If you have noticed that your AV scans are running slower than normal, most likely, the culprit is disk fragmentation (where files are broken up and scattered across your hard drive). Disk fragmentation can have a severe impact on the speed and performance of anti-virus and anti-spyware scan speeds. The basic principle is that the greater the degree of fragmentation, the worse your computer will perform. This holds true for anti-virus applications just as it would for any user interaction with a fragmented computer. With virus attacks rippling through the Internet, the importance of fast virus scan capabilities should go without saying. Yet, if your PC is riddled with fragmentation, your AV scans will take significantly longer to run, leaving you more susceptible to new virus attacks as they emerge. If a defrag is not run regularly, your PC will build up a significant level of fragmentation. This constant accumulation of fragmentation causes slow AV scans that get progressively slower over time.
Read more about Diskeeper for faster anti-virus scan »
Many factors will have an impact on the speed of a complete anti-virus scan of your hard drive. The way the scanner works, the total number of files that need to be scanned, the size of the files, and the fragmentation level of the disk all have a direct impact on the length of the AV scan process. An anti-virus software will have to scan all the fragments of files which increases the time required to do your AV scans. The easiest way to increase the speed of your AV scans is to eliminate the fragmented files on your PC. This can be accomplished through defrag (to handle existing fragmentation) and prevention (to stop future fragmentation before it happens). Diskeeper® performance software offers a simple solution that is designed to do just this, automatically and seamlessly in the background. Typical performance loss for AV scans without Diskeeper is about 28%. "Diskeeper shaves off 10 minutes from a 40–minute scan of about a TB."
As the capacity to quickly respond to new anti-virus attacks grows, so does the importance of having a solution that allows for fast anti-virus scans. The overall security of your PC data relies heavily on your anti-virus software's ability to quickly and efficiently do its job. Diskeeper does more than just defrag (put your scattered files back together) your PC. Diskeeper takes performance to the next level by preventing the majority of the fragmentation that would otherwise cause increasingly slower AV scans, application launch speeds, file access, boot-up, backup and more. Try Diskeeper for yourself and see how much faster your AV scans and overall PC speed and performance becomes.

POMEROY — The Meigs County Sheriff's Office responded to a call on Tuesday evening involving a man holding a gun to the head of another.
According to a news release from Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood, a call was received at 6:23 p.m. from a resident on Bradbury Road. The caller — who is a family member of the suspect according to the Sheriff — stated that a man had held a gun to his head and then tried to shoot him in the leg. The suspect then fled the residence.
Homer Grim, 46, of Bradbury Road was found at the residence with a gun when Wood and Sergeant Bill Gilkey arrived on scene.
Grim was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Meigs County Jail.
According to the Meigs County Court website Grim is being charged with felonious assault, weapons under disability, aggravated menacing and domestic violence.
Wood stated that there were others in the home at the time of the incident, and he was relieved that no one was injured.

Hey friend, could you provide us a wikipedia URL with a good description of this protected area?
Please, be sure that you are suggesting an english language wikipedia URL (http://en.wiki....)

Sinharaja Forest Reserve is a national park and a biodiversity hotspot in Sri Lanka. It is of international significance and has been designated a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The hilly virgin rainforest, part of the Sri Lanka lowland rain forests ecoregion, was saved from the worst of commercial logging by its inaccessibility, and was designated a World Biosphere Reserve in 1978 and a World Heritage Site in 1988. The reserve's name translates as Kingdom of the Lion.
The reserve is only 21 km (13 mi) from east to west, and a maximum of 7 km (4.3 mi) from north to south, but it is a treasure trove of endemic species, including trees, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
Because of the dense vegetation, wildlife is not as easily seen as at dry-zone national parks such as Yala. There are about 3 elephants and the 15 or so leopards are rarely seen. The commonest larger mammal is the endemic Purple-faced Langur.
An interesting phenomenon is that birds tend to move in mixed feeding flocks, invariably led by the fearless Greater Racket-tailed Drongo and the noisy Orange-billed Babbler. Of Sri Lanka's 26 endemic birds, the 20 rainforest species all occur here, including the elusive Red-faced Malkoha, Green-billed Coucal and Sri Lanka Blue Magpie.
Reptiles include the endemic Green pit viper and Hump-nosed vipers, and there are a large variety of amphibians, especially tree frogs. Invertebrates include the endemic Common Birdwing butterfly and the inevitable leeches.

Ricky Lauren Whips Up Scrumptious Family-Friendly Eats with New Cookbook
When Ricky Lauren releases a Hamptons-themed cookbook, you better believe billionaires and celebs show up. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Martha Stewart, Joe Scarborough, David Lauren and wife Lauren Bush Lauren and Charlie Rose invaded the palatial and lavish Ralph Lauren flagship boutique on Madison Avenue on Tuesday, May 22 for the launch. Co-hosting hubby Ralph Lauren was there to show his support, while Ms. Lauren signed copies of the hardback, The Hamptons: Food, Family and History.
Ms. Lauren based the book on her love of fine food and the memories of raising her family out East in The Hamptons. It's a glossy brimming with family fun recipes ideal for summer meals, both intricate and low-key. There are dozens of dishes targeted towards kids, but that won't leave grownups disappointed either. The coffee table book is available officially at the Ralph Lauren boutique or online ($40). Read More

Blizzard Doesn't Keep Post-Christmas Shoppers From Sales
Share your photos of the Blizzard of 2012
Not even a Blizzard Warning could keep people from hitting the stores and restaurants around Westlake on Wednesday. Were you out today, or did you stay in? Share your blizzard photos here. Click the "Upload photos and videos" button. Around 1 p.m., BSpot in Crocker Park was almost full. Nick Brown of Dayton and Lauren Bartolozzi of Athens were two of the people who braved the snow to come out to Crocker Park. They were staying with Bartolozzi's mother in Cleveland's West Park neighborhood for Christmas. "We were supposed to go down to Athens today," Bartolozzi said as they sat at the bar at B Spot. "But with the storm, we decided to stay. So we came out so I could get some new shoes, and have lunch." Brown said they'd probably be heading …

These gloves are a nice practical glove, that I purchased for school but the were light for summer showing. They do not seem as durable as comparable gloves, but these are the first pair to not come unstitched at the finger tips. Overall well worth it.
Written on by Katie J.Very functional and comfortable gloves for daily riding. The wrist snap has two settings, which I like. I have only been riding in them for a couple weeks but so far I'm happy with the quality.

The senses are like fire. Your life is also like fire. In the fire of senses, whatever you put in burns. If you burn tires, it creates pollution and bad smell. But if you burn sandalwood, it creates fragrance.
Celebration happens around the bonfire. Grief happens around the fire of cremation. The same fire that supports life in winter, can also destroy. One fire, like a ghee lamp, lights your way and purifies. Another fire made of toxic material creates pollution.
You are also like fire. Are you the fire that creates smoke and pollution or the flame of camphor which creates light and fragrance? A saint is like a camphor flame that creates light and the fragrance of love. He is the friend of life.
The fire that creates light and warmth and is useful is of higher quality. The fire that creates light and a little smoke as well is of medium quality. The fire that creates darkness and only smoke is of low quality. Learn to distinguish the different fires. If your senses are engaged in goodness, then you will create light and fragrance. If engaged in impurity, you create smoke and darkness. It is samyama that transforms the quality of fire in you. Next week we will discuss samyama.

150 readings. Have benign tremors, so actually use 200. out of pocket.
I just downloaded my daughters pump info. last night. We had tested 748 times for April & May. So we check about 374 times a month. Poor little fingers.
My insurance company recently started not only restricting the meter and strips to only the Abbott Freestyle Lite, but also to a limit of 206 strips per month. My endo got me authorized for 250 a month, but I have hypoglycemic unawareness so I tend to test more often anyway.
I test about 250-300 times a month. Quite a lot of the time I do less. I get loads more though, off the NHS
Me 200 per month. my finders and body can't take more than that.
about 200 times a month. uggh!
socialized medicine pays for 90 a month, i love target for cheap strips.
Last month I used 375 but over the last 3 months I have used 1200 or 400 per month on average. I am still learning carb counting and not yet super sure about what I am doing. My insurance company limits to 204 per month unless you have prior authorization which I do have for 300 strips a month, but the CDE at the clinic is trying to get it increased to 12 per day or 1080 in 90 days, if she can then they'll send 1100 because they come in boxes of 50. I would much rather pay $ 60 for 1100 strips than $ 60.00 for 900 strips, or $ 60 for 750 strips which is what the idiot endo wrote the last rx for.

High school girls basketball: Mayfield ends Lake Catholic's five-game winning streak (with video)
Mayfield put an end to Lake Catholic's longest winning streak of the season Wednesday night.
The Wildcats played with heart and intensity, which the Cougars lacked, in a 57-46 decision between two ranked teams in the Top of the Crop.
"Mayfield just came to win, and I don't think we had the mental preparation that we normally do," Lake Catholic coach Stephen Eppich said. "For whatever reason, that lacked tonight and it showed. I told the girls to find what it was and go back to what we were doing on our five-game winning streak."
With the win, the Division I Wildcats, ranked No. 7 in this week's Crop, improved to 11-6. The Division II Cougars, who were ranked No. 3 in the Crop, slipped to 9-9.
"We are going to run into a lot of good guards and that's exactly what they had," Eppich said. "We were hoping they would have an off night and we would have a chance in the fourth quarter to get the victory, but they did exactly what they needed to do."
The guard play of juniors Halle Rubino and Shannon Zajec set the tone early for the Wildcats.
The Cougars took a 5-4 lead at the start of the first quarter on a driving layup by Katlyn Spahar, but it proved to be their last. The Wildcats closed the quarter with an 8-0 run, led by Rubino, who had a driving layup and two assists. Zajec added back-to-back jumpers and Madison Snider capitalized on a shot following a technical foul on Eppich.
The Cougars totaled 11 turnovers in the first quarter and shot just 2 of 8 from the field. The Wildcats limited their turnovers to three and shot 6 of 14 from the field.
"We are in first place in our conference and we have a big game coming up on Saturday, so I told the girls this was their tune-up," said Mayfield coach Tony Ware, whose team hosts North Royalton on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. "I told them to play awesome defense and boy were they sick tonight. We just shut them down." Continued...
The Cougars outscored the Wildcats, 15-13, in the second quarter, but still trailed 25-20 at halftime.
The Wildcats pulled away toward the end of the third quarter when they went on a 12-0 run. Zajec sparked her team with a 3-pointer. Snider added a three-point play and Rubino, who was playing with three fouls, made a steal and a layup.
"This game was a milestone for us," Zajec said. "Lake has beaten a lot of good teams and they are ranked. So if we can beat a ranked team, I think we will go far in districts."
Zajec and Rubino finished with 14 points apiece. Jillian Gibson had a team-high 18 for the Cougars. Spahar, who averages 18.2 points per game, finished with 11.
"We play with a lot of heart, that is what we are known for," Zajec said. "Our defense wins games. Our intensity shows that we are a good team and if we can just make those shots and get down the court, we could really be good."

Morris Habitat for Humanity is working with other local organizations to help those in need after the recent storms. Stories of tragedies and losses from Hurricane Sandy and the subsequent Nor'easter will be heard for years to come, even from those who thought they were well prepared for any type of disaster. Neighborhood by neighborhood, town by town and throughout the region people are coming together to lend a hand. Morris Habitat has developed a Quick Response Program to help during this difficult time.
Morris Habitat has reached out to American Red Cross, the United Way of Northern New Jersey, the Salvation Army and the Interfaith Food Pantry to coordinate efforts and become a drop off point for in-kind donations that will be brought to individuals and families both in and around Morris County, as well as across the State and into New York. Some of the items being collected are nonperishable food items, canned soups, baby items (no formula), personal hygiene items, new clothing such as coats, gloves and sweaters and blankets. A full list of items can be found on the Habitat website at www.morrishabitat.org. Donations can be brought to the Morris Habitat Office at274 South Salem Street in Randolph (just off Route 10 across from the Kmart Plaza). The office entrance is located on the right end of the building. The ReStore is located in the front of the building. The ReStore is open Wednesday-Friday 10-6, Saturday 10-5, and Sunday 10-5.
Morris Habitat has always been a beacon of hope for families looking to get a hand up to homeownership and out of inadequate housing. However, now more than ever, our most vulnerable citizens are looking for help. Through our Reconstruction Program, Morris Habitat has helped dozens of the area's lower income homeowners including seniors, veterans, disabled and others in desperate need of home repairs---so they too, can live in safe and decent homes.
For local families recovering from the storm damage, Morris Habitat ReStore, is an excellent resource for much needed building supplies and materials as well as gently used furniture and appliances at incredibly low prices. For families looking at huge reparation costs, the store offers great bargains on a large variety of items from paint to windows and more.
Many local charitable organizations in and around Morris County are coming together to work united to help their communities recover. Morris Habitat is no exception, working with our Habitat affiliates and other charities around New York and New Jersey to offer volunteers, materials and other critical services and resources to support each other through this critical time.
For more information about our efforts or to print out the list of items we are collecting, please visit our website at www.morrishabitat.org or call us at 973-891-1934.

AT&T Center, Austin, TX
Graduate student teams from top schools compete for highest honors and cash awards in a real estate case competition. They will provide a 20-minute case presentation to a judging panel of real estate professionals. The 2012 participating schools were Berkeley, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Darden/UVA, Duke, Georgetown, Kellogg/NYU, McCombs/UT, Michigan, NYU, UCLA, UNC-Chapel Hill, USC, Vanderbilt and Wharton.
Each school may enter one team of up to six currently enrolled graduate students. During the week of the competition, each team receives the case by email at a set time, just days prior to the competition event, and must prepare a 20-minute presentation on the case. The competition takes place at the University of Texas at Austin, and it's judged by accredited real estate professionals from nationally recognized companies. All travel and accommodation expenses are the sole responsibility of each participant.
The case is custom-written and provided by a private real estate investment institution. Student teams will evaluate an investment opportunity, focusing on myriad issues surrounding the acquisition, financing and tenanting of the property. Representatives of the case-providing institution will present a retrospective on the actual investment and its performance following the completion of the competition.

Living Room Love: A New Mantel?
March 17, 2011When we first moved into our home we fell in love with the large living room space and the beautiful arched ceilings.
We were also thrilled to finally have a fireplace! A fireplace of our very own.
High on our priority list was tearing down the white brick to reveal (hopefully) the original Spanish-style fireplace within. Well… two and a half years later that big fireplace reveal has moved quite a ways down the list.
The mantel decor has seen a few changes over the past two years, but here's a look at in-progress photos from 2010:
Remember the big mirror or photo collage debate? Here's a shot of the mirror option.
So while the fireplace is now low on the re-do totem pole, I'd still love to give it a quick, attractive update before it gets its big makeover somewhere down the line.
My initial thought was a simple, sleek beam that would grace the top of the fireplace and sit like one large block right on the existing brick mantel. Something like these photos:
It might even function like a hollow wooden box that sits on the top row of bricks with all of the edges mitered to create a seamless look. Easy, right? A little staining and a new mantel? We'll see. I'm off to share my idea with a carpenter friend to see what the options (and cost) might be.
More living room posts: bookshelf styling tips, decorating in layers: stage 1, inspiration boards, picking the perfect couch, custom lampshade, coffee table-to-ottoman, and the 'before' photos.
Finally, I'm headed to New Orleans this weekend! Any suggestions?

Oh yes that mantel is fab!
I think the mantle would be absolutely perfect for your fireplace. I hope it works out with the carpenter.
I'm so soooorry I haven't been here for AGES! I was always thinking about you and your baby. The last time I was here you were pregnant still.
I saw some pictures of your adorable baby girl. God, she's pretty! I'm truly happy for you!
I hope you enjoy New Orleans.
Have a great weekend!
Luciane at HomeBunch.com
I'm a fan of the clean lines of the second one or am I the only one that thinks the first beam looks kind of beat up…I think what might also be getting me is that the second option is also lower on the fireplace…You have fantastic style, so whatever you do will no doubt be gorgeous!
We have a fireplace similar to your minus the brick and this is what we did. We bought a 4×4 that was about 6 ft long, beat it to make it look more "rustic and spanish-ie" and then stained it a dark brown. We drilled 3 holes in the back and basically screwed it into the wall. It was the cheapest and easiest way for us to get a mantle!!
Good luck. I love that you have a spanish style house. Not a lot of blogs have that sort of style so it's nice to see someone who does for inspiration!!!

Ratings & Reviews
I have successfully bought and sold real estate in the past, without a real estate broker, and I was skeptical about hiring a broker to sell mom's house. It was not feasible for me to sell the property myself since I was not local. When I met with Tom Carroll I knew he was a "straight shooter" who had the knowledge and would put in the effort to sell the property. My concerns about hiring a broker were quickly alleviated.
Tom did an excellent job and I would recommend him highly to anyone buying or selling real estate in the Andovers and the surrounding area.…MoreLess

I had left my power adapter in my living room, it's one with the switch where the voltage can be changed. I always leave it on 3v for my GP2X, but someone changed it. I plugged it in to my GP2X, not aware the setting had been changed to 12v, and switched on. BOOM. Well, not so much boom; the LED flashed and now nothing works. No power whatsoever. Batteries don't work either.
I have an F-200 with firmware 4.0.0. I bought it in February of this year.
I'm very upset because i have been realising the GP2X's value as it had occupied me on several long journeys recently. I only just fixed my FBA2X ROM problem minutes before. Plus, im going on holiday for a fortnight; now my plans to complete Star Control 2 are ruined!
I realise this may not be fixable, after all, the whole circuitry could be fried. But perhaps its simply a fuse or capacitor that has blown, and can be replaced.
Has anyone else ran too high a voltage through their machine? Anyone have any idea how my beautiful GP2X could be resuscitated?
I'm not an expert in electronics, but if the problem can be identified, i can take it to a shop and have them look at it, to see if they can fix it. I doubt they will ever have encountered a GP2X before!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, i'm very desperate!
4 years on, I'm now in my 3rd year of Electronic Engineering and I feel ready to attempt breathing some life into the old boy. Previously I sent it to a guy in Holland who was unsuccesful in repairs: he suggested buying a new MAXsomethingOrOther voltage regulator and soldering it on. It's been sitting for years in my cupboard collecting dust, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone has experience with a similar problem. Do you reckon I could purchase the replacement part and fit it by hand? Alternatively, if anyone has the expertise and know how(I'm not the best with a soldering iron) I will pay handsomely for the service.
I have a 4GB card packed to the brim with quality games and emulators, plus I assume much improved software is now available. I'd love to get it up and running for some old school action on the move, so any advice will help!

The new year may be fully under way, but its not too late for some resolutions that could make it easier for foreign in-house lawyers to work in the U.S. The American Bar Associations Commission on Ethics 20/20 has already suggested numerous changes to its Model Rules of Professional Conduct to address advances in technology and the increasing globalization of law practice. Now several new resolutions deal specifically with foreign in-house lawyers.
One proposal would amend the rules on pro hac vice (for this time only) admissions to allow judges to authorize foreign lawyers to appear before U.S. courts and agencies on pending matters, subject to some limitations.
The commissions proposals are designed to insure that corporate clients have access to their choice of counsel, and are able to use the lawyers who are most able to help them in a particular case or matter, explained Andrew Perlman, a corporate law professor at Suffolk University Law School in Boston.
Perlman, who serves as chief reporter for the commission, is also a member of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Courts standing advisory committee on the rules of professional conduct.
The second proposed rule change would authorize foreign lawyers to serve as in-house counsel from an office within the U.S. when they are serving only their corporate client.
Perlman explained that this change would allow U.S. companies with foreign affiliates, or foreign-based companies with U.S. offices, to bring foreign lawyers here for a limited time.
The commission report said, These companies routinely encounter legal issues that implicate foreign or international law and want the advice of trusted lawyers from other jurisdictions. [They] often find that this advice can be offered most efficiently and effectively if those lawyers relocate to a corporate office in the U.S.
A corresponding proposal amends the rule related to registration of in-house counsel, adding foreign in-house lawyers to those eligible to register. Under the model rules, which most states adopt, in-house counsel are required to register with the state bar in the jurisdictions where they work.
A fourth proposed changenot specifically for in-house counseldeals with choice of law issues arising out of conflicts of interest. It allows lawyers and their clients to specify up front the jurisdiction where the predominant work will occur. This in turn will help judges determine what jurisdictions law to apply to any related case, Perlman said.
He added that this change will be of interest to general counsel, because outside law firms may increasingly ask in-house counsel to agree to these kinds of provisions at the outset of the relationship.
The Association of Corporate Counsel didnt immediately comment on the proposals, but the group has previously urged the ABA to make its model rules more flexible for in-house counsel.
The Ethics 20/20 Commission was created in mid-2009 to address changes in the way law is practiced around the world. It has successfully passed several previous resolutions.
The proposed resolutions will be presented to the ABAs governing body, the House of Delegates, at the groups mid-year meeting in Dallas in early February.

Product Backstory
Fearless, steadfast and lovely beyond description, Arwen Evenstar was the Daughter of Elrond Half-Elven and granddaughter of Lady Galadriel of Lorien. She was the direct descendent and the living likeness of Luthien Tenuviel, considered to be fairest of all Elvenkind. Like Luthien, Arwen gave her heart to a mortal man, Aragorn, knowing that to do so would cost her own eternal life. A skilled warrior in her own right, Arwen rescued Frodo from the Ringwraiths and took him to Rivendell where her father could heal him.It was Arwen's unwavering love that gave Aragorn the strength to go on when he doubted his own destiny to help Frodo destroy The One Ring and be crowned King of Arnor and Gondor. After Sauron's defeat, Aragorn indeed became king with Arwen his queen.

Eurocopter España, S.A.
Eurocopter España performs activities related to the design, installation and maintenance of helicopters, as well as other logistical support, that doesn't require any material processing. The staff consists of approximately 500 employees who work in different buildings that make up the factory: the assembly hangars, the offices and repair areas.
We will apply a Mobility and Road Safety Plan that will allow us to learn, through surveys and assessments, what our travel habits are, and from there on, to implement the corresponding measures.
There will be national focus on the actions for the employees of Eurocopter España.
The indicators to be used will be drawn from the survey (accidents suffered, no. of kilometres, means of transportation, safe behaviour etc.).
Starting from there, preventive measures will be raised for the purposes of improving safety, such as:
- Awareness-raising: disseminating awareness videos for driving in adverse weather conditions, passive safety systems, active safety systems and vehicle maintenance, three-page road safety leaflets, awareness-raising posters.
- Improvement of vehicles: starting from risk assessment, improve rear-view mirrors (eliminating blind spots), preventive maintenance.
- Training for drivers: aimed at the positions of company drivers – retraining on safety regulations, on extreme driving; consideration will be given to offering these courses to other employees while taking advantage of the agreements with training organizations. During the 3 years of duration of the plan, the expected duration of the course is 24 hours in the case of the drivers.
In order to carry out the actions of the Mobility and Road Safety Plan, it has been agreed with the corresponding trade union representatives that a Working Group will be set up, which will be informed of the implementation and progress of the Plan.
The key factors will be the participation of the workers in the provision of data and the availability of means in order to implement the corresponding measures.
The actions will take place over the next 3 years.

As I write this my city Delhi is drowning. It started raining early this morning and within a few hours the city has come to a standstill. The television is showing scenes of traffic snarled up for hours, roads waterlogged and people and vehicles sunk deep in water and muck. The meteorological department records that some 60 mm of rain has fallen in just about 6 hours; 90 mm in 24 hours; and with this the city has made up for its deficit of rainfall this season. In other words, in just about 24 hours Delhi and its surrounding areas got half as much rain as they would in the entire month of September. Delhi, like all growing cities of India, is mindless about drainage. Storm water drains are either clogged or do not exist. Our lakes and ponds have been eaten away by real estate. Land is what the city values, not water. So when it rains more than it should the city drowns.
There is one being-Indian-thing, which spans the urban-rural and the rich-poor divide: our annual watch and wait for the monsoon. It begins every year, without fail as heat climbs and the monsoon advances. The farmers wait desperately because they need the rain at the right time to sow their crops. The city managers wait because by the beginning of each monsoon period, the reservoirs that supply water to cities are precariously low. All of us wait, in spite of our air-conditioned living, for the relief rain brings to the scorching heat and dust.

Mastering the Mile
How the fastest stay fast
Occasionally, world-class milers will step up in distance to the 5000m run, but rarely beyond that.
It's not that they are not fit enough. Most world-class milers are capable of running a fast 10,000m or longer, but they may not be quite as competitive at the longer distances. Likewise, most world-class 10,000m runners and marathoners can run a decent mile, but they usually are not world-class milers. The training demands for various distances differ somewhat as does the physiological makeup of the runner.
This is not always the case with masters runners. While the competition is often keen, several long-distance masters runners have also been successful in the mile. Of course, it could be that they are really milers who have done well on the roads and at longer distances on the track.
Painful, Intense . . . but Fun
"The mile is more painful than the longer distances, but it's still fun and a real challenge," says 71-year-old Charles Rose of Charlotte, NC. At the national masters championships in Eugene, OR, last year, Rose broke the American 70–74 record at 1500m with a 5:12.40 clocking. That equates to a 5:37 mile, which is what Rose ran the mile in at a Nashville, TN, meet a few months before. He also broke the American record in the 800m, running 2:26.14 in Eugene.
Rose, a retired plastics and chemical company research manager, took up running at age 55 and did not venture onto the track until last year when his coach, Larry Frederick, suggested it. Until then, he was strictly a road runner, doing everything up to a marathon but preferring the 5K to 10K range.
"It's a little more intense, but not all that much different," Rose replied when asked how his training for the mile compared with that for the roads. "I hit the track a little more often and the quarters are a little faster, but that's about it. They say if you are going to get hurt, it will be on the track, but so far I've managed to avoid any real injuries."
Quality Over Quantity
Kathy Martin, a 52-year-old resident of Northport, NY, pretty much agrees with Rose concerning the training. "I don't train specifically for the mile," says Martin, who set an American indoor age record of 5:02.28 for 1500m in March 2003 and ran a 5:19.2 mile in the New York City Armory this past January. "I run races mostly in the 5K to 10K range and do the mile off that training. Maybe I could do a faster mile if I did more speedwork, but there are tradeoffs with that."
Martin further explains that she is a low-mileage trainer, averaging 35 to 40 miles a week, much of it quality work. Thus, it appears that she is really training more like a miler than a long-distance runner and that her biggest gains might be in the longer distances if she were to add mileage to her regimen.
Mile to the Marathon
A month or so before he finished the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 2:59:09—becoming the first person over 70 to go under three hours in the marathon—Canadian Ed Whitlock, then 72, ran 5:08 for 1500m. That effort, on a table of comparative performances, is just about equal to his marathon.
Whitlock's training was geared for the marathon, mostly two-hour runs at eight- to nine-minute-mile pace. "I expect I could have done a better 1500 with more speed and interval workouts if I didn't get injured doing it," he says. "But then I suspect I have a fair amount of basic speed, and without that speed workouts would be more necessary."

White Christmas at Western Stage
- When: Sunday, November 18, 2012, 2 p.m.
- Where: Western Stage Main Stage, Salinas
- Cost: $20
- Age limit: Not available
- Categories: Theater
Irving Berlin reportedly thought his 1941 song "White Christmas" was a work of genius fully a decade before Bing Crosby and Paramount Pictures turned it into a seasonal sensation. The feel-good story about fellow veterans who rally to support a friend's failing ski lodge during an unseasonably warm winter is as timeless as Berlin's classic tunes sprinkled throughout. The writers never could've anticipated the timeliness of such a tale, as climate change throws more and more unpredictable weather our way. Though it will take more than a song to reverse that damage, a heartwarming victory story sounds inspiring right about now. [SR]
7:30pm Fri and Sat, 2pm Sun, Nov. 10-Dec. 8. The Western Stage, Hartnell College, 411 Central Ave., Salinas. $20. 755-6816, www.westernstage.com.

There's no way North American stud lumber sawmills will be able to keep up with the recovering U.S. housing market, new research being compiled by the International Wood Markets Group shows.
The shortage of studs - boards used to frame walls in residential houses - is expected to lead to record lumber prices and will make construction lumber profitable enough that European sawmills will likely make inroads into North America, where a supercy-cle is shaping up for commodity lumber, Wood Markets president Russ Taylor said Friday.
Lumber prices today are high, having broken through the $400 US a thousand board feet barrier, but Taylor said this is just the beginning.
"Two or three years out is when we think it is really going to hit," he said.
U.S. housing starts are expected to more than triple off their 2009 lows between now and 2017, when Taylor said they will hit 1.5 million starts a year. Starts are expected to reach 925,000 to 950,000 this year, indicating the lumber rally still has a long way to go, he said.
While all segments of the lumber industry are expected to benefit with the U.S. recovery, studs are going to be affected the most, Taylor said, because there are limited opportunities to increase production capacity.
Studs are generally made from logs cut to eight-foot lengths and are processed in mills designed to produce only two-by-four or two-by-six dimensions in that length. While a standard dimension lumber sawmill can produce studs, it usually means taking a more valuable piece of lumber and cutting it to the eight-foot length, something that may end up happening as the supercycle - which Taylor said is now underway - leads to supply shortages.
He said the market will adjust to the shortage through higher prices, imports from Europe, where costs are much higher, and substitutions with products like steel.
The capacity crunch is the result of permanent mill closures. During the economic downturn, stud mills were affected the most, with mills in Quebec taking the deepest hit, Taylor said. In B.C., the mountain pine beetle epidemic has reduced the wood supply but sawmill fires have also had an impact. Prince George's Lakeland stud mill was destroyed in an explosion and fire last year, permanently affecting production in this province.
"It's a pretty simple story," Taylor said. "But it's still a huge story about where the lumber is going to come from."
He said none of North Ameri-a's major wood-producing areas - B.C., Eastern Canada, the U.S. South and the U.S. Northwest - have the capacity to expand production significantly.
The U.S. South has the wood, but because of the characteristics of the wood, studs are not a preferred product.
That means stud prices will likely be the most volatile of all lumber products, he said.
International Wood Markets is preparing more detailed information on the pending stud shortage by tracking the market size and segments, production capacity by region and other details to come up with a five-year forecast. Early research so far, Taylor said, shows the supply-demand gap emerging after 2015.
Stud prices are already gaining momentum, according to trade journal Madison's Lumber Reporter. It noted that the issues of reduced capacity and severe supply constraints are becoming more apparent.
Furthermore, the Chinese market is picking up. "Studs are especially favoured by Chinese buyers; they love ripping them up and re-manufacturing them into furniture, trim and other value-added products," market analyst Earl Heath stated in the trade journal's Friday report.

How does the Moon go through phases?
The sky has many wonders that change from night to night.
Look up! You might see:
- The Moon,
- Star patterns,
- Shooting stars.
Want to know more about these beautiful night-sights?
Moon swings
What's the Moon phase tonight?The Moon cycles through changes (called phases).
It seems to get bigger until it is a full circle.
Then it gets smaller until you can't see it at all!
If you have a pair of binoculars, use them to get a better look at the Moon. You can see craters and mountains.
The craters really stand out along the line between the sunlit part and the dark part.
Pictures in the sky
Asterisms are easily recognizable patterns of stars.
People think that some asterisms make pictures. Ancient people named these shapes and made up stories about them. We call them constellations.
To find star patterns in the night sky, go outside about an hour after the Sun sets.
Follow the drinking gourd.It may take up to half an hour for your eyes to get used to the dark.

When taking a trip to a major retail store in Wadesboro a few days before Christmas, one would probably expect to find the store bustling with last-minute shoppers and holiday tunes playing over the loudspeakers. What you would not expect is to find employees ripping down the wrapping paper decorating the register lights, removing Christmas trees and packing them up for storage.
A sign when you enter the store counts down the days until Christmas so you might want to double-check that you read correctly and didn't, in fact, sleep through the big day. Nope. The sign confirms that Christmas is still a few days away. So why are employees de-Christmasing the store?
Well, to get ready for Easter, of course. This makes perfect sense, considering that the Christmas decorations were up while kids were still trick-or-treating.
The marketing machine of major retailers may have finally taken things too far. The idea of taking down Christmas decorations days before the holiday itself is absurd. It's as if the holiday has lost all meaning.
The Christmas season is about giving to others, celebrating the goodness in others. How are last-minute shoppers supposed to feel the holiday spirit when there are Easter bunnies decorating the store instead of Santas? How are employees supposed to feel holiday cheer when all signs of Christmas have been stripped?
By the time this paper is delivered, Christmas will have passed. Here's hoping other retailers wait until at least today to remove their holiday decorations.
