After a long review of what plan to follow i Have decided to spend from now until Xmas and follow the HADD plan with the hope that by Xmas I will have built up the base to allow me to start a 16 week plan to get me through a spring marathon.
I have entered some thoughts about why I am doing it at my blog http://calfstrainsrus.wordpress.com/ and I am keen to hear from anybody who can offer me advice.
My plan is at first to get up to 40-45 mpw nearly all at MHR-50 which for me will be 118bpm (118-122) with a couple of X/C races thrown in over the next 8 weeks. I wil be doing a test this week to give me a baseline of performance.
If anybody has a plan they have built up feel free to send me a link
JohnnyThere was a very popular thread all about Hadd, etc titled "Base trainining help needed". I just tried to search it out to provide the link, but search isn't working at present.
Just trying searching for it 40mins but it only allows one search apparently.
There is a thread on US runners world forum but it is quite old and it is more about the theories than the practicalities.
Today was my first day on the plan. I had calculated my easy HR as 125. MHR 168-25%. I had no idea what pace 125HR was turn out to be but it was not going to be that quick, which was not a bad thing.
Where I work there are a lot of hills and so it was going to be difficult to find a flat route. Today was an undulating 4.1 miler where 125 was not to hard to keep to (although my HR did seem to want to stay at 128 repeatedly) until I went uphill in which case it shot up to 130 and even a 135 on one hill.
The average for the run was 125 with a MHR of 136. The pace was quite steady and it probably means I can run with a couple of other runners at lunchtime who normally would be much slower.
Tomorrow will be 5-7 miles, maybe at the gym on a treadmill although I am not sure I can stand the boredom. Wednesday will probably be a 2400m * 5 test as per the plan but I will have to work out what HR bands to us.
My max is 168 so I think that I wil have some problems sustaining 2400m at 160 at the moment. It will have to be traget HR of 120, 130,140,150,160 for each of the 2400m efforts with 90 seconds rest.
Best to use the advanced searched in Google.
eg Hadd site:runnersworld.co.uk
gets lots of good threads
I follow "Hadd's" approach to training and am doing a marathon in less than 2 weeks time. I feel I've only scratched the surface and that there's plently more to come.
There's a big Hadd thread here: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/viewtopic.php?id=31192&page=1
Unfortunately, "Hadd" (aka John Walsh) died last week of a heart attack whiel running, aged only 56.
Forum search now working again; here is the link to the thread that I posted about earlier.
Sorry to hear of his early demise...
Cheers DrD and 40min - will check that fetcheveryone thread out. Not really looked at that site before.
Today was a battle to keep HR down - average of 131 over 5.21 miles. Bit of a tough day at work so I am not surprised it was higher.
______________________________________________Recently started bloghttp://calfstrainsrus.wordpress.com/
I made big strides having read the Hadd stuff. It motivated me to run 7 days per week. I was a little sceptical at first, as the schedule I followed had no fast running in it. I guess this fact means that you can run for longer because of not needing "recovery runs". This obviously meant more miles eventually too. Generally the 65-70% runs initially are quite slow, infact runners starting the hadd stuff regularly referred to these as almost walking. But once these extend to 70mins duration on a regular basis, the pace for the HR increases, as the lactate threshold rises.
Also I remember (I started Hadd in 2005) being thoroughly enthused and motivated by the novelty that running for time and HR brought, rather than thinking about speed and distance.
The big improvement for me came when I added the 2 90min runs. 10mins warm-up, 70mins@80%, 10mins warm-down. These sessions, I believe, were key to me improving my marathon time.
The most amazing thing was, when it came to racing. I was nervous having done about 12 weeks of Hadd, and the realisation that I would be running at an intensity that I had't gone any where near in the last 3 months!!!!!
But needless to say, once the legs got going, the race went well. And having finished felt as if I could've done another 10k!!
I would thoroughly recommend the Hadd stuff, especially for beginners, and definitely for those wishing to step up to, or improve their marathon times.

All good stuff. I checked out the fetcheveryone thread - well about a third of it because it was so long. There seems to be 2 or 3 knowledgeable posters (Boab, Dr.Dan and Happy Panda from memory) but there was a lot of waffle the further I got into the thread.
Brian makes an interesting point, which must be something that anybody starting out on Hadd thinks about. How do I run fast after 12 weeks of slow running. It seems to have worked for him.
I did my first benchmark tonight and I don't really know what to make of it.
2400m at 110,120,130,140 and 150bpm. 90 seconds rest (it was more like 2 minutes though) . All done on the treadmill which will give me consistency of conditions over time.
Zone AHR Time Pace
110 108 15:31 10:21 - seemed very slow and it was
120 118 13:19 08:53 - more comfortable
130 131 12:14 08:09 - felt like a decent pace at last
140 140 11:04 07:23 - definitely working
150 137 10:04 06:48. - impossible to get my HR to150. I ran the last mile (or more) at 6:18 pace and yet did not get above 147. I could not have pushed much more without sprinting. On Sunday I ran a 5 miler in 7:30 pace with an average HR of 141 and a max of 153. Today a mile at 6:18 only gave me147 max. What gives.
I am not sure what the above tells me about my current fitness levels but I knew I had done a good work at at the end. 7.5 miles in the bag. Any thoughts appreciated
Well I've just spent a reasonably long time re-reading the original 25 page HADD training document and I think I'll be using it in some shape or form in my come-back to running fitness. Watch this space, but I'm a good few weeks off strapping on the Garmin and squeezing that toothpaste tube just yet.
JB - sorry, just read your post. I've never put HADD training into actual practise so others may have more to say about your stats based on experience, but I do understand a bit about HR. IMO it's no great surprise that you couldn't get up to target HR over the course of a mile if most of the previous running had been at a relatively easier pace. You're bound to be able to hit higher HR over a continuous, maximal 5 mile effort.
One thing I do understand about HADD training is the need for perserverance, patience and consistency. I can only suggest you stick with the easy paced training, repeat the test further down the line as prescribed and see how the stats compare.
Phil makes a good point about the time required to get the HR up to a decent level. Also the fact that you took longer recoveries would affect it, as the Hr would've dropped a few more beats in the extra 30s or so.
It's a start JB. Now to start your training. First things first - concentrate on building the lower intensity runs up to a minimum of 70mins duration. Then add in the 2 90min runs.
DR Dan, yes I agree on the weekly mileage. Infact may be better to just incorporate 1 90min run initially, whilst building the fitness. Then adding the 2nd later?

That may be the way to start ... ar perhaps to do two sessions but keep them shorter. I jumped in to the ILTHR sessions (12 miles, with 10.5 miles at sub-LT) once I was running 50 mpw but was probably not quite ready. May and June showed great improvement in average pace for HR (145 bpm is my 81-82% maxHR) and the drift came down. I over-did things in June however ... 250+ miles running (but also 136 miles on the bike and 6.5 mills of front crawl) and ended up with a hamstring niggle which meant July was reduced down to just 95 miles. However, I think you can see the progress (the two in brackets are on a different route, the rest are identical) ... drift came right down and I feel that had I continued in July, things might have improved further.
23/05/2011 7:39/m 145 bpm(31/05/2011 7:39/m 144)07/06/2011 7:29/m 14410/06/2011 7:24/m 14414/06/2011 7:31/m 14317/06/2011 7:13/m 14321/06/2011 7:13/m 14324/06/2011 7:14/m 139 11/07/2011 7:20/m 14515/07/2011 7:14/m 145
After niggly July, I had to concentrate on getting my mileage back up ... and especially my long runs as I have a mara in October. So the sub-LT sessions took 2nd place and became more infrequent to ensure my legs were able to get me around the long runs.
19/08/2011 7:14/m 14426/08/2011 7:07/m 144 09/09/2011 7:16/m 14521/09/2011 7:21/m 140(27/09/2011 7:36/m 140)
I'm hopeful that the mileage over August and September has left me more robust and that, if I recover from the mara, I'll be able to pick up the sub-LT sessiosn again.

DrD, What I found with the 80% runs was when I did them regularly, the initial improvemnt wasquick but after about 4 to 5 weeks of one per week, the improvement decreased, and I hit a plateau pace.At this point, if I was training for a marathon, I would up these runs to 83/84% and this would normally equate to my eventual marathon pace.I haven't been doing the 80% runs hardly at all, similar reasons to you, I have been injured Feb to June, and then after gradually building back the mileage (I am doing Abingdon marathon in 2 weeks - eek!!!!), I was distracted by the need to get in the longer runs and found it difficult recovering enough to fit them in.
I am also entered into VLM 2012, so I will definitely incorporate the 80% runs into my build-up to the spring marathon.
Dr.Dan wrote (see)
Looking forward to seeing you progress PP!
Me too, Dr.D. It will definitely be an exercise in patience because part of me is itching to get back to training with my old club 'b' group, which has been flourishing in my absence, but I want to be in tip-top aerobic condition before I set foot on a track again. HADD might just give me the discipline I need to get there.
Looking at the racing calendar, I've already completely discounted any XC - I can't see all that up and down being much good for hip injury rehab anyway - so effectively I've got a good few months to make a sensible build-up to target Spring/Summer road racing.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (458 votes).
In short: Great course, very scenic, pleasantly undulating, enough runners for atmosphere, superb organisationIn full: I loved it last year and came back for more. Almost forgot why; but start running and the reasons came back. Good start venue. Friendly atmosphere. Really liked the two loops. The daffodils. The bridges. The villages. The views. There seemed to be more downhill bits than up. Most races have a really boring bit but the course kept your interest really nicely. Superb organisation. No rain and a bit of sun. It's the only 20 mile race I've ever done, on route to what I hope is my second marathon - and I absolutely loved it. Well done and thank you.Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Thanks to Bedford Harriers and all the marshalls and helpers. As enjoyable as a 20 mile run can be.Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Excellent race, really well organisedIn full: Ran like clockwork (the event, not me!). Hundreds of really enthusiastic marshalls providing great support.Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Excellent preparation run for London marathon. Friendly, helpful marshalls.Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Well run, friendly marshalls, great hoody. Good marathon prepDate of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Lovely Race!! Excellent organization & superb, encouraging marshalling. In full: My first time running this and was enormously impressed. The organization was excellent. The hoodie is great. Thank you to a team of superb marshalls. All were very encouraging & supportive. Well manned water stations.The route was scenic and rural. This is not a hilly course, the undulations were pleasant with nothing too steep or too long. A really good Spring marathon preparation race.I shall DEFINATELY be back!Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Great for those training for a spring or the London marathon!In full: This is my second Oakley 20 and although the thought of running 20 miles fills me with dread, the scenery and the very smart hoodie, makes it worth the pain.As always the organisation, courtesy of Beds Harriers, was slick and smooth, and their encouragement was very welcome from mile 15 onwards.I do have one gripe (well two): Firstly, the number of runners who ignored requests from the marshals to "keep to the left" and, secondly, those wearing head/earphones of which one or two I had to barge past because when I (very politely) asked 'excuse me' they couldn't hear me.And to respond to the person who complained about not knowing where the water was located at the finish, or where to collect her hoodie, all the details were provided in the information sheet that accompanied your race number.Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Tough course made easier with excellent organisationIn full: This was the third time I have run the Oakley 20 - and it doesn't get any easier! I was surprised to get a PB this year as I started the race knackered!The start was delayed a little - probably due to the long queue to drop of bags. I would encourage people to turn up really early - for the bag drop and car parking.Once underway the race was well marshalled and the regular water stops were appreciated. As always, the last 1/2 mile through the housing estate was frustrating - but I guess the roads around Oakley don't allow for infinite permutations of route.At the end we were greeted with water, bananas, oranges and SIS energy bars - all welcome. And the hoodie is very popular - especially with my other half!If you're training for a spring marathon then this is a good training race. The hills are challenging - but that just makes a flatter marathon that much easier.Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Recommended .. ideal preparation for Sping marathonsIn full: Organisation very good. Lots of marshalls & plenty of water stations. I arrived early so no problems with car parking. I ran the last mile as warm up so knew what to expect but a re-think of the last mile / finish would be worthwhile. Hoody a nice change and a nice colour - will definitely get used. Highly recommended as part of build up to a Spring marathon or simply a race in itself. Well done Bedford HarriersDate of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Great pre-marathon raceIn full: A great pre-marathon race to test your pacing. Gently undulating (there are no proper hills), nice senic route. Great marshalls and plenty of water stations. Well organised by Beford Harrier - love the hoodyDate of review: March 29, 2010

Some cutting edge places like MTV have their own systems like Wave in place already, however, those firms are few and far between.Going to take a good while to get enough people on to fully realize the advantage to using this over simply shooting an email or hitting up GChat, but they are dumping invites by the tons. I've been given over 20 invites to give out already since I first made it in.

after being dioginosed with several food allergies this has aided in settleing my gut. I am feeling so very different should of done this a long time ago
ok probiotic
Posted by mmiller on Aug 17, 2013
I couldn't really tell any difference while taking this product.
I had high hopes, but...
Posted by Reviewer2589455 on Jan 16, 2014
After reading all the glowing reviews, I had high hopes for this pricey probiotics. So I'm sad to report that I don't notice much difference. Fyi, I did a loading dose and took them hours after food and on an empty stomach before bed and first thing in the morning. I also finished the box so I believe I gave them enough time. I think it just didn't have a noticeable effect on me because I'd already been taking probiotics (jarrows and fermented food) for a long time. I was hoping for a boost with these and even better health, but maybe that's not really possible. So these pills might be better for those with illnessness or chronic gut issues, rather than those who are already pretty healthy. Also the capsules are small and very easy to swallow. They smell pleasant to me, kind of like soya sauce.

maybe i was expecting a miracle with this after reading so many great reviews, but i did not see much improvement from ibs.
Jury is still out...
Posted by Reviewer1738658 on May 14, 2009
I can't really say whether or not I have noticed a difference with these probiotics. They definately haven't helped in the "regularity" department though... I will probably be trying a different brand. I really liked the Ultimate Flora Critical Care but it requires refrigeration which isn't really convenient. I'll keep searching.
I don't know but it's not working for me.
Posted by Reviewer1776976 on Oct 29, 2009
I still get gas sometimes, upset stomach.. and I'm on 2 weeks. I had this many month ago, and I thought then why I didn't feel anything. So, I gave the second shot.. and it almost feels like before. Nothing new. I don't have that big problem on my stomach to notice any improvements except some occasional gas problems. I'm glad it's working for others but not for me. This is the last time, I would be trying it.
Okay product
Posted by Reviewer1149187 on Dec 16, 2009
Hardly enough beneficial bacteria to make a difference, its great that it is a whole based probiotic still in its fermenting state, but it's simply not enough to make a difference. I highly advise that you save your money and start fermenting your own vegetables & kefir. Thanks iHerb!
Was brilliant - initially
Posted by Reviewer1860754 on Feb 21, 2010
Hey the first lot I got - it worked wonders. I wasn't bloated and went sometimes 3 times to use my bowels a day!!! I just had to get more - of which I did. But it had no effect the second time around. None at all - puzzled.
Caused Severe Rash
Posted by Reviewer1742629 on Mar 29, 2010
I'm sure this is a good product but wanted people to be aware that it caused a severe genital rash when I used it. It took me several months to figure out what was causing the rash. At first I thought it was a yeast infection but it didn't respond to treatment. Two doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. I stopped the probiotics for a different reason and the rash cleared up. Started again and the rash came back. I tried this 3 times and each time was the same so I had to conclude it was the Dr. Ohhirra's that was causing the rash. Have not had a problem since I stopped using the probiotics. I took one pill per day in the early morning on an empty stomach with distilled water as directed. I guess I just didn't need probiotics.

I am still taking one capsule in the morning and one in the evening. So far I haven't noticed a big difference.

Empowerment is in the Eye of the Beholder
"Empowerment rolls off the tongue easily for many feminists. It's a taken-for-granted good, a taken-for-granted shared goal for all who want to improve women's opportunities and women's lives," Katie Schubert wrote on her blog, Satrey, in 2011.
"But, what is this shared goal of empowerment?"
For a term that is nearly ubiquitous in discussions about gender equality, especially in the context of the developing world, "empowerment" can be tricky to define. That is why this year Schubert is making her third trip to Cambodia, where she hopes to better understand what empowerment looks like in different cultures and value systems.
In 2008, Schubert—currently a doctoral student in the Department of Religion's Theology, Ethics, and Culture program—made her first, three-month visit to Phnom Penh, working for a local non-governmental organization (NGO), Project Against Domestic Violence. In summer 2010 she returned to Cambodia with another organization, the Methodist Missions. This January, she left for a 10-month research trip funded by a Fulbright Scholarship.
This third trip was fueled by questions and observations from her first two journeys to the country. In particular, she was interested in the disconnect between how NGOs and local Cambodian women understood empowerment. One way in which this disconnect crystallizes is in how they view the chbap srey, a code of conduct for women (in Khmer—the Cambodian language—chbap means "law" and srey means "women").
The chbap srey instructs young girls and adult women in proper comportment—both in society and in the home. For many, this instruction is problematic. In the 2004 country report to CEDAW (the United Nations' Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women), NGOs working in Cambodia strongly criticized the chbap srey, claiming it "legitimizes discrimination against women and impedes women's full enjoyment of their human rights and the achievement of equality between men and women in Cambodian society."
Schubert is familiar with the book and agrees there are passages that seem objectionable: "Some of the advice is, 'Don't think of yourself as equal to your husband; you should serve him. If he is angry, you should go to your room and think; don't yell back.'"
However, Schubert—who has been learning Khmer for the past four years—refrains from blanket condemnation of the text. In fact, she sees some value to it. "In some contexts, this is bad advice. But there's also good advice in the chbap srey."
These mixed feelings are partly ascribed to her conversations with Cambodian women pastors and Buddhist "nuns"; these women hold leadership positions and are respected in society. These women were also raised on the text of the chbap srey (the book is often taught in school) and, as Schubert discovered, still largely embrace it.
"These women have liberal values, but they also respect traditional rules. They often think it is important to have a station and fill a role. What these women are experiencing is different than how NGOs view it," she said.
One example is the level of ordination in Theravadin Buddhist countries—such as Cambodia. Women are unable to achieve as high a level of ordination as male monks. Yet, Schubert has spoken with Cambodian Buddhist "nuns" who are happy with this system; they do want to join the institution of ordination and are happy in their separate religious sphere.
"The idea of equality is important, and it certainly seems universal to me—and pretty much to Westerners in general. But traveling to Cambodia has nuanced my view. Our norms are not universal or obvious; they are constructed values," Schubert said. "I think NGOs could improve more people's lives by understanding that. They can be more effective if they can learn how everything works together in different cultures instead of transposing their own culture onto others."
Reconciling conflicting viewpoints—how NGOs view the lives of Cambodian women and how Cambodian women view themselves—is at the heart of what Schubert hopes to do on her current trip. Schubert is doing observations, semi-structured interviews with Buddhist "nuns" and women pastors, and archival research of NGOs in that country. Through this work she hopes to introduce new ways of understanding empowerment.
"I really want to improve people's lives," she said. "But I am wary of the idea of liberation. I think we first need to address some of the presuppositions we have. Hopefully that will get us to some even deeper underpinnings of what empowerment really is."

Boobe Hole
DescriptionThe westside of the Boobe Hole Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is located at 7200 feet in the Plateau Valley. Towards the east the Unit rises to over 10,000 feet on Boobe Hole Mountain. Continuing southwest the Unit slopes down from Boobe Hole Mountain to Otter Creek, 9400 feet in the north and 8400 feet in the south. Finally, the elevation climbs up towards Hightop Plateau to about 9400 feet. The most common elevation is 7100 feet but ranges from 7000 feet to 10000 feet with an elevation difference of 3000 feet. Forty-nine percent (49%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 8000 feet and 9700 feet an elevation difference of 1700 feet.
On the Boobe Hole Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) the land cover is distributed in three (3) bands. On the the eastside of the Unit, and taking the most area, is a band of Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22). Moving towards the west, there is a narrow band of Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41). Next, there is a wider band of Colorado Plateau Pinyon-Juniper (36). Not quite a band, but the extreme west is covered with Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48). Back in the Aspen Forest and Woodland are large patches of Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62). At the interface between Aspen Forest and Woodland and Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland, are some large areas of Inter-Mountain West Aspen-Mixed Conifer Forest and Woodland Complex (38).
One of the Boobe Hole Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, KOOSHAREM (424764), is about 14.9 km southwest from the southwest edge of the CWMU. KOOSHAREM has one hundred fourteen (114) years of records, 1893 - 2008. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 2.44 inches, but it can be as high as 5.28 inches or as low as 0.58 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 15 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 8 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 1 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 4.7 inches but can be as high as 23.3 inches. FALL temperature at KOOSHAREM averages 45.0 degrees F. but can be as high as 92.0 degrees F. or as low as -17.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 60 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and no days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

About the Author: Nancy Smith-Nissley serves as Senor Outreach Coordinator with the Office of Economic Policy Analysis and Public Diplomacy in the Bureau of Economic, Energy and Business Affairs.
Yesterday we celebrated a very important anniversary. I'm talking about the 10th year of the Secretary of State's Award for Corporate Excellence(ACE).
Each year since the ACE was established in 1999, the Secretary of State presents this prestigious award to recognize U.S. businesses who are improving lives at home and abroad. Secretary Rice, as well as former secretaries Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell, has considered the ACE presentation one of the great pleasures of her duties. Even though she could not participate in this year's ceremony due to her travel, her commitment to the award set the tone for another year of highly competitive nominations. This year's finalists, as in past years, spanned the globe in their operations: from Africa to Latin America to Asia.
Under Secretary of State for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs Reuben Jeffery III announced and presented the 2008 awards in a ceremony held in the Benjamin Franklin Room of the U.S. Department of State.
The U.S. Department of State recognized two winners:
• Multi-national enterprise: Cargill in China. o Cargill is a privately held international marketer, processor and distributor of agricultural, food, financial and industrial products and services. Headquartered near Minneapolis, Minn., it employs 160,000 employees in 67 countries, with FY08 revenues of $120.4 million. Cargill has helped address some of the key challenges and needs of China by promoting sustainable rural development and partnering with local governments and development agencies so that corporate responsibility programs and projects are effective.
• Small business: SURevolution in Colombia. o SURevolution is a luxury lifestyle brand that brings together the consumer and the world of artisanal traditions. Its product line is sold in stores throughout the U.S. and Asia. In Colombia, SURevolution contributes to the peace process by teaching ex-guerilla combatants traditional crafts, helping them reintegrate into society. So far, the project has assisted more than 1,250 ex-combatants and their families.
These companies were selected from 11 finalists. The other companies nominated are:
• Dole in the Philippines
• Esso in Angola
• Google in Brazil
• Microsoft in India
• Occidental in Colombia
• Starbucks in Guatemala
• STM Telecom in Nepal
• Virtusa in Sri Lanka
• Weyerhaeuser in Uruguay
Companies are selected by an interagency senior level review team from nominations submitted by U.S. Ambassadors in-country. This year we received more than 60 nominations. Over the past ten years, all winners and nominees have been exemplary, and their activities have reflected the global trend of treating corporate social responsibility as an integral part of companies' operations. They have also contributed leading-edge strategies to the complement of CSR practices worldwide – not a year goes by without our committee examining some innovation in this area.
Each of the nominated companies has shown leadership in promoting opportunity and prosperity in their communities. Nominations are based on companies' achievements in one or more of the following areas:
• Good corporate citizenship;
• Provision of a safe and healthy workplace;
• Exemplary employment practices;
• Responsible environmental stewardship;
• Contribution to overall growth and development of the
local economy;
• Innovation;
• Implementation of activities that are compatible with local science and technology policies while contributing to the development of in-country innovative capacity;
• Compliance with U.S., international and local laws, especially regarding anti-bribery and transparency.
The ACE winners and finalists are businesses that recognize the vital role U.S. companies play globally in advancing good corporate citizenship, innovation and democratic principles. Their work draws attention to the best qualities that our nation embodies overseas: innovation, leadership and working with others to build a better and more hopeful future.
This Secretary of State's annual ACE event sends a powerful signal about the role of American business in ensuring the continuing evolution of peaceful, democratic and open societies. The winners themselves set an example for others that U.S. companies abroad can be good corporate citizens and good neighbors.
The role American companies play as responsible corporate citizens throughout the world reflects our values of generosity and integrity, and that is something of which we all can be proud.

It this truly an overall example of business in a democracy of the People or what it should be that you are showing? While it is politically good timing to render such an award, how about punishment for those who stole from the People and literally held up the Federal Government with full intent to defraud?
Simply changing nomenclature is not legally valid to not prosecute given the laws under INTENT. The insurance sold was not originally sold as risk insurance, but altered AFTER they realized they could not cover the loans some years back and loss of pension funds, etc. This action precludes any defense and consititutes FRAUD. They sold insurence that could not be backed up. There was no intent to pay if they failed. They simply reshuffled the cards from a bad deck they stacked to begin with. Legally they are not covered by any Grandfathered protection reguarding fraud. The premiss was set was it not?
States such as PA, TN, VA can arrest people who have not even crossed the register line if they attempt or are considered to attempt to HIDE an object, regardless of circumstances as too many items to hold. American citizens are to accept that if you STEAL enough money to place our country in an Economic recession and place us in an insecure National Security situation with our international allies, then it is fine? A small business owner who fails due to the economic situation that caused this is to go bankrupt, while larger firms who fail by poor design with greater intellectual pools to work with are to be bailed out?
This cannot be hidden by such a poor example of the minority of good business that play by the rules.
There are larger Christian based business owners who have done well for decades with little or no recognition as Domino's. Greco was once legally ordered to stop prayer at lunch and sued by a fired employee who did not participate and felt it was discriminatory. It was found the employee simply did not live up to any work ethic. John Wanamaker, of old Department store fame in Philadelphia, was also Christian biased and no one came to their aid when the store failed...the list goes on and frankly, it should not matter what basis of religion is involved, simply that everyone plays by the same rules. Right now Korea is upset and Kim openly made statement directed to our President elect they will NOT ALTER our trade agreements as they stand; especially where the auto industry is concerned.
What has happened to our country and would it not be better to show solutions and punishment to those who brought us to this point rather than promoting the minority who actually care?
I suggest you find a Federal Agency that will even address companies problems with the rehire of Veterans after more than one call to the aid of their country -- they cannot afford to be without someone and cannot afford to pay the difference in pay with rehire -- who helps them? Everyone on the lower end of the ladder is suffering and looks how the top who failed continue and are aided by the Government that is supposed to represent the People.
DipNote Blogger Nancy Smith-Nissley writes:
@ Joe in Tennessee -- Thank you for your interest in the Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE). This is the award's 10th year -- each year nominations are called for in April and the winners are honored at the State Department's award ceremony in November. We are pleased to have received more than 300 nominations over the past decade for companies that are leading the business community in good corporate social responsibility efforts. The award-winning companies set an example for others in business practices around the globe and are themselves examples of a long-tradition of community involvement by U.S. businesses. They are singled out for awards not because they are exceptions, but because they raise the standards that most companies, in my observation, strive to attain.
A look at this year's winners also shows how broad corporate responsibility activities have become. We were proud to recognize a multi-national enterprise company that has provided sorely-needed assistance to impoverished Chinese farmers, established partnerships to prevent the spread of disease, and contributed to earthquake relief, and we recognized a woman-owned small business that has assisted more than 1,250 ex-combatants while also preserving the artisan heritage in Columbia. We are also proud that there have been so many family-owned businesses that have won this prestigious award. In fact, the very first recipient, F.C. Schaffer and Associates won the Department's ACE in 1999 for its work in Ethiopia. Also, the family-owned business Lapa Rios in Costa Rica won in 2005, and another such business in Sambazon, won in 2006 for its work in Brazil. We look forward to see who will be recognized next year.

Microsoft Corp. may release a slimmer version of its Xbox 360 game console in 2010 to attract new customers to the platform, many analysts said. Besides introduction of slimmer version, Microsoft should also make its gaming platform more affordable in order to retain competitive advantage compared to Sony PlayStation 3.
"I think it is a question of when not if. However, the when part is a big uncertainty...rumors have been going on for a long time. I think people were asking me the same question last year at this time. As cost efficiencies allow smaller and more reliable is always a good thing. However, you also have something like Project Natal which could also tie in with hardware redesigns. In our DFC forecasts we anticipated a major redesign in 2010, so I guess that was our bet," said David Cole, an analyst with DFC Intelligence, in an interview with IndustryGamers web-site.
It is noteworthy that Microsoft did not update external design of its original Xbox console earlier this decade, meanwhile, Sony Computer Entertainment is known for redesigning of its PlayStation game systems.
"Yes, I think they will release a new look for the hardware in conjunction with the motion sensor next year," Ben Schachter, an analyst from Broadpoint AmTech.
Microsoft Xbox 360 is smaller compared to its main rival – PlayStation 3 – but it is considerably larger than Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2 slim. The new design of the slimmer PS3 may indeed attract more attention from customers, who will start buying more of them compared to the PlayStation. Still, there are analysts who do not believe in X360 slim and claim that Microsoft Natal motion-sensing game controller is the next big thing for the Xbox 360.
"I could see a model refresh with the Elite version replacing the Pro version, and maybe a price cut down to $249 to stay below the PS3 price, but don't really see a Slim version. I think Natal is the next big thing from Microsoft, and until then it will be mostly price cuts and small tweaks to the different models (bigger hard drive, various games bundled in, etc). I expect a Natal bundle to be launched with a huge marketing blitz in 2H 2010," said Todd Greenwald of Signal Hill.

Jaime Hernandez: This is my personal favorite design on a U.S. Commemorative coin.
The 1934-D Oregon Trail Half Dollar Commemorative is not the lowest mintage coin for the Oregon Trail Commemorative series. However, it is the scarcest coin in high grades of MS67 or higher. There are no MS68's for this date and mint mark, despite there being coins graded as high as MS69 in the Oregon Trail Commemorative series.
They say that a picture is worth a million words.
On the obverse of the coin, an American Indian with an envious physique is displayed holding a bow. Behind the Indian is an outlined map of the United States of America. The map displays a line of Conestoga wagons traveling the historical Oregon Trail.
The reverse of the coin displays someone (probably the father and husband of the family in the wagon) guiding two oxen towards a large and vibrant sun or the new territories in the West. On the passengers seat of the Conestoga wagon, a mother is displayed holding her baby in her lap while bravley traveling to the new lands.
The Oregon Trail Commemorative coins were produced to honor and remember the approximate 22,000 brave that traveled the 2,000 mile journey and gave up everything they had, including their lives in order to explore the new lands in the west.
This design has it all, art, beauty, talent, bravery, passion and history. This is why it is my favorite design on a U.S. Commemorative coin.
David Hall: There were 7006 1934-D Oregon Trails minted and distributed at an issue price of $2.00 per coin. Interestingly, though the 1934-D Oregon is only the 10th "rarest" of the 14 Oregons, it is one of the toughest to find in Superb Gem condition. Only the very low mintage 1939 and 1939-S are harder to find in MS66 condition, and in MS67 the 1934-D is the rarest of all Oregons.
Though rare in superb condition, when they come the come nice. The strike on a Gem is sharp and the luster is usually outstanding. For some reasons, the 1934-D is more prone to bag marks than other Oregons, hence their rarity in Superb condition.

Long-beaked common dolphin
The Long-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus capensis) is a species of common dolphin. It has a more restricted range than the Short-beaked common dolphin (D. delphis). It has a disjointed range in coastal areas in tropical and warmer temperate oceans. The range includes parts of western and southern Africa, much of western South America, central California to central Mexico, coastal Peru, areas around Japan, Korea and Taiwan, and possibly near Oman.[1][3] Vagrants have been recorded as far north as Vancouver Island.
Physical characteristics
The Long-beaked common dolphin is a medium sized dolphin, smaller than the more popular bottlenose dolphin. Adults range between 1.9 and 2.5 metres (6.2 and 8.2 ft), long, and can weigh between 80 and 235 kilograms (180 and 520 lb), although a range between 80 and 150 kilograms (180 and 330 lb) is more common.[4] Males are generally longer and heavier.[4] The color pattern on the body is unusual. The back is dark and the belly is white, while on each side is an hourglass pattern colored light grey, yellow or gold in front and dirty grey in back.[5] It has a long, thin rostrum with up to 50–60 small, sharp, interlocking teeth on each side of each jaw.[6]
The Long-beaked common dolphin is a member of common dolphin genus, Delphinus within the dolphin family, Delphinidae. Until the mid-1990s, the different forms within Delphinus were not recognized as separate species, but were all considered members of the species D. delphis.[3][4] Currently, there are two recognized species of Delphinus — the Short-beaked common dolphin (D. delphis) and the Long-beaked common dolphin.[1] The Long-beaked common dolphin is generally larger than the Short-beaked common dolphin and has a longer rostrum.
The Indo-Pacific common dolphin is sometimes considered a separate species (D. tropicalis) but is more often considered a form of the Long-beaked common dolphin.[1][3]
Long-beaked common dolphins can live in aggregations of hundreds or even thousands of dolphins.[3] They sometimes associate with other dolphin species, such as pilot whales.[3] They have also been observed bow riding on baleen whales, and they also bow ride on boats.[3] Breaching behavior and aerial acrobatics are common with this species.[4]
The Long-beaked common dolphin has a varied diet consisting of many species of fish and squid that live less than 200 metres (660 ft) deep.[3]
The Long-beaked common dolphin has a gestation period of 10 to 11 months.[4] The newborn calf has a length of between 80 and 100 centimetres (2.6 and 3.3 ft) and a weight of about 10 kilograms (22 lb).[4] Typical interbirth interval ranges from 1 to 3 years.[4] In captivity, the Long-beaked common dolphin has hybridized with the Common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus).[3][7] One of the hybrids has been bred back to a bottlenose dolphin, demonstrating that such hybrids are fertile.[7]
The Long-beaked common dolphin is covered by the Memorandum of Understanding Concerning the Conservation of the Manatee and Small Cetaceans of Western Africa and Macaronesia[8] and the Memorandum of Understanding for the Conservation of Cetaceans and Their Habitats in the Pacific Islands Region (Pacific Cetaceans MoU).[9]

About the Author: Paul Bouey serves as the U.S. Global AIDS Deputy Coordinator.
Last week, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) convened the inaugural meeting of the PEPFAR Scientific Advisory Board in Washington, DC. The Advisory Board is chartered by the Department of State as an external advisory group to Ambassador Goosby, the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, to help PEPFAR become more efficient and effective in our mission to save lives. Specifically, members of the Board are tasked with providing insight on the latest developments in HIV science and research and advising as to how PEPFAR can use this information to plan for the future. The Board's input will also help to feed into the broader research agenda of the Global Health Initiative. The Board is composed of 48 leaders in global health, many of whom have devoted their careers to ending HIV/AIDS. Members come from a variety of sectors, representing civil society, government, the private sector, and academia.
The insight and recommendations from the Advisory Board are critical to the future direction of PEPFAR. As PEPFAR transitions from emergency response to sustainable country-led programs, we are committed to improving our efforts to contribute to the evidence base around HIV interventions, as well as broader health systems strengthening and integration. The Board will play a key role in helping the U.S. government achieve this goal, and it serves as an important forum to help us build on the successes to date in the fight against global AIDS.
Over the course of two days, the Advisory Board laid the foundation for future discussions focusing on PEPFAR's role in framing research priorities, as well as how we bridge the divide between treatment and prevention. In order to track our progress in the fight against global AIDS, the U.S. government and the Board also discussed improving the way we collect and share data for research across programs.
The discussion came in the wake of promising new developments in HIV prevention research, which fueled the group's enthusiasm for future research efforts. The PEPFAR-supported CAPRISA trial demonstrated that microbicides could help prevent the transmission of HIV to women. Equally promising, the iPrEX study indicated that antiretroviral drugs could be used to lower the risk of infection if taken prior to exposure to the virus. These discoveries, along with the support shown for our work, have inspired hope in the scientific community, and we anticipate ongoing conversations with the Board to build on the progress made in our shared goal to eliminate global AIDS.

Hip-hop mogul Rev Run continues push for Type 2 diabetes awareness.
Joseph Lloyd Simmons�better known as Rev Run of the iconic 1980s hip-hop trio Run-D.M.C.�has a way with words. Widely considered one of the pioneers of the rap genre, Rev has touched millions of people worldwide through his music, spiritual teachings, written works and television endeavors. Now, the hip-hop legend is using his words to raise awareness about a new cause: diabetes awareness. As one of the lead vocalists of Run-D.M.C., Rev enjoyed an illustrious musical career spanning almost three decades. In 2004, not long after Run-D.M.C. disbanded, Rev found a deeper calling in religion and became ordained as a Pentecostal minister. Re-emerging to the world as �Reverend Run,� the rap mogul harnessed his celebrity presence to spread spiritual teachings to fans news and old. He also disseminates daily words of wisdom and religious insights to his four million Twitter followers. Health, however, is a subject that wasn't on Run�s radar until recently. After learning that family history was a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes, Rev, who had watched his father struggle with the disease, was determined to take matters in his own hands and adopt a more proactive approach to diabetes prevention. Along with wife Justine Simmons, Rev Run has partnered with healthcare giant Novo Nordisk to launch Ask.Screen.Know, a campaign aimed at educating at-risk individuals about the benefits of early diabetes detection and screening. We recently sat down with the rap mogul and his wife Justine to chat about everything from diabetes-fighting tip to happy marriage secrets to their favorite workout tunes. Spry Living: Rev, when did you really start to be proactive about diabetes prevention? Did you have a �wakeup call�? Rev: One day, my manager came to me and told me that there was an opportunity for me to spread my wisdom, this time about health. He said that Novo Nordisk wanted to partner together for a diabetes awareness campaign.� Not long after that, I learned that having a family history of diabetes was a risk factor. My dad had Type 2 diabetes, so I knew I was at risk. I also had two other risk factors: being African-American and being over the age of 45. Ever since then, I�ve been on fire to talk to people about this cause. I took it as a sign from heaven that it was time for me to talk about to people about this issue. Another sign was that World Diabetes Day happens to be my birthday. There were just too many signs. Now, I�m on a mission to teach people about their diabetes risk factors and keep them healthy, wealthy and wise. Spry Living: Was health always a priority of yours, or did you have to make some significant changes? Rev: Living healthy has definitely been more of a recent effort. I've done a lot of public speaking and I�ve given people tips about a broad range of issues, but my attention has never been health-oriented. And, the next thing you know, I�m telling people that health is the first wealth. As I�ve learned more about diabetes, it�s put me in a position where I can help others, and help myself. It�s been really rewarding watching my body change�I�ve taken off a couple of pounds, and I�m just more focused on my health. I�m preaching to the choir. Justine: Our eating habits have changed drastically. Before, it was all about opening a can, but now we eat more fruits and fresh vegetables. It�s a family effort. Our son Daniel is really involved; our daughter Miley will ask for spinach in her egg whites. These things are mind-blowing for me to see, but I�m so proud. I know that diabetes can either be prevented or controlled, so I want to stop the cycle in our family so that we are diabetes-free for generations. Spry Living: What are some of the ways you are taking steps to live healthier as a couple? Rev: It�s all about the little changes. When I get a sweet tooth, for example, I�ll chop up an apple. I swapped egg for egg whites and regular bacon for turkey bacon. Instead of drinking sugary drinks�fruit punch or soda�I�ll have a diet soda. Little tweaks like that make me feel good, because I know I�m setting myself up for success. �If you don�t set up, you�ll be upset��that�s one of my mantras. Justine: I�m 48�I�ll be 49 this year�and I just discovered last week that I love Brussels sprouts. I thought I would never eat Brussels sprouts! And now I�m addicted. This whole diabetes campaign has taught me that living healthfully is extremely rewarding, and I want to teach others that, too. Spry Living: Do you you feel better? Rev: Yes. I have more energy. I feel more focused. I have a lot of support from fans and family, which is helping me stay on track. Justine: It�s amazing how much your energy increases when you move your body. It sounds counterintuitive, but it�s true. The more you do something, the more you�ll want to do something. The more you eat healthy, the more you�ll want to eat healthy; the more you exercise, the more you'll want to exercise. It�s that simple. Spry Living: Rev, you are quite public on social media about your love for Justine, and I have to say it�s quite refreshing to see a celebrity couple so in love. What is your secret to a happy marriage? Rev: For me, it�s all about having a lot of gratitude. The more I post pictures of my wife and express my admiration for her on social media, the more I realize how lucky I am. I look at the comments and realize how many people out there don�t have true love. A lot of comments are like, �Man, I wish I had that.� It pushes me further along the path toward gratitude. Justine: And we work on it. We definitely work on it. Spry Living: So, I�ve got to ask, Rev�as a musician, do you work out to your own music?� Rev: I listen to a lot of Jay-Z. I love his new album, especially the song that he made with Justin Timberlake about fame. I'll also listen to some Gospel music, some electronic music, a little bit of Calvin Harris�his music is really energetic. What about you, Justine? Do you listen to Run-D.M.C. when you�re exercising? Justine: [Laughs] No, not when I�m working out. I usually walk for exercise, so I don�t listen to music when I'm walking. I like the silence. If you visit Ask.Screen.Know.com and take the Diabetes Risk Factor Assessment, you'll be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip to meet Rev Run and Justine at their house and enjoy a 1-night stay in New York City.

Topic: a question about TCPSockets - is this possible?
i am trying to make a database that i can use together with the animation software maya. maya has a feature where you can activate a "commandport", and maya will then listen to the port, and use the input as a command.
my idea was to make a site where the user could click a button, and server would send the mel command to the users "commandport" socket. i found a code example for ruby and sockets, but the problem is that the command gets send to the servers socket, and i would like it to get send to the clients instead.
my code so far looks like this:
def send_mel
# Ruby code
require 'socket'
maya = TCPSocket.open('localhost', 1181)
# send a command
results = maya.recv(4096)
flash[:notice] = "maya output: ", results
redirect_to :back
this creates a "sphere" on the server, but i would really like it send the command to the user instead, is this possible to do?

PRINCESS ANNE, MD-(March 11, 2011)Drama Society and Hotel and Restaurant Management students will shine on April 15 and 16 as they present "The Color Purple" for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Spring Dinner Theater.
Tickets are now on sale.
The first seating for the buffet dinner begins at 6 p.m. with curtain time at 8 p.m. in the Student Services Center ballroom. Audience members can please their palate beginning with a spread of gourmet appetizers followed by dinner—all catered by the students and faculty of the HRM Program at UMES. Dessert is served at intermission.
"Dinner Theater gives our seniors an opportunity to manage the food production and presentation of an expansive buffet, which adds to their overall academic experience," Dr. Ernest Boger, chair of the HRM Program at UMES said. "Throughout the year, other groups of our students prepare and serve plated dinners at events such as the fall dinner series, the spring luncheons and the recent UMES Gala."
Dr. Della Dameron-Johnson, director of the UMES Drama Society said the plays often originate from scripts written at UMES, but the group wanted to do something different this year—something familiar to the audience.
"We feel like we now have a talent pool from the campus and our community volunteers to pull it off," Dameron-Johnson said.
The musical version of "The Color Purple" being performed has pieces Dameron-Johnson said ranging from "juke joint to the gospel idiom with plenty in between."
Ticket prices are $45 for Fri., April 15, and $50 for Sat., April 16. Call 410-651-6230 to purchase tickets or for more information.

Arendal, 1 April 2004 - A series of unique graphics on the Arctic are now available online on a new web site for the Vital Arctic Graphics. The graphics outlines key issues in climate change, pollution, and development of the Arctic, paying special attention to human environment interactions, and specifically highlighting the perspectives of Arctic indigenous peoples.
With a combination of illustrations and case studies, this web site highlights the major environmental and sustainable development issues in the Arctic. These include worrying levels of persistant organic and heavy metal pollutants, the rapid pace of climate change in the region, and the impacts of unsustainable resource development. In cooperation with the SnowChange project, GRID-Arendal is seeking particularly to highlight the perspectives of the indigenous peoples who have lived sustainably in the Arctic for thousands of years, and who are now faced with massive environmental change.
The web site is currently under development, and the graphics presented here subject to review by the Vital Arctic Graphics Advisory Board, a group with representation from the Arctic indigenous peoples' organizations, and experts on social and environmental issues.

When you want to create a high performance rugby team you need to look at the team assets and individual strengths of players. Piecing together the optimum position for the players is one of the great teambuilding activities of the coach and his players.
I think a lot of rugby coaches underestimate the motivational power that will develop when you start working with the players and discussing where their competence's will benefit the team the most.
With these rugby players specific pages I hope to identify the main tasks that come along with the position. A great teambuilding activity would be to let the team match their individual skills with the positions.
Definition is one, to agree with these tasks is important, performing the tasks is the third thing. Doing all three with all the players in the team is an elementary step to a successful team !
Good luck in developing your team spirit!
General issues on the Back Row players
The Back Row Players are also called Loose Forwards or Third Row Players. The three back row positions have special requirements, but also some in common like speed, mobility, ball skills, accuracy, aggression on attack and defence and they must blend together as a 'unit'. At least one of the three must have 'height' for line out possession at the rear.
The backrow is the oil in the team: be there at the right time to keep the momentum of attack going (keeping the team in ball possession, pick up and run, pick and pass or chip). Do the dirty work in defence. The back-row should focus on the quick burst through the gap: lateral movement, explosive steps, agility., or hitting the defensive line at speed. Look at my SAQ pages to improve your running technique.
Most people will hardly recognise the value of a good No. 8 player untill in the game he is not there.....
Number Eight is a powerful scrummager and a strong runner who can surge off the back of the scrum and break the line of defence. A whole list of things:
- Channel the ball
- Protect the ball for the Scrum Half
- Efficient control of the ball at the base of the scrum by hand or foot
- Clear the ball: pick and break away to the right looking to link with Fly Half or Scrum Half on the outside or Flanker on inside.
- Clear the ball: pick and break left combining with the Blind Side Flanker
- Dynamic running with aggression to get over the gain line and skills to 'distribute' the ball.
I have a special page on the scrum.
Open play: offence
The Open Side Flanker should comfortable with the ball in hand when first in support of the ball carrier. His decision making skills are key: pick&go, pop pass, go over and protect the ball, wipe opposition player from the breakdown, ... He must 'read' the opposition backline, communicate with his own backline and be accurate in lines of running.
All the skills of the other two back row players but must have the ability both to go to ground to control the ball and to stay on his feet to continue the attack. Work with the other loosies and knowing what the backs are doing to get the right lines to get to the breakdown.
Support the ball carrier and carry on the attack. Do whatever it takes to win the ball!
Number Eight is an efficient defender, speed to get back and cover as well as confidence in relieving pressure from backs by taking the 'highball'.
Stop the drive from a opposition backrow move, tackle low to prevent the ball carrier to set up a maul. The back-row players should discuss the responsiblities in tackling opposite numbers: example:
- #6 takes ball-carrier
- #8 takes second ball carrier
- #9 takes third ball carrier
- Running lines from scrum or line-out into open play is difficult but the No. 8 should provide a cover in depth or just join the tacklers / markers next to the ruck/maul.
Key issues
- Aggression, go forward and a strong "will to succeed".
My favorite number eight of the RWC 2011
On player, easy choice: Imanol Harinordoquy. The complete package.
