"(Slightly related, I ran my first marathon by only doing one long run a week, a running trainer told me it was stupid but it worked!)"You're in good company, Greg. I used to train with a guy who ran 2:35 for the marathon on 35 miles/week, with one long run and the rest devoted to short fast runs. It can be done.
"There is one area that I do disagree with some posters. Heavy upper body weight training is a waste for thru hiking training. All of that precious muscle mass will be lost. So fast twitch, slow twitch, who knows, it's all just walking."I disagree, having hiked many times with women in particular that needed help putting their packs on. So for this, at least, you need a minimum of 'one max' strength at least equal to your pack weight. I also have found that I excel on steep uphill and downhill hikes where I can use my arms/chest/back to brace (downhill) and pull (uphill). Sometimes I even swing from overhead tree branches when on a steep downhill-merely because I can ;) I guess I just have that gorilla factor from decades of rock climbing...upper body strength also allows me to make maximum use of my poles, and really power through uphill cross-country skiing sections. I hope I never need to walk a 30 mile plus day. In our terrain that would be inconceivable, and in lesser terrain I think I would find it incredibly boring, much like I find distance running and cycling! But, yes, if long distance hiking is your thing, then you need to do lots of long distance hiking to be fit for it. But just because genetically gifted Kenyans train with nothing but running to win distance races, it does not mean that power training will lead to no improvements, merely that they don't need that extra couple of percentages to win races. As for growing new myocytes, recent research has shown that it is possible, but not to a great extent. But you CAN increase the number of mitochondria in a specific muscle fibre by good training principles.
Thanks to Dave and Lynn for adding some research and evidence to the discussion. You saved me from pulling similar info from my own files. I have been blessed to have some success as a distance runner and as a coach of runners from the HS level to some elite national and WC athletes. People need to not confuse top runners with the back of the pack marathoners or even some good local runners. Many are incredibly strong in terms of strength to weight ratios. Years ago we were doing a clinic and someone asked Frank Shorter how strong marathoners needed to be. His reply was that they should be able to lift at least their own body weight over their heads! Many of the best distance runners are quite strong.My running group used to have contests after workouts to see who could walk the farthest on our hands and also to see who could do the most handstand pushups. As to the discussion about the differences between fast and slow twitch muscle fibers, training and performance, please be aware that much of what shows up in all variety of fitness magazines and even from the mouth of some trainers at fitness centers is all too often simplistic and misleading. There is great complexity in the relationship between different fiber types and the manner in which athletes recruit and use muscle fibers of all types. The bottom line as demonstrated by Piper's experience: Get fit, get strong, and you will live and move with greater ease!
"Or, as I call them, "stairs". Just stairs. No gym membership, no $2000 equipment, nothing to plug in the wall or take up space in your house. Just stairs - up AND DOWN - at home, at the office, a hotel while traveling."For sure. Fortunately I work in a 10 story building AND live close to a 300m hill. However, it is really hard to 'train' for a 1500m steep descent without actually doing a 1500m descent, non-stop. Ascents are not as hard to simulate in a gym. This really struck home for me when our gym organised an overnight hike, the ascent was 400m, and everyone was OK after that. Next day was back down the same (steep) 400m, and soooo many of the folks not used to hiking suffered bad DOMS from that. Their muscles simply were not used to that kind of eccentric exercise.
Dave...hmmm...the battle over muscle physiology. What great fun! But I have to say you seem to have only a cursory understanding here.First of all, define "strength…"You can't, because it doesn't actually mean anything; there is no definition for it clinically or experimentally. We use the terms "muscle performance" or "force generating capacity" because "strength" has no real meaning. The amount of force a muscle can generate depends on so many things, including available metabolites, readiness of the neuromuscular junction, the length-tension relationship of the muscle fibers, etc etc."And intervals. God I hate intervals. But I do them for their effect on my cardiovascular system and less for endurance"You seem to have some more definitions a-kilter...Your cardiovascular system IS endurance – otherwise, what is muscle endurance? The muscle can only contract as long as it has oxygen and Ca2+ and ATPase etc available. This comes from an efficient cardiovascular system to deliver these to the oxidative muscle fibers, as well as to flush out waste products. Without that your muscle functions anaerobically – which we've all experienced doesn't really last very long at all.You can be as powerful as possible, but without the ability to quickly and efficiently move metabolites and wastes from the working muscle then it will no longer contract. "Endurance training" does exactly this: it trains the muscle to be able to move products through quickly and efficiently – the one who can do it the best will last the longest in physical exertion."...does not mean fatiguing the muscle until it can't contract. Can you imagine hiking that way? Hiking until you pass out due to fatigue"We are talking TRAINING, not the actual hiking. In order to improve the force generating capacity of the muscle you HAVE to challenge it to fatigue. If you choose to increase the level of mitochondria in order to improve the length of time you can contract a muscle, you challenge it to fatigue. If you want to increase the cross sectional area of a muscle then you need to hypertrophy the fibers…by, you guessed it, challenging it to fatigue. It's called Wolff's Law: your body adapts directly to loads placed on it."a stronger muscle does not work as hard as a weaker muscle to produce the same force, providing a lot of stored energy in reserve should it be required. Strength training simply improves the muscle's ability and capacity to do more work"Not quite. First of all, what is a "stronger" muscle? One with greater cross sectional area? One with a better length-tension relationship? You are looking at this from a strict physics perspective rather than one that involves oxidation and ATPase and Ca2++ that is involved in repeated muscle contraction. The muscle doesn't really store much energy in reserve as you would expect…it has to use it efficiently (thus, you TRAIN it to do so). And I'm also not really sure where you get the idea that a "stronger" muscle doesn't work as hard. Here is the salient part of a paper that compared marathon outcomes between recreational runners to participated in a strength training program and those who did not (I thought that applied to us a bit better than the elite athlete studies) "No significant differences between the groups and no significant interaction (time × intervention) were found for VO2 (absolute and relative to VO2peak) at defined marathon running velocities (2.4 and 2.8 m·s⁻¹) and submaximal blood lactate thresholds (2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 mmol·L⁻¹). Stride length and stride frequency also remained unchanged. The results suggest no benefits of an 8-week concurrent strength training for running economy and coordination of recreational marathon runners despite a clear improvement in leg strength, maybe because of an insufficient sample size or a short intervention period. (Ferrauti A, Bergermann M, Fernandez-Fernandez J. Effects of a concurrent strength and endurance training on running performance and running economy in recreational marathon runners. J Strength Cond Res. 2010 Oct;24(10):2770-8. doi: 10.1519/JSC.0b013e3181d64e9c)So…IN CONCLUSION…..All the force generating capacity in the world is meaningless if you don't have endurance. Why can't sprinters compete with marathoners? Why can't a marathoner run a 100m dash in <10 seconds? Because the sprinter has no endurance (but has power), and the marathoner has endurance but no power. What do we see here? Specificity of training!
You can be whatever you want to be! As long as you train intensely enough....."The mechanical properties of slow and fast muscles do adapt to programs of regular exercise. Endurance exercise training has been shown to increase the Vo of the slow soleus by 20%. This increase could have been caused by either a small increase in all, or most, of the fibers, or to a conversion of a few fibers from slow to fast. Recently, the increase was shown to be caused by the former, as the individual slow Type I fibers of the soleus showed a 20% increase in Vo, but there was little or no change in the percentage of fast fibers. The increased Vo was correlated with, and likely caused by, an increased fiber ATPase. We hypothesize that the increased ATPase and cross-bridge cycling speed might be attributable to an increased expression of fast MLCs in the slow Type I fibers (Fig. 14.10). This hypothesis is based on the fact that light chains have been shown to be involved in the power stroke, and removal of light chains depresses force and velocity. Regular endurance exercise training had no effect on fiber size, but with prolonged durations of daily training it depressed Po and peak power. When the training is maintained over prolonged periods, it may even induce atrophy of the slow Type I and fast Type IIa fibers."Fitts RH, Widrick JJ. Muscle mechanics: adaptations with exercise-training. Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 1996;24:427-73.
"And intervals. God I hate intervals. But I do them for their effect on my cardiovascular system and less for endurance."We used to use them as phase 3 of a training cycle, after 10-12 weeks of distance running and 3 weeks of hill workouts. After that it was taper down for 10-14 days and step up to the line. Myself, I liked them. There was something very primeval about a pack of guys on about the 15th-16th 400m, with 4-5 to go, when the chatter had died down and everybody was reaching deep down inside, that took me back 10,000 years or so. Hard to describe, but I loved it.
Maybe no sub 10 for 100m, but you haven't lived until you run sub 47 in a 400m race against other marathoners and you come in last!! When Ibrahim Hussein was running world class 10k times in college he used to run the 4x400m and break even with the sprinters. Is there a difference in top end speed? Yes, but not near what people think. At any rate, the constant back and forth between the physiologists and coaches will continue to be with us. Thanks for your perspective. Dave may not know all the relevant terminology, but I know what he meant! And your take wasn't boring.

Jennifer, I appreciate your expertise and clarification of your posts.However, I wanted to respond on a few things to (I guess) clarify as best that I can one last time given you asked me to define strength.Strength is defined as the potential tension a muscle is capable of applying in a single maximum contraction. Training for strength causes several physiological changes in muscle tissue. Of these, the two most important are improved nervous control of muscle and increase muscle size.To compensate for the wide variety of possible load conditions (playing the piano does not require the same output as lifting weights), the CNS stimulates exactly the amount if fibers necessary to perform the job. If a muscle is just strong enough to cover the load, essentially all its fibers must contract and as soon as these tire, the muscle fails and cannot work again until there has been sufficient recovery.However….if the muscle's level of strength surpasses the job's requirements, the CNS will only stimulate a portion of the muscle's fibers, leaving those remaining in reserve, ready to take over when the initial bunch tires and ultimately fail.It is this sort of alternation that increases your muscular endurance. Strength training specifically increases the muscle's capacity to stimulate muscle fibers and hence endurance.So lets look at your analogy. On one side we have a sprinter, who does explosive, high force movements and can exert himself maximally for only a short period of time. Lets now add some endurance training to his regimen. He adds 20% of his training time to running ½ marathons. After two months, he is now a slower sprinter, weaker, and physically smaller (more on that in a minute).On the other side we have a high level marathoner. This person trains solely for endurance (as you prescribe). He does high levels of repetitive activity for his legs, increasing the number of mitochondria per muscle cell, substantially increasing his endurance. Lets now add some strength training to his regimen. He adds 20% of his training time to strength training with weight loads in the 65 to 90% of one repetition range. After two months, he can run farther, longer, and faster. Why? Regarding training to fatigue / failure when strength training. This really is not necessary and will be detrimental in the long run. Powerlifters never train to fatigue and they are the strongest individuals on the planet. Olympic lifters also don't train to fatigue and they are unbelievably strong. You only have to train within a range of load to get stronger and push for continual progression of load over time. Overload is key; not pushing the muscle to fatigue as it drowns in lactic acid after burning through glycogen, ATP, and CP. Consider that sprinters on the track don't train by running to fatigue where they fall down in a heap of vibrating mass (would be funny to see, however). They train at high intensity but it is something less than all out fatigue.You mention the cross section of a muscle – yes, that is a byproduct of strength. Clearly increased fiber size does affect the physical appearance of the muscle but the degree to which it contributes is largely determined by diet.Yup - made a boo boo on the cardio comment but I was really referring to metabolic conditioning and trying to see some 'abs' before summer rather than training to increase my endurance....I squat and deadlift for that (hee, hee). And yes, training for overall endurance does tap into the cardiovascular system. But you can actually have a muscle with high endurance without affecting your cardiovascular system. Consider a muscle with predominently slow twitch musculature. That muscle will be very enduring even though you are a 'couch potato'. The calf muscle comes to mind.Anyhoo, I am done here. Need to go train.Go Piper!
Piper -Good for you! Sounds like you are improving your overall fitness. But too much of a "good" thing can be bad. Moderation in all things :)Jennifer said,"Major point here: You do not built endurance with strength training. You build endurance with endurance training and muscle force with "strength" training. If you lift for increased power production, you will not improve endurance (this is why sprinters are not marathon runners, and huge lineman do not run the ball in for touchdowns). Look at the different builds of cyclists in the Tour de France: the climbers are all lithe and skinny...that is endurance training; the sprinters have huge legs...that is power. The two are not the same and the muscles are not at all trained the same. While improving a muscle's force production will make stepping up a 15 inch boulder with a 15 pound pack easier...it will NOT change how many times you can step up that step. That's where endurance training (like Dave's comment about climbing stairs) comes in.......but, the fact is specificity of training rules the day. If you want to run fast, run fast. If you want to power up a steep ascent, power up steep ascents. And if you want to hike for 30 miles/day, then you need to hike 30 miles a day. The other stuff can make minor differences, but in the grander scheme of things not all that much."Spot on. Weight lifting for speed/power. That is how Galen Rupp (10K silver medalist 2012 Olympics) was able to run the final lap in a 13:22 5K, in 52 seconds last year. After he had the endurance, the weight lifting was done for speed when it was needed. Rupp does lift 2 or 3 days a week. We will see him move up to the marathon, and expect him to be very competitive. But most of his work is running, not weight lifting; because he is a distance runner.Tom,I now know why I like you. My favorite workout on the track was 440 yard intervals (pre-socialist measurement system). Everyone hated those days, except for me.These days my goal is to wake up above ground each day, and then go for some sort of a walk. Seems to work too. :)
Hey Jennifer2-3 times per week, I go to a hilly section of trail near me, put on a 25 lb pack (what I usually carry on a hike), and hike up and down for an hour or so. Once a week I do a longer hike. Where I park, I have a choice of either immediately beginning the hills up and down, or taking 10 minutes to walk a very gently, almost flat section. Some have told me I should do the flat section both before and after, to warm up and cool down. Is there any real benefit to that, or is my preferred hit-the-hills-now okay?Thanks for any input advice.

If he didn't train for strength then he would not have been able to run the final lap like that. But you are incorrect that somehow strength suddenly appeared, pushing him to the end (review how ATP, CP, and lactic acid affect strength). Strength training helped him by improving his capacity to endure, thereby providing him the additional endurance when he needed it. He simply wasn't working at his full capacity early on, which permitted him to maintain a high level of endurance right to the end of the run.
4 strength exercises for hikers.SquatsDeadliftsPlanks - core strength should not be neglectedCalf raises - doesn't feature in most bodybuilding routines, but I think this is a really important one for hikers - strong ankles are less likely to rollover or get sprained, and can help you recover from misplaced footing without falling. If you can work up to single leg barefoot calf raises, this will develop the smaller muscles in your foot, and work on your balance.
And we haven't even addressed the role of the motor unit areas of the cortex and their regulation of motor unit function! I doubt Piper expected this type of discussion.
Clearly specificity of training is where it's at if you are an athlete training for a specific sport...We had very specific workouts for our players, and even more specific ones for our pitchers. But for me, I don't just hike. At 50, I play a lot of golf and softball also, and due to time constraints I don't want to train specifically for each one. I do a quick "10 minute trainer" 2 to 3 times per week. So you have to think about your lifestyle...If you are Andrew Skurka, train for long distance hiking...If you do lots of different things, take that into account, along with your time constraints. Also, I have some questions for Jennifer regarding what the stretching studies say regarding range of motion and time. When I get to the golf course, my backswing is very short and tight, so before I tee off I warm up and stretch for about 5 minutes. After this, I feel looser and my backswing is visibly where it needs to be....what is happening here? Is it the increased blood flow from the warmup, perhaps? Once I've gotten loose, I stay loose until I stop playing...then the next time I play, I need to stretch again to get my backswing back to where it needs to be. And to the poster who mentioned the HIIT stuff, I always thought that it made quick twitch guys lose some burst, despite what the studies showed for a long time...and then, after I stopped coaching I heard that some of the HIIT guys were starting to change their views a little...is this true? Remember, at first all the studies showed that a curve ball didn't actually curve....I feel as if stretching will yet be vindicated in a future study! :)Edit: I think I was thinking of something else when I mentioned the HIIT stuff...I was thinking of the real slow lifting technique.

You're right BJ!! Let's talk motor unit recruitment and neuromuscular junction fatigue!!!@Dave: c'mon, have some fun!! Who doesn't love a metaphysical discussion about force generating capacity and morphological changes of muscle fibers in the presence of overloading??!!You obviously have a background in exercise physiology, and that's why a discussion like this is (can be...) fun. The chemical engineers get their geek on arguing about different alcohol compositions and burn times...what's wrong with a little type I vs IIa fiber discussion??You seem to be awfully negative a lot.....@Stephen: yes, a warm up and cool down are important. Generally I would recommend doing the flat section first and last because it doesn't take much time, doesn't hurt, and we THINK it's beneficial. But honestly, I'm less a fan of changing something that is working for you than to conform to somewhat controversial pop culture medicine.And to circle back through all of this...cross training, lifting weights, aerobic training...these are all good things that overall make you a well rounded, physically fit person who can do everything easier. Hiking involves a lot of different activies (flats, ups, downs, uneven surfaces, lifting, carrying, squatting, etc) so a well-rounded exercise program is absolutely the best way to go. Unless you are actually training for something high level and specific (record setting speed thru hike, for example), just create a program that you will actually do. And have fun with it.Goodness gracious I need to get out and hike!!!!!!!

Jennifer, since you are an expert (or very good at pretending to be one), I was wondering if I could pick your brain as far as my workout routine (posted early in this thread) is concerned? What do you think of it in general, would you and/remove/change anything, any tips, etc.And Piper, I didn't mean to hijack your thread or anything. Just wanted to share what I do to stay in shape other than backpacking (and also to aid in a better backpacking experience). Maybe you could share your workout routine in detail? Anyhow, thanks for getting this discussion started :)
Yeah the stretching literature has been pretty crazy over the past 5-7 years. We know the length of the muscle doesn't change with static stretching, only the tolerance to stretch. You have a rather complicated system of sensors in your muscles called spindles and they detect stretch and velocity (or both)...when you stretch you are conditioning these spindles to allow more lengthening in the muscle prior to stopping you. This effect has been shown to last only about an hour but does not affect the long term passive properties of the muscle. This is why you feel a bit better (and looser) when you stretch, but that you still feel stiff later.There has been a great deal of work on how muscle performance is actually harmed by static stretching: your speed, power and endurance are impaired if you stretch those muscles during a pre-exercise routine. This has been so well documented that the American College of Sports Medicine has changed its guidelines to suggest NOT stretching as part of your warm up and only to include cardio work if you needed strength or power. (American College of Sports Medicine. ACSM's Resource Manual for Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription. 8th Ed. Philadelphia (PA):Lippencott, Williams & Wilkins; 2010. p. 173.)Then, to totally mess with all that you learned about stretching, Cochrane has a review updated in 2011 that pretty unequivocally says that stretching before, during, or after any exercise does absolutely nothing to alter muscle soreness any time during the week after the physical activity. "The studies produced very consistent findings. They showed there was little or no effect of stretching in the muscle soreness experienced in the week after the physical activity."Herbert RD, de Noronha M, Kamper SJ. Stretching to prevent or reduce muscle soreness after exercise. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2011, Issue 7. Art. No.: CD004577. DOI: 10.1002/14651858. CD004577.pub3Now...eccentric exercise, dynamic stretching, ballistic stretching...lots and lots of arguments here. But I imagine I've already overstayed my welcome to poor Piper's original post just being happy about feeling stronger with weight training :)

I grew up in a harmonious home.
My parents — high-school sweethearts — are still together after 34 years of marriage, and they basically blanketed my sister and me with love and support.
But in the past 10 years a seam of disunity has been sewn into the fabric of the family.
I don't know when exactly this dichotomy, this division, this partisanship came into existence.
What I know is that at some point politics began to infiltrate the domestic bliss at my parents' modest home with a jolly saboteur's desire for mischief.
Without getting specific — after all, if home is where they have to take you in, it might not be the place where they have to prepare your favorite meal — one parent skews left and the other right.
It wasn't always this way. They both used to be pretty moderate, as far as I could tell. Politics wasn't a major topic of discussion at our house.
I don't know whether it was the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan or my boy-crazy sister's string of hormone-addled suitors, but something changed.
If I had to pin it on a particular set of circumstances, I would go back to the summer of 2007.
The Democrats in Congress were protesting the war in Iraq by threatening to cut funding for the military. As fate would have it, I was in Iraq at the time as a Marine.
My hunch is that one of my progenitors, out of some globalized protective instinct, began to sour on the Democrats and watch an inordinate amount of Fox News late into the night.
At approximately the same time, the other guardian turned left to find enough compassion to avoid the serious prison time associated with the throttling of one of my sister's wayward paramours.
Of course, that's just my interpretation.
Neither of my parents confesses any bias. But my sister and I know differently. We've seen the popcorn fly.
After 34 years of marriage, perhaps a little friction is necessary to keep the chemistry going.
But things are still pretty normal. Bills get paid on time, and an agreement to avoid watching the news together apparently eases any household tensions that might build.
I don't know whether things get easier in a marriage over time. They might get more difficult.
Maybe that's what's happening in Congress. On Monday, the 14th day of a federal government shutdown that has threatened everything from national parks to veterans benefits, Sens. Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell hinted that they were close to a deal that would reopen the government before the Thursday deadline on raising the debt ceiling.
I know that 237 years of baggage is a lot to work through under emotional duress. But if my parents can figure it out, I'm sure Congress can find a way.
And as far as keeping the flame alive, there will always be something to fight about.

2. Cody Ross, OF: He is not a center fielder, he has a .324 career OBP -- in fact, his .326 figure in 2012 was his career best in a full season -- and his power spike this year was largely a function of playing his home games in Fenway Park, a great place for right-handed hitters. He hit 74 percent of his doubles at home and 59 percent of his homers, posting a .232/.294/.390 line away from Fenway. On a one-year deal to serve as part of a platoon, yes, he has value. Anything more than that for a 32-year-old corner outfielder who doesn't get on base or make much contact is foolhardy.

The county's Recreation/Transportation Special Service District approved an extra appropriation of about $2,900 to cover unexpected cost overruns at the Sunnyside ballpark rest rooms.
The project was originally set at $79,000, which included money for contingencies in addition to planned construction expenses. Final cost was $81,906.
However, explained City Recorder Polly Sanderson, not everything that needed fixing had been foreseen. There was a matter of fixing a visibility problem at the girls' restroom for example. The problem was the interior was visible from third base.
Then locks on the doors had to be changed because little kids could lock the doors from the inside, and if they could not unlock them, there was no way to open from the outside.
These and other problems added up. Sunnyside had kept the RTSSD informed all along the way, so the board, deciding all was done in good faith, approved the additional funds to cover the costs.

Who didn't love taking electrical goods apart as a kid – and then unhelpfully "fixing" them? I love the implicit nostalgia that comes with these images – it makes me think of the many happy hours I spend immersed in finding out how the TV remote worked. I can see these being a real conversation starter (it was for my family!).

(1) It is essential for the national defense that the Department of Defense maintain a core logistics capability that is Government-owned and Government-operated (including Government personnel and Government-owned and Government-operated equipment and facilities) to ensure a ready and controlled source of technical competence and resources necessary to ensure effective and timely response to a mobilization, national defense contingency situations, and other emergency requirements.
(2) The Secretary of Defense shall identify the core logistics capabilities described in paragraph (1) and the workload required to maintain those capabilities.
(3) The core logistics capabilities identified under paragraphs (1) and (2) shall include those capabilities that are necessary to maintain and repair the weapon systems and other military equipment (including mission-essential weapon systems or materiel not later than four years after achieving initial operational capability, but excluding systems and equipment under special access programs, nuclear aircraft carriers, and commercial items described in paragraph (5)) that are identified by the Secretary, in consultation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as necessary to enable the armed forces to fulfill the strategic and contingency plans prepared by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under section 153 (a) of this title.
(4) The Secretary of Defense shall require the performance of core logistics workloads necessary to maintain the core logistics capabilities identified under paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) at Government-owned, Government-operated facilities of the Department of Defense (including Government-owned, Government-operated facilities of a military department) and shall assign such facilities sufficient workload to ensure cost efficiency and technical competence in peacetime while preserving the surge capacity and reconstitution capabilities necessary to support fully the strategic and contingency plans referred to in paragraph (3).
(5) The commercial items covered by paragraph (3) are commercial items that have been sold or leased in substantial quantities to the general public and are purchased without modification in the same form that they are sold in the commercial marketplace, or with minor modifications to meet Federal Government requirements.
(b) Limitation on Contracting.—
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), performance of workload needed to maintain a logistics capability identified by the Secretary under subsection (a)(2) may not be contracted for performance by non-Government personnel under the procedures and requirements of Office of Management and Budget Circular A–76 or any successor administrative regulation or policy (hereinafter in this section referred to as OMB Circular A–76).
(2) The Secretary of Defense may waive paragraph (1) in the case of any such logistics capability and provide that performance of the workload needed to maintain that capability shall be considered for conversion to contractor performance in accordance with OMB Circular A–76. Any such waiver shall be made under regulations prescribed by the Secretary and shall be based on a determination by the Secretary that Government performance of the workload is no longer required for national defense reasons. Such regulations shall include criteria for determining whether Government performance of any such workload is no longer required for national defense reasons.
(A) A waiver under paragraph (2) may not take effect until the expiration of the first period of 30 days of continuous session of Congress that begins on or after the date on which the Secretary submits a report on the waiver to the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives.

The justification for the determination shall include, at a minimum, the following:
(1) The estimated percentage of commonality of parts of the version of the item that is sold or leased in the commercial marketplace and the Government's version of the item.
(2) The value of any unique support and test equipment and tools that are necessary to support the military requirements if the item were maintained by the Government.
(3) A comparison of the estimated life cycle logistics support costs that would be incurred by the Government if the item were maintained by the private sector with the estimated life cycle logistics support costs that would be incurred by the Government if the item were maintained by the Government.
(d) Biennial Core Report.— Not later than April 1 of each even-numbered year, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report identifying, for each of the armed forces (except for the Coast Guard), for the fiscal year after the fiscal year during which the report is submitted, each of the following:
(1) The core depot-level maintenance and repair capability requirements and sustaining workloads, organized by work breakdown structure, expressed in direct labor hours.

CANTON A water main break on East Main Street in the village prompted several restaurants to close Monday night while crews worked to make repairs.
Among the businesses shuttered were the Asian Buffet & Grill, Pizza Hut and the restaurant at the Best Western/University Inn.
The Department of Public Works was called out to fix the break on East Main near Crescent Street, village Superintendent Brien E. Hallahan said.
Parts of the village were under a boil water alert because of the break, he said.

Dinner for Schmucks
Tim, an up-and-coming executive, has just received his first invitation to the "dinner for idiots," a monthly event hosted by his boss that promises bragging rights (and maybe more) to the exec that shows up with the biggest buffoon. Tim's fiancée, Julie, finds it distasteful and Tim agrees to skip the dinner, until he bumps into Barry - an IRS employee who devotes his spare time to building elaborate taxidermy mouse dioramas - and quickly realizes he's struck idiot gold. Tim can't resist, and invites Barry, whose blundering good intentions soon sends Tim's life into a frenzied downward spiral and a series of comic misadventures, threatening a major business deal, bringing crazy stalker ex-girlfriend, Darla, back into Tim's life and driving Julie (or so Tim thinks) into the arms of another man.

Add some variety and a little fun to the traditional violin recital. The Fiddlin' for Fun Functionally books introduce students to the "fiddling" style by taking the beginning violinist through different modifications of several pieces.
Students learn about chord structures, bowing techniques, and rhythmic and harmonic variations while having a great time playing familiar tunes. The books are designed so that the student can be accompanied by a teacher, a pianist, or both. The teacher edition is for the violin teacher who cannot accompany the student on the violin without a written part. Having this book allows the violinist teacher to play along at lessons much like a traditional fiddle teacher would.
Contents: Irish Washerwoman * Boil 'Em Cabbage Down * Rubber Dolly * Old Joe Clark * Goofus * Cindy * Fiddlin' Around * Amazing Grace * Liberty * Westphalia Waltz .

The integration of knowledge is one of the goals of the liberal arts. For many scholars in the last 20 years, the study of women's experiences and gender has provided one such integrative principle.
The women and gender studies program allows male and female students to take a number of courses in a variety of disciplines that deal with the experiences of women and/or focus on gender.
Besides acquainting themselves with scholarship done on gender, students will be asked to reflect upon the kinds of questions such scholarship asks and the implications of such scholarship for their fields of study and social interaction.
The Women and Gender Studies Major is designed to achieve the following objectives, based on the college mission statement and the all-college academic goals, abilities, and values:

Brazilian artist Raoni Marqs's portraits of rap icons
As Jay-Z says in his book, Decoded: 'Hip hop is the only art that I know that's built on direct confrontation'. Based on that premise, rappers wrote some of the best lines of hip hop just saying 'how dope they are'. These lines inspired Brazilian illustrator Raoni Marqs to create portraits of some of the most famous, legendary, and controversial figures rap has ever seen.

In the wonderful world of modeling, some girls resemble each other so much that they seem almost interchangeable (it's occasionally a struggle to identify who's who in random street-style photographs!). But though there are many cookie-cutter catwalkers prowling the streets of Milan and Manhattan, occasionally we spy someone with the kind of singularly striking style that influences others far and wide. One such young lovely with that sort of sartorial impact is the bowl-cut beauty, Tao Okamoto. With her darling cap of hair (which is so beloved by designer Phillip Lim that he made all the models in his F/W 09 show wear look-a-like wigs) and propensity for bold red accessories (namely, lipstick and boots), Okamoto is completely au courant and a worthy subject to spotlight in today's Model Off Duty!
Though there are many things to adore about this Japanese beauty's personal wardrobe, we must confess our affinity for the way she wears sweaters of all shapes and sizes. For example, at the D&G F/W 09 show (above, far left), she layered a buttoned-up oversized Richard Chai cardi under a cropped leather jacket, also by Richard Chai, for a daring and darling outfit. While we'd probably attempt this look with the addition of a dark pair of super-skinny pants, like Current/Elliott's The Legging Jeans ($198), the proportions would remain the same. Just throw on a fingertip-length sweater, like ASOS' Fluffy Boyfriend Cardigan ($55), with a cropped jacket, such as Topshop's Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket ($100) or June's Leather Moto Jacket ($298). (If you crave an extra layer, we suggest adding Topshop's Knitted Chunky Shawl Cardigan ($90) in Silver, for that additional hoodie-like touch.)
In addition to letting sweaters serve as the focus of her outfit, Okamoto also mixes them with dressier fare. Spotted backstage at Zac Posen during the S/S 10 shows, Okamoto used a combination of two signature accessories-a gray Jason Wu cardi and her beloved red boots by Japanese designer A.D.-to tone down a fancier Marc Jacobs dress. It's a smart way to get more wear out of your favorite party dresses and can be easily achieved at home; just add a gossamer sweater and sturdy boots to your favorite neutral and/or metallic frocks! Try something like Topshop's Scallop Sequin Dress ($250) with Madewell's Super Slouchy Cardigan ($98) in Heather Cloud or whatever combo of sweater and shimmery frock you like. Of course, you need shoes, and though it's hard to find a perfect replica of Okamoto's fire-engine red footwear, Pour la Victoire's Over-The-Knee Wedge Boots ($395) in wine will give you a great approximation of the model's signature pair.
If these sweater-style notes don't suit you, you could always try another one of Okamoto's tips and simply turn an oversized v-neck iteration into a dress! The model memorably did just that when she turned up at the Lagerfeld S/S 10 show wearing a loose Dries Van Noten V-Neck Sweater ($486) with a side-slung Chanel bag, pastel yellow fishnets, and Rupert Sanderson for Karl Lagerfeld strappy black heels. The easy silhouette of her green semi-sheer sweater can be achieved with Whistles Exposed Seam Oversized V-Neck ($127). Just don't forget to add some high-contrast pop via hosiery; we like Jonathan Aston's Fishnet Tights ($10) in Daffodil Yellow. As for the shoes, you have three options: you can wait until the patent Sanderson for KL heels are available this spring, pick up the very similar Rupert Sanderson Asteroid Heels ($1300) now, or check out the Velvet Angels Barbuto Triple Strap Sandal ($295) instead. (We pick option three.) You also might like Pied a Terre's Jersey High Sandal ($204), which has a similar cut-out vibe and delicate heel.
Our final look may not involve a sweater in any incarnation, but it does feature Okamoto's favorite boldly colored accessories! Photographed backstage at Moschino's F/W 09 show, our MOD wore two pieces from A.D.: her cowl-neck dress and beloved red boots. As for her bright tights, their province is unknown, but we think Hue's Super Opaque Tights ($12.50) in Dijon or Topshop's 50 Den Tights ($8) in Mustard are decidedly non-mellow yellow options. Just pair them with contrasting boots and an embellished hem dress. Though it's not black, we like the detailing on Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Sequin Hem Dress ($288); the gray tank frock has a gorgeous studded and beaded hem. Or you could build your own dress with a black cowl neck shirt and a festive skirt, like Alice + Olivia's Feather Skirt($297). Whatever you pick, the options are endless and the results are bound to be just as stylish as Okamoto!

Redfin valve (torpedo)
Redfin was not scrapped from Baltimore. She was taken to the Philadelphia Navy yard were she sat for awhile
So no scrap company owned her while she was in Baltimore. I know this because i went aboard her in Philly.
Not below decks, just topside. I did this so that i could say I was the last former crew member to be aboard
her before she was scrapped.

Crude oil has been removed from a barge that was under tow when it collided Mar. 12 with a liquefied petroleum gas pipeline near Bayou Perot 30 miles south of New Orleans, the US Coast Guard said.
Flaring operations continued Mar. 15 to remove residual LPG in the pipeline. Chevron Corp. owns the pipeline, which has been shut in. The pipeline connects a Venice, La., gas plant to a pump station in Paradis, La. (OGJ Online, Mar. 14, 2013).
The Shannon E. Settoon barge was removed from the scene and 2,200 bbl of crude oil was offloaded onto another barge. The Shannon E. Settoon is owned by owned by Settoon Towing of Pierre Part, La.
"At no time was any pollution observed coming from the barge," USCG said.
Responders have deployed 11,100 ft of boom around the tank barge to contain any possible pollution risks. USCG maintains flight restrictions around the barge and continues investigating cause of the incident.

The Makioka Sisters (Sasame-yuki) (1983)
The Makioka Sisters will probably best be appreciated by those with an intimate knowledge of 20th century Japanese culture. The film, set just before World War II, chronicles the experiences of four upper-class Osaka sisters, two of them married. We see the shifting political and social scene through their eyes, with director Kon Ichikawa (who adapted the film from Junichiro Tanikazi's novel) conveying the proper sense of confusion and distraction. At times the film is a little too confused and distracted, thus total audience attention is not only necessary, but mandatory. Makioka Sisters, sometimes listed as Makica Sisters, has also been released under the title Fine Snow.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Cast: Sayuri Yoshinaga, Yûko Kotegawa, Yoshiko Sakuma, Keiko Kishi, Juzo Itami

Megabass Destroyer Orochi X4 bass rods feature proprietary Hi-Tension Active X4 Matrix blanks. The Active X4 Matrix increases tension and stiffness significantly with a 4-axis carbon graphite wrap (think ''X'' superimposed on ''+'' to get an idea of the pattern). These exceedingly tough fibers wrap tightly around the blank from butt-end to second guide, increasing backbone, leverage and power on the water without adding unnecessary bulk.
Orochi X4 rods also feature an adaptive blank of carefully selected 40 and 46 ton graphite. This allows for truly adaptive blank construction that takes into account the specific needs of each stress-point under varying load-levels, meaning that every single inch of your blank is optimally tuned with the best graphite for the job. This adaptive core is further reinforced by its own braided 2-axis ''XX'' pattern micro-carbon fiber cross-weave, which runs the entire length of the blank.
With a blank that starts off with adaptive graphite construction, followed by a 2-axis micro carbon fiber wrap, finished off with a 4-axis carbon backbone, you get a rod that is incredibly strong and resistant to off-axis torque, yet also light and exceptionally sensitive.

Love and Death
June 09, 2011
The Letters of Rosa Luxemburg Edited by Georg Adler, Peter Hudis, and Annelies Laschitza Translated by George Shriver (Verso, 609 pp., $39.95) Once upon a time there lived a Jewish lady, of modest stature and of a certain age, who walked with a limp and liked to sing to the birds. Through the bars on her window she would treat the titmice to a Mozart aria, and then await their call, the transcription of which she wished, as she wrote to a friend, to be the only adornment on her grave.
The Freedom of the Café
June 09, 2011
Literary Passports: The Making of Modernist Hebrew Fiction in Europe By Shachar M. Pinsker (Stanford University Press, 487 pp., $60) Elias Canetti, the German-language writer, born to a Bulgarian Sephardic family, who won the Nobel Prize in 1981, tells in his memoirs of his daily meetings in a Viennese café during the 1920s with a certain Dr. Sonne. A man of broad culture who radiated a quietly powerful sense of authority, Dr. Sonne was known by Canetti, somewhat to his perplexity, to be a Hebrew poet.

Combination Chemotherapy, Autologous Stem Cell Transplant, and/or Radiation Therapy in Treating Young Patients With Extraocular Retinoblastoma
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This phase III trial is studying the side effects and how well giving combination chemotherapy together with autologous stem cell transplant and/or radiation therapy works in treating young patients with extraocular retinoblastoma. Giving chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and/or bone marrow and stored. More chemotherapy is given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy after combination chemotherapy and/or autologous stem cell transplant may kill any remaining tumor cells.
Extraocular Retinoblastoma
Procedure: autologous bone marrow transplantation
Procedure: autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Procedure: in vitro-treated peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
Drug: cisplatin
Drug: cyclophosphamide

|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Trial of Intensive Multi-Modality Therapy for Extra-Ocular Retinoblastoma
- Failure-free survival (FFS) [ Time Frame: At 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]FFS experience of each group of patients (distant metastatic CNS positive, distant metastatic CNS negative, and orbit patients) can be adequately modeled using the exponential cure model. The observed survival experience will be compared to the expected distribution using a method adapted from Woolson. The difference between the number of observed and expected failures is approximately normally distributed with independent increments and may be used for interim monitoring using standard group sequential boundaries.
- Response rate to the induction phase of the regimen using a modified version of the international criteria for neuroblastoma response [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Estimated and a corresponding 95% confidence interval calculated for all strata combined.
- Incidence of adverse events as assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The toxicity-associated death rate and the percentage of patients for whom an adequate yield of stem cells cannot be harvested will be monitored across all treatment groups collectively. Toxicities will be descriptively summarized.

Detailed Description:
I. To estimate the proportion of 3 groups of patients with extraocular retinoblastoma (stage 2 and 3: regional extra-ocular disease;, stage 4a: disseminated metastatic disease not involving the central nervous system [CNS]; or stage 4b: patients with CNS disease) who achieve long-term event-free survival after treatment with aggressive multimodality therapy compared to historical controls.
II. To estimate the response rate to the induction phase of the regimen. III. To evaluate the toxicities associated with this regimen.
INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive vincristine intravenously (IV) on days 0, 7, and 14, cisplatin IV over 6 hours on day 0, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2, and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) beginning on day 3 and continuing until blood counts recover.
Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of induction chemotherapy, patients with stage 2 or 3 disease who have at least a partial response proceed to radiotherapy. Patients with stage 4a or 4b disease who have at least a partial response proceed to high-dose consolidation chemotherapy and autologous stem cell infusion.
STEM CELL HARVESTING (stage 4a or 4b disease only): Peripheral blood stem cells (preferred) or bone marrow cells are collected after at least 1 course of induction chemotherapy.
HIGH-DOSE CONSOLIDATION CHEMOTHERAPY (stage 4a or 4b disease only): Patients receive carboplatin IV over 4 hours on days -8 to -6 and thiotepa IV over 3 hours and etoposide IV over 3 hours on days -5 to -3.
AUTOLOGOUS STEM CELL INFUSION (stage 4a or 4b disease only): Patients undergo autologous stem cell infusion on day 0. Patients then receive filgrastim subcutaneously (SC) beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover.
RADIOTHERAPY: Patients with stage 2 or 3 disease (orbital and/or regional involvement) undergo radiotherapy to sites that were initially involved beginning within 42 days after the start of course 4 of induction chemotherapy. Patients with stage 4a or 4b disease undergo radiotherapy to sites initially involved based on response beginning approximately 42 days after autologous stem cell infusion. Patients with stage 4a disease who achieve a complete response to induction chemotherapy or with less than 5 mm of residual tumor at the time of planned irradiation, or patients with stage 4b disease who achieve a complete response to induction chemotherapy do not undergo radiotherapy.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then annually thereafter for 9 years.

(KARE) While the nation focuses on the macroeconomics of the looming fiscal cliff, dealnews.com has come out with its annual list of "12 things that will be more expensive in 2013."
While that may be a bit on the microeconomics side of things, some of the price increases could affect millions of Americans in a big way.
Two of the categories on the list will create a pinch for you when you head to the grocery store in 2013.
"This was a perfect storm, basically the last three years," Grocer Dick Rinehart of River Falls explained, when talking about several factors that have put food prices on the rise.
Gas prices and weather events have been troublesome in recent months.
