Let's explain 'high intensity' before we find out more. The simple explanation of high intensity is physical activity at a performance level that invokes high heart rates, hard breathing, feelings of discomfort, and high levels of oxygen consumption.
Exercise trainers and physiologists sometimes use a 'rate of perceived exertion' scale like the Borg Scale, which rates an individuals feelings of working hard on a scale of 1-10 (and sometimes 1-20). Eight or nine out of ten would be very high intensity, five or six moderate intensity and three or four, low intensity. Whether you can talk comfortably or not while exercising is also used as measure of intensity.
Even so, high-intensity training is not just a measure of short bursts of training at high heart rates, it can be interpreted to incorporate elements of time as well. The FITT acronym for workouts stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type. Training at >90% of maximum heart rate for 20 minutes of intermittent (interval) training is high intensity training, but running for 45 minutes, steady-state cardio at >80% of maximum heart rate is also intense training of another type. Interval or intermittent training is not the only type of 'high-intensity' training. You will see that this has implications for fat burning and post-exercise energy expenditure as well.
As a general rule, HIT stands for high-intensity training as a weight training methodology that evolved in the 1970s and 80s. HIIT stands for high-intensity interval or intermittent training, an acronym that represents a practise that is as old as athletics, but has become popularized as something new for amateur trainers in recent times. Track workouts are generally HIIT.
High-Intensity Weight Training (HIT)
The general principles of HIT, as it applies to weight training, are as follows:
- Repetitions and sets with a load that will lead to muscle failure at the end of each set. This means choosing an appropriately heavy weights for the standard 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise. Your muscles should feel heavy with fatigue and lactate at the end of your set.
- Because of the high intensity advocated, HIT enthusiasts say that fewer sets and less time is required in the gym to do full-body workouts and to achieve results superior to more traditional workouts involving less intensity and more sets.
Popular exercise regimens like CrossFit emulate this type of metabolic training to some extent. But CrossFit is a general fitness regimen; Don't make the mistake of believing that you can be a class distance runner or Olympic lifter with CrossFit and similar programs. High-intensity training is not magic!
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
An example of a HIIT workout could be 15 sprints of 70 metres at greater than 90% perceived effort with 60 seconds rest in between. You could also be more calculating and use a heart rate monitor to work at percentages of maximum heart rate.
You might also run for 40 minutes at greater than 80% maximum; or include fartlek intervals in your running. Fartlek is short bursts of higher speeds during longer cardio workouts. For example, every alternate half mile you might increase the pace by 20% for one minute. High-intensity training is not exclusively about short intervals. You could also do repetition 800 metres on the track as your HIIT training.
Fat Burning and the Afterburn
In recent years, a variety of studies have appeared purporting to show that HIIT training, Tabata style, burns more fat than steady-state cardio, mostly, they say, because of increased post-exercise fat burning -- the afterburn. On the whole, these studies are not well controlled, that is, they don't compare high-intensity training with aerobic training of similar depth. Ultimately, work done is still the main factor, and aerobic running at around 75-80% maximum heart rate for 30 minutes or more, is very effective at fat burning.
Summarizing HIT and HIIT
High-intensity training allows you to do more work in a shorter time. This can be useful for busy people looking for general fitness. The down side is that more injuries occur at higher intensities and volumes of training. And it's not magic, you still need specificity for events like triathlon and marathon -- which means lots of miles.
Superior fitness is achieved when you do the triple: weights, cardio, and intervals. For weight loss, combining weights with aerobic exercise helps you maintain muscle, which has metabolic advantages. Interval training provides anaerobic fitness. Do all three.

The headlines will focus on Dempsey's 40th minute tally, with England goalkeeper Robert Green's attempts to save the attacker's shot bound to spawn comparisons to recent gaffs by Scott Carson and Paul Robinson.
Robinson's misfortune handling a back pass against Croatia in 2006 remains in English minds, while Scott Carson's soft goal allowed against Croatia to end England's Euro 2008 qualifying marks another recent goalkeeping gaff for the English national team.
Robert Green's mistake tops both those incidents.
Dempsey put a left-footed shot along the ground from 22 yards out, straight to Green in the middle of goal. Green kneeled on one knee to collect the ball but let the shot go off his gloves and into the net, giving the United States an equalizing goal.
England had gone up in the fourth minute when Steven Gerrard beat Tim Howard from near the spot, flicking a pass from Emile Heskey under the uncoming `keeper for the opener. The England captain ran through space vacated by Oguchi Onyewu, who had come off his line to meet Wayne Rooney, with Ricardo Clark trailing Gerrard.
The match went in to half time tied 1-1, by which time Fabio Capello had subbed-off James Milner for Shaun Wright-Phillips. Coming out of intermission he used his second substitute, with Jamie Carrager replacing Ledley King at right-center half.
That substitute helped create the best opportunity of the half, falling to the United States when forward Jozy Altidore ran past Jamie Carragher and nearly beat Green to his near post. The West Ham `keeper got enough of his right hand on the ball to turn it onto the post, keeping the score at tied at one.
Minutes earlier, Emile Heskey had his chance to put England ahead, put through on goal by Aaron Lennon. Tim Howard came out to meet the striker, who pulled-up from 20 yards only to fire his shot directly into Howard's chest.
It was one of a number of highlights for Tim Howard, who was the United States' man of the match. Steve Cherundolo and Jay DeMerit also gave strong performances for the national team.
For England, the stories will center on the players who failed to perform to expectations. Robert Green will be focused upon, but Wayne Rooney failed to make his expected impact. James Milner earned his substitution, and Aaron Lennon, multiple times, failed to produce a quality final ball that could have led to a winning score.
Both England and the United States sit with one point in Group C, with Algeria and Slovenia to play tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. Eastern.

The most obvious point to ponder, repeating in Olympics after Olympics, is that our large population — the world's second biggest and soon to be biggest — means nothing if we are unable to marshal its energy to do something inspiring.
Narrow aspirations
India's predicament, fumbling along in team events, and delivering more in individual events, as if distancing self from surroundings and chasing one's dream diligently is the best way out, betrays the state of our nation.
A popular culture supportive of excellence for excellence's sake, is required but missing. Instead, we are focused on a narrow spectrum of activity — typically minting money — for self worth. We drill that value into our children as well, making them renowned as 99.5 and 99.6 per cent — the marks they score in exams, without particular love for any subject. What they are capable of in totality is secondary. Academics merely as a prelude to employment and being well-settled, tops over all else.
A major car company's ad on mileage brilliantly captures the Indian approach to buying cars. Replace mileage with potential earnings and you have the Indian approach to choosing activity.
Hopefully at some point, this narrow mercantile definition of life is cast aside.
Problem is the Indian rat race quickly teaches what is relevant and what isn't. Sport is silly or luxury. Or it has to be cricket — moneyed and mainstream. Or you should do a cricket in whatever sport you choose! This is tough. Do we support the journey? Focused on family, our appetite to imagine beyond blood relations and household is limited.
An Indian team competing and losing is instantly subjected to ridicule. But when a team member is from one's own family, community or home state, we quickly defend, even encourage.
If such things have to happen first in the household for a lesson to be learnt, then a million babies would have to grow up for households to value an agenda that is different from the regular. Not surprisingly, India is a generation behind in most sports.
Forget mainstream
Huddled in our tight-knit communities, we become critics of initiative quicker than we become people with initiative.
Saina Nehwal, settling for bronze, attracts comments from us for not trying. How many of us have competed internationally to judge her so?
Equally, it is our idea of local community as world enough that makes the 'Olympian' tag more valued than trying one's best at the Olympics.
Annoying as his comment on the Indian hockey team may have been to us, coach Michael Nobbs was pointing to a well-known Indian weakness when he said the players seemed content to just have been at the London Olympics.
Doesn't that remind of something else typically Indian? Nobody asks what you did as long as you have the attributes for being locally coveted, in place. It's an outdated idea of eligibility lingering around.
Further, we must abandon the notion of a mainstream India. Excellence does not recognise majority and mainstream.
Look at Manipur. It has a population of 2.7 million people compared with India's overall 1.2 billion. The small State is big in sports. Irrespective of the outcome of a bout, Mary Kom stepping into the ring fires the imagination. I will never forget watching her fight on TV with my friend alongside punching the air in excitement. I think we both loved that feeling of mainstream demolished.

Donaldsonia Baker f.
Moringa, native to parts of Africa and Asia, is the sole genus in the flowering plant family Moringaceae. The name is derived from the Tamil word Murungai (முருங்கை). It contains 13 species from tropical and subtropical climates that range in size from tiny herbs to massive trees.
The most widely cultivated species is Moringa oleifera, a multipurpose tree native to the foothills of the Himalayas in northwestern India[4] and cultivated throughout the tropics.[5] M. stenopetala, an African species, is also widely grown, but to a much lesser extent than M. oleifera.
Moringa grows quickly in many types of environments.
Nutritional content[edit]
Much of the plant is edible by humans or by farm animals. The leaves are rich in protein, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and minerals.[5] 100g of fresh Moringa leaves have 9.3 g protein, 434 mg calcium, 404 mg potassium, 738 μg vitamin A, and 164 mg vitamin C.[6]
Feeding the high protein leaves to cattle has been shown to increase weight gain by up to 32% and milk production by 43 to 65%.[7] The seeds contain 30 to 40% oil that is high in oleic acid, while degreased meal is 61% protein.[8] The defatted meal is a flocculant and can be used in water purification to settle out sediments and undesirable organisms.[9]
Farming worldwide[edit]
Moringa cultivation is on the rise in Honduras and all across South America. There are claims that it is a profitable means of combating deforestation, but Moringa is not native to the forests of the New World. As of 2012 support for Moringa farmers is being offered by the Honduran federal government through the Secretary of Agriculture and by private foreign investment firms. The plant's market potential is widespread given its easy growth and high nutrient content. As described below, the plant is valued for its leaves and high-protein seeds. It can also be made into defatted meal. Moringa oleifera silviculture is being promoted as a means to combat poverty and malnutrition.[7]
Moringa oleifera is being cultivated in poverty-stricken nations, such as Niger, as a primary source of food and nutrients,[10] and a source of income through sales due to widespread and global marketability.[11]
In Haiti moringa is planted as a windbreak and to reduce soil erosion. The trees provide many products from oil to soil amendments (fertilizers) and teas made from the leaves.
In Mexico, Reserva Las Estacas, state of Morelos, includes the cultivation of Moringa.[12][13]
Moringa is considered a potential oilseed feedstock for biodiesel.[14] The main advantage of Moringa as a source of biodiesel is that biofuel produced by it is not in direct competition with food, as the plant produces both biofuel feedstock (seeds) and food (leaves) independently.[14] Moringa seeds contain 30 percent to 40 percent oil that is high in oleic acid.[14] Its biodiesel has better oxidative stability than biodiesel made from most other feedstocks.[14] Leaves and seeds can be harvested from mature trees without damaging them.

The Broncos have recently re-opened contract talks with veteran CB Champ Bailey, but the way we hear it, the two sides are not close to reaching a deal. It appeared that Bailey would remain in Denver back in October, when he agreed to a four-year, $40 million contract with the team. That contract was pulled off the table by upper management at the last minute and contract talks were shut down for the remainder of the season. We hear the deal being offered to Bailey now is at best equal to the contract he previously was offered, which is less than he figures to get if he hits the open market. Bailey, who turns 33 in June, was recently named to his 10th Pro Bowl, an NFL record for cornerbacks. While his age is becoming a concern, players like Packers CB Charles Woodson, 34, are still playing at an extremely high level. A source close to the team said that Bailey heard a lot of pitches when he was in Hawaii and fully expects Bailey to have plenty of options if he chooses to leave.

Worth noting - the 24-70/4 IS is almost a true macro lens.I use my 24-105mmL for product photography, and its mfd is not as close as I'd like. Since the camera is bolted to a heavy table, the IS doesn't come into play, but mfd does.
If those specs are true, a 0.7x max mag of the 24-70/4 is pretty darn close to a true 1:1 macro, and much higher than any other non-macro lens in the lineup (the 24-105 is 0.3x, 24-70 is 0.29x, 24-70 II is 0.21x). It's even higher than the 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro. The use of H-IS would be consistent with that high max mag (the only other lens that has it is the 100L Macro, but PowerShots also have H-IS since they have very close MFDs).
So, this lens is a combination general purpose zoom and near-macro lens, something nonexistent in the current lineup. For people who like to shoot close ups (flowers, jewelry, etc.) this is like getting two lenses in one.
I have the 100L, and I like the longer working distance, so its not likkely to go away.
I can see a 2 lens travel combination of 24-70 f/4 and 70-300L being pretty handy.

Backpacker Magazine – None
Hiker Gerald Holzer recounts a 2005 grizzly attack in Yellowstone.
How bad was Pat's injury?
I'm reluctant to talk about Pat's medical treatment-just to maintain his privacy. They cleaned and disinfected it. It was a dirty bite, and they said he had the option of continuing some other preventive medical treatment that would have to be continued over weeks. We reluctantly continued to Livingston to do that, and when we started driving up there we were silent for a while. We had 2 more weeks and it was a great feeling of disappointment. It was a sad time. The next day, Pat decided he would rather be in Bismarck, where he's from. Reluctantly, we realized that the wise thing to do was to call it quits.
The good news is that Pat's wound healed fine.
Did the bear event affect how you feel about backpacking?
No, not at all. Every night I spend in a tent is a happy time for me. Yellowstone is the best, because you can get away from everything and be in a true wilderness situation. It is the rewarding thing for me. Up until that point I didn't have a particular interest in bears, and now I do. It has made me more of an advocate. Again, I still had 2 weeks of vacation. When I came home, I said hi to my wife-she was glad to see me-and then went to the Boundary Waters for a little bit. Just to test myself and get back on the horse again. I went to some areas that were familiar to me. I hiked to these high areas at sunset and purposely hiked out in the fading light with a flashlight just to make sure to quell any willy-nillies.
Were you nervous?
A little. But nothing that panicked me. In fact, I wanted to feel skittish and be able to deal with it. The reason I go to into the backcountry is to look at the geology and the wildlife, and then go to the library in the winter and try to learn more about these things so I can go back out there with new eyes. I think the bear attack opened a new avenue of interest.
Would you have done anything different?
Many things. First, I should have been carrying bear spray as well. In the haste-I was in a hurry to get on the trail, I forgot my pepper spray. When I realized I didn't have it, I should have gone back to get it. Second, when we saw that scat, in hindsight, it would have been a good idea to find an area with good visibility and take an hour break. Third, after we saw that scat, we should have had the pepper spray in our hands. Rangers reluctantly mention pepper spray-for good reason. People think, oh I have pepper spray, I don't have to worry. But if I had used pepper spray on the first charge, the grizzly might have left right away.
Why do you think this bear attacked you?
My hunch-and I have a master's in animal behavior-is this was not an animal seeking us as food, it was an animal trying to reduce a perceived threat.
Do you want to go back to Yellowstone?
Yes. Definitely.
WHAT bear "attack" ?
Very interesting article! My oldest son and I hiked the Shoshone Lake Trail in late June 2005. I recall thinking it would be a good place to meet up with a grizzly. I took a hasty picture of one in the general vicinity 6/29/2005. We were careful not to get close and left the area after observing it. However, I really didn't think it would likely bother two people hiking together. Next time, I'll be even more careful.
that brought back memories. I was on that same trail back in the 80's by myself when I came across a fresh still steaming scat pile in the middle of the trail. I was rushing to catch some fellow concession workers who had a car. I had hitched and got their much later. So I sang out loud. Never did see the bear. darkness caught me before I found my buddies. My friends even had the tent so I camped on the shore of Shoshone just in my sleeping back. Build a fire and filtered and drank as much water as I could. Then go mark my boundaries by peeing in all direction away from camp. Let the bear know a person was there. Next morning I was up at the crack of dawn and found my friends a few miles down the trail.
Glad you all were ok. we didn't have bear spray then but on visits back to Yellowstone I have bought and always carry. Great to know it works!

ATLANTA (AP) - A century-old concert hall in downtown Atlanta is awaiting an inspection by an engineer before Saturday night's scheduled concert after fans were evacuated during a rock show.
Atlanta police said the rock band "Panic! at the Disco" was performing Friday night when the floor of The Tabernacle was deemed unsafe. A fire marshal evacuated the building shortly before 10:30 p.m.
The band later commented on its official Facebook page that it "broke the venue" with its floor-collapsing music.
Singer-songwriter Corey Smith is scheduled for perform at 8 p.m. Saturday.
The building opened in 1910 as a religious hall.

Tom Brady watched the resurgent Broncos score on their first three possessions, then led the Patriots to 27 straight points en route to a 41-23 victory to help New England clinch the AFC East for the ninth time in 11 years.
Brady threw for 320 yards with two touchdowns and ran in another score in the sixth straight win for New England (11-3), which trailed 16-7 early in the second quarter before taking control.
The Patriots have historically struggled in Denver, 2-15 there since 1969, and Brady himself is 1-6 lifetime against the Broncos. New England entered Sunday's game with the worst defense in the NFL, so Brady had to be on his game to beat Tim Tebow and whatever high power has propelled him to a 7-1 record as a starter.
Brady is coming off a 357-yard, three-touchdown performance last week against the Washington Redskins. His 33 passing touchdowns are second behind only Aaron Rodgers in the NFL.

Shaddock- recipe from @cocktailvirgin from Emma Hollander @BolsGenever @StGermainDrinks/
3/4 oz Bols Genever
3/4 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
3/4 oz Aperol
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
A simple foursome coalesce in a perfect balance of flavors. Grapefruit is prominent, but not overbearing. Orange notes of Aperol come through on the swallow as well as the familiar St. Germain elderflower. This is one of those cocktails that you almost know exactly how it will taste before you try it, but that's a good thing as they are all great flavors on their own, it's hard to go wrong. Another "cousin" of this cocktail and great recipe also gathered by cocktail virgin via Ben Sandrof, "Cell #34" should also not be missed. Please visit cocktailvirgin for an impressive compendium of delicious libations.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
This mostly panoramic tour gives you the opportunity to enjoy the stunning coastal views provided along the famous Golden Corniche, or Esterel cliff road, which is considered one of the most beautiful areas of the French Riviera.
Setting off from the pier, the cliff road will run close to the sea in some places and passes by lovely villa gardens set with palms, orange trees and mimosa. The Esterel has a breathtaking beauty and is made up of volcanic rocks, which at Agay, are blue in color while elsewhere, are green, yellow, purple and grey. The fiery colors of the rocks make for a striking contrast against the cobalt blue of the sea.
A stop will be made at the fashionable resort town of Saint Raphael which is situated on Frejus Bay. The waterfront by the Old Harbor bristles with activity generated by the charming cafés and shops that line the pavements of Cours Jean Bart and Quai Albert. Enjoy free time here to browse the shops or simply relax and soak in the ambiance of this delightful enclave before it's time to rejoin your coach for the return to Cannes.
Please note: Walking on this tour is mainly at the guest's discretion. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have a companion to assist them.

Sprint invited the myFOX Tech team out for a media day to show off their new LTE and upgraded 3G network digs right in the heart of Hollywood. Tech Ninja, Tshaka Armstrong also took the opportunity to explain a little about cellular phones and how they work in case you ever wondered and did a speed test using the Galaxy Note 2 to give you a taste of what you're in for if you're on the Now Network.
If you've been rocking one of Sprint's LTE phones, you may already know that the high speed 4G network has been in place for a bit now- though spotty at times as they were in the process of upgrading the network- but Sprint went ahead and made it official today for Angelenos and 20 other cities across the U.S. Watch the video above, and if you're into this sort of thing, you can check out the official press release below!
Today, customers in areas such as Los Angeles, Charlotte, N.C., and Memphis, Tenn., will benefit from an all-new 4G LTE experience with Truly UnlimitedSM 4G LTE plans from Sprint
Power data users across the country are discovering 4G LTE in more and more places
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – April 18, 2013 – Sprint (NYSE:S) today announced the availability of its all-new 4G LTE network to customers in 21 more markets, including Los Angeles, Contra Costa County, Calif., Charlotte, N.C., Norfolk, Va., and Memphis, Tenn.

And now through May 9th, customers switching their number to Sprint from another carrier can save up to $100 on any smartphone with a new two-year service agreement and qualifying plan.
The 21 new Sprint 4G LTE markets:
"Today more Americans are using smartphones and tablets to consume entertainment, GPS and applications than ever before," said Bob Azzi, senior vice president-Network, Sprint. "In fact, in 2012, Sprint achieved annual smartphone sales of nearly 20 million. All this requires improved network reliability and speed. Sprint's customers will experience immediate benefits on the 4G LTE network when they stream videos, socialize, play games and interact with thousands of apps using our unlimited data plans."
Sprint continues to bring a better wireless experience to more customers across the country as it builds out its all-new 3G and 4G LTE network. Many Sprint customers are discovering Sprint 4G LTE in cities that haven't yet officially been announced, including Washington, D.C., New York and San Francisco. Sprint has announced more than 170 markets where LTE will be available in the coming months, and is adding the following markets to that list today:
Sprint offers a wide range of 4G LTE devices, including the Sprint Force, Samsung Galaxy Note® II and Kyocera Torque. Sprint expects to continue its smartphone success throughout 2013 with the launch of HTC One® on April 19, Samsung Galaxy S® 4 in the second quarter, and the BlackBerry® Q10 smartphone later this year. The selection of devices, an improving 3G and 4G LTE network experience and Sprint's Everything Data plans – including Any Mobile, AnytimeSM, unlimited Web, texting and calling to and from any mobile in America while on the Sprint Network – makes Sprint the best choice in wireless.
Sprint introduced its all-new 4G LTE network in July 2012 and now offers service in 88 markets nationwide and on Sprint's no contract brands, Virgin Mobile USA and Boost Mobile. Virgin Mobile offers the Galaxy Victory™ 4G LTE, from Samsung with its No-Contract Beyond Talk unlimited data and messaging plans, starting at $35/month.
