits on a lush meadow that was once a sheep farm. Fieldstone salvaged from an Ohio barn and white fiber-cement siding create a modern barn exterior. A weather vane on the cupola pays homage to the property's former farm life.Inside, white walls and unfinished beams form a natural canvas for a collection of folk art and 18th- and 19th-century antiques.The owners, who've known each other since seventh grade and dated since high school, have that made-for-each-other glow as they affectionately share stories about their childhood together, Ed's adventures in the 1970s as a crew chief with the Blue Angels (the Navy's exhibition flight team) and recent moments playing with grandkids in their dream home.
Open design
Hosting family gatherings is easy in the open layout, which, more importantly, fosters Deb's independence. After complications of a blood clot left her in a wheelchair, she required a home with universal design. Architect Kent Thompson and Riverbend Timber Framing in Blissfield, Michigan, helped meld the aesthetics of a century-old barn with functionality. "I didn't want to sacrifice style for accessibility," Deb says.Rustic wood tones mix with white walls and trim and mostly neutral furnishings. Touches of muted reds, oranges, browns and blues blend with the soft backdrop. "I knew I wanted it to be light and bright and neutral," Deb says.Large windows cover almost every wall. "We oriented the house to the south to take advantage of natural light," Kent says. Flooring of reclaimed barn beams adds farmhouse character. The great-room's focal point, a double-sided fireplace, extends to the 30-foot ceiling, separating the dining and living areas yet leaving wide walkways.
Unexpected accents
Painted wood tiles form a checkerboard floor in the breezeway. Decorative details, such as a fish weather vane ornament hanging from a transom, delight throughout the house.
Designed for displays
A blue corner cabinet and adjacent pantry store vintage vessels.A collection of primitive antiques-bird and dog sculptures, woven baskets, quilts and even a dress form wearing an apron-fills the house like a museum (but one that encourages touching)."I buy things that make me smile and feel happy when I look at them," Deb says. She and Ed frequent antiques shows such as the Heartland Antiques Show and the Pure and Simple Show, both in Indiana. The couple's passion for collecting outgrew their home, so they sell some finds at Jeffrey's Antique Gallery in nearby Findlay.
Nooks and crannies
Custom cubbies display unusual finds: "I have a thing for nooks and crannies and cubby holes," Deb Dick says.
Farm art
A pitchfork becomes art between windows.
Antiques show
Statement pieces, such as a wine-barrel-stave chandelier and a 19th-century clock, add drama in the dining room.The displays of antiques and the barnlike architecture blend with thoughtful universal design elements. Wide doorways and big, open rooms accommodate Deb's chair. (An elevator, with vertical wood siding, goes between all three floors.)
Accessible kitchen
Designing a fully accessible kitchen was the biggest challenge, but clever modifications allow Deb to use the prep areas and appliances. In fact, many of the design decisions make cooking easier for everyone. Appliances, such as dishwasher drawers and a side-opening wall oven, are easy to reach. "Even if I wasn't in a wheelchair, the kitchen would be perfect," Deb says.White Shaker-style cabinets and a secondary island with a wood countertop repeat the colors and materials used in the adjoining great-room. "This simple design works well with the barn styling of the home," says kitchen designer Phyllis Craver. The kitchen wouldn't be complete without a few antiques: pig bread boards displayed next to the cooktop and a wooden sheep statue standing guard near a side door.
Vintage find
An antique dry sink (from the days when an outdoor water pump was used) becomes a console table."I didn't want my house to look like anyone else's house," Deb says. "I wanted it to look like me."
Master bedroom color
Lime green accents give this lower-level master bedroom an energizing jolt of color.
Accommodating bath
A raised vanity in the sleek, contemporary master bath leaves plenty of room for a wheelchair.
Outdoor living
A detached screen porch modeled after a corn crib takes advantage of sunshine and meadow views.

There are a few possible reasons.
1) Our alerts with new homes went out so fast, the rest of the site did not update fast enough. I suggest Googling the MLS#.
Or 2) The home is no longer available (withdrawn).

Lauren Bradley recently graduated from the Pratt School of Information & Library Science in Manhattan. She is a library assistant at the Leo Baeck Institute. She enjoys costume librarianship, database searching, and government documents. Follow her on Twitter @BibliosaurusRex
A number of us Hack Library School readers and writers have finished library school recently, but our education is far from over. Many of us have criticized what we feel was lacking in our LIS schooling (and in fact, was the very inspiration for this blog!) In order to become the most competitive job candidates we can be (and to remain relevant as our careers progress) we must continue learning far after graduation day. A personal anecdote: my cousin went to library school in 1999, which was really not that long ago. Two years later, Google was launched and changed the way the world interacted with information. Here are some ideas on how to keep learning:
Develop your skill sets – Librarian positions require a wide diversity of skills, many of which aren't taught in library school (and even the ones that are, often are taught in a theoretical sense that doesn't really stick). Revisit Annie's self-assesment post for discovering what skills you lack for the positions you wish to hold. At this point int time, tech skills are invaluable. Mashable recently had a post about free resources for learning programming languages. For a more formal learning setting, community colleges are a good place for technology courses, and don't forget to look into auditing courses at your alma mater(s). Don't be afraid to venture outside of the library community; there are many free or cheap courses by community groups aimed at other types of professionals.
Look for leadership development programs – Apply for a leadership development program like the ones held by ALA and SLA, among many other professional organizations. Your local chapter may have their own program. Leadership programs don't need to be library-specific; if you work at a large institution, your workplace may have a leadership or mentoring program in place. Another idea is to find a librarian fellowship. IMLS and Library of Congress both offer fellowships, although there are many others to be had, especially in the special libraries. These are a good way for new librarians to gain experience with a short time commitment (typically 6 months to a year).
Stay connected – Nicole wrote tips on how to stay connected last week, but I want to reiterate the importance. The library world is very small and it's important to make connections in the field. These connections may help you land a job or create a partnership across institutions. Being connected will also keep you on top of emerging issues in our field and help you identify emerging skill sets (back to point one; we need to stay on top of these in order to remain relevant).
Do free work – Most of us did free work throughout library school in the form of internships or volunteer work and it seems most unappealing to go back to. However, continuing to do free work can help you network, expand your skill set, and get out of the rut of your own institution's workflow. Get more involved with professional organizations, either on the local or national level. Join committees, attend meetings, or volunteer your time. However, free work doesn't need to be a hardcore commitment– one of the technical services librarians at my work volunteers once a month at a local charity bookstore. It allows her to give back to the community while at the same it gives her the chance to work with the public (something she doesn't do at our library) and work with popular titles (we are a specialized academic research library). Volunteering with a book sale, literacy project, or a Friends of the Library group is an easy commitment to make and uphold.
Publish – Although publishing is only really required for academic librarians, it never hurts to have a few citations of your own work on your resume and portfolio. The thought of publishing may seem terrifying, but remember, we do hold master's degrees! It is completely appropriate to try to publish, particularly in the library and information science field. If there is a particular student piece you wrote that you feel really good about, try approaching your professors and asking for help to whip it into publishing shape. They may also have connections with editors at various journals. Unless you are on the tenure-track, consider publishing in journals that aren't peer-reviewed, open access journals, or doing reviews. If you aren't ready for traditional publishing, start blogging. Don't be afraid to pitch ideas for posts at established blogs that accept guest bloggers (like this one!).
To start my own post-library school education, I am working with a former professor to get a piece published in a journal in our field, and will be sharpening my markup language skills this summer. How will you continue your library education?
