text: African participation in AFRO-NETS (2) -------------------------------------- Dear Dave, we should not be so pessimistic about the participation of African colleagues in AFRO-NETS discussions. First of all AFRO-NETS was established only six months ago. From its 380 direct subscribers only 160 are from the African continent, one third of these from South Africa alone. So the subscriber base from other African countries is rather small. Unfortunately electronic communication is not a self-running ball in Africa (and was not - until recently in Europe). There are a lot of misconceptions about the required equipment ("a dedicated computer, a dedicated phone line is needed"), there are fears from superiors about free communication of their staff, there is a lot of training necessary - which is fortunately being tackled by some organisations. Many subscribers are also not used to air their views in front of an international audience. Secondly AFRO-NETS was established as a 'network of networks' to serve not only individuals but also institutions and organisations involved in Health Research and Development on the African continent to build partnerships, to share their experience, share resources and avoid duplications. Since the majority of these networks have a base in overseas it is not surprising that their contributions often do not origin in Africa. I fully agree with you that more participation from our African colleagues in the AFRO-NETS conference is desirable but how to achieve this 'aggressively' needs to be discussed. Regards, Dieter Neuvians AFRO-NETS Moderator mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com -- Send mail for the `AFRO-NETS' conference to `email@example.com'. Mail administrative requests to `email@example.com'. For additional assistance, send mail to: `firstname.lastname@example.com'.

Lately video games are getting a lot of press, in NCAA , IPOs, and now regulation from three foreign trade regulation bodies. The contention is with in-app purchases with free-to-play models. The real issue is how to separate online gambling, online gaming, consumer deception, and addiction, in regards to children.
In 2012, Japan banned Kompu Gacha because it violated its Fair Trade Act. Japan operates similar to the United States in that it has an agency for general consumer complaints (Consumer Affairs Agency [" CAAJ"]) and fair trade best practices (Japanese Fair Trade Commission ["JFTC"]), but unlike the U.S. it is acivil law system. Pay close attention to the CCAJ's reports figure 3-3-7 to see a gradual rise of Gacha complaints, or get the white paper here.
Japan probably banned the Kompu Gacha system in part due to the violationSection 4(ii) because it was not transparent about future cost.
Furthermore, by looking at the article's purpose you can see that it intends to stop misleading practices. However, the government was aware of this type of system for years, but with recent gamification of this concept it has led tochildren abusing the system. The excessive charges created from children are similar to Apple's FTC case. Unlike Japan, the US has already regulated suchsystems.
In Europe, the approach to online games was less strict than in Japan. The Office of Fair Trade("OFT") sent out policies to the video game companies requesting them to make sure their F2P policy is following the Data Protection Act in January. Some have said that these policies are vague. The OFT sent out these policies because the laws that regulate addiction, software, and gambling don't differentiate between online games.
However, due to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013, the Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") will take over for the OFT and the Competition Commission in regards to protecting specific consumers, so we should wait and see who will take the role in the future.
United States
Over in the US, Apple recently settled with the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") in regards to its F2P games on its App store. However, the FTC decision is a little more policy based in that the FTC looks at the damage compared to the overall balance of good, at least according to J. Howard Beales.
Furthermore, the FTC went after Apple rather than a whole industry because the agency also has to examine its requirements for the best case possible and be careful not to overstep its boundaries. Unlike the EU and Japan that can afford to go after a whole industry or specific companies, the FTC has to be careful where they spend their resources.
Food for Thought
Other countries have also regulated the game industry but for parallel reasons.
Most consumer laws are geared to adults, because adults make most of the purchases. However, this policy creates problems when children enter into commerce with little knowledge of how things work and no real steps to get out of the trouble. All three governments used laws or regulations to stop the consumer confusion. Japan used custom to solve its problems rather than pass new legislation or create new memorandums to solve the problem. In this case I felt Japan comes first, US second, and EU last in regards to the best approach to regulating a minor loop hole in the industry.

@indigomoth - Vaginal rejuvenation isn't something people should do casually, in my opinion, since it is a surgery and it is being done on a very sensitive and vital part of the body.
But, that said, if someone wants to take the risk and they have the money to do so, I say, why not?
I mean, I think that people should have the freedom to do what they want. I don't think this is any different from getting a tattoo, or getting your teeth fixed up.
Sure, for some people it crosses a line, but I don't really think we should draw an arbitrary line like that.
It harms no one but possibly the person taking the risk. And the risk isn't all that much. I mean, it sounds no different from a tummy tuck and people do those in the hundreds every day without complications.
I wouldn't do it myself, but I don't judge people who do want to have it done.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - USA Hockey announced today that it will bring two major world championships to Buffalo, New York, in 2015, with both being staged at the soon-to-be-completed HARBORCENTER.
From Jan. 4-12, 2015, the 8th annual International Ice Hockey Federation Under-18 Women's World Championship will take center stage in Buffalo with the top eight nations in the world competing to win the gold medal.
Then from April 24-May 2, 2015, the International Paralympic Committee Ice Sledge Hockey World Championship will be contested with eight nations vying for the coveted gold medal.
"We're extremely pleased to bring these two world championships to HARBORCENTER," said Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey. "The athletes and fans will be treated to a state-of-the-art facility in an area where hockey is an everyday passion. Between the HARBORCENTER and Sabres staff, the local community and our terrific New York affiliate, we have an infrastructure in place that will ensure an outstanding experience for everyone involved."
"To have the opportunity to host two world championships in the span of four months is terrific not only for HARBORCENTER, but also our community," said John Koelmel, president of HARBORCENTER. "We're proud of the confidence USA Hockey has in us and we look forward to welcoming athletes and fans from across the world."
"A strong relationship with USA Hockey is important to us," said Ted Black, president of the Buffalo Sabres. "and we're excited to bring these two world class events to Buffalo and HARBORCENTER. We'll work hard to have visitors leaving these events excited to come back."
HARBORCENTER, which is slated to open in downtown Buffalo in early October, includes two ice sheets, each 200' x 85', as well as 11 lockerrooms. The main arena has seating for 1,800, while the second rink has a capacity of 500.
The IIHF Under-18 Women's World Championship will feature teams from the United States, Canada, Czech Republic and Russia in Group A and Finland, Sweden, Japan and Switzerland in Group B. Team USA, which has played in the gold-medal game in each of the first seven editions of the event, has captured the event's top prize three times (2008, 2009, 2011).
"It's exciting to bring the Under-18 Women's World Championship to HARBORCENTER," said Reagan Carey, director of women's hockey for USA Hockey and also the general manager for the 2015 U.S. Women's National Under-18 Team. "Fans will have a unique opportunity to see the best athletes in the world compete for a gold medal."
The IIHF Under-18 Women's World Championship has been conducted in the United States on just one other occasion, that in 2010 in Woodridge, Illinois, at Seven Bridges Ice Arena.
The IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championship will be staged for the eighth time in 2015. The event, which showcases the world's best sled hockey teams, was played for the first time in 1996 and also conducted in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2012 and 2013.
The United States, which has won the gold medal on two occasions (2009, 2012), has hosted the event twice previously. In 2000, the U.S. finished sixth in Salt Lake City, Utah, while in 2008 Team USA captured the bronze medal in Marlborough, Massachusetts.
The eight participating nations will include the U.S., Canada, Russia, Czech Republic, Norway, Italy, Germany, and Japan.
"Buffalo has such a rich history in sled hockey and it will be terrific to have the world championship in the brand new HARBORCENTER," said Dan Brennan, general manager of the 2015 U.S. National Sled Hockey Team. "Fans will see amazing athletes in an extremely competitive environment."
Full details surrounding both world championships, including schedules and ticket information, will be released at a later date.

About Physician Assistants
Physician assistants are health care professionals licensed or credentialed to practice medicine with physician supervision. As part of their comprehensive responsibilities, PAs take medical histories, conduct physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, counsel on preventive health care, develop and implement treatment plans, assist in surgery, and prescribe medications.
Within the physician-PA relationship, physician assistants exercise autonomy in medical decision-making and provide a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services. A PA's practice may also include education, research, and administrative services.
PAs Today
The American Academy of Physician Assistants estimates that as of May 2010, there are approximately 75,000 PAs in clinical practice in the United States. More than 6 percent — approximately 4,800 — practice in Texas. PAs in clinical practice have an average age of 41. Sixty-four percent are women, and 15 percent hold more than one clinical position.
According to the AAPA, the national average income for PAs in 2009 was $93,105 a year. The average annual income for new PA graduates was $78,405.
Outlook for Tomorrow
The field is strong and growing. Here are some facts that tell the story:
- The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ranks physician assistant as the third fastest-growing occupation and predicts that demand for PA services will increase by 49 percent by 2014.
- Money Magazine ranks the PA profession among the top 10 best jobs in America.
- In 2010, Forbes.com rated the master of physician assistant studies as the number one Master's degree in the U.S.
- In 2009, Money Magazine and Salary.com ranked hundreds of jobs based on growth, pay, stress and other factors. The top five jobs were systems engineer, physician assistant, college professor, nurse practitioner, and IT project manager.
- In October 2009, Yahoo! HotJobs listed physician assistant as one of "six thriving jobs that are here to stay."
Postgraduate Opportunities
After graduation, physician assistants have a host of areas to consider for additional study and specialization, including cardiothoracic surgery, dermatology, emergency medicine, hospitalist care, neonatology, neurology, neurosurgery, obstetrics/gynecology, oncology, orthopaedic surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry, rheumatology, surgery, and urology.
Program's Success in Achieving Goals
- Exceed the U.S. national average first time pass rate on the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE)
- Provide student clinical education opportunities in diverse settings within medically underserved communities
- Demonstrate faculty excellence in all areas of academic scholarship
- UT Southwestern's most recent five year PANCE pass rate is 100 percent, compared to the national average of 92.6 percent over the same time span. Read the official NCCPA report.
- UT Southwestern PA students average 15 weeks per student of clinical experience in medically underserved communities, to include Parkland Health & Hospital System and multiple Dallas-Fort Worth area inpatient and outpatient health care facilities.
- UT Southwestern faculty have been recognized with numerous state and national professional leadership positions, teaching and research awards, research grants, peer-reviewed publications, and many national and international presentations.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 5
Posted By: CassandraDate: July-22, 1998 at 13:18:18
In Response To: Questions about sweat, blood type and diet (OJoan)
Does anyone have personal anecdotes about shifts in ability to prespire related tochange in diet?
I started sweating again not when my diet changed, but once I got rid of my depression (which was at least PARTLY diet related). Apparently there is a connection with 'appropriate' serotonin levels in the brain and the amount you perspire. My hunch is that since you've been on the O diet, your hormone levels, enzyme levels, etc. have normalized to what they should be, which has changed and 'normalized' the amount you perspire. I have only been on it for abou 2 weeks now, so I don't think that is long enough for me to notice any changes WRT myself.
BTW, last night I was talking with my fiance about the summer I was depressed and I asked him if he could remember what we ate a lot of during that time. His response (which jived with my memory)? Pasta, bagels, homemade muffins, etc. were the first things that came to mind, and here I am an O! No wonder I was depressed!

Mr. T brought boy out of coma
I found this online this morning but it was posted on Yahoo News a couple of days ago so I can't chalk it up as an April fools joke. It seems that the great Mr. T helped bring a young boy (who has been unconscious since the mid 80's) out of his coma. Family members had toys (including a Mr. T doll) around the boys bed and doctors noticed that his muscles twitched each time Mr. T's name was said out loud. "Somebody told the doctors I was in town, so they called me down there. I closed the curtains and prayed. Then, as I was walking down the hall, the kid suddenly came out of the coma and hollered out." As a huge fan of the A-Team when I was a kid, I always new he would be put to good use though I never could figure out how Mr. T didn't have neck pain all the time with all the solid gold around his neck. I still have VERY fond memories of him at the first WrestleMania fighting alongside another great, The Hulkster... Now that is a reunion I would like to see again!

Want to get attacked by a Crocodile?
The Story of this missing arm can be found here. Are looking for a good time or maybe to build up your story repertoire for the next staff party? Interested in getting attached by a croc but having a difficult time closing the deal? Get yourself drunk, visit your local watering hole at night and go swimming. According to the latest research by Queensland crocodile expert Dr. Mark Read, most of the attacks were a combination of alcohol, swimming and the dark. "People are getting cocky and thinking they know what they are doing, which is bad. It is a case of the number of people who continue to swim in known crocodile habitat; in 80 per cent of the attacks people were swimming or wading in these areas. "About 40 per cent of these attacks were late afternoon or evening when predators like crocodiles are most active and most dangerous. "The other outstanding factor was 40 per cent of people attacked were acting under the influence of alcohol." More info: news.com.au

Video of a wind turbine self destructing (Ouch)
Part of my ongoing fascination with big things coming to an end. Take a look at this video of a wind turbine in Denmark breaking apart during a very recent wind storm. Apparently the internal breaking system failed; causing the blades to spin out of control. More info: Minister demands explanation for windmill collapse

Sunk Boats Frozen in Ice and Time
I love the blog English Russia. Their tag line is, "Just because something cool happens daily on 1/6 of the earths surface". Rarely does it ever have anything to do with canoes or kayaks but who cares when they post photos like the ones above. I love big rusty stuff and there is a lot of that in different parts of Russia. The link has a great collection of photos of abandoned ships half sunk in the ice that were taken somewhere near Kamchatka, Russia. There is something about abandoned boats that completely scare me. I fully expect something scary to jump out and eat me even these are only photos. Don't tell anybody but I also have a hard time watching the cool boat search scene from the movie, "The Usual Suspects".

The Case of the Washed up Right Feet
Seems to be a bit of a mystery afoot off the shores of the BC coast. The RCMP and the B.C. Coroners Service are investigating what are officially termed three incidents of sudden death, following the latest discovery of a bodyless right foot inside a running shoe on Valdes Island, British Columbia on Feb. 8.

February 13, 2013, 9:14 pm
Yeah I do attract boy racers, I think the ones who don't know what car it is think I might just have an ordinary Fiesta that I've our stripes on, its funny when you leave them standing at the lights
Loads of people keep telling me to get the windows tinted put that white strip around the edges is one of my pet hates. I'm a fussy git
I'm told the seats are made/styled by Ricaro, they're proper comfy and keep my bum warm with the heated function...always good on chilly mornings

February 13, 2013, 11:00 pm
Haha yeah good point about the stripes
Yeah it has heated seats and its got Bluetooth connectivity, don't know if they were optional extras or not as the car was 8 months old when I bought it. Life has never been quite the same since haha

Is NASA focusing too much on Mars? (+video)
Even as the Curiosity Mars rover was still testing its equipment in preparation for its surface mission, NASA has unveiled plans for another unmanned mission to Mars. Is the agency playing favorites?
NASA unveiled plans this week for a brand-new mission to Mars in 2016, even as its newest rover was just settling in on the Red Planet. But space agency officials say it's not a case of Red Planet favoritism.
On Monday (Aug. 20), NASA announced that its next low-budget exploration effort will launch a lander called InSight to Mars in 2016 to investigate the Red Planet's interior. InSight's selection comes barely two weeks after the agency's $2.5 billion Curiosity rover touched down inside Mars' huge Gale Crater.
NASA's golf-cart-size Opportunity rover is still cruising around the Red Planet more than eight years after it landed with its twin, Spirit. And the space agency has two orbiters — Mars Odyssey and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter — actively observing the planet from above.
No other planet has received nearly this much attention in recent years. But NASA isn't too narrowly focused, officials said.
"We still have an extremely broad portfolio of missions, you know, heading out into the solar system now — for instance, Juno on its way to Jupiter, Osiris-Rex being worked in preparation for its mission to an asteroid," John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, told reporters Monday. "And so I think we've shown very broad diversity in past selections."

AXA's Penn predicts increase in M&A
PUBLISHED: 17 Jun 2010 14:48:34 | UPDATED: 18 Jun 2010 04:01:54PRINT EDITION: 17 Jun 2010AXA APH chief executive Andrew Penn Photo: Michele Mossop
The chief executive of takeover target AXA Asia Pacific Holdings Ltd (AXA APH) has predicted an increase in merger and acquisition activity in the financial sector.
Andrew Penn said on Thursday the global financial crisis had forced massive change in the world's financial services industries.
"We will most likely see, and indeed are already beginning to see, an increase in global M&A activity including AXA," Mr Penn told the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (Finsia) Asia Financial Services Summit.
AXA APH is at the centre of a takeover tussle, with National Australia Bank Ltd's $13.29 billion bid for the insurance and superannuation giant knocked back by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
NAB's bid is higher than an earlier $12.85 billion bid by AMP Ltd for AXA APH.
Mr Penn did not make any other comment on the potential deal.
A key theme of Mr Penn's speech was the potential for Australian financial services companies to expand into the Asian region.
"It is very clear to me ... that Australian financial services companies have seriously under-exploited the opportunity of the very exciting Asian markets that sit on our doorstep," Mr Penn said.
"There is a very significant opportunity for Australia and Australian companies to play a more meaningful role in the region.
"However, it is an opportunity that needs to be grasped, save it passing us by."
Mr Penn said AXA APH's own business in Asia had grown to $9.4 billion, from $50 million in 1986.
"Our growth continues to accelerate with year-to-date sales in the region to the end of May up 57 per cent compared to the same period in 2009," he said.
For the first six months of 2009, AXA APH's revenue in Asia totalled $790 million. A 57 per cent increase on that would total $1.24 billion, assuming that June's growth is equivalent to the growth seen to May.

Eurogroup President's Gaffe Speaks a Simple Truth
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The drama of Cyprus so far would have humbled Shakespeare. First, the troika wanted to rob the rich Russian depositors in Cyprus, by proposing a tax on deposits over 100,000 euros. Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades took one for the Russian compatriots by insisting on smaller depositors sharing the pain.
Perhaps the troika thought, "Ok, it's your skin so cook it your way," and agreed to the Grand Cypriot Bank Robbery, thoroughly embarrassing themselves. The ensuing delay and chaos may have bought crucial time for some to pull some money out of Cyprus.
With such great achievement, Anastasiades was probably quite optimistic when he approached Moscow for financing, possibly throwing the off-shore natural gas field, albeit with contested ownership, into the mix. Alas, Russians weren't the least bit interested. With the troika in disgrace, the Eurogroup stepped in, picked up the troika idea of targeting big depositors, called it "not tax" and, voila, the problem is magically solved.
This is where the audience heaves a sigh of collective relief. And this is where Shakespeare taps out and reality gets one up.
Shortly after the U.S. markets opened in celebration mode, current president of the Eurogroup, Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, held a joint interview with Reuters and the Financial Times. Beaming with confidence, made more spectacular by the epic failure of the troika, Dijsselbloem claimed that it "represents a new template for resolving eurozone banking problems," as reported by Reuters. There was a great disturbance in the force, as if six billion souls cried out and then went silent. Dijsselbloem tried to undo the damage hours later. But what's heard cannot be unheard. His words had already sent fear into the heart of every eurozone depositor and market participant worldwide. Risk-off ensued and prevailed.Politically, Mr. Dijsselbloem's "template" remark is most inept. The first rule of banking is you never talk about loss to deposits. The emperor may not have any clothes, but you don't talk about it. The audacity also highlights the refreshing honesty. This is why it stuck. The simple reality is the latest Cyprus model is a much fairer and more sensible approach to solving banking crisis than the bail-outs that have become the norm in U.S. and Europe.

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
Between GM's ignition switches and Takata's airbags, it's been a big year for recalls, but they keep rolling in. The latest comes from Chrysler, which has announced a pair of recalls for certain heavy-duty pickups and SUVs.
Software glitches that randomly illuminate warning lights and cause instrument cluster blackouts are forcing Chrysler to recall 140,800 vehicles, The Detroit News reports. The automaker is recalling 132,000 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees, 91,559 of which are in the US. In addition to the Jeep recalls, Chrysler is adding 10,800 2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks to the list for similar problems.
Chrysler's spate of successful products is about to be marred by a trio of recalls. The Pentastar is recalling 51,477 Ram trucks and Jeep SUVs. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there have been no reported accidents, injuries or deaths related to the affected vehicles.
Chrysler has done a pretty good job as of late turning its television commercials into pep talks or rallying cries, but for its first ad for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it turned to Al Pacino's inspirational speech from the movie Any Given Sunday. In the movie, Pacino's character talks about how football is a game of inches, but the commercial, titled Chip Away, focuses more on the attention to detail that Jeep has exhibited on its updated flagship SUV.
This is indeed a case of not knowing how much we wanted something until it arrived. We've been big fans of the Jeep Grand Cherokee ever since the new model arrived a couple of years ago, and while the update you see here might seem just a slight refresh, it's actually much more than that.
Traditionally, automotive journalists can be heard muttering something to the effect of "Geeze, it's about time!" whenever a vehicle's midcycle refresh is revealed. As we routinely see and drive new models many months before the public even claps eyes on them in showrooms – and then go on to tweeze apart their minutia in our daily writings – perhaps some impatience is to be expected. With so much exposure to a given vehicle, it's fair to say we tire of most cars and trucks far more q

Answer A Question
How many miles per hour can a human run?
Asked by anonymous -
This question can also be asked as:
If a person runs one mile in 4 minutes how fast are they running in miles per hour?
how fast can a human physically run a mile?
Can a human run 10 miles in an hour?
Highest Rated Answer
Typical runners complete the marathon in times between 3 and 5 hours, for speeds of 5.25 to 8.75 miles per hour.
Race Strategy
There are currently three basic approaches to completing the marathon distance. Running,[6] alternating run and walk,[7] and walking. Training plans based on one of these three approaches are typically adopted before starting serious training.
For perspective, the average adult in reasonable physical condition can walk at about 3.5 miles per hour. That speed for 26.2 miles would mean an elapsed time of seven and a half hours. Most marathons close their courses 6 to 8 hours after the start of the race. To complete a marathon in six hours requires an average speed over the entire 26.2 miles of 4.4 miles per hour. Typical runners complete the marathon in times between 3 and 5 hours, for speeds of 5.25 to 8.75 miles per hour.
The world records for men and women are slightly over 2 hours, with average speeds of up to 12.5 miles per hour, three to four times as fast as the average walker.
There is an emotional bias on the part of some athletes against walking any part of a marathon. According to this point of view, marathons are about covering the 26.2 mile distance in minimal time, for a personal best. The only way to accompish this is by actually running the entire distance.
Progressive Training Strategy
Training for a marathon does not start with running 26.2 miles. As with most athletic training, the distance run gradually increases about 10% per week over a period of time,[8] [9] with adequate rest and recovery between runs.
Recreational runners typically run between 3 and 6 days a week, with most doing 4 or 5 days of running.[citation needed] Some runners may do two-a-days, meaning two training runs in a single day.
A typical week may involve a long run during the weekend, a half long (or "medium") run during the week, and two quarter long runs as well. (The half long run is roughly half the distance of the long run for that week, and the quarter long runs are one-quarter the distance of the long run.) There are probably as many weekly schedules as there are trainers and runners. The total distance covered on a weekly basis may start at about 12 miles a week and build gradually to 40?50 miles. Generally, it is not advised that recreational runners exceed about 50 miles per week, as the probability of injury increases. Many elite athletes train at more than 100 miles per week.
Adequate rest is required for building strength. Muscles do not build strength during the training exercise, they lose strength during the training exercise because of the stress of the exercise. Muscles gain strength during recovery from exercise, when the muscle rebuilds itself, repairing the damage done by exercise. The repaired muscle is generally stronger, hence the basis behind gradually increasing stress in the course of training.
Marathon training has an additional goal after a basic level of running training is attained. The goal is no longer to gain strength, but to increase endurance. Increased endurance is accomplished by training the muscles, particularly the leg muscles, to store more glycogen and make better use of the stored glycogen. However, muscles respond to the same training regimen for endurance as they do for strength, increased stress followed by adequate rest can increase endurance. The difference is in the training exercise, running progressively longer increases endurance, doing squats with progressively higher weights increases strength.
There is no single plan to train for a marathon or any other major physical challenge. Individuals vary in their initial fitness, biomechanics, desire, and time, as well as time and ability to train. While a specific plan may be adopted and prove successful for a specific individual, another individual may find that plan unsuitable. All plans share some common characteristics, however.
Training for sprints, or short runs, is completely different from distance running training, and requires different training strategies.
[edit] Long Runs
The long run is the heart of the marathon training process. The goal of the long run is to gradually increase the ability of the runner to cover the 26.2 mile marathon distance. Long runs may start at 6 miles, and build a mile a week to about 14 or 15 miles. At beyond 15 miles (approximately), more than a single week of recovery is generally necessary, so the schedule switches to a two-week plan, with a shorter "long run" between full long runs. Typically the shorter long run may be 70% of the distance of the long run (a 16 mile run, then a 12 mile run, then an 18 mile run.[10]
For most recreational runners, distances over about 15 miles increase the probability of injury and so more recovery is needed between long runs at these distances.
The maximum distance for long training runs is usually 18 to 22 miles,[10] Many runners, however, are just as successful with multiple 20 or 22 mile long runs in the weeks before the marathon. Unlike other events, a two or three week tapering period after the last long run and before the marathon allows the runner to store up energy to cover the remaining distance.
Pace during long runs should be conversational, meaning that one should be able to carry on a conversation; it is not necessary to run at top speed. Long runs at less than top speed (60 to 70% of maximum exertion level) train the body to store energy more efficiently and make more effective use of oxygen.
Speed training is generally done with shorter runs, using tempo runs or interval training (see below).
[edit] Periodization
Rather than a single progressive plan, where the running mileage increases every week, periodization involves three steps up, followed by one step back, then three steps ahead again. For example, the three steps might be 15, 16, then 18 mile long runs, followed by stepping back to 16, then 18, then 20 mile long runs. The one step back, three steps forward process allows the body additional time to recover, without much loss of training fitness.
Periodizaton was developed in Eastern Europe for weight training, but its underlying principal can be used in any sport utilizing progressive training techniques. [11]
[edit] Recovery
Speeding recovery after long runs, and even after every training run, can improve the training experience.
During training runs, particularly longer training runs, three major changes occur in the muscles used for running: glycogen in the muscles is depleted; microscopic damage is done to the muscles themselves; and lactic acid waste products are left behind.
Glycogen stored in the muscles are reloaded by consuming complex carbohydrates shortly after running. Muscle damage is repaired by rest and the consumption of proteins. Lactic acid can be removed by soaking the legs and lower body in cold or ice water, forcing the body to pump more blood than normal through those muscles to maintain warmth, more rapidly repairing muscle damage and flushing out the waste lactic acid.
Glycogen is stored in the muscles and is the source of energy used during running, when glycogen is utilized by the body to create the energy to run, the waste product is lactic acid. During most lower intensity physical activity, the body can dispose of lactic acid at a sufficiently rapid rate. Intense running (and other intense physical activities) leave lactic acid deposits in the muscles themselves because the body cannot get rid of the waste fast enough. The longer the exercise, the more lactic acid buildup there is in the muscles. Lactic acid accounts for some of the stiffness after a long run. An effective strategy for removing this waste lactic acid is to soak the lower part of the body in cold or ice water for a short period of time (about 20 minutes). The cold causes the body to pump blood into the muscles and cleans out the waste products in the process. (Ice packs and cold soaks are used in other sports as well, such as basketball and football.)
The Glycogen stored in the muscles that was consumed during a run should be replaced prior to the next run. In the first couple of hours after the run, the human body will more easily convert complex carbohydrates to glycogen. Failure to adequately replace the glycogen over time will lead the runner to slower and slower times, and runs that take more effort instead of runs that take less effort.
Protein consumed in the hours after a run will also speed muscle recovery.
A well-balanced, post training run meal, combining both protein and complex carbohydrates, immediately supplies the body with the materials to recover from the training stress, and prepares the body for the next training session.
[edit] Tempo Runs
Speed for long distance running can be improved using a number of training strategies, with tempo runs [12][13] considered the best by most trainers at this time. A tempo run consists of a warm up phase, a tempo pace phase, and a cool down phase. Typically the warm up and cool down phases may cover one or two miles, while the tempo pace phase may be two to six miles (or 20 to 35 minutes), depending on the individual and the goals.
Tempo pace is usually run at what is called the individual's Lactate threshold,[14] which has been determined in laboratory and other tests to be the optimal metabolic rate at which an individual can train. At this pace, the body is removing lactic acid as fast as it is being produced, any faster and lactic acid will build up in the individual's system, any slower and optimal training does not result.
Every individual has a different lactate threshold pace, which increases over time as that individual trains more and more.
Using a heart rate monitor is generally the easiest way for an individual to monitor pace; the training pace should be at 80 to 90% of heart rate reserve.[15]
[edit] Interval Training
Another form of speed training is called Interval training. It is similar to tempo training in that the intervals are run at lactate threshold pace, but differs by using shorter distances (typically 200, 400, or 800 meters) and more repetitions (4 to 8 per training session).
Interval training is generally beneficial more in training to race shorter distances than the full marathon.
[edit] Other Speed Training
Other speed training techniques, such as Fartlek, can also be used, but the results in general will not be as good as those from tempo training.[citation needed]
The primary difference between the various methods is one of duration. Tempo runs are long sustained runs at the lactate pace, and thus are somewhat regimented. Interval training uses shorter runs at the same pace and are also regimented. Fartlek on the other hand is not regimented, but is running fast for some distance using the feel of the runner as the gauge. Unlike tempo or interval runs, fartlek is not measurable, so it is hard to determine if progress is being made.[citation needed] However, for a recreational runner, measuring progress in terms of numbers may not be the goal.
[edit] Form
Proper running form reduces the probability of injury, conserves energy, and improves speed.
Sprinters use a different form than distance runners.
Elite distance runners typically hold their bodies erect, look ahead (not at the ground) and run from the hips.
The result is a smooth running motion with the shoulders and head moving parallel to the ground instead of bobbing up and down. Impact on the feet and shock to the knees and hips are reduced, because the foot impacts the ground with less force. Instead the heel or rear portion of the foot gently touches the ground, pushes the body forward, and lifts easily for the next stride.
Videos at sites such as Road Runner Sports[16], You Tube [17] and Runner's World [18] can be used to learn proper form.
[edit] Cross Training
Marathons exercise more of the body than just the legs. The typical marathon runner may take between three and five hours to complete the 26.2 mile distance. This requires other parts of the body to be adapted to this amount of stress for that period of time.
[edit] Core Training
Core training involves training the lower back, oblique and abdominal muscles (those muscles at the core of the body just above the waist) to keep the runner upright and vertical during the entire run. Elite distance runners typically run with the upper body in a vertical position using the core muscles and running from the hips and thighs.
Core muscles do not receive much training during running, typically various weight or special exercises are done at other times (such as on non-running days) to strengthen the core.
"Plank" exercises (plank, side plank, back plank, dog) are one popular form of these exercises. The body is supported on the toes and the elbows (or hands, similar to a push-up) in the plank, and kept in that position for up to a minute. Variations have the athlete raise a leg, raise a leg and hold it up, or pump the hips.
Side planks support the body on the side of one foot and a hand or elbow on the same side of the body. Leg raises, bicycle motions and other motions can make this more challenging.
The goal of these exercises are to use the body's weight and a horizontal position (face down, face up, or sideways) to strengthen all the muscles involved in keeping the body in a straight line from head to toe. No extra weights are typically used, instead the positions are held for longer and longer periods of time.
Sites such as Runner's World.[19] have training videos that demonstrate various core training techniques.
[edit] Walking
Walking uses most of the same muscles as running, but at a lower intensity. Depending on the training level of the athlete, walking can be an effective cross training exercise.
[edit] Weight Training
The marathon is a long event involving the entire body ? the upper body to a lesser extent than the legs. Leg strength gained with weight training improves hill climbing ability. Training of the core muscles (those around the waist and hips) using weighted crunches, situps, and straight leg dead lifts, improves posture as well as speed, and reduces effort.
Sites such as ExRx.net[20] have various weight training exercises and training plans that can be adapted for use by runners.
Some runners feel that weight training is not useful because they think it will lead to too much muscle bulk. However, there is no requirement that the recreational athlete use as much weight as weight lifters. Using only the weight of the runner's body limits the strength that can be gained; using weights to further stress the muscles leads to greater strength.

Other Answers
what is the fastest human running speed
a human can ran 39 miles per hour
Wrong Answer. Correct Answer : Human can run max speed with 23.35 Miles/ Hour.
It depends on what you are asking for. I assumed the 23.35 MPH is based on the current 100m world record. 23.35 MPH measures the avarage speed of the 100m. The top speed of that 100m race could be more than 30 MPH if you think about it.
well about 25mph i wreckon!
no, they can't. Fastest is about 23 mph. Over 1 mile about 13.5 mph.
I think Jan is right.
Thank you, xMelancholyPast. I didn't realized that my answer was cut off because it was too long and the site I got the answer from is missing. That's probably why I only got the 90%. Jan
A lot of conjecture, however the current world record for the mile is approximately 3:43 minutes. That's 16.13 miles per hour. The current record for the 100 meters is 9.72 seconds. That's approximately 23 miles per hour. The current half-marathon (13.1 miles) record is 58:33 minutes. That's about 13.43 miles per hour. So depending on how far they're running, it's between about 23 miles per hour and 13 miles per hour. Probably the most accurate way to state it is that a very fast human can around nearly 13.5 miles in an hour.
i can run 1 mile or get heart attack!

Scrofula is a tuberculous infection of the lymph nodes in the neck.
Tuberculous adenitis
Scrofula in adults is most often caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In children, can also be caused by Mycobacterium scrofulaceum or Mycobacterium avium.
Infection with mycobacteria is usually caused by breathing in air that is contaminated by these organisms.
Tests to diagnose scrofula include:
When infection is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, treatment usually involves 9 - 12 months of antibiotics. Several antibiotics need to be used at once. Common antibiotics for scrofula include:
When infection is caused by another type of mycobacteria (which often occurs in children), treatment usually involves antibiotics such as rifampin, ethambutol, and clarithromycin.
Surgery is sometimes used first. It may also be used if medications are not working.
With treatment, patients usually make a complete recovery.
Call your health care provider if your child has a swelling or group of swellings in the neck. Scrofula can occur in children who have not been exposed to someone with tuberculosis.
People who have been exposed to someone with tuberculosis of the lungs should have a PPD test.

I've worn the black version of these shorts out to the nth degree and have convinced myself that lace shorts are now a wardrobe basic so it felt not too crazy to go for them in coral. More colors please Lover! I broke them in yesterday with a Rag & Bone mullet top and 2011 throwback footwear.

Bandana print has seeped into my closet like the liquid it isn't over the past couple of years but this rendition is the most fun yet. Children's summer pajama-like with a nice boxy cut and subtly slitted up shorts, a lot of requirements are being checked here. I wanted to keep the look sleek so paired the set with my beautiful new oh and first ever Manolos for an afternoon in Santa Monica. Not really casual but not too done – ideal.

Combat Situations
Combat Visibility can create (or negate) a competitive presence overnight. Strategically planned combat signage is focused, cost effective and can be executed in days, not weeks. The timely and effective delivery of the message is imperative, especially at street level during combat situations.
Ask yourself these questions
- How can I gain the attention of potential customers when they have other options available (i.e. our competitors)?
- When should the competitive retail promotion begin?
- What will communicate, "I'm here, choose me!"?

With the improvements in flexible instrumentation, hip arthroscopy is being increasingly used to treat a variety of hip pathology, including labral tears. However, up to this point, there has not been a case report of an anterior and a posterior labral tear successfully repaired arthroscopically. We present a case report of a 27-year-old male firefighter who presented to our institution with an anterior and posterior labral tear, as well as a cam lesion and loose body, following a traumatic hip dislocation. The purpose of this case report is to illustrate that both anterior and posterior labral tears can be repaired using hip arthroscopy. Anterior and posterior labral tears can be caused by a traumatic hip dislocation, and both can be successfully repaired using arthroscopic techniques.

Carrion beetles of the subfamily Nicrophorinae search and bury a carcass that they utilize for reproduction. After burial, the carcass is coated with oral secretions that delay its decomposition. Previously, oral secretions of Nicrophorus marginatus were found to show antimicrobial activity, whereas secretion of N. carolinus lacked significant activity. Here, we tested the effects of temperature, sex of the beetle, and food type on the antimicrobial properties of oral secretions of both species. Unlike previous findings, we found that oral secretions of N. carolinus had antimicrobial activity. Temperature had significant effects on the amount of secretion protein. When protein concentrations were standardized to 1 µ/ml, N. marginatus secretions had higher antimicrobial activity at cooler temperatures, while N. carolinus had higher activity at warmer ones. The sex of the beetle did not affect antimicrobial activity for either species. Beetles of both species that were fed whole rats contained more protein in their oral secretions than beetles fed with equally sized pieces of raw ground beef. After standardizing the resulting protein concentrations to 1 µg/ml, antimicrobial activity of oral secretion increased for N. carolinus after rat feeding, but not for N. marginatus. Our results highlight key ecological differences between these closely related species. In addition, they demonstrate the importance of experiments being conducted under varying environmental conditions when evaluating species for potential antimicrobial compounds.

Just when I thought the startitis around here was ebbing, I found out about a new baby I get to knit for. I'll be posting this weekend and next week about some baby gift knitting. In the meantime, starting all these projects has led me deep into the bowels of Google (and my bookmark collection) for some interesting new ways to cast on for projects. One of the things I love about knitting is that even if you have been doing it for years, you can still constantly learn cool new tricks. Here are five interesting cast on techniques that you might not have tried yet.
1. Disappearing Loop for casting on in the middle, via TECHknitting
This tutorial explains how to cast on in the middle of a row of stitches without a bulky slip knot, crochet stitches, or having to graft. This would be perfect for a triangular lace shawl worked from the wide part to the point (such as Icarus). Wish I had found this one sooner!
2. Tubular Cast On for neat edge, via My Fashionable Life
This cast on makes an interesting rolled under edge. It looks good in ribbing and work well for sweaters or other apparel with ribbed edges (hats? mittens?). The technique involves casting on with waste yarn.
3. Waste Yarn Provisional Cast On for live stitches on both sides, via Knitty
This article from a back issue of Knitty shows you how to work three cast ons: provisional, backward loop, and tubular. I chose this article for the clear instructions of my favorite (so far, at least) provisional cast on. The purpose of these is so that you can have live stitches on both sides of the cast on. This is useful if you are making a symmetrical scarf or stole, starting in the middle. It is also useful for working hemmed garments. I find this waste yarn way much much easier than the versions that involve crochet. However, if you want to try the crochet way, check out this clear tutorial from the Purl Bee.
4. I-cord Cast On for corded edge, via Whimsical Knitting Designs
This method would work for any project that you would like to have a corded edge. I think it would be really interesting to use this on a Chanel-type jacket and finish the whole thing with I cord, perhaps in a contrasting color. It might also help make a neat edge for a blanket, pillow or dishcloth project.
5. Old Norwegian Cast On, aka Twisted German Cast On, via Knitting Daily and You Tube
This method is my all time favorite and old standby. I learned this as a child, which is probably why I think it is easy. Most adults who I have taught to knit have found it tricky. If this is new to you, I highly recommend sticking to the tutorials long enough to master it. It makes a neat, somewhat elastic edge for everything and it doesn't have any of the short-comings of the most commonly used cast on methods (I am thinking of having to measure out enough yarn in advance and that annoying long gap between the stitches with long tail and backward loop). If the video linked in the heading doesn't quite work for you, try the written directions at Knitting Daily or this Lucy Neatby video. It's worth it!
If you have additional suggestions about casting on, don't be shy! Post to the comments!
Five for Friday is a series of posts that feature lists of my top five favorite fiber-related items in a specific category.

Gnome users have a gripe that there is no pure Gnome flavour of Ubuntu which they can simply download and install without having to add PPAs or install extra packages. I have been a long time Gnome user (recently switched to KDE due to Unity) and have been looking for a pure Gnome-based version of Ubuntu. I dabbled with Gnome Shell Ubuntu Remix and liked it.
Some Muktware fans were also considering the possibility of Gubuntu. Unfortunately we did not see much initiative from Ubuntu teams to create a Gnome flavour. Either way all the derivatives were driven by the community and not core Ubuntu team. This expectation of mine was based on the fact that Gnome was the default of Ubuntu. We have good news for Gnome fans.
Jan Hoffman the creator of Gnome Shell Ubuntu Remix informed that Jeremy Bicha has posted on Google Plus that it is planned to create a Ubuntu Gnome flavor for 12.10, "Goal for the 12.10 release cycle: Ubuntu GNOME, shipping GNOME apps with the default GNOME configurations."
A session is planned in UDS to "Discuss what demand there is to make a GNOME flavor of Ubuntu, what it would contain and if it would have patches over upstream GNOME and what work needs to be done to make it happen."
Our Gubuntu related stories got massive response which indicated that these is a huge demand for Gnome 3 shell, so Gnome Flavour of Ubuntu may bring more users to Ubuntu.

Are there any ideas for more evil/criminal champions? My favorite lore champions are Vladimir and Karthus because of their creepy and evil stories.
Mr. Ransom, what do you feel about Lulu X Veigar shipping? I actually really like it. I would like to see a Fae Bride Lulu and Dark Groom Veigar, without his hat to finally show his cat face once and for all. What do you think about this?
I've seen some speculation saying 'C' is Vi's little vandal sister, 'X'. What with the whole CXVI thing. CXVI - VI = CX, C = X. However, C is a cat burglar who left a calling card marked 'C' at every crime scene. X is destructive and vandalizes property marked with "X WUZ HERE" at the scene of her crimes and has not been hinted as being a thief. So no, I don't think X and C are the same people. But that's just my theory.
