Calculate Your Carbon Footprint
There are many practical things consumers can do to use energy more efficiently, and thereby reduce greenhouse gas and other air emissions.
First Step Measure Your Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Use the Environmental Protection Agencys Household Emissions Calculator to measure your household carbon footprint by entering your personalized information.
Second Step Take Actions to Minimize Greenhouse Gas Emissions
There are many practical measures consumers can take to reduce greenhouse gas and other air emissions. These actions, in many cases, will help you save money. Energy conservation and energy efficiency result in lower heating and cooling bills and will help avoid emissions. Fuel-efficient vehicles can save hundreds of dollars at the gas pump every year and produce fewer emissions per mile driven.
Here are some ideas on actions you can take:
Use Energy Efficient Appliances Remember to look for the ENERGY STAR® label when purchasing new appliances.
- Upgrade to high-efficiency air conditioning New, high-efficiency 13 SEER air conditioners will use only half the energy compared to a 15-year-old air conditioner.
- Replace old refrigerators An old refrigerator may use twice as much energy as a new energy-efficient refrigerator. Refrain from putting the old one in the hot garage where it is only partially filled and only seldom used.
Use Tax Incentives Take advantage of the new federal tax credits when making energy efficiency improvements to your home.
Use Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs) A CFL can cut your lighting costs by 75 percent compared to a standard incandescent light bulb. CFL bulbs also help lower your air conditioning costs since they do not generate as much heat as a 100-watt light bulb.
Install a Programmable Thermostat A programmable thermostat enables you to raise or lower the temperature settings such that the heating and cooling equipment are not running needlessly at different times during the day and night. This will save you energy and money.
Travel Wisely Carefully plan your trips. When buying a new vehicle consider a car that gets more miles to the gallon than your current one. Ride the bus or carpool. (Vehicles are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States).
Care for your Car Keep tires properly inflated and wheels aligned to improve your gas mileage. Get regular tune-ups to maximize fuel economy.
Buy Carbon Offsets A carbon offset is a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from a third party, aimed at canceling out (offsetting) the emissions arising from a particular activity.
Practice the 3 Rs: Reduce, Re-use, Recycle By practicing the 3 Rs, you conserve energy and natural resources, reduce emissions, and help save valuable landfill space. Landfills produce methane gas which is a greenhouse gas.
- Recycle paper, cardboard, newsprint and magazines.
- Recycle aluminum cans.
- Recycle all batteries.
- Reduce printing and photocopying by saving documents on your hard drive or creating personal file folders.
- Set printer default to print double-sided (duplex).
- Purchase the highest post-consumer content paper that will work with your printing equipment.
- Bring in your own coffee mug to avoid use of throw away cups.
- Switch from a full-page fax cover sheet to a half-page cover sheet.

Two-Way RadiosIf you don't have a CB in your camper, car, or RV, you might want to consider investing in a set of two-way radios. Such radios can carry a signal up to 35 miles. That means that you can keep in touch even if you are traveling in two vehicles and you don't have to be in sight of one another.
Sold in pairs, you can add additional radios to your network by purchasing more units and use the same channel. Key lock will keep you from accidentally changing channels and rechargeable batteries mean you are always ready to go. An additional benefits over a CB; you can use these radios whether in your car or on a hike. They can be an ideal way to stay in touch when exploring different areas in an amusement park too.

Warren High wrestling history could be made at the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League (SEOAL) Championships at Chillicothe High at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.
Cory Parsons needs just three mat wins to surpass former Warren great Heath Eddleblute's career record of 151. The Warriors' 113-pound senior currently owns a 149-30 overall mark. (Eddleblute, who was coached by the legendary Martin Santini, finished with a 151-9 record.)
"Because of the size of the (SEOAL) field, the most a wrestler could wrestle is four matches," said first-year Warren wrestling coach Mike Pahl. "Some might only wrestle two or three matches, though. So, Cory might have to wait until the sectional before he sets the record."

Waterford's Austin Lang, front, practices a move with teammate Hunter Munjas during a wrestling session. Both will be competing in the Tri-Valley Conference meet at Vinton County.
The SEOAL field includes defending champion Logan, Gallia Academy, Chillicothe, Jackson and Warren.
"Logan, Chillicothe, and Gallia each has a full team," Pahl said. "And Jackson is even smaller than us.
"I'm hoping to have 10 or 11 kids in the lineup, and I think we can get first in five weight classes. And, if the other kids can place, I think we've got a shot at winning it (SEOAL)."
Earlier, in the Miami Trace McDonald's Invitational at Washington Court House, Parsons broke Eddleblute's pin record of 91 with a mat-slapper in his first bout.
On the season, Parsons is 32-4 after going 4-0 and earning a championship at last Saturday's John Deno Wrestling Tournament at Athens High in The Plains. He did not wrestle five matches in that tourney, because he got a bye in the opening round.
At John Deno, Parsons pinned Meigs' Robert Hoffman in 1:59 in his first match in Round 2. In Round 3, he flattened Boyd County's Justin McDowell in 2:29.
Parsons also earned a fall against Vinton County's Austin Webb in the semifinals.
In the finals, he decisioned Westfall's Derek Thomas, 7-2, to claim the title.
Parsons is a three-time SEOAL champion, and is a favorite to make it four.
Congleton is also a defending league champion in the 106-pound weight division. The Warrior sophomore currently owns a 37-1 record after going 4-0 at John Deno and winning a title.
"If Levi and Cory don't win a league championship, they're walking home," said Pahl, jokingly.
At John Deno, Congleton led off with a pin of Shane Stalder at 1:07 in Round 1. In Round 2, he got a fall against Meigs' Leslie Hoffman in 23 seconds.
Congleton pinned Logan's Wyatt Garren in the semis, and then flattened Athens' Skyler St. Peter in the final.
Also placing for Warren at John Deno were 182-pounder Zach Pike (third), and 145-pounder Austin Klintworth (sixth) and 170-pounder Austin Antill.
"Zach wrestled really well for us," Pahl said.
Warren's wrestling lineup is also expected to include 138-pounder Braden Hewitt, 160-pounder Austin Miles, 170-pounder Wayne Bailey, 145-pounder Cody Dobbs, and 285-pounder Brandon Pahl.
Pahl, the coach's son, is back in action after sitting out John Deno with a shoulder injury. Last year, the younger Pahl wrestled 220 at the SEOAL meet and placed third.
Also placing last year for Warren on the current roster were Hewitt (132), Dobbs (145)), and Antill (160).
"Brandon's looking forward to wrestling again," the elder Pahl said, "because the guy who won (285) at John Deno, he beat earlier in the season."
Also, at 10 a.m. Saturday, the Tri-Valley Conference Championships* are scheduled to be hosted by Vinton County High in McArthur.
Washington County will be represented by Waterford and Belpre.
The Scott Zimmer-coached Wildcats will feature Zeb Offenberger at 120 pounds; Austin Lang, 126; Tim Leach, 132; Wes Wagner, 138; Hunter Munjas, 160; and Blake Heiss, 182.
At the John Deno Tournament, Lang (37-6) was runner-up; Munjas (32-12) placed sixth; and Heiss (28-18) was seventh.
Lang was edged 2-1 by Athens' Keanu Hallowell in the 126 finals bout. Earlier the Wildcat junior earned a 16-0 tech fall against Westerville North's Antonio Albertini in Round 1.
In Round 2, Lang won a 20-9 major decision over Paul Pook of Athens.
Lang flattened Meigs' Gage Gilkey in 1:30 in Round 3, and followed that up with an 8-5 decision over Vinton County's Austin Barnes in the semis to advance to the title bout.
Belpre is expected to start Gavin Stalnaker at 106; Jordan McCutcheon, 113; Zach Davis, 120; Shane Wheldon, 126; Manney Tullius, 132; Daniel Law or Jake Hall, 138; Ethan Wiggers, 145; Cody Martin, 152; Derek Davis or Matthew Colvin, 160; Tyler Martin, 182; Jamie Barrett, 195; and Hayden Lowe, 285.
*TVC wrestling note: Athens was scheduled to wrestle Circleville in the regional final of the team dual tournament at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Circleville. If the Bulldogs won, they will advance to the state tournament on Saturday at St. John Arena. This means that the TVC meet will be held at 4 p.m. today at Vinton County.

Gun Control
Published: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 12:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 12:21 a.m.
I must respond to the letter from Nancy Simmons ["Gun Control," Jan. 17]. She corrected Mr. Brown by saying Adolf Hitler only took the Jews' guns. Of course, that was first, and then came the systematic extermination of the Jews. I do not understand her argument.
Ms. Simmons then stated that since the Australian government confiscated its citizens' guns, there has been no mass shooting in Australia, and "that says it all." So is she advocating gun confiscation in our nation?

Razor Thin Margins: The Key to Finding Profits in Emerging Markets
To Shave or Not to Shave
Like most men around the world, Prakash, a thirty-year-old Indian port worker wakes up in the morning facing the unpleasant but necessary task of having to shave. But unlike most men in the developed world, for Prakash shaving means sitting on the floor with a small amount of still water, balancing a hand-held mirror in low light, and experiencing frequent nicks and cuts from his double-edged razor[1].
On the other side of the globe, with headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, Procter and Gamble (P&G) is one of the largest consumer products companies in the world with operations in more than 80 countries and more than 300 marketed brands sold in 160 countries. Traditionally, P&G's product mix has focused on high-end products geared towards the developed markets. Hurt by slowing sales growth in developed markets during the recent global recession and European economic crisis P&G began to look at emerging markets for long-term growth[2]. P&G's historic focus on developed markets left them unprepared to enter the emerging markets where they were blindsided by their competitions' market penetration. P&G underestimated the cost of building its presence in developing countries resulting in a shortage of funds to finance its expansion in emerging markets and an inability to achieve economies of scale. This resulted in higher priced products in these regions. Compared to its competitors like Unilever or Colgate-Palmolive, P&G has been slower at reverse engineering its products to be affordable to the bottom of pyramid market segment in emerging markets.

Many journeys to the same location – methods that 21st century scientists are using to identify genes that cause autism
We have asked several scientists who gave presentations at the April 10-11 DAN! conference in Baltimore to share their research and perspectives from the meeting with you here on the blog. The following piece is from Dr. Simon G. Gregory, Ph.D. Dr. Gregory is an Associate Professor in the Center for Human Genetics, Duke University Medical Center His primary area of research involves identifying the complex genetic factors that give rise to cardiovascular disease and multiple sclerosis, Dr. Gregory's group is also applying high-resolution genomic arrays to the discovery of chromosomal abnormalities and identification of epigenetic factors associated with autism.
For decades scientists have relied on traditional genetic approaches to identify genes that contribute to the development of autism. These approaches have included collecting extended, multi-generation families that contain one or more individuals with autism. Once a sufficient number of these families have been collected, hundreds of DNA markers that can highlight differences between us all at a genetic level (a bit similar to DNA fingerprinting used in CSI) are used to identify a region of the genome is linked with the disorder in the families. More recently, higher resolution technologies that benefitted from the completion of the human genome project have been developed to allow us to look at hundreds of thousands of markers simultaneously. This approach differs from the family-based approach in that it uses thousands of unrelated cases and age/sex/ethnicity matched controls. Together, both approaches have been successful in identifying genes, or at least regions of our chromosomes, that play a role in the development of autism. However, we know that many more genes will likely contribute to autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and that not all mechanisms that disrupt the normal function of a gene will be based on a single DNA mutation or a variant present in the general population.
My group at the Duke Center for Human Genetics recently embarked on a journey to identify autism genes using an approach that looks at chromosome content, and yet we reached an interesting finding using another technique that doesn't rely on the sequence of our DNA. For many years it has been known that ASDs can be caused by loss (deletion) or gain (duplication) of chromosomes. These genomic rearrangements can be large or small and some have been shown to cluster in particular regions of the genome, for example on the long arm of chromosome 15 (15q11-13). Our journey began by assessing the genomic content of 119 unrelated autistic children from families that we had collected over a number of years. We used genomic microarrays (microscope slides with printed content spanning our genome) to identify novel or common regions of deletion or duplication within one autistic child from each family. Although we identified a handful of novel regions and confirmed dozens of rearrangements that have increasingly been shown to exist within the 'normal' population, we decided to focus on a single deletion in one individual. The deletion, which contained five genes, sparked our interest because one of the genes, the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), had been previously implicated in autism. Previous studies using the traditional genetic approaches (mentioned above) had shown that OXTR was genetically associated with autism, other studies had shown that levels of oxytocin (a neurotransmitter that the receptor binds to OXTR) is important for pro-social behavior and that a knock-out of the receptor in mice can affect this behavior, and very recent studies have tested the supplementation of oxytocin in adults with autism.
After identifying the deletion in the one affected child we screened his family to see if it was novel and causative of his autism, or if he inherited the deletion from his parents. Somewhat disappointingly, his mother also had the deletion, but interestingly she had self reported obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) for which OXTR has also been implicated. Although we could have stopped the journey at this point, we decided try a different approach. Previous studies have shown that OXTR is controlled in the liver by a chemical group (methyl –CH3) that sits on top of the DNA but which doesn't change its sequence (click here for more information on epigenetic changes as they relate to autism). The phenomena of DNA methylation is a normal mechanism by which our cells silence parts of the genome that they don't want to be active (mainly repeat and retro-viral sequences) but they also use it as a switch to turn on or turn off genes for protein production. Significant in our journey was that the child with autism who had the OXTR deletion also had an affected brother. This is significant because when we assessed the methylation status of the whole family we noticed that the affected brother has very high levels of methylation in five different CG bases (among the A's C's G's and T's of our genome where the methyl group resides) in a 1,600 base pair window that had previously been identified as being methylated in the liver OXTR.
Differential methylation isn't a novel finding as a possible cause of autism. Previous studies in Rett syndrome, which has ASD like symptoms, have shown that mutations in the methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene not only contributes to the development of Rett syndrome but that these mutations affect the normal functioning of the gene which regulates the expression of other genes by altering their DNA methylation state. Additionally, imprinting (the silencing of a maternal or paternal copy of a chromosome by DNA methylation) has also been established as the basis for the development of Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes that, again, have ASD like symptoms. Our next step was to validate the observation that increased methylation of OXTR in the affected brother may be a causal mechanism of autism. We expanded our analysis to include evaluation of the methylation status of OXTR in the peripheral blood of 20 controls and 20 individuals with autism, and in a second dataset of the post-mortem samples of temporal cortex tissue (a center for language and learning) in eight controls and eight children with autism. In both datasets we were pleased to see that the individuals with autism had higher levels of methylation than the controls. We next measured the level of gene expression of OXTR because we would expect that increased DNA methylation would result in decreased gene expression – which it did in a very small number of samples that we could test.
So you're asking yourself, how, if all these other studies had pointed to OXTR being implicated in autism, is this discovery significant? Well, we hope that we have found a unique autism-associated DNA methylation signature in a receptor for a neurotransmitter that is important in social cognition in autism. The next more exciting journey will be to substantiate what we have found in a larger number of samples and to establish if oxytocin treatment can help
April 15, 2010 at 2:49 pm
This not really in response to this article, but something that I think is interesting. A friend of mine has a daughter on west coast who has a son with A.
They have recently had discovered with their doctor that he had excessive amount of mercury and has been removed, and since then seeing less of the Autism. Not sure if it is something to investigate, if it isn't already done.
April 15, 2010 at 3:09 pm
Am I wrong, but Oxytocin is a natural chemical found in the human body which becomes elevated in the system of a woman's body during pregnancy (especially at the very end to help with delivery). Many women are given some sort of medical intervention in the hospital at delivery to either help speed up or slow down contractions. I received both Oxytocin then Pitocin during my son's delivery after progress came to a grinding halt 10 hours later. At the age of two, we are now trying to determine if he is autistic or not. IS THERE A LINK?
April 15, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Based on this article and what Gretchen wrote, do we find a higher instance of ASD in babies born prematurely,or by C-section? They are not exposed to the oxytocin of the later stages of pregnancy and Labor. Or, for that matter, in babies who were not breastfed?
April 15, 2010 at 5:37 pm
This is fascinating. 2 of my sons have Autism, they have different fathers (indicating me genetically) AND I have a diagnosis of OCD. I would have loved to be part of this study.
April 15, 2010 at 8:00 pm
My son was induced with oxytocin and Pitocin, given in increasing amounts for more than 12 hours before finally doing a c-section. He was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. My daughter was a natural delivery with no pitocin or oxytocin supplements and is not on the spectrum. I have always wondered about the affect those drugs and my difficult labor had on his Autism Spectrum Disorder.
April 15, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Needles in a haystack? Study harder and look deeper. In the mean time can we all have some oxytocin in a cocktail so we all feel better anyway? :~(
April 16, 2010 at 12:27 am
I have two sons with Asperger Syndrome and one daughter not on the spectrum. I was induced with both my daughter and oldest son, but birth was completely natural with my youngest son. So, I don't see any connection with the induction and the occurrence of ASD in my children.
It would be an interesting study, though.
April 16, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Oh my God. This is really weird. My son has been diagnosed with Autism. I have no Autism in my family. I do not have OCD. My son's father does not have OCD, nor does he have Autism in his family. However, I WAS induced with Pitocin. hmmmm. Certainly makes you think.
April 16, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Interesting study – I understand how genetic researching is used to cull future generations but what are its implications for improving the quality of life for those who are already born?
April 18, 2010 at 12:51 am
I as well was enduced in labor with my son.They started the drip about 1 am and i gave birth at 10:07 am so that to was about 10 hours of this drug…and you think years ago people wasn't enduced in labor..i wasn't enduced with my daughter …she doesn,t have autism but has a genetic disorder…so this is interesting..

Please visit www.TerraCycle.com to explore the company, its methods, and its products. TerraCycle pays for shipping the items to its facility and pays us $.01 - $10.00 per item.
How Do I Participate?
1. Have your team members click on this link to view all of the collection categories, called Brigades. You'll find that you already have many of these waste items, just from living!
2. Collect the items in a box or bin lined with a plastic trash bag. Please make sure the items are clean and dry. You do not need to separate most items into individual brigades when collecting. However, items such as energy bar wrappers, cheese packaging, and toothbrushes are best stored separately in ziplock bags.
3. Send your items to the Center for Sustainability, located in Huntingdon House, 8 South George St. (across from the university store).For on-campus collection sites, you may use our friendly pick-up service! Email Center for Sustainability Team member Stephanie Bradley at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange for a pick-up. Stephanie will visit you with her big green TerraCycle Wagon and haul your items away for tabulating. Your items don't have to pile up: feel free to contact Stephanie weekly.
For off-campus collection sites (or for on-campus collectors who want to take a walk and visit Huntingdon House, home of CCERP), please bring your items in either a plastic trash bag or an unsealed box. Please label it with the name of your collection site so that we can award points to your site.
How Does My Team Get Awarded its Points?
The Center for Sustainability Team will count each item and log the point values on a spreadsheet. We will post the results weekly on this site.
Why Should I Participate in the 'Ville-age Contest?
Because it takes a 'Ville-age to save a child. Your waste will save a child's life. Each point that you receive for your items = $.01. When we collect $250. from our waste, the Center for Sustainability pays for a child's cleft lip and palate surgery through the SmileTrain. The SmileTrain performs life-altering cleft lip and palate surgeries to impoverished children.
The month after we fund a surgery, the SmileTrain sends us a full-color before and after photo of a child whose life was forever changed. Watch for the Wall of Smiles that we will be creating on campus to celebrate MU coming together as a 'Ville-age.
Thousands of children worldwide are born each year with clefts, and in some developing nations, newborns with clefts are abandoned by their parents, because without the surgery that takes as little as 45 minutes and costs $250. (a cost that their parents cannot afford) these children are doomed to a life of shame, ridicule, marginalization, and poverty. As newborns they have great difficulty nursing, and their physical problems continue as they are unable to master the challenges of eating and speaking normally. They are denied education and employment, ending up as beggars.
What Does the TerraCycle Program at MU have to do with Sustainability?
I am passionate about engaging MU in experiences that allow us to directly participate in all three aspects of sustainability (the Triple Bottom Line of social justice, economic equity, and environmental preservation). Practicing sustainability is a form of civic engagement. Please join us!
At MU we are a 'Ville-age, because it takes a village to live sustainably. Every time you see an event that says the 'Ville-age you will know that it is sponsored by the Center for Sustainability.
What a powerful experience for all of us, that as we work with TerraCycle to practice environmental preservation by transforming waste, we are also practicing social justice and economic equity, as each piece of waste brings us one step closer to transforming a suffering child's life forever. As the French say, "Petit a petit, l'oiseau fait son nid," "Little by little the bird builds its nest." Little by little, piece by piece of waste, the 'Ville-age saves a child.

BALTIMORE -- A year ago, Manny Machado was the toast of baseball.
He was an All-Star and got solid mention in the MVP voting at just 21 years old.
Now, in the eyes of the A's anyway, he's just toast.
The A's beat Machado's Baltimore Orioles 11-1 Sunday. Machado unintentionally knocked the A's Derek Norris out of the game in the sixth inning by twice winging the catcher with his backswing.
Then in the eighth inning, Machado didn't like a first pitch inside from the A's Fernando Abad. His reaction was to swing and release the bat after a second inside pitch, the bat flying in the general direction of third base.
That, the A's contend, was as intentional as anything they've seen all season, and the benches cleared. And although Machado denied it, the umpires sided with Oakland and threw him out of the game.
"That was worst temper tantrum I've probably ever seen on a baseball field," winning pitcher Scott Kazmir said. "He tried to say that he lost the bat. That clearly wasn't the case."
On Friday, Machado got into it with third baseman Josh Donaldson, saying Donaldson tagged him too hard. Because of that, several A's said they were ready just in case Machado did anything untoward.
A's designated hitter John Jaso, who drove in four runs with a double, single and grounder, ran as hard as he'd run all day going from the dugout to the plate area where Machado was.
"It got pretty intense there for a while," Jaso said. "There is a certain respect you have to have for this game. When I feel that somebody doesn't see that and doesn't respect the game, I really don't like it.
"I felt there wasn't respect for the game coming from one player. He said the tag (Friday) was hard, but on video, it was just a normal tag. And you start to think, 'Who does this guy think he is?' "
Machado seemed to think he was a guy misunderstood.
"The bat slipped out of my hands," he said. "I was trying to make contact."
Umpire crew chief Larry Vanover wasn't buying any of that. He ejected Abad for throwing inside at Machado twice and Machado for intentionally throwing the bat.
"It was obvious (Abad) threw at him the second time," Vanover said. "The first time you have some doubt, but the second time there was no doubt he threw at him. And then (Machado) threw the bat. That wasn't accidental."
Major League Baseball likely will review video of the play to see if fines and/or suspensions are warranted.
"There's no room in baseball for that," Donaldson said. He was out of the game by the eighth but said, "Without a doubt the bat tossing was intentional."
"I hope Major League Baseball looks into that. They really should."
The A's were unhappy in the extreme that Machado didn't apologize to Norris for hitting him with his backswing twice. Norris said, "I thought I caught him smiling once," then shook his head.
"(Machado) can't leave here today thinking he's done nothing wrong," Norris said. "What he is doing is a disgrace to baseball. Things like that stain your career. When Delmon Young hit a (minor league) umpire unintentionally (with a bat in 2006), that stained his career for years."
Oakland's blowout win was a tuneup for a three-game series against the Angels in Anaheim starting Monday. The A's take an American League-best 39-24 record into the series. When the teams met in Oakland just over a week ago, the A's swept the three-game set, outscoring the Angels 26-11.

I took two weeks off from running. Not a step, just stationary bike and elliptical. Mostly just to give my n00b-runner system a chance to get to 100%, also getting a little worried that I'd been flirting with PF for too long. Then this week was just to gradually get back into the swing. Did manage 6 or 7 miles on treadmill on incline today. No pain, hurrah.
But the most benefit derived from this week's activity was probably from reading Fred's interesting posts ... Running economy is something I've wondering about a lot all of this year. For a novice like myself I have the theory I can just stress the body in various ways and it will naturally adapt to more economical motion in response so long as I don't fight it.
I'll tell you next year how that works out
Bob - I've never worried about running. Never counted breaths per step, number of steps per minutes, heel - mid -forefoot strike, stride length etc. I am convinced the more miles you run; the more efficient YOUR body becomes. We have to expect that people who run large amounts of miles for many years are more efficient than someone starting c25k. Keep at it and you'll find the same thing.
Alberto Salazar's training:
" A typical week for Alberto had more than 100 miles of running. Monday would include a fartlek run followed by eight to twelve 200-meter repeats at 30 seconds with 30 seconds rest. Tuesday would have a hard track or loop trail sessions. A staple of Tuesday afternoon was to alternate a fast mile at 4:30 to 4:40 with a "recovery" mile at 5:20 to 5:40 for seven to nine miles (the result being an average of about a 5-minute mile pace for the entire distance). Thursday morning usually was a five-mile run at marathon race pace (about 24:30). Thursday afternoon was a fast 7-10 mile run followed by six to nine 300-meter cut downs (56 to 42 seconds), or a similar workout. Saturday was the toughest workout of the week. I once saw him do 4 x 1-mile cut downs , starting in the mid-4:20s and finishing around 4:10. This was a hard workout, but not uncommon. And that was an easy workout compared to the notorious "30th Avenue" session*, which was a key workout leading up to Alberto's New York marathon victories. If the Sunday long run is counted, the result is six hard workouts each week. With that load, he ran his mileage at a relatively easy pace (I usually saw him going 6:30 to 7:00 minute mile pace)"
Morning all. 16 miles this morning at 8:30 pace. First three with dw at 9:50 warm up. Ran for an hour and then 5 X 3 min marathon pace surges with 3 minutes rest. Finished with a group run on the beach and ran those 5 miles barefoot and slow in the edge of the water. We'll see how my ankles feel tomorrow morning.
Hi everyone!
I enjoyed the item about Salazar, Fred, so many fast miles each week is a surprise to me. Do you know anything about the "notorious 30th. Avenue workout" alluded to?
Bob, take it easy on your PF; I usually find the tendons under my foot get sore from stretching them by toeing off when running steep hills. This may not be the problem in your case, however.
I ran a local 5k this morning, warm and humid, managed 22:08 with pleasingly even kilometre splits. I had hoped for 21:XX- the legs were game but lungs could not find any oxygen for the last 500 metres, runners ahead of me must have used it all up!
Good Morning
Ran this route at a 8:52 pace this morning. 70 degrees with 80%Rh. I haven't run this in a while and forgot how hilly the last 5 miles are.
Most of this route is on dirt road through the woods. Quite enjoyable to be out in nature.
Looks like an enjoyable run Chick.
Today was my last LR before HTC. 13 in 9:34's, but more importantly I finished feeling very strong and not at all fatigued. Spareribs
Hi Chicken and those to follow.
Took Sunday as a usual rest day. Ran 5.75 progression miles this morning. First @ 8:30 2nd and 3rd mid and low 7's; 4th mid 6, and last 6:15 with 3/4 mile cool down.
This will be my highest weekly mileage this training cycle and will include a 14 and 10 mile hilly run and 22 mile progression run Sat morning. Hopefully will be 70 miles or so this week. Last training cycle I spend many weeks in the 80 mile range and have concluded it was too much work with little additional benefit over 65 mile weeks with better quality. We shall see come Oct. 4!!
Have a good run today. Fred; get that heart rate up a bit!!

*"30th Avenue" was a University of Oregon staple cross country workout until the early 1980s when it became apparent that athletes were getting injured from the effort. The workout started with 3 consecutive laps on the track at 60, 65 and then 70 seconds to simulate the fast start of a race. The runners then headed out onto the roads at a fast pace, usually in the 5:20-:30 per-mile range. At about two miles into the run, the runners went up 30th Avenue, about a mile long hill at 6-7 percent grade, followed by a similar downhill. At the bottom of the hill, the runners ran another 1200 meters on the road in 3:15 (usually faster) and continued on their mid 5-minute mile pace for several miles, actually running on a stretch of Interstate-5 as they returned to the track. At the track, the runners then ran 3 consecutive laps in 70, 65 and then 60 seconds.

6 miles recovery this morning at 6:00am. Temps in the low 70,s with low humidity...Yeah. Tommorow is indoor spinning class for 1 hour then 1 hour of core work.
2.2 easy this morning in perfect Chicago temps. Tomorrow is 3 miles, one slow, one fast, one slow, then off to Hood to Coast. Feeling great. Spareribs
Is that a race, Spareribs? If so, good luck! It looks like all of you have had a good August.
Thanks for the kind words, KS. And for the photos of Taos, Fred (a few weeks ago now). We didn't stop off there because my mom didn't feel up to it. As it was, she got sick the last day of the trip so it's a good thing we didn't stop off in NM. We did pass through the Comanche National Grassland in southeastern Colorado (gorgeous country) and through NM north to south, also incredibly beautiful. I saw an eagle, a couple of elk, a coyote running through the short grass prairie, and many pronghorn antelope (in Wyoming).
I've been back a few days now and have caught a bug of some sort. I knew something was up because I had no energy on my last few runs, which is a sure sign I'm catching something. So, I didn't run yesterday after 6.5 miles on Sunday, and I took today off when I began to feel worse. I'll probably stay home from work tomorrow. If I don't feel too awful in the morning, I'll go for a run. Sometimes that helps to shorten the bug.
Good night all.
Good Morning
Finally cooled down some here, 64 with low RH at 5:30am. 9 hilly miles at 7:45 pace. This is the same run as last wed only faster, turning the heat down has surely helped. Legs felt real strong at the end which is a great sign for Applefest 1/2 which is coming up the end of Sept.
Good runs to all
Good to see Sierra back. Get well.
Nice run chicken. I'm still waiting for that cooldown so my running will be a little better.
13.75 moh. First half at 7:53 avg pace and 2nd half at 7:33 pace. Last 7-8 miles didn't vary +- 5 seconds.

Authorities on Monday recovered the body of a 52-year-old climber who went missing Sunday afternoon during his descent from Thunder Pyramid Peak, a 13,932-foot summit next to Pyramid Peak about 10 miles southwest of Aspen.
The Pitkin County Coroner's Office identified him as Steve Gladbach, of Pueblo. He died from head trauma in addition to "multiple systems injuries," the Coroner's Office said.
An air search to locate him Sunday evening was unsuccessful. Emergency dispatchers first received the report of a missing climber around 2 p.m. Sunday. Just after 6 p.m. Sunday, Mountain Rescue Aspen was looking for him with the help of DBS Helicopters, of Rifle.
On Monday, the search resumed by air and on foot, with a High-Altitude Army National Guard Aviation Training Site helicopter and four two-person ground teams from Mountain Rescue Aspen participating. At 11:18 a.m., Gladbach's body was located, transported off the mountain and turned over to the Coroner's Office.
A sheriff's deputy Sunday said the missing man was an experienced climber. He had reached the summit of Thunder Pyramid Peak with two other climbers, the deputy said. The three climbers had previously scaled two mountain peaks higher than 14,000 feet over the weekend, the deputy said.
The two other climbers were not in the same area as Gladbach when he went missing, authorities have said, adding that Gladbach may have been descending the summit well ahead of them. They used a SPOT locator device to alert authorities to their situation.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Alex Burchetta said it took more than 2.5 hours for the ground teams to descend the mountain after finding the body Monday.
Pyramid Peak and Thunder Pyramid Peak, located in the Maroon Bells Wilderness Area, are popular tests for summer climbers.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – Top-seeded Lindsey Wilson College outscored No. 2 University of Pikeville 13-9 in overtime to claim the championship of the Mid-South Conference tournament 77-73 on Sunday afternoon in the Frankfort Convention Center.
Pikeville (26-6), saw a seven-game win streak come to an end with the loss, but is assured of a trip to Kansas City to play in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball National Tournament beginning March 13.
Lindsey Wilson, 29-4, got a three-point play by junior Milton Watts four seconds into overtime, and when senior guard Kalen Kimberland sank two free throws with 4:18 to play, Lindsey was on top 69-64.
Kimberland led the Blue Raiders with 25 points, hitting 12-of-16 from the line.
The Bears got as close as two with 2:07 left when senior Jamar Briscoe sank a three-point shot to make it 71-69, but could get no closer in the extra frame.
The game was tied 11 times and saw the lead change hands five different times, but in overtime, Lindsey led the entire way.
The teams, ranked third (Lindsey Wilson) and 10th (UPike) in the country, were separated by no more than eight points in the entire game.
Briscoe led all scorers with 32 points in the game. The senior from Baltimore scored a tournament high 83 points in three outings.
Junior guard Elisha Justice fired in 11 while handing out seven assists, pulling four rebounds and picking up two steals. In 32 minutes of play, he turned it over only a single time.
Kimberland was joined in double figures by Watts, who had 12 and 10 rebounds, while senior DeAntra Scott tossed in 11 and junior Chris Bridges 10.

Look for tuna that smells fresh like the ocean and has clear, bright eyes, clean red gills, and moist, shiny, tightly adhering scales.
Remove packaging, rinse fish under cold water, and pat dry. Refrigerate covered with crushed ice and cling wrap for up to two days.
Avoid overcooking. Tuna is done when its flesh becomes opaque but is still moist.
Brush tuna with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and wrap in foil to bake.
Tuna is an excellent source of selenium, niacin, and vitamin B12.

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.

It was the wrong time to be wearing a blue Union Army overcoat in southeastern Missouri in the year 1866.
But Edward Giles did just that-and was murdered for his actions-at the hands of Newton Hammond, his former overseer at a plantation owned by Irving Shields, in New Madrid, Mo. on Feb. 12, 1866.
Giles, who by then was a free man and had taken up residence in Marietta, was returned home and buried at Mound Cemetery.
Article Photos
SHARON BOPP The Marietta Times
Ben Bain, Marietta resident and author of "Multiracial Pioneers of the Ohio Valley," looks upon the gravesite of Edward Giles in Mound Cemetery Friday. Giles, a slave freed during the Civil War by the local 63rd Ohio unit and brought to Marietta with his wife and son, was murdered by the overseer of the plantation where he was enslaved in New Madrid, Mo. shortly after the Civil War ended.
Weeks after Giles' murder, on March 2, The Morgan Herald reported that the "overseer...immediately shot him down, remarking that he would 'take the stiffening out of them Yankee clothes.'"
That act of murder was no surprise to Ben Bain of Marietta, author of "Multiracial Pioneers of the Ohio Valley," published in 1999.
"Everybody was rather bitter so soon after the Civil War, whether you were for the north or the south," Bain said. "Giles would have given the overseer two reasons (to murder him). One, that he got away from the plantation owner. Two, that he had on Union blue."
Fact Box
About Edward Giles
Born in 1832 and raised as a slave in Harden County, Ky.
Eventually sold to a plantation owned by Irving Shields in New Madrid, Mo.
During the Civil War, freed by 63rd Ohio unit and brought to Marietta with his wife and son.
Murdered in New Madrid, Mo. by his former overseer on Feb. 12, 1866. Giles had traveled there to pick up his mother-in-law and move her to Marietta.
Buried in Mound Cemetery, Marietta.
Born in Harden County, Ky. in 1832 and raised as a slave, Giles had eventually been sold to the Shields plantation in New Madrid along the Mississippi River.
"At the beginning of the Civil War, one of the local units, the 63rd Ohio unit, went through the area and liberated Giles' (Missouri) plantation," said Scott Britton, local historian and executive director of The Castle.
Not long after, Giles, his wife, Mary, and his son were brought to Marietta by Alexander Haskins, who served in the 63rd Ohio unit as a lieutenant colonel and was an engineer for the city of Marietta.
"That was pretty typical of the time," Britton said. "A lot of people would help bring (former slaves) to freedom when they came back (to an area) on furlough or for a visit."
Giles enlisted in the Civil War on Aug. 10, 1864. He served just more than a year in the 5th U.S. Colored Troops, then returned to his family in Marietta.
Traveling to New Madrid in February 1866, Giles was intending to bring his mother-in-law to Marietta to live.
He never made it back to the Mid-Ohio Valley alive, but Giles' mother-in-law returned his body for burial in Mound Cemetery.
The simple tombstone that marks his gravesite is in the far left-hand corner of the cemetery, commemorated with a small U.S. flag and a white paper flower.
Mary Shields Giles remained a Marietta resident until her death in 1915 at the age of about 77.
"She ended up doing various odd jobs in Marietta to make ends meet and help raise her son," said Britton.
It is not known if Giles' murderer, Newton Hammond, was ever brought to justice.
However, in March 1866, the Marietta Register wrote "Such black-hearted, cowardly villains ought to be dealt with with the utmost severity, and if the people of the south will not mete out justice to them, then let the national government do it at all hazards and at any cost. Let justice be done tho' the heavens fall and the powers of earth be shaken."

2.3-6 Intent to Defraud
Revised to December 1, 2007
A person acts with the intent to defraud when (he/she) deceives or tricks another person with the intent to deprive that person of (his/her) right, or in some manner to do (him/her) an injury.
The word "defraud" means to practice fraud, to cheat or trick, to deprive a person of property or any interest or right by fraud, deceit or artifice.
The meaning of "fraud," both in its legal usage and its common usage, is the same: a deliberately planned purpose and intent to cheat or deceive or unlawfully deprive someone of some advantage, benefit or property. "Fraudulently" means done, made or effected with a purpose or design to carry out a fraud.
See State v. DeCaro, 252
Conn. 229, 242 n.12 (2000) ("defraud" requires the intent to cause injury);
State v. Yurch, 37 Conn. App. 72, 80-81, appeal dismissed, 235 Conn. 469
(1995) (distinguishing an intent to defraud from an intent to deceive).

Notational Velocity
Notational Velocity is an application that stores and retrieves notes.
In Notational Velocity, the same area is used both for creating notes and searching. I.e., in the process of entering the title for a new note, related notes appear below, letting users file information there if they choose. Likewise, if a search reveals nothing, one need simply press return to create a note with the appropriate title.Its unique advantages are as follows:
- Modeless Operation
Searching for notes is not a separate action; rather, it is the primary interface.
- Incremental Search
Searching encompasses all notes' content and occurs instantly with each key pressed.
- Transparent Encryption
All information is compressed and encrypted (enabled optionally) before it is recorded to disk.
- Mouseless Interaction
Notational Velocity's window was designed for keyboard input above all else, and thus has no buttons.
- Data Instead of Documents
There is no manual "saving" in Notational Velocity; all modifications take effect immediately.
- Complete External Access
Synchronize natively with Simplenote, or via files in Dropbox with PlainText, Elements, iA Writer, and other iOS apps.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: notes , notepad
24 Opinions
I like the new icon but also the new features, specially the horizontal layout.
And I also like the possibility to format the text, the automatic recognition of hyperlinks and the options to customize the color of the notes field and the text font.
And the Simplenote sync is the icing on the cake.
Love the new icon.
Call me superficial, but I really like the note-like look of the JustNotes GUI over NV's more traditional GUI. That said, I'm going to go with NV for its innovative search/create feature, because in the end function wins face. I will keep JN on the drive just in case they steal the idea because, remember, I am superficial.
And fickle. With the discovery of this app I am now convinced Simplenote wins Evernote â" it is a bloated platform â" and I am officially jumping ship. I have a lot of Cmd-C/Ving to do.
So, if you came here on one of those "why are people polluting macosxhints and other 'hype' sites on this thing that, on a prima facie, resembles the 5000+ dead clones of Stickes.app?" It took me about six months of going through this before I decided to give one of the GitHub forks a try, and I finally gave up Stickies/using flatfiles on unix after way too long. I normally ignore the hype on the mac networks, but this had more credibility since the forks/opensource stuff has clearly won over some of the better known macdev folks, who I have never seen easy to just sell on something.
First, it's open source and free. The SimpleNote integration makes it a real simple app to test, even if you're using EverNote. Second, it's already working to import and export notes. NV nor SimpleNote lock you in; in fact, their API encourages the stuff you can see on their API page.
Took me five minutes to see why people were loving this, and I suggest its worth the try.
Actually, the new icon has me. Although a bit odd, I think it's got charm.
Well, the icon went from worse to badâ¦Â But who cares when the program keeps improving in such leaps and bounds! Simplenote support is fantasticâ¦!
Software is just great. Now with Simplenote Sync it replaced Evernote!
The new v2.0b2 with Simplenote sync and other fixes brings it ahead of JustNotes and Nottingham, I think.
Nice new icon and simplenote syncing! The king is back!
LIke it a lot. Can't wait for the integration with Simplenote!

Flirty banter over beers and a game of Big Buck Hunter, hips grazing as you push your way up to the bar, those hungry eyes…drunk sex is marked by a heated buildup that culminates in ripping each other's clothes off, banging into furniture, and tripping your way to the bed. Cultivate that feeling of anticipation by planting a sexy seed. "I texted my husband at work that I was wearing this red lace thong he loves," says Alexandra, 28. "We were both champing at the bit by the time we got home." Whether it's a look you give him in the pharmacy or a quick make-out in the hallway, do something that serves as the appetizer to really wild, (faux) waste-y sex.
When you picture a bar (a nice one, not your local watering hole), you probably see good-looking people rubbing elbows in an intimate, dimly lit space. That sets the mood for things to come.…Bring that sexy, hazy feeling into your own boudoir (must be said with an exaggerated French accent) with a red lightbulb. As one reviewer on Amazon.com says, "Not much of a light source, but sets the tone in a dark room where you are enjoying anything that's cool to do in a dark room." That's the kind of review that'll make you click Add to Cart without thinking twice.

Ontario County Sheriff's deputies said a Clifton Springs man was ticketed with following too closely after an accident Friday morning that closed a stretch of Route 96 for about half an hour.

A group of monthly local regular and substitute bunco players, some of whom have been playing with the same group for 25 or more years, decided to give back by collecting a donation each month to be presented to a local charity during the Christmas season.
Although the idea began midyear, by Christmas the players had collected $153. A donation was given to Hospice of San Joaquin in memory of former player Lupe Rin.
Players would like to challenge all other bunco groups to consider giving back to the community in 2013 to a charity of choice.

A Louisiana family is split apart by the hurricane. Three of their children are missing, and they have no way to find out if they are dead or alive.
The Slidell family barely escaped from Louisiana, and they continue to search for their missing children. June and Donald Durden can't find their son, and the phone lines are down.
"I haven't heard from him, and I'm so worried about that," June said.
"We've been trying to get in touch with him, but we can't," Donald said.
The family sits glued to the news, watching the destruction. Three of their eight children are now missing. Two more just went back to check on the family dogs. Donald Durden is one of the children who evacuated.
"If it wasn't for my daughter, I probably would have stayed," Donald said.
His daughter's mother is also missing.
The hurricane broke early Monday morning in Louisiana.
"The roof blew off and the walls started collapsing," Donald said.
The family left around 9:30 Central Time Sunday morning and got to McCormick around 9:30 Eastern Time Sunday night.
They lived in their house for twenty-five years, and now everything is destroyed. June does not know what they're going to do.
"My home is gone. All of my kids' homes are gone," June said.
They don't know when they will be able to return home. They Durden family does not have insurance and have not gotten any word about disaster relief because most phone lines in the area are down.
