Zack Snyder talks Man of Steel
A more serious version of Superman that respects the mythology awaits fans, according to director Zack Snyder
Things have been looking good for Superman reboot, Man of Steel, of late. The first trailer, after all, went down well, and it appeared to strike a rather unexpected tone. Not a tone that you might expect from a Zack Snyder movie, too. We have, however, had the recent news that the film would receive a 3D post-production conversion, which shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise, but it doesn't seem as though this was something fans were screaming out for.
The latest piece of info from the production comes courtesy of Zack Snyder, who shared some thoughts in a recent interview with the LA Times. "It's a more serious version of Superman, we took the mythology seriously", he said. "We take him as a character seriously. I believe the movie would appeal to anyone. I think that you're going to see a Superman you've never seen before. We approached it as though no other films had been made."
We're not sure the Donner films were particularly light on the mythology, but nonetheless. "He's the king-daddy," continued Snyder. "Honestly that's why I wanted to do it. I'm interested in Superman because he's the father of all superheroes. He's this amazing ambassador for superheroes. What was it about him that cracked the code that made pop culture embrace this other mythology?"
"What we've made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story", he concluded. "It's been an honour to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes. I wanted to be sure the movie treated it respectfully".
There seems to be a fair amount of scepticism that Snyder would be respectful to the source when it was announced that he would be the director, but for the most part he's saying the right things. We'll see just how well he's done next June...

"There seems to be a fair amount of scepticism that Snyder would be respectful to the source".
Really? How has that conclusion been found? Considering he is renowned for sticking to source material. '300' and 'Watchmen' was basically a frame for frame copy of the graphic novels. And his Watchmen ending was arguably a better/realistic ending than the graphic novel.
The guy is clearly a fan boy and is he most likely about to produce a 'superhero' masterpiece.
I love his visual style and think he can definitely break away from the Donner movies with some confidence, however the worrying thing for me is Nolan's 'Guiding Hand'. We know what that means for the fantastic element of superheroes. I just hope Snyder was enough of his own man to listen but do his own thing and establish a credible baseline that allows classic villains to make an appearance further down the line.
I think we should trust them both. Nolan wont be completely hands on, he'll have a small role in terms of how the feel of film should play out. I think all we will see from him is that his influence has already worked for the trailers and this whole new 'serious/realistic' type of Superman film. The idea of 'how would we all react if this REALLY happened'.
Superman is going up against Zod in this film, I think we can expect some Snyder type action!
It's the serious/realistic balance that I'm worried about.
Whilst I can appreciate what Nolan did to make comic book movies more serious I think he went too far in making them realistic. To me realistic means plausible and the laws of any particular movie world should be plausible enough to allow certain fantastic conditions to exist.
Superman is fortunate enough that his laws are generally sci-fi/pseudo-science based so the appearance of different kinds of aliens and beings from other dimensions should be no problem, however it's long been established that he is powerless against magic, so it will be interesting if that gets referenced at all, though it's possibly unnecessary given that the majority of his regular foes fall into the previous category.
I guess my main worry is that as ardent hater of Nolan's Batman that those elements that spoiled his movies might also hold back this movie too.
I cant wait, I have never been a fan of supes as there is no point he can defeat everyone unless they are from his planet or they use kryptonite.
A character piece into what makes a superhero do what he does, using supes would be perfect
An ardent hater of Nolan's Batman? Aww, Omniaural, we getting so well until then! Haha
See, i really thought the 'realistic' approach worked for Batman, as he has no superpowers, and no one he faught had super powers. So that really was a case of (all be it over the top) it COULD just about be plausable.
I see what you mean though, the fact he is from an Alien planet, can fly etc, I dont think it's going to be realistic to the point of him not being able to fly, or Kryptonite not working anymore as its just 'a rock', I just mean in terms of the 'feel' of the film. We saw in the trailer him walking on his own trying to hitch hike, working on a fishing boat... that's the realistic tone Nolan is setting. But then we have the comicon trailer (have you seen it yet? Poor quality but good) where we see him flying about straight into that safe where can see, yep, that is Superman flying around! So, it will have a serious tone, but it's superman, you can't keep him grounded!
Great. Can we have a proper trailer now please. We've been waiting forever!
Sorry but have you not seen Inception or The Prestige both display an ability for fantasy done in a believable manner. Nolans interpretation of Batman IMO was one of the few ways it could go considering the bad taste left by Batman and Robin. Anyway look at Snyder's record with Watchmen the only fantasy bit left in was Dr Manatten. Was it a bad interpretation IMO no. It worked for the medium it was being displayed in.
Honestly I feel this film be fantastic, why? Because Snyder and Nolan have both shown that they can make brilliant films that translate from a comic book source.
It seems to me that some people are misinterpreting 'serious' or 'realistic' when referring to the approach to Superman. You can have a character like Superman or any of his enemies in a 'grounded' world. We think the idea of aliens and flying as 'unrealistic,' but that's only because we've never seen one or anyone do it. This doesn't mean there is not life on other planets and it doesn't mean that there isn't someone that can fly (no matter how ridiculous that seems to us). It seems to me that that is what they mean when they say 'serious,' in regards to this character - the whole "What if this were a real man and it was in THIS world?" I see this character being much more emotionally human, but with these amazing abilities and that's exactly how you ground Clark Kent/Superman. Show us our own humanity but contrast it by showing us our divinity, if you will. That's kind of the idea of Superman to begin with; Hope.
do the fail safe - go in knowing its going to be not what you want, and probably rubbish. You're then pleasantly surprised that it isn't god awful as you haven't listened to all the hype that made your expectations unrealistic for the last film you saw - SkyFail. Thanks media, "best Bond film ever" was the biggest lie ever told.
Most haters of Superman argue that he is too powerful and boring, what
they fail to realize is that Superman fights enemies that are just as
powerful if not stronger, making the stories larger than life and is
exactly what makes him so appealing.
Also, not all of his opponents can be defeated simply through brawn (such as his Arch-Enemy, Lex Luthor), and that his stories typically aren't about whether he wins or not.
I love Inception and Prestige (and Memento too!) but it's possibly because of these films that his Batman films fail to stand up. Yes his films are better than the previous set of movies in respect to their setting and general film-making ability but among other things they lost something crucial by admitting the fallibility of a regular human doing almost superhuman things and the toll it takes. To me that's just one of those things that you're supposed to not really think too hard about as once you start thinking like that then it closes more avenues than it opens.
I share your hope that this film will be great but I just don't want it to be too real. We've got Kick-Ass for that type of exploration. I'm encouraged that Snyder sees it as an adventure and I hope he gets that across.
Strangely I'm a big fan of his interpretation of Robin/Nightwing. If they were to update that character for future movies they could do worse than rely on TDKR as the origin for that character. For someone who apparently didn't like the idea of Robin (as Nolan has often stated) he's done a bang up job of giving him life in any future movie.
I haven't seen the comicon trailer, just the teaser and that was fine. I just worry that the imagination that these characters and their settings provide might be stifled when Marvel have shown that if you embrace it you can still have those extreme, outlandish characters that only have to make sense within the context of their movie universe to have an exciting film.
i'm skeptical because most of snyders movies have been embarrassing trainwrecks or godawfully boring.
oh, and that horrifyingly bad trailer.
i really enjoyed several of Nolan's films. i dont hate the batman movies (actually i hated and was embarrassed about the third) but there is definitely some magic, charm and wonder missing. I do not trust Snyder at all. That there are two people involved who shouldn't be let anywhere near this makes me sad, because it seems against all odds that they will make a superman movie that takes peoples breath away and makes kids want superman pyjamas. the trailer reinforces this sadness.
The problem for me wasn't that it admitted Batman's human fallibility. It was that they showed him to be fallible, but then changed their minds and made him superhuman again.
Dark Knight Rises, we see Wayne's joints are worn out, he can barely walk. So we think, wow, this is going to be a different kind of batman. He'll have to outsmart his enemies instead of punching them, or train a successor to do the action sequences while he takes a more backstage roll. Nope. He puts on a robot leg and goes right back to punchin.
Lex Luthor in the comics makes sense. Lex Luther in "Smallville" or that old "Lois and Clark -- Superman" with Dean Cain makes sense. There's subterfuge/public perception that means Supes can't just walk up to him and throw him in jail. Lex Luthor as some random bad guy who hides in a subway and hijacks nuclear missiles never really made much sense.

10 Reasons to Have Multiple Income Streams
Earning extra money on the side is no longer optional; it's necessary.
Building multiple streams of income is no longer a luxury, it has become a necessity. If the high rate of unemployment and mounting job losses have taught us anything, it is that nobody's job is safe. Unfortunately for most people, their only source of income is from their job, which can be a risky way to live. Some couples may be more fortunate and have a spouse bringing in money each month, but they are still relying on a job for their livelihood.
[In Pictures: 12 Money Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes]
Because of the financial risks involved with relying on a job for all of your incoming cash, it is critical to consider having at least one additional source of income. The list below details a few reasons why having several sources of money coming in is important and how this extra cash can be used.
Here are ten simple reasons why building multiple income streams is so important. Each item listed below is an example of how alternative income sources can be used to lesson the risk of living on a single income.
[Visit the U.S. News My Money blog for the best money advice from around the web.]
There is no magical limit as to the number of extra income streams you should create. Just as long as the time you spend maintaining them doesn't become too cumbersome and they produce positive cash flow. There are plenty of important benefits to creating many income streams to decrease your risk of having your main source of income suddenly dry up. Even if your alternative sources of income cannot cover your monthly expenses, they can at least help lessen the blow of a job loss or other unexpected expense. If you are lucky, these income streams could potentially do more than just supplementing your income and help fatten up your savings accounts.
Your thoughts: What other reasons it is critical to build multiple streams of income? Do you try to to do this?

Dinosaurs on the loose in Bradford this weekend
7:00am Saturday 5th April 2014 in Bradford
Dinosaurs are on the loose in Bradford this weekend.
Australian theatre company Erth presents an array of prehistoric creatures, from baby dinos to teeth-gnashing giants in a show called Dinosaur Zoo.
The dinosaurs – including a carnivorous theropod known as the Australovenator, based on the most complete meat-eating dinosaur skeleton found in Australia – are operated by skilled puppeteers and audience members are invited to get up close to the creatures. Director Scott Wright said: "It's much like you might see at a zoo or a wildlife park, but we have dinosaurs, from small babies to some of the largest ever found. We teach the audience aspects of animal husbandry and invite some members of the audience onto the stage to assist us with feeding and caring for our dinosaurs."
There is also an opportunity to meet the dinosaurs at 'meet and greet' sessions at the end of each show.
Dinosaur Zoo is on at St George's Hall until tomorrow. The box office is on (01274) 432000.

Another nuclear facility bites the dust at ORNL
Building 3503 wasn't pretty, at least not in its final days. Come to think of it, old nuclear facilities never are. But it's the latest structure on Oak Ridge National Laboratory's historic Central Campus -- where the Manhattan Project got going in a big way -- to bite the dust. 3503 came down last week.
The work isn't finished, of course. The debris has to hauled away, as part of the project being handled by Safety and Ecology Corp. (now part of Perma-Fix) as a piece of the 34-facilities D&D umbrella effort.
The contaminated debris from the ORNL demolition project will be transported to the CERCLA landfill in Oak Ridge, the Environmental Management Waste Management Facility in Bear Creek Valley.
According to ORNL spokesman Bill Cabage, Building 3503 was the former High Radiation Level Chemical Engineering Laboratory on White Oak Avenue. The barn-like structure was constructed in 1948, and it has been vacant about a decade, Cabage said.
In recent weeks, workers had removed the building's siding, leaving the superstructure like an open-air skeleton. The supports were removed last week, allowing the building to collapse and set the stage for site cleanup.
Thirty of the 34 buildings in the Miscellaneous Facilities Project have now been demolished, and the others are scheduled to be done sometime this spring.
A number of other EM projects funded by Recovery Act dollars are revving up and moving forward at ORNL.
Among those projects is to isolate the lab's 4500 Area from the Central Stack. According to information provided by DOE spokesman Mike Koentop, the $12.6 million project is being handled by UT-Battelle, the agency's managing contractor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The project will remove one of five cell ventilation branches in the Central Gaseous Waste System at ORNL and also remove several facilities -- Buildings 4501, 4505, and 4500 North -- from the central Hot Off-Gas System and the 3039 Stack.
"The project will reduce the risk of accidental release of airborne pollutants throught he aging Central Gas Waste System," Koentop said. The project is on schedule to be completed by July 2013, he said.
Recovery Act money also is being use to scope out and characterize the old Isotope Row at ORNL. Koentop said all scoping activities have been completed on Isotope Row. Oak Ridge Associated Universities is developing the planning documents, including waste-handling plans, he said.
"The project is on schedule and expected to be completed in FY13 on budget," Koentop said. The cost is about $4.5 million, he said.
UT-Batelle is performing the so-called "soils and slabs project," which is supposed to wrap up earlier work that took place in the northwest quadrant of the laboratory. The work involves removing slabs and conducting remedial activities following demolitions there. This work is due to be finished by late spring of this year, with a price tag of about $4.5 million.
SEC is continuing work on Building 3038. According to Koentop, asbestos abatement was completed on the main floor in mid-February. "All of the Phase I and Phase II legacy materials and legacy waste have been removed and packaged," he said. A readiness assessment for completing the more intrusive work was due to be completed in March, and the removal of legacy waste is to be done in August, he said.
"The cost and schedule for demoliton of the (3038) facility is still under review," Koentop said.

Rolf Breaks School Record at Mid-Con Championships
Saturday, October 29, 2005Freshman Laura Rolf (Rochester, Mich./Lutheran Northwest) ran a school-record 22:08.5 to finish in fourth place at the 6K Mid-Continent Conference Championships, leading Valpo to a third-place finish Saturday at Sunset Hills Farm.
Rolf's time was nearly 10 seconds better than the previous school-best and earned her Mid-Con Newcomer of the Year honors as the top freshman finisher. She also earned First Team All-Conference honors, the first Crusader to be so honored since 2000.
Danielle Nunnelly (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso), the 2003 Mid-Con Newcomer of the Year, earned Second Team All-Conference honors, finishing in ninth place with a time of 22:46.0. The junior placed herself on the Second Team for the third consecutive year.
Sophomore Rachel Button (Farmington Hills, Mich./Farmington) was the next Valpo finisher, coming in 17th and covering the 6K course in 23:11.2. The Crusaders lone senior, Jobeth Schmiesing (Mankato, Minn./West) then crossed the line, finishing 20th in 28:16.8. Ashley Billstrom (Hales Corner, Wis./Whitmall) was the fifth Valpo finisher, placing 24th in 23:47, ahead of Lisa Schroeck (Naperville, Ill./Benet Academy) and Lauren McLaughlin (Shoreview, Minn./Mounds View). Tami McDunn (Farmington, Minn./Farmington) and Carrie Waterman (Wheaton, Ill./North) rounded out the Valpo effort.
The third place finish tied for the highest ever by a Crusader cross country team, equaling their finish each of the last two years. Faithy Kamangila of Oral Roberts won the race for the second straight year, finishing in 21:19.2 and leading the Golden Eagles to their first championship in school history. Kamangila earned Female Athlete of the Year honors and ORU coach Joe Dial was named Coach of the Year.
The Crusader season continues November 12 at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championships.
Today's meet can be heard in its entirety tonight on 95.1 FM, WVUR, and online at www.valpo.edu/wvur immediately following the Crusader volleyball match at Chicago State, scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m.

By Wainwright Jeffers - bio | email BLAKELY, GA (WALB) - After small gains early in the year, nationwide retail sales fell for a second straight month in April, raising doubts about an economic recovery.
Some stores in South Georgia seem to be weathering the storm.
We checked in Blakely's town square today.
The folks at a home décor and gift store told us despite recession, their business is good and they hope for more customers during the summer
"Sales have been steady we haven't seen a drop or a increase, especially with bridal season and graduation season coming up, people are getting new patterns, new beach bags, so it's been really good lately," said Blaire Duks, Pernickety.
The government expected retail sales to go up 0.2 percent last month, but they went down 0.4 percent.

Savage Love
Monogamously correct
Why the fidelity-above-all-else crowd are not 'defenders of marriage'
Published: April 13, 2011
Q: My wife and I click on just about every level — parenting, money, religion, politics, etc. — except for sex. After our last child was born, my advances were increasingly rejected. In an attempt to avoid pressuring her, I stopped initiating. One week passed, nothing. A month passed, nothing. A year passed, nothing. Depression and anger set in. But I was committed to being the "perfect husband," so I did not pressure her, hoping her libido would return. It didn't. Our "happy" life continued, and if you were a friend or neighbor, you'd have no idea this was going on. After two years, I finally lost it and confronted her. I expected that an open dialogue would improve the situation, but a month passed and she never brought it back up.
She's a stay-at-home parent, so she does most of the shopping, laundry, etc., but I contribute to the housework. We live in a large house, so we also have house cleaners and landscapers. Additionally, our kids are respectful and have been taught to pick up after themselves. The bottom line is that I've removed all of the obstacles I can think of.
I realize that I'm lucky to be happy and fulfilled in just about every area of my life, but I've become fidgety, short-tempered, and hypersensitive. I do not want to have an affair and I do not want a divorce. I love her and our children, but I'm at a loss as to what to do. Knowing there are women out there in the world who actually enjoy sex is devastating (it kills me to listen to you field a call from a sexually confident woman on your podcast). I am mourning the loss of intimacy and connection with another person. —Please Advise Troubled Husband
A: I'll get to you in a minute, PATH, but first ...
MTV has elected to speed the moral collapse of the United States by putting me on television. My upcoming sex-advice program is tentatively titled Savage U, and it represents MTV's first foray into non-music-video programming. This news has upset Maggie Gallagher, the head of the National Organization for Marriage.
"Renowned sex columnist Dan Savage, who is an openly gay man," Gallagher wrote on her blog, "will be taking his popular sex and relationship advice column to MTV in a show appropriately called Savage U where he intends to educate your college student about the importance of honesty over just about anything else, including fidelity."
Gallagher, who once had a child out of wedlock, speaks for the fidelity-over-anything-else crowd (fidelity over honesty, reality, statistics, biology, ability, etc.). Now, some people are capable of abstaining before marriage and being faithful to one partner for life — some people, but not Maggie — but these people represent a tiny minority of sexually active adults. And while those who make this aberrant lifestyle choice should not be discriminated against, the rest of us — the majority of sexually active adults — should be free to engage in grown-up conversations about sex, desire and the reality-friendly ways we define fidelity without being shouted down by the monogamously correct.
I'd like to address Gallagher's two main objections to Savage U in some detail:
"Savage, for all his experience, does not know what women are like," says Gallagher.
I may not know what women taste like — I've never gone down on one — but I do know what women are like. My mother was a woman, my sister is a woman, my first sex partners were women, and many of my friends, neighbors, and co-workers are women. And as someone who is attracted to men and is in a long-term relationship with a man, I know what straight women have to put up with.
Ironically, Gallagher is a practicing Catholic who cites her faith as a reason for her opposition to same-sex marriage. But not knowing what women taste like has never stopped the pope from offering his unsolicited advice to women — no birth control, no abortions, no oral, no anal, no hand jobs — and it seems a little hypocritical of Gallagher to suggest that I'm not qualified to offer advice to women, since I don't fuck 'em, without first telling that old fag in Rome to STFU already.
"The possibility of taming one's sexual desire for the sake of another, or of a vow, is not in the Savage moral imagination," says Gallagher. "Libido will have out, and honesty about that is the best policy."
The possibility of taming one's sexual desire for the sake of another most definitely exists within the Savage moral imagination. I frequently discuss the "price of admission," that is, the personal sacrifices, large and small, that make long-term relationships possible. For some, the price of admission — what it costs to ride a particular ride — includes "taming one's sexual desire for the sake of another." If anal sex is something you enjoy but you're in love with someone who doesn't do anal, going without anal is the price of admission. If you're not into monogamy but you're in love with someone who insists on it, then monogamy is the price of admission.
Yes, libido will have out — but "libido will have out" doesn't translate into "Dan Savage says anything and everything goes." Two people in a long-term, committed relationship should be open and honest with each other about their sexual interests, etc., because, yes, libido will have out. Meaning sexual compatibility and sexual satisfaction have a huge impact on the health of our relationships and marriages, Maggie, particularly if your spouse is your sole source of sexual satisfaction and release. People who can be open and honest with their partners — whether the relationship is monogamous or not — are likelier to have their needs met and likelier to meet their partners' needs. And when needs are met, people are less likely to cheat and more likely to stay married.

The Meridian Star
Fans of the vampire series, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" are ready for the film to open this week and United Blood Services in Meridian is hoping to capitalize on the interest young people have in the movie.
In hopes of getting young movie fans to donate blood, UBS is scheduling a blood drive for Friday at United Artists Bonita Lakes 9 at Bonita Lakes Mall. It coincides with the opening weekend of the Twilight Saga film, according to Donald Clark, donor recruitment supervisor in the Meridian area.
"If you donate at the theater on Friday," Clark said, "the first 20 successful donors will get a T-shirt and a movie ticket."
Donors after the first 20 will still get a T-shirt.
Donors who are 16 years old must have a consent form signed by a parent. Donors 17 and older do not, but there are specific height and weight requirements for donors aged 16-22.
"We are trying to get 30 donors Friday," Clark said.
"Breaking Dawn Part 2" T-shirts will be available as supplies last, according to Clark.
The Bonita Lakes movie cinema is located at 1680 Bonita Lakes Drive, Meridian. The UBS blood drive will be held there Friday, 3-8 p.m.
For more information about the blood drive and height and weight requirements, call UBS at (601) 482-2482.

Women's Hockey Cruises Past Conn. College
February 4, 2012
Middlebury completed the sweep of a two-game series with Connecticut College (8-9-2, 5-8-1), beating the Camels 4-1 in Kenyon Arena. The seventh-ranked Panthers (15-2-2, 12-2) outshot their opponents 37-9 in the game, with Sara Ugalde earning a goal and two assists.
Ugalde opened the scoring with her team-leading 10th of the year, scoring on a one-timer with a feed from Emily Fluke, her 10th assist of the season. The goal at 8:06 was followed by another tally at the 11:28 mark, this one coming from Maggie Woodward on a breakaway, her eighth of the season.
Katie Moreau scored the first of her career 4:40 into the second period, with a short breakaway after a Camel turnover. Connecticut College got on the board 6:28 into the second, when Ariel DiPasquale scored with a quick open run to the goal in a four-on-four situation. The Panthers ended the period with a 4-1 lead when Grace Waters netted her fifth of the year 11:29 into the frame.
After scoring twice in Friday's game, Katie Sullivan earned her third of the weekend 1:57 into the third period. Lauren Greer earned an assist after making the pass from behind the goal to Sullivan in the slot. Maggie Melberg netted the game's final goal from the slot on a four-on-three power play with 9:10 remaining.
Annabelle Jones made five saves in 40 minutes for Middlebury, while Becca Shaw stopped all three shots she faced in the third period. Amy Leichliter (41:57, 5 GA, 22 saves) and Kelsie Fralick (18:03 MP, 1 GA, 9 saves) both saw time for the Camels.
Middlebury finished the game 1-10 on the power play, while Connecticut College was 0-3.

What the fuck? Are you fucking kidding me right now?!?-.-
So since apparently these women basically 'asked' to get raped and deserved it, Im guessing homicide victims also...
I think it's absolutely vile that people would respond like this but even worse that women would too.
I'll help murder them with you….this is absolutely disgusting.
what is wrong with people.
People like this exist in the world…I'm losing hope in humanity day after day after day…

A demonstrator wears a mask during a protest inside the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Civic Center station on Monday. The hacker group "Anonymous" staged a demonstration at a BART station this evening after BART officials turned off cell phone service in its stations last week during a disruptive protest following a fatal shooting of a man by BART police.
Another week, another protest, another standoff between riot-masked police and othe rpeople in masks.
A letter from top BART officials sent Saturday morning -- in which the transit agency defends its decision to shut down cell phone signals on Aug. 11 and station platforms in response to protestors -- appears to have triggered another protest, with members of the hacker group Anonymous, which organized last week's protest, calling for a demonstration at 5 p.m. today, according to the San Francisco Appeal online newspaper.
As of Sunday morning, several hundred people on Facebook had pledged to attend today's demonstration, according to reports. Today's action is also planned for the Civic Center station, where BART police shot and killed a homeless man in early July. Civic Center has been the site of two protests since.
Anonymous has reacted strongly to BART's decision to cut off cell phone communications in a preemptive response to an aborted protest on Aug. 11. Since then, people associating themselves with the group have hacked into multiple BART Web sites, leaking information and disrupting service.
But whether these and today's action are linked is unclear. Anyone can join Anonymous's "hacktivist" movement, and not everyone within the group participates or even necessarily endorses a "hacktivism" action taken by another member. It's anarchy (hackarchy?)!
There does not appear to be a clear strong link between Anonymous's actions, dubbed OpBART, and No Justice No BART, which scheduled the Aug. 11 protest. No Justice No BART was formed following the Jan. 1, 2009 shooting death of Oscar Grant on an Oakland BART platform.
Anonymous -- or some unknown folks within Anonymous -- has pledged to keep it up until BART apologizes for the cell phone snafu, which has become international news and has riled more respectable free spech advocates such as the ACLU.
BART's board of directors is scheduled to discuss the transit agency's protesting situation at its Wednesday meeting.
BART's brass, from Interim GM Sherwood Wakeman and BART Board President Bob Franklin, are making things worse, according to BART Board member Lynette Sweet. "What we ended up doing is giving these same people another reason to come back and protest us," she said.

The award of a $500,000 state grant to the town of Oneonta's proposed extension of water service to Southside will greatly enhance the project's chances of winning more government support, according to Town Supervisor Bob Wood.
"The project is starting to really come together," Wood said in an interview.
The economic development award reeled in this week represents about 6 percent of the projected total cost of extending water lines to Southside, Wood said
Southside has turned into the region's biggest cluster of big box stores and shopping centers — and more sites are available for the developers.. But some businesses have been hesitant to locate there because the lack of a water supply would require that they install expensive wells, proponents of the project.
Wood said the state grant will boost the chances of the town getting approval for some $8.5 million in financing from state and federal agencies. The total tab for the project is expected to come to about $9 million.
Another looming hurdle for the project is whether Southside residents will agree to create a new water district. Wood said he is optimistic that measure would pass when voters act on it. The question is expected to be decided next fall, and projections suggest having a water district would cost each household about $300 per year, he said.
The supervisor said he expects homeowners will buy into the project because it will enhance the values of their houses and make them more marketable when they want to sell.
Bringing the water system to fruition will also likely hinge on crafting a financing package that is affordable, he said. That is one of the goals of the grant applications that will ultimately be acted upon by the state Environmental Facilities Corporation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, he noted.
The project also has the backing of the Otsego County Industrial Development Agency. Earlier this year, it approved a $100,000 loan for the town's Southside water effort.
A 2010 survey of Southside residents determined that about 75 percent favored the water project.

Representatives from American Medical Response, which provides ambulance services to Murrieta, asked City Council members for an apology Tuesday.
They alleged misleading and "false" statements about AMR employees were made during a March 6 City Council workshop for residents.
Murrieta Fire Chief Matt Shobert is recommending the optional fee to recoup costs he says are spent providing paramedic services. Shobert said the Fire Department is getting a return of about 30 percent of materials used during calls when Murrieta firefighter/paramedics arrive on scene prior to AMR.
AMR Operations Manager Jim Price said he watched a video playback of the City Council discussion and was disheartened by some of the statements made.
"It seems it is OK for us to participate in washing toilets but it is not OK to participate in Thanksgiving dinners," Price said, as ambulance crews rent space at Murrieta fire stations.
"It is OK if you guys want to attack AMR and it is OK to attack me but it is not OK to attack the fine men and women who do the same work you do to protect our community," Price said.
Supported by fellow uniformed workers who sat in the audience, AMR paramedic and Murrieta resident Shelly Hudelson approached the Council. Hudelson brought up a statement made by Councilman Randon Lane in which he said AMR was committing "fraud" by recouping fees for work provided by Murrieta firefighter/paramedics.
"How can AMR charge for services we are providing and it not be considered fraud?" Lane said during the March 6 workshop.
Hudelson said she took his statement to mean that AMR paramedics were inferior to Murrieta crews.
"Two weeks ago you made misleading and false allegations of fraud," Hudelson said. "...You talked about response times and an unacceptable level of care...You used words like 'our guys are experts and more trained.' The fact is some of your guys were trained by these guys. They went to the same schools and took the same training.
"I am glad my fire department strives for excellence, but if you need to state that (this fee) is for training and equipment and fuel, please do so but not by insulting professionals who run twice as many calls per day.
"We ask for an apology from the City Council."
Because the issue was not on the Council agenda, Council members said they could not immediately respond to AMR's concerns.
During a portion in which they can address the public, however, Lane clarified his allegation of "fraud."
"I made it very clear that my comments were not dealing with actual illegal things AMR was trying to do," Lane said. "My concern was and is the rules in which our system is being handled. It is more (because of) the county that we have a monopoly in our system. AMR operates under those rules. I disagree with those rules by the county. I do not believe AMR is doing anything intentionally illegal but I do have grave concern and I will continue to lobby..."
Lane was referring to the city of Murrieta's request that the Riverside County Board of Supervisors Under a long-held county contract, AMR must arrive to emergency medical response calls within nine minutes, 59 seconds—something Murrieta officials have said they are not satisfied with.
The issue was scheduled to be discussed again by the Board of Supervisors March 13, but was taken off the agenda.
Councilman Alan Long, who is a battalion chief for the Anaheim Fire Department, said he has never made comments directed at AMR employees.
"I am not going to back down on anything I've said about the system," Long said. "Our system is redundant; it is also 15-20 years behind other counties. That needs to be fixed...A contract that has not been bid out for over three decades need to go out to bid. No where in there is anything directed at the employees."
When asked about AMR's statements made to City Council, Fire Chief Matt Shobert said they "did not merit a response."
Murrieta Firefighter/Paramedic Dean Hale spoke of good relationships with AMR employees. He said he knows of former AMR employees who chose to leave because of the way the organization was ran.
"Those are their words not mine," Hale said. "I have cooked Thanksgiving dinner—where they don't pay for food, it comes out of my pocket. We have meals waiting for them but they never return. We respect the paramedics we work with..."
Hale said a law that was passed in 1983 required fire departments to staff trained paramedics.
"Because ambulances weren't doing their job, firefighter/paramedics were required to step up and do the job," Hale said.
The city continues to further discuss starting the . Residents who pay a $48 annual fee would not be billed for paramedic calls, but those who do not could be charged $350 per occurrence. Businesses could enroll in the program based on the number of employees.
Murrieta resident Jacqueline Fenaroli told City Council she opposed the fee.
"...A fire engine is an expensive and a redundant service when an ambulance will show up shortly....there are other better and cheaper ways to accomplish this," Fenaroli said.
She encouraged an open bid process, or even allowing multiple ambulance companies to compete to get to emergencies quickest.
"With our high unemployment rate and our (living) expenses...the citizens of Murrieta can not bear this tax. I would urge the Council to put it to a vote and see it the citizens really want it because this citizen doesn't," Fenaroli said.

By Tom Pritchard Local Commentary
The Daily Star
---- — We have been told that it is not economically profitable to extract natural gas from shale deposits, be they Marcellus, Utica, Bakken, or any others, unless the market price is at least $5 to $6 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf).
The U.S. Market wellhead prices for natural gas since February of 2002 had ranged from a low of $2.19 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) to as high as $10.79 in July of 2008. However, since that peak a little over five years ago, about when high volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing started in earnest, it dropped even lower to $1.89 in April of 2012 and was last reported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration to still be stubbornly low at $3.35 as of December 2012.
We were told that this new technology, still in its beginning stages, now enabled us to access deposits that couldn't otherwise have been reached before. We were also told that it would enable our country to be energy independent and energy secure.
Initially, drilling operators and the companies that supply them with the chemicals they use said their information was proprietary. However New York State has required that they be disclosed. The initial chemical count was somewhere between 600 and 700 different chemicals however that list has now grown to over 900.
The industry suggests that they are not substantially different than what almost any household has under their kitchen sink or in their garage. While this may be true, that doesn't mean that I would choose to gargle with them or ingest them.
U.S. companies, recognizing that the prevailing market prices would afford them a less-expensive source of energy, started waxing enthusiastic at the prospect of being able to reinvigorate domestic production instead of off-shoring it to locations where other costs of production (i.e., labor) were lower.
What they did not take into account was the reality that the nations of Europe and the western Pacific (China, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan) had been and are continuing to pay 4 to 5 times as much for their natural gas imports than the price they could get from the U.S.'s newly found shale sources.
So what happened? As of May 17 of this year, 26 applications were filed with the U.S. Department of Energy to convert Liquefied Natural Gas Import facilities, at the major coastal ports of our country, to export capacity. Three of these 26 conversion applications have already been approved and the other 23 are reportedly being "fast tracked." On aggregate, they would be capable of exporting 57.34 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day and that would be over 20 trillion cubic feet per year.
After all, what oil and gas company wouldn't want to get the highest price for what they were selling? When the dust settles on all of this, the European markets will no longer be held hostage to Russia for their NG fuels. As the Asian manufacturing sectors continue to grow, they can and will do so less expensively and thus more rapidly.
What does that do for our domestic manufacturers, our energy independence, and our energy security? Not much by my calculations. The world market dynamics will make U.S. supplied natural gas less expensive for the countries paying multiples of our current market price but as our world becomes hotter, flatter, and more crowded, the price in the U.S. market will rise and provide scant economic relief to our domestic market.
If we can't learn from the tragic consequences of hydraulic fracturing in other states, our plentiful supplies of clean water in New York State, for us and for future generations, will be jeopardized. Our agriculture, beverage, and tourist sectors will all be negatively impacted.
The industry and its proponents contend that there has never been contamination, but there are documented cases and untold numbers of cases which have been settled on the condition of non-disclosure "gag" orders on the plaintiffs, to obtain any financial relief for the harm they've experienced.
Drilling companies have also put gag orders on physicians, trying to treat people who have been harmed by chemicals from drilling accidents, before they will provide those practitioners the information they need to adequately treat the afflicted. Does this smack of obfuscation and outright lying on the part of the industry and its defenders? Decide for yourself.
If, not when, high volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing is approved in New York State, by bought-and-sold politicians and their revolving-door appointees in Albany and Washington, ask yourself how the gas will be brought to market from the widely spaced drilling pads. It won't get there magically. I am anticipating that eminent domain will be exercised to force property owners, receiving little or no economic compensation, to allow collecting pipelines to be put on their properties along with noisy compressor stations to help move the gas from one point to another.
This prospect will merely add insult to the injury of compulsory integration, which landowners unwilling to lease their properties for drilling purposes will be subjected to.
Boom-bust economics is inevitable, as these wells typically only produce for two to three years, leaving in their wake a bunch of capped but pressurized wells which will over time deteriorate and predictably contaminate the aquifers we rely on. The drillers will be long gone, having laughed all the way to their banks.

Home Based Parenting Program
This program provides a "best practice" parenting course that includes the availability of family counseling. The counseling is provided by a team consisting of a case manager and a Master's level counselor. A distinguishing feature of the program is that it is delivered primarily in the homes of participants or at a place of their choice. The course is delivered on CD or videotape and covers topics such as communications, problem solving skills, chores and homework responsibilities, step-parent issues and single-parent issues. The entire course is approximately three hours long.
This year, through an agreement with the City Department of Community Services, SWCC staff will also be providing a parenting skills program to young parents. Topics to be covered will include basic handling of a newborn, changing diapers, physical and emotional development of infants and toddlers, feeding and nutrition, toilet training and vaccination/immunizations.
For more information about the program, please call Tammy Nakamatsu at 847-1535.

He was astonishingly gracious for a man of his position, intellectually honest to a fault; [...] He came to oppose the Iraq war, he was noticably more sympathetic to gay people (and perhaps to civil unions) as he grew older; he believed that conservatism under George W. Bush had lost its way; he was humble enough to allow his magazine to prosper under editors who thought differently. His was a conservatism of doubt.
Buckley leaves an enormous legacy, but to the detriment everyone, the right left Buckley years ago. Where Buckley stood athwart the tide of history and beat it back with wit, sophistication, and argument, we today get [screeds] from lowest-common-denominator clowns ... Where Buckley mistrusted government and aimed to slow the world down, he's been usurped on the right by the likes of William Kristol and David Brooks, men who want to use government to remake the world in their own image. Where Buckley flourished in cosmopolitan Manhattan and took delight in life's finer things, modern conservatism has grown disdainful of the marketplace of culture, commerce, and ideas abundant in urban areas ...The 15-year GOP ascent to power from 1980 to 1994 gave rise to rightist thinkers more inclined toward activist government, just one that was ... using the federal government to promote conservative values through intervention in areas like health care and the public schools, remapping the Middle East, and other ideas that require too great a belief in the competence and benevolence of bureaucrats and politicians for sensible rightists like Buckley.I didn't agree with Buckley on everything, of course. But he represents a time when conservatives and libertarians shared quite a bit of common ground—indeed when both philosophies largely sprang from the same well of ideas and influences. I don't think that's the case anymore.
Sadly, modern pundits and intellectuals seem to have forsaken the Buckley style and choose instead to become political vulgarians, dependent upon base appeals to outrage and hyperbole. The modern style may be good for ratings and for short-term populist appeal, but it can - has, I think - become ultimately self-destructive.
Limbaugh just had a nice first hour on this topic...Buckley as the "civil/respectable" Conservative, Limbaugh as evillllll successor...I liked his point, look at what Liberals said about Buckley when he was alive and most active..."Crypto-Nazi" anyone? NOW, Liberals like him, but at the time, they excoriated him as a hate-monger and Nazi...sound familiar?
Limbaugh's not evil, he's just a guy who found a way to make a ton of money tellng people what they want to hear. Buckley was already rich, and he made his mark by convincing people of what they did not want to hear. You don't do that by showing disdain for the PEOPLE that hold those views.
Not after the way Bush has been treated.
No, because I imagine he'd take no pleasure 'debating' someone who's politically insane.
$100m in investigations into land deals and other equally inane nonsense
If you want to argue that the ensuing incivility that has overtaken the conservative movement was reactionary, fine, then people can just call you reactionaries
No, I am going to argue your central point, and in fact I absolutely refuse to grant you your premise- that incivility has overtaken the conservative movement.
Try to find this many people given this big of a stage who are this rude, in the time of WFB... of any political ideology.
Ann CoulterMichael SavageMichael ReaganRush LimbaughSean HannityGordon Liddy Laura IngrahamMichelle MalkinBob Novak
Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingraham and Malkin are certainly not "uncivil". Again, just because you assert so, doesn't make it so.
in·ci·vil·i·ty –noun, plural -ties for 2. 1. the quality or condition of being uncivil; discourteous behavior or treatment.
"I tell people don't kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus - living fossils - so we will never forget what these people stood for."
"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building."
"We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors."
I'll tell you who should be tortured and killed at Guantanamo: every filthy Democrat in the U.S. Congress.
"I can guarantee you [liberals], you wouldn't be in business too long. I can guarantee you you'd be arrested for sedition within six months of my taking power. I'd have you people licking lead paint, what you did to this country."
"...these big-mouthed, phony scum of the ACLU, who should be rounded up, arrested for sedition. Their property seized, and they should be put into Abu Ghraib prison as far as I'm concerned. That wouldn't be enough of what I'd like to see done to the ACLU. They're the worst vermin America has ever tolerated. The worst vermin in the history of America are the vermin in the ACLU."
but even he repeatedly claims to be only an entertainer.
"I don't think Congressman Paul has a snowball's chance," Limbaugh said. "You have the power yourself to make him the Republican nominee," the caller responded. "That is very true, and that is why I must exercise this power responsibly, not as a cheerleader," said Limbaugh, "which is why I'm not picking a name right now. I alone have the power to move the [Republican] base." Limbaugh continued: The exercise of my 'power' ? it's not something I'm really conscious of on a daily basis, but it would be foolish and silly for me to deny that I possess it. But the primary effort in the usage of my power is to educate and inform as many people as possible so they get in the arena of ideas and eventually go vote. Because I believe in ideas and ideas triumph, and when elections are won, I want them to be won on ideas, not labels and other things that are devoid of substance. ... But I did want to make note that I finally have now acknowledged what everybody knows, and it is one of the reasons that I am the biggest target of the American left simply because of that power. This is a power, my friends, that could be used for good or evil. I choose to use it for good. ... It's the elephant in the room. Why deny it? That would be false humility, and there's nothing that grates on me more than a person that engages in false humility and tries to laugh it off. ... I'm not going to sit here and deny what you all know.
Jeez, get a sense of humor.
Repeat;"I alone have the power to move the Republican base"
So you admit you don't actually know if liberals are more uncivil than conservatives. That kind of ruins your argument, don't it? In any event, so what?
If being rude or discourteous is so abhorrent to you you must find dealing with the real world to be quite burdensome.
"In any case, the most popular conservatives are characterized by incivility."Repetition of your accusation still doesn't prove it.
I note that you still have not shown how uncivil Malkin and Novak are.

Autoimmune thyroid disorders (AITDs) are among the most common autoimmune disorders. Antithyroid antibodies may be helpful in the subclassification of autoimmune thyroid disease.
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor (TSHR) antibodies (TRAb)
Thyroglobulin (Tg) antibodies
TPO is a transmembrane protein essential for synthesis of thyroid hormones
TSHR, a TSH-specific receptor, controls thyroid function and cell growth
Tg is the precursor to thyroid hormones and is highly immunoreactive
TPO is targeted by the thyroid microsomal antibody
Tg antibody is directed against thyroglobulin
Polyclonal antibody (usually IgG1, IgG4)
Polyclonal antibody (most common is IgG1)
Evidence of antibody damage
Clinical Use
|Healthy populations
|Detectable in a small percentage
|Not typically detected
|Detectable in a small percentage
|Graves disease (GD)
|Hashimoto thyroiditis
No indicated use in this disease
|Postpartum thyroiditis
Antibody presence during pregnancy predicts risk of disease postpartum
Antibody presence may predict postpartum thyroiditis
|Subclinical hypothyroidism
May indicate increased risk of development of overt hypothyroidism
|Thyroid cancer
Indications for Testing
Differentiate autoimmune-mediated thyroid disease (eg, Graves disease [GD], Hashimoto thyroiditis) from other etiologies for hyper- or hypothyroidism
Laboratory Testing
Differential Diagnosis
Thyroiditis is an inflammation of the thyroid gland and has multiple etiologies.
Classification of Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Risk Factors
Clinical Presentation
|Test Name and Number
|Recommended Use
|Follow Up
|Thyroid Stimulating Hormone with reflex to Free Thyroxine 2006108
Method: Quantitative Electrochemiluminescent Immunoassay
Assess thyroid function in evaluation of autoimmune thyroid disease
|Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin 0099430
Method: Quantitative Bioassay/Quantitative Chemiluminescent Immunoassay
Preferred testing for autoimmune thyroid disease (eg, GD) based on ARUP analytical sensitivities (versus TRAb sensitivities)
Prognostic marker for relapse of GD or remission following drug therapy
Support GD diagnosis in difficult (euthyroid) cases
Predict risk of thyroid dysfunction in newborns of mothers with GD
Blocking antibodies specific to TSHR may decrease TSI antibody levels; net response is most likely physiologic
TSH serum levels ≥6 mU/L may cause a false-positive result
|Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor Antibody (TRAb) 2002734
Method: Quantitative Electrochemiluminescent Immunoassay
Acceptable testing for autoimmune thyroid disease
Aids in the differentiation of GD from factitious thyrotoxicosis, postpartum thyroiditis, or toxic nodular goiter
Prognostic marker for relapse of GD or remission following drug therapy
Predict risk of thyroid dysfunction in newborns of mothers with GD
Evaluate for the presence of euthyroid GD ophthalmopathy
|Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Antibody 0050075
Method: Quantitative Chemiluminescent Immunoassay
Primary testing for Hashimoto thyroiditis
Secondary testing for Graves disease (GD)
Predict progression to hypothyroidism in individuals with subclinical hypothyroidism
Evaluate individuals with recurrent miscarriage, with or without infertility issues
|Thyroglobulin Antibody 0050105
Method: Quantitative Chemiluminescent Immunoassay
Diagnose autoimmune thyroid disease when TPO antibody measurements are negative and a high clinical suspicion exists for autoimmune thyroid disease
Predict progression to hypothyroidism in individuals with subclinical hypothyroidism (eg, Hashimoto thyroiditis)
|Thyroid Antibodies 0050645
Method: Chemiluminescent Immunoassay
Test panel composed of TPO and TG antibody tests
See individual tests for recommended uses
|Test Name and Number

Method: Quantitative Chemiluminescent Immunoassay
Preferred test for screening and monitoring thyroid function
Aid in the diagnosis of primary hyperthyroidism and differential diagnosis of hypothyroidism
Monitor individuals on thyroid hormone replacement therapy
Confirm suppression during thyroxine therapy for thyroid carcinoma
Do not order more than every 3-6 months
|Thyroxine, Free (Free T4) 0070138
Method: Quantitative Electrochemiluminescent Immunoassay
Order following abnormal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) result to diagnose thyroid disease
Order in conjunction with TSH if pituitary (secondary) hypothyroidism is suspected
Assess thyroid status in pregnant women or those on estrogen supplementation, phenytoin, or salicylates
Monitor thyroid hormone replacement therapy during pregnancy and treatment of secondary hypothyroidism

July 27th
Tanks Markets 9am-2pm
Check back here for upcoming events in North Queensland. If you are interested in volunteering in Cairns please email email@example.com for more information. We would love your help!
13th July Stall at Holloways Beach Market
Great day was at Holloway's Beach Markets - glorious weather and a huge thanks to Cairns locals for their support!
For the Oceans
Welcome to our new Cairns Coordinators Sergio and Alison who are doing a brilliant job in Cairns keeping the Sea Shepherd presence alive!
While on her way home to Cairns our fantastic Cairns Co-ordinator stopped off in Sydney to visit the Bob Barker and its crew. Lucky for Helen, Paul Watson was also on board visiting his volunteers, so Helen got the chance to have a chat with Paul and grabbed a photo as well.
Meet Jack Bakker, an energetic and passionate 8 year old Sea Shepherd Conservation Society supporter from Yungaburra on the Atherton tablelands. When Jack's school had a fancy dress day recently instead of dressing as Ben 10, Batman or even the ledgendary Ninja Turtles, Jack decided to go in his Sea Shepherd gear. Jack and many children like him are the new generation of supporters helping to raise awareness about the plight of our oceans and planet. So if you ever see Jack around town give him a big thumbs up and say thanks. On behalf of Sea Shepherd and Captain Paul Watson "Thanks Jack".
The North Queensland chapter of Sea Shepherd is getting great support from market-goers. Here is chapter co-ordinator Helen running a stall at Rustys Markets. Come visit us next time you're heading to the markets!
The new North Queensland chapter of Sea Shepherd got off to a great start with their first stall at the Tanks Markets in Cairns. There was a lot of encouraging support from members of the public and interest in volunteering for the organisation, as well as some generous donations and merchandise sales. Thanks to everyone who went along and supported the new chapter, and if you missed them this time make sure to visit the markets again on May 29th when they will be hosting another stall.
North Queensland volunteers Phil and Helen

Depending on whom you ask, the definition of running can vary. Some people see it as a sport while others think of it as a mode of transportation, or something they'd do if they were being chased by a rottweiller.
You'd probably get just as many variations when posing the question, "Who is a runner?" While some people would argue that everyone knows how to run and anyone can do it, others believe that the term is reserved for Olympic-caliber track and field stars. Even after logging hundreds of miles in preparation for a marathon, some of the beginner runners I coach have confessed to me, "I still don't consider myself a runner!"
Do you run or do you jog? What's the difference? Most people would say that jogging is just a slow form of running. The late Dr. George Sheehan, a best-selling author from the 1970s running boom, once wrote that the difference between a runner and a jogger was a signature on a race application. In other words, if you're motivated and enjoy running enough to train for an organized race, you're a runner -- regardless of your speed or experience in the sport.
Types of Running
Most runners participate in one or some of the following forms of running:
Casual Running
The majority of runners do it casually for the physical, social, and mental benefits of running. Casual runners usually love accessibility of running -- you don't need any fancy equipment, it's relatively inexpensive, and you can do it almost anywhere. And it's never too late to start running, as many people who have taken up the sport in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s have proved.
Treadmill Running
A great alternative to running outside when the weather is bad, treadmill running is usually easier than outdoor running and can be gentler on your joints. Most treadmills allow runners to change their pace, incline, and resistance so they can simulate outdoor running and vary their workouts to prevent boredom.
Some runners enjoy the thrill and competition of participating in road races, from 5Ks to half and full marathons. The vast majority of people enter races not to win (or even come close), but to set a personal goal and achieve it. Many former couch potatoes have become hooked on the sport after training for their first road race.
Trail Running
For those who love to enjoy scenery and peaceful surroundings while exercising, trail running is a fantastic option. Trail running usually takes place on hiking trails of varying terrain, from deserts to mountains. Trail runners may find themselves sidestepping roots, scrambling up rocks, running through streams, or traversing up steep hills. For the trail runner who loves to compete, trail races take place throughout the country.
