Fitness: Getting and Staying Active - What Does "Being Active" Really Mean?
Being active means allowing your body to "practice" breathing, using your muscles, and stretching. The more practice your body gets, the better it works.
It's important to be active in three areas: aerobic activity, muscle strength, and stretching.
Aerobic activity
Aerobic activity makes your heart and lungs work harder and builds up your endurance. It gets more oxygen to your muscles, which allows your muscles to work longer. Aerobic activities include walking, running, cycling, and swimming.
To get and stay healthy, experts say to do either of these:2
- Get moderate aerobic activity for at least 2½ hours a week.
- Get vigorous aerobic activity for at least 1¼ hours a week.
You can choose to do one or both types of activity. And it's fine to be active in several blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and week. Do what works best for you. For example, you could do moderate activity for 45 minutes every other day. Or you could do 10 minutes 3 times a day, 5 days a week.
How hard to work
Moderate activity causes your heart and lungs to work harder. Here's an easy way to know if you're working hard enough to get the health benefits of moderate-level activity:
- If you can't talk and do your activity at the same time, you are exercising too hard.
- If you can sing while you do your activity, you may not be working hard enough.
- If you can talk but can't sing while you do your activity, you are doing fine.
Another way to see how hard you exercise is to find your target heart rate. As a guideline, use the Interactive Tool: What Is Your Target Heart Rate? and learn to take your pulse .
Stronger muscles
Building stronger muscles is an important part of overall health. When your muscles are strong, you can carry heavy grocery bags more easily, pick up children without feeling as much strain, or do more downhill ski runs before you get too tired and have to stop.
Making your muscles stronger includes:
- Resistance training. This helps build muscles through regular use, especially when your muscles have to work against something.
- Strengthening your core. This helps build the muscles around your belly and back (trunk). This is called core stability. It can help you have better posture and balance, and help protect you from injury.
Experts advise people to do exercises to strengthen muscles at least 2 times a week. Be sure to work the major muscle groups: legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms.
Examples of exercises that strengthen muscles include lifting weights and resistance training.
Stretching for flexibility
Flexibility means being able to move your joints and muscles through their full range of motion.
As you become more flexible, you will find it easier to reach things on high shelves, to look under a bed, or perhaps to tie your shoes. You will also have a better sense of balance and coordination.
To stay flexible, stretch all your major groups of muscles. These include the muscles of your arms, your back, your hips, the front and back of your thighs, and your calves.
As you get started with flexibility and stretching, begin slowly, and increase your efforts bit by bit. You can measure your progress with flexibility by noticing how much farther you can do each stretch. Can you stretch farther each day than you could when you started? If so, your flexibility is getting better.
Do your stretching and flexibility exercises in addition to your aerobic and strength-building exercises.

The push is on for Lincoln's first Entertainment District, a place that allows you to have alcohol outside, within a specified area.
Naturally, The Rail Yard, an area being developed near the new Pinnacle Bank Arena, was the first to apply.
The city council was scheduled to vote on the issue Monday night, but instead voted to delay the decision by at least a week, pending another meeting with city staff.
Trent Fellers was on the only council member to vote no on the issue, but both Doug Emery and Leirion Gaylor-Baird expressed disappointment.
"They have been in contact with the Urban Design Committee and it's been seen a number of times. This last minute, 11th hour, request doesn't make a lot of sense from where I sit," Councilwoman Gaylor-Baird said.
The district includes Canopy Street, and will be bound by 7th Street on the East, an alley on the west, Q Street on the south, and R Street on the North.
Brett West with WRK Real Estate expressed interest in closing down Canopy Street and obtaining special designated licenses for every Husker football home game, but councilman Emery didn't seem too keen on the idea.
"We're going to have kids down there and we want to people to walk through with their families and not have it be entirely closed off every Saturday," councilman Emery said.
The council is expected to vote on the Entertainment District at next Monday's meeting.

To The Editor: Drs. Erickson and Erickson are concerned about the costs to the public resulting from the downturn in support of NIH funding. As we enter the fourth consecutive year of subinflationary budgets for NIH institutes, we see the pain in many sectors of the biomedical research community, from new investigators applying for a first grant to senior scientists who are losing long-term support for a productive laboratory. The gap between supply and demand has become even more acute in the past year as success rates for most NIH institutes have fallen below 20%. To adapt to the decrease in funding in the current fiscal year, NIH has adopted several new pay policies designed to protect scientists who are most vulnerable (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-030.html).
Each of the 27 institutes and centers at NIH faces somewhat different funding challenges. NIMH has had one of the highest investments in training, approaching twice the NIH mean. While success rates for research grants were falling from close to 30% to under 20%, NIMH support for training was growing at an unsustainable rate. Left unchecked, this imbalance between the pipeline and the payline would ultimately ensure that the Institute would not be able to support independent research by the generation of young investigators currently in training. To correct this imbalance, in 2004 NIMH initiated a plan to reduce the number of institutional training (T) grants and the number of mentored career (K) awards, with a goal of changing the training commitment from 10.5% to 8.6% of the total budget by 2010. From 2004 to 2006, the total number of mentored K awards dropped from 379 to 362. This is not exactly a "drastic" reduction, but it may feel draconian to a new applicant who finds that a grant with an excellent score is not funded. While there have been many excellent K awards that were not funded, 54 new mentored K awards were funded in 2006, ranging from basic neuroscience to services research. Moreover, the NIMH success rate for mentored K awards in 2006 was 27%, well above the success rate for research grants at NIMH. Note that last year the National Institute on Drug Abuse funded a total of 142 mentored K awards, and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism funded 58 mentored K awards, marking an increase in support and success rates well above success rates for research grants.
Drs. Erickson and Erickson are correct to note the importance of these awards for providing protected time for research training. Our challenge is to balance the funds committed to training with the funds available for research grants, ensuring that those in the pipeline will have an opportunity to become independent investigators. More than ever, as our special article noted, the current budget requires tough choices and careful planning. Drs. Erickson and Erickson remind us that these tough choices can create a new set of costs to the public.

The Museum offers a lively experience for volunteering, with practicums, and hands-on work experience to parallel academic research. With our valuable philosophy of establishing the museum as a laboratory, students, as future professionals, can gain valuable experiences to further goals and interests.
Our volunteers and interns work directly with all of our professional staff, across departments, making valuable connections in the operations of an art museum and non-profit organization.The Museum experience is not limited to people interesed in museums or art. The museum is a highly complex non- profit business with divisions in administration, art, education, marketing, public relations and more. No matter what your major, or your future career expectations, you can find valuable experience that will lend itself to future work.
There are many ways to get involved with the Museum. We encourage all of our volunteers to become MUSE or WaMAC members, as these student organizations help support student activities in the Museum. The organizations also provide a casual relationship with the museum if you are looking for an introduction to museum work.
To volunteer at the Museum, we ask that you commit to a minimum of 5 hours a week, during a semester. This is a great way to get a feel for museum work. Hours can be filled with daily tasks, or special projects, depending on what your interests and career goals are. We strive to balance each volunteer's time with daily tasks and portfolio pieces. A portfolio piece is something that is created to show others your skills, and adds to your vita. It can be anything from a publication to a byline on exhibition productions, depending on what you are working on. Daily tasks help reinforce the administrative side of the museum, teaching you valuable office and communication skills.
Your FIRST STEP is to fill out an application, and submit it to the Education Office at the Museum. You will then be called for an interview. Interviews are most commonly held during the first and last weeks of the semester, but please apply anytime, depending on the projects; we may have something that is a perfect fit for your skills and interests.
For further information please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 757.221.2703.
Internships (may be taken for credit with approval from the Museum and the Department of Art & Art History)
Interns are the next level of volunteering. It requires a larger time commitment, but also gives you a greater in-depth experience where you work on larger projects. You must volunteer for the museum for at least one semester prior to your internship.
You can also choose to intern for college credit, to do so please read about the internship program, and make an appointment to consult with the Internship Coordinator at email@example.com or 757.221.2703.

FORT MYERS: Red Sox spring training tickets won't go on sale for another three days, but already the line is growing outside City of Palms Park. The diehard fans will be camping out for days to get the best seats.
For three more days, those fans will be stuck on the sidewalk outside the park.
"My friends, they say I'm crazy and other things I probably can't mention. But to each his own, I guess," said Naples resident Mark Griffiths.
The Boston Red Sox fans all say they want first pick when spring training tickets go on sale Saturday.
And officials we spoke to say this year's schedule is sure to draw big crowds.
"Yankees, Mets, Phillies - they'll go quickly," said Katie Hass, with the Red Sox.
She explained there are also new restrictions for those in line this year.
"We'll be giving out wristbands and barricades. Nobody can come on site Friday night and hold a spot then 9:58 Saturday rolls around and 10 people get out of a car and jump in line," she said.
And that is what has many people staking out their spots – armed with tents, grills, blankets and even beds.
But if they decide they need a shower or a snack, the fans in line say the unwritten rule allows them to leave the line for two hours.
Anything longer than that, they say, you run the risk of being booted all the way to the back of the line.
Each fan can buy up to eight tickets and the good news is that prices haven't gone up.
You can expect to pay $46 for front row seats - all the way down to $10 for the lawn.
Tickets are first come first serve.
You can also click here to get tickets online. They go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.

Fish Tacos
I used Mark Bittman's broiled white-fish taco recipe to really maximize my fish tacos. I chose Tilapia as my fish, and warmed corn tortillas in the oven right before we were ready to eat. With fish tacos, it is all about the toppings, which I served: fresh guacamole, cilantro, pickled jalapenos, chopped tomatoes, thinly sliced radishes, sour cream, chopped red onions, and a dollop from the Mexican corn sauce to really make it over the top.
I served this with Mexican Corn and Cuban Black Bean and Potato Soup

PRO: In a matter of seven seasons, Jay Ratliff's pro career has catapulted from backup contributor to Pro Bowl nose tackle with three selections as a starter in his four consecutive trips to the NFL's all-star game following superior performances from 2008-11. Now in his eighth season, the former seventh round draft choice continues his ascension as one of the best nose tackles in the league. Ratliff is a versatile athlete who began his collegiate career as a tight end before playing two seasons as a defensive end and his final season as a defensive tackle. He is a tough, aggressive lineman who can collapse the pocket and knife into the backfield to flush out the quarterback. Ratliff made the most of his opportunity during the 2007 season after the team lost Jason Ferguson to injury in Week 1, allowing him to step in and start 14 games at nose tackle where his production led to a five-year extension on December 14, 2007. As the unquestioned starter at nose tackle in 2008, Ratliff's dominance at the position earned him his first selection to the Pro Bowl as a starter on the defensive line of the NFC squad, a feat he followed up with another dominating performance at the position in 2009 to earn his second consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl. He continued to impress in 2010 and 2011 as he earned his third and fourth consecutive Pro Bowl invites and third as a starter. He was again rewarded for his progress and dominance with his second five-year contract extension signed shortly before the 2011 season opener, keeping Ratliff in Dallas through the 2017 season.

The poor voters in Michigan will be inundated with numbers this election year as Gov. Rick Snyder and Democratic challenger Mark Schauer dazzle you with so many figures your head will start spinning.Only a few days into the campaign the back and forth over job figures is in full bloom. The governor's commercial argues "Michigan gained 220,000 private sector jobs" due to decisions he's made.Mr. Schauer counters the governor's policies had nothing to do with that. It was President Obama's 11th hour rescue of GM and Chrysler that produced the new employment. And others point out the current recovery started just as former Gov. Jennifer Granholm was leaving office. She missed it by "that" much.Since the economy will be central to who wins the race for governor, the fact checkers had a field day after the Super Bowl ad came out. They promptly slapped a "technical foul" on Mr. Snyder on the job figure.First they said that figure came from a University of Michigan forecast that nobody has seen. Or put another way, you are suppose to trust the Snyder ad handlers that they told the truth. Secondly, the governor left out some revealing data. (Perish the thought that a political commercial would conveniently leave out some information.)The fact-checkers concede jobs are increasing but the state is still 500,000 jobs short of where we were in 2003.Well wouldn't the fact-checkers be surprised to learn that the governor is not taking credit for any job creation."I don't take credit for creating jobs per se, but we created an environment to really make job creation happen. And that is true," he asserts during a one on one interview adding, "I don't view the public sector as creating jobs."It is true the commercial did not say the governor created those jobs, using the word "gained" instead. But for the casual viewer, you'd have to be paying close attention to catch that nuance word.To be more forth coming perhaps Snyder's campaign should change the wording in the spot to read, "While the governor says he did not create those 220,000 jobs, he did create the environment for them to grow."Based on his own remarks that would be much closer to his version of the truth and more revealing for the voters. And the fact-checkers would have to give him points for that although Mr. Schauer might not.

If you're looking to get that pothole on your street filled, today might be your lucky day.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, along with City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Comptroller John Liu, announced an accelerated funding plan that could get some city projects off the ground sooner than currently scheduled.
Projects elligible for the early disbursement funds must already be in the city's capital plan, which is updated on an annual basis with projects for the next four years.
The deal includes improvements to 100 schools across the city, resurfacing 300 miles of New York's roads nearly $20 million for bridge repair.
Bloomberg said the deal was proof that local government in the five boroughs was as effective as anywhere in the nation.
"Working with Comptroller Liu and Speaker Quinn, we were able to move beyond our different opinions to finalize a plan that fast-tracks critical infrastructure projects," Bloomberg said. "Efforts like this one are what make City government effective and are yet another example of how, in contrast to places like Washington where people from opposing parties or ideas cannot get anything accomplished, here in New York City, we can work together to what is right for our city."
Quinn said the plan could create thousands of jobs in the city over the next two years.
"Now is the time to take advantage of low interest rates and construction costs and accelerate sorely needed construction projects while creating close to 10,000 jobs over the next two fiscal years," Quinn said.

Morsi appeals to opposition for unified Egypt in face increasingly popular 'rebellion' petition
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi appealed Wednesday to the opposition for unity, in the face of criticism he is failing the revolution that brought him to power almost a year ago.
"To all those who love Egypt, to the opposition, those who love this country and care for its interests, let's proceed together... help each other, love each other more... and move forward," said Morsi.
The Islamist president was speaking after a ceremony to mark the release of seven security personnel kidnapped last week in the lawless Sinai peninsula.
"Let's look forward, not back. Let's reconcile with those who seek reconciliation... I call on everyone to sit down together and dialogue, even if we disagree on points of view," he said.
Morsi, who hails from the powerful Muslim Brotherhood, is Egypt's first elected president since the 2011 uprising that toppled his predecessor Hosni Mubarak, himself in power for 30 years.
But his opponents accuse him of placing the interests of his Islamist movement above those of the nation, despite repeated vows to be a "president for all Egyptians".
His tenure has been marked by deep political polarization, violent unrest and a crippling economic crisis.
Earlier this month, a campaign calling for his ouster gathered over two million signatures, its organizers said, including from high profile activists and celebrities.
The "Tamarod" (Rebellion in Arabic) campaign seeks to withdraw confidence from the Islamist leader because he has failed the revolution that brought him to power, they said.
"Because security has not returned, because the poor have no place, because I have no dignity in my own country... we don't want you anymore," the text reads.
"The campaign was launched because the president is no longer able to manage the country," Tamarod spokesman Mahmoud Badr recently told Agence France Presse.
Tamarod has called for a mass protest outside the presidential palace on June 30 when Morsi marks one year in power.
But Morsi urged people to return to the spirit of the 2011 revolution which saw Islamists and secularists, men and women, standing together in an electrifying show of unity to bring Mubarak down.
"I reach out to everyone, to all those who wish this nation well, to really be the children of the January 25 revolution," Morsi said.
"Egyptians after January 25 are one people," he insisted.

Sachin receives Order of Australia
Simon Crean (L), Australian Minister for Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government, gestures at a stump decorated by an aboriginal artist after presenting the membership of The Order of Australia to Indian cricketer Tendulkar in Mumbai on November 6, 2012. India's record-breaking batsman Sachin Tendulkar on November 6 was conferred with membership of the Order of Australia. Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who announced Tendulkar's membership to the Order during a three-day state visit to India last month, told reporters that Tendulkar deserved the 'special honour' because he was a 'very special cricketer'.(Photo: AFP/Getty Images)

Subaru Viziv: An innovative vision?
Subaru's Viziv crossover concept is a 'Vision for Innovation' at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.
Subaru Viziv concept
Subaru still isn't quite sure what it should be. Is it a maker of tough crossovers? Or rear-drive coupes? Or all-wheel-drive sedans and hatchbacks? Enter Viziv, what one might call Subaru's response to the Range Rover Evoque. The premium compact crossover concept could provide strong clues about a future production model.
It's very clever beneath the surface. Linked to a flat-four diesel engine are three electric motors, one connected directly to the engine and the other two driving the rear wheels. So it's 4-wheel drive, but it's also able to provide pure electric running at low speeds.
More intriguingly still, those rear electric motors provide torque vectoring, so they can be juggled to make the Subaru handle really well at speed. Torque vectoring is technology that Porsche uses: This savvy solution from Subaru has real potential.
More coverage from the Geneva Motor Show
2013 Subaru Viziv
What is it? Viziv may be hard to say, but it's apparently derived from the phrase "Vision for Innovation" — which essentially means the Viziv may provide a few clues to the future design philosophy of the Subaru brand.
What's hot? It's really hard to say what's hot and what's not. Clearly it looks dramatic. As with many concepts of this nature, the Subaru crossover is merely a design study, although that could change.
What's not? Subaru claims the Viziv represents a direction of new designs and new technologies enhancing the Subaru brand into the future. It's a future-generation crossover concept embodying the brand values of "enjoyment and peace of mind." Be honest, Subaru, you made all that up just now, didn't you?
How much and when? This isn't something you can order from your Subaru dealer. Yet. But as with concepts of the past, if enough show-goers and customers provide positive feedback, Subaru might be encouraged to move forward toward production. So if you like it, jump on a flight to Geneva. (Although truth be told, Subaru would probably prefer it if you simply "liked" it on Facebook.)
MSN Autos' verdict: If the Viziv is providing clues about a future model, we like the look of those clues. This is exactly what a charismatic brand such as Subaru should be doing.

Scientists at MIT have developed a positive electrode made of carbon nanotubes that significantly boosts lithium ion battery performance and www.airatlanta.ie could lead to much greater range in electric vehicles and longer battery lives for gadgets.
The carbon nanotube electrodes enable lithium ion batteries to deliver ten times more power than a conventional battery and store five times more energy than a conventional ultracapacitor. The nanotubes accomplish this because they have a very high surface area for storing and reacting with lithium, which increases the battery's storage capacity and the tramadol with no prescription speed at which it can charge and discharge.
The MIT scientists have already licensed the technology to a battery company (as yet, unnamed) and are perfecting quick methods of making the electrodes, like spraying the nanotubes on a substrate, to facilitate mass production.MIT Technology Review
written by Mitch, June 22, 2010
could lead to much greater range in electric vehicles
Thats an incorrect conclusion.
The carbon nanotube electrodes enable lithium ion batteries to deliver ten times more power than a conventional battery and store five times more energy than a conventional ultracapacitor.
Power delivery and energy capacity are not the same. Current capacitors have excellent power delivery but poor energy capacity. If this technology had five times the energy capacity of a conventional battery that conclusion would be correct.

"The more total lithium the battery can store, the greater its total energy storage capacity. The faster the ions can move out of one electrode and discounted tramadol into the soft cialis other, the greater its power. In work published this week in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, the MIT group showed that lithium ions in a battery electrolyte react with oxygen-containing chemical groups on the surface of the carbon nanotubes in the film. Because of the huge surface area and porous structure of only for you levitra online india the nanotube electrodes, there are many places for the ions to react, and they can travel in and out rapidly, which gives the nanotube battery high energy capacity and power, says Shao-Horn."

She might be a princess-in-waiting, but Kate Middleton still loves a High Street bargain as much as the next girl.
The stylish 28-year-old was spotted scouring the sales racks at Peter Jones, the Chelsea branch of John Lewis.
A saleswoman said: "Kate's been a PJ customer for years and she's told us that she'll continue to come here when she's married to William."
Kate made three visits to the store and took full advantage of the sales, buying from brands including Whistles, Fenn Wright Mason and Paul Costelloe.

Keith Urban 's new single, "Little Bit of Everything," hit the airwaves Monday and is available at iTunes on Tuesday. Look for Keith to perform the song on the season finale of American Idol on Thursday night too.
"Little Bit of Everything" is the lead release from Keith's upcoming studio album, due out this fall. Though he didn't write the song, Keith says, "'Little Bit of Everything' conveys a sentiment that's always felt right to me. I connected with that from the first time I heard it. I 'felt it' and I loved it."
Keith is still in the studio finishing up his new album. He'll hit the road on the Light the Fuse tour in July.

Mixed martial arts had a tough time just gaining entry to Vancouver.
Now, with a third Ultimate Fighting Championship event at Rogers Arena going on Saturday night, the sport is finding it's tough to pack the arena.
The first UFC fight card at Rogers was in 2010 and drew a near sellout of 17,699.
When UFC 115 was held at Rogers the next year, it drew about 3,000 fewer (14,685).
And ticket sales are sluggish for Saturday's UFC 174, too.
Dana White, president of UFC, doesn't care.
"The gate is over a million dollars," he said on Friday after addressing a Vancouver Board of Trade luncheon. "If doing over a million bucks sucks, I'll take that all day in any city, anywhere."
For years, UFC was banned in Vancouver.
It was illegal under a 1935 provincial law.
Tom Wright, director of operations for UFC in Canada and a former commissioner of the Canadian Football League, was asked to compare his current sport with the CFL.
"With the CFL, I didn't have to worry whether football was legal," Wright said. "We wanted to make sure UFC was not only legal, but properly sanctioned."
The law was altered, Vancouver said OK, but insisted on a $10-million payment to cover insurance and security.
UFC balked.
Further muddying the waters, Vancouver used to have its own athletic commission, the province abdicating responsibility to municipalities until last summer when Victoria took over the regulation of boxing and mixed martial arts.
So, while UFC isn't yet allowed in New York, here it is staging a third Vancouver fight card since 2010.
"Obviously, it wasn't the best scenario for us here at first," said the 44-year-old White. "But it was no different than anywhere else.
"Everywhere we've gone, from Day 1, we've had to go in and prove ourselves.
"We did that here and it all worked out. Even when it was bad here and they were asking us to pay for all that extra stuff, we've had hurdles since we bought this company and that was just another hurdle.
"It's behind us now."
White and two partners bought a near-bankrupt UFC for $2 million US 12 years ago.
"It had a horrible stigma," White said. "It was not allowed on pay-per-view.
"Porn was on pay-per-view — that's how bad it was."
He recently told the Financial Times UFC is now worth $3.5 billion US.
Back then, the market was limited to the United States, Mexico and the U.K.
Now, UFC is broadcast to 145 countries in two dozen languages.
"I love Canada, I say that all the time," White said. "Canada blew me away, I did not see Canada coming."

During the last 2 weeks or so I have been commuting back and forth between Kent, home of the great Shepherd Neame beer, and Roeselare in Belgium, home of the Rodenbach beer. Le Shuttle has come in useful – that's the car train onto which you drive your car, park in first gear, read a newspaper or book or go to sleep, and 30 minutes later you emerge from the Channel Tunnel in either Folkestone or Calais ( depending on which way you're going ), drive off the flat bed, up a ramp, down the other side and straight on to a motorway and dinner.
One evening returning from Faversham I drove off at Calais heading towards the Bruges area in Belgium, about 50-60 minutes drive past Dunkerque and Ostend. Supplied with sandwiches and an excellent black cherry sundae from Café Primo in the Folkestone terminal, I stopped at a service area just short of Bruges. It was a nice evening and I parked my car next to a van with UK number plates. While eating my sandwich I noticed some black-hatted Chasidim emerge from the van who then walked into the field opposite to say Arbit ( the evening prayers ). They must have been en route to Antwerp. They started swaying sideways and then forwards and backwards. One gave a deep bow and then jerked sharply backwards which can't be very good for the oxygen supply to the brain. Anyway there were five of them lined up in front of this hedgerow, all making voluntary spasms sideways and forwards. I don't know how this appeared to other travellers but to me it looked as though they wanted to urgently relieve themselves.
The next evening I ate at Dickie's Bar in Bruges on T'Zand at 16 Vrijdagmarkt. This time of year the place is full of tourists. As a consequence the gap between meal prices and gastronomic standards widens, both pulling in opposite directions, Dickie's Bar being an exception. The owner chef produced a grilled salmon and baked potato with a freshly-prepared sauce bearnaise. This was washed down with a recommended Brugse Zot, a beer that I had not previously come across but which is locally brewed in Bruges with a 6% ABV. Worth a visit, good range of local beers, good-sized portions and sensible prices.

A good place to eat in Calais is in the Calais-Plage or beach area, well away from the main town centre and the English. One evening I ate at Le Dauphin at 57 Digue Gaston Berthe – cod in mustard sauce, salade de tomates and two Kasteel biere blanches, all for 20 Euros. Another good fish restaurant in Calais is Le Grand Bleu opposite the Holiday Inn along Boulevard des Alliees. I first ate there in 1989 when it opened. http://www.legrandbleu-calais.com/intro.php?id=437
The Belgian coast is only 40 miles long and tends to be heavily built-up along various resorts. On another evening returning from England I drove from Calais and turned off the motorway into De Panne just after crossing the border line into Belgium. De Panne is at the western extremity of the coast, Knokke being at the eastern end. I had another grilled salmon with vegetables, this time accompanied by a Rodenbach beer, at the Astoria Palace eetcafe, located on the beach.
Further along the coast towards is Ostend is Nieuwpoort, the third largest fishing harbour in Belgium. Looking for a place to eat here I stopped at Turbotin. This was very good. I ordered a starter portion, which was a mistake due to the portion size of the main course. To start with I had that great Belgian staple, champignons sur toast or mushrooms on toast which was elevated to an art form here with chunky field mushrooms on 2 slices of toast. The main course was a filet de bar poelee, or sea bass lightly fried in butter or meuniere with a side dish of mashed potato, lightly blended with béchamel. Absolutely delicious, solid Belgian cooking, no messing about here with complicated recipes. Worth a return visit or two. Turbotin is at Albert I Laan 92 in the beach area of Nieuwpoort, or call it Newport. Closed on Tuesdays. About a mile or so down the road is the town itself with several fish restaurants along the harbour. I shall have to try these another time.
Last Monday I drove my new Volvo to Belgium to stretch its legs a bit. I bought some bread and some salmon salad for lunch at a local supermarket in Roeselare. On the way back to the office I ran into a line of traffic held up by the impending arrival of the round Belgium cycle race, the only cycle race that takes about 40 minutes to complete. Shuffling forward I got to the head of the line at a roundabout only to be ordered to stop by a policeman. He could have let me through as the first group of cyclists was still some 5 minutes away. Anyway he told me to wait. So I got out my bread and salmon salad and started to have lunch in the car. A few minutes later a rush of cyclists, camera cars and support vehicles passed by. After this the policeman waved his hand to proceed but I thought that I'd wait a bit more and finish my lunch. The policeman waved his arm again but I carried on eating. He started gesticulating again and again but I didn't move. After a few more minutes he came over to my side of the car and muttered something which seemed to be half Dutch and half English. I told him that I was finishing my lunch, having been stopped for the best part of 15 minutes. This standoff continued for 2 or 3 more minutes with the policeman becoming visibly agitated after which I decided that I was about 2 nanoseconds away from being arrested, so I put away my bread, started the engine and with a deft use of clutch and accelerator drove away with a screech of tyres. I had considered waving goodbye with a reverse V-sign but decided against that. A car with foreign number plates is regarded as fair game in Belgium.

There are a lot of people wanting to help those hurt in the Boston bombings. If you're left wondering what can I do? Try running.
On Monday, runners from all across the country, including here in Lincoln, will lace up their running shoes to raise money for the victims in Boston.
It was an event that has forever changed "Marathon Monday" in Boston. The running community was rocked by an act of terror. But as the president remarked Thursday, the city will run again. And they'll do it with the help of local runners like Ann Ringlein.
"Basically we want to show that we're one community of runners, supporting probably a very prolific community - Boston - which everybody in the world knows is for running," Ringlein said.
Ringlein is the manager of the Lincoln Running Co. She's organizing a three mile fun run to benefit Boston. Her company joins thousands of other independent running shops across the country that are taking part in next week's event.
"Running is a great equalizer. People come from all different backgrounds out there. But when you get on that line, when you go to run, you're all the same," Ringlein said.
This Monday - exactly one week after the bombings - people will unite by wearing "Runners for Boston" t-shirts and hitting the pavement.
Ringlein knows it will be an emotional run for many, especially the Lincoln runners who were there when the bombs went off. But she says it'll be the greatest show of support anyone could give to the victims in Boston.
"That's one thing that runners can do to put them back into normalcy, is just go for their run," Ringlein said.
The run is scheduled for Monday, April 22 at 6:30 p.m. Runners will start and finish at the Lincoln Running Co. in downtown Lincoln. The cost to run is $20 and you get a free t-shirt. All of that money goes to the "One Boston Fund."

Seven Favorite Things: Welcome Stranger & Azalea Menswear
What started out years ago as co-owners Catherine Chow and Corina Nurimba's baby, Azalea is now part one of a local fashion trifecta. Last year, Welcome Stranger and Rand + Statler rounded out the mix, offering a 100% menswear outpost and a higher-end niche, respectively.

Last May, Welcome Stranger, became the first of the three to launch a house brand that's produced right here in San Francisco. Among our favorites this week were three items from Welcome Stranger's in-house line (#2, #3, #6), and a pair of everyday Zig Zag chukkas (#1), going fast at $20 a pair.
1. Zig Zag Shoes High Top Gumsole Chukka, $20
2. Welcome Stranger Hiking Shorts, $105
3. Welcome Stranger Arrow Paisley Tie, $108
4. R&L Goods Billfold Wallet, $34
5. MollaSpace Deer Shoehorn, $42
6. Welcome Stranger Multi Buffalo Tee, $35
7. Fjallraven Mini Kanken Rucksack, $55

Evian "Ecoles de protection de l'eau" -- Argentina pilot project
Visit to the new "Ecoles de protection de l'eau" pilot project in Argentina
Nathalie Rizzotti, Ramsar project officer and Danone Evian coordinator, went to the northeast of Argentina, 29 August to 5 September 2008, to visit the new "Ecoles de protection de l'eau" pilot project.
It was the first visit from the Ramsar Secretariat to one of the three projects that are called "Ecoles de protection de l'eau". All three – the other two are located in Nepal and Thailand – are financed by a new fund coming from the Danone-Evian partnership with the Ramsar Convention (http://www.evian-ecolesdeleau.fr/).
The project is being implemented in two Ramsar sites, Jaaukanigas and Chaco wetland, an area of more than 900,000 hectares in Santa Fé and Chaco Provinces.
The objectives are to focus on the wise use of water resources, to work with the local stakeholders involved in maintaining or restoring wetlands, to promote the well-being and active involvement of local communities and to help providing people with fair access to natural resources.
The Argentinean project supports four main domains of activities, helping to reach these objectives:
The project helps to develop alternative activities for the fishermen communities, like fishes added value products, using for example the fish skin to make shoes or purses, or making fish tins to be sold on the local markets.
It helps to build capacities about wetland management and skills to work on the alternative activities. That helps the fisher families and especially women to get work and a salary.
It aims to develop a participative management plan for the two Ramsar sites in order to protect natural resources and make their use sustainable for people.
And finally, the project is developing educational material for the local schools about the importance of wetlands and the significance of the Ramsar Convention.
The Ramsar Secretariat is working with a local NGO, Proteger, which has been working for years to protect wetlands and especially fishes in Argentina, and which is implementing this project at the local level.
The aim of the visit was to help the NGO to strengthen the project and to follow the start of the first activities. N. Rizzotti visited for example the capacity building center in Santa Fé where mainly women are actually working, and then went to Reconquista to visit the construction of a new capacity building center there. She finished her visit in Resistencia up north near the Paraguayan border.
It was also the occasion to meet the provincial and municipal authorities and to spend some time with the artisan fishermen communities. She participated in some meetings of the fishermen association and went with them to view the Ramsar site of Jaaukanigas.
They are still many threats to the wetlands and therefore to fishes, puttingthe means of living of the small fishermen in danger. The main threats are overfishing, mainly by big industries, pollution, lack of water treatment, and intentional fires in the wetland area.
To know more about activities in the region, please consult the local NGO website:

(Reuters) - Bombardier Inc
The company announced in July 2012 a conditional order from an undisclosed customer for five CS100 and 10 CS300 jetliners.
Bombardier on Friday disclosed that the customer was CDB Leasing and said that the purchase agreement also included options on an additional five CS100 and 10 CS300 aircraft.
Bombardier successfully flew its CSeries jetliner for the first time on September 16 after repeated delays.
The company said it had firm orders for 177 CSeries airliners, far short of its goal of 300 by the time the plane enters service next year.

Even before you patent, documenting that your invention is strictly your own is an essential prerequisite. Speak with a patent attorney before you make any final decisions, but before, while, and after you do, keep documenting.
At the end of the day, even a patent isn't a fix-all--it's always up to you to defend your intellectual property rights in court.

It's often argued in HR circles that passive or curious candidates are more desirable than an active candidate, but new survey findings indicate that there's not much truth to that argument.
A poll by Webrecruit drew on the responses of nearly 750 LinkedIn users, and asked candidates how they would best describe themselves in terms of searching for new opportunities. The results revealed 46% of candidates would identify themselves as an 'actively seeking a new job'. A further 9% were passive and would not initiate candidacy, and another 4% said they would not be interested in any new opportunities at all.
According to one recruiter, the idea that the best candidates can be found in passive jobseekers is a myth. "In reality, no type of candidate is better than the other. Rather, the perfect candidate is the one that best meets your needs, is the right person for the job, and is an individual who fits into your organisation," Ken Burt from Webrecruit said.
The findings show that now, more than ever, the importance of embracing an integrated recruitment strategy comprising both social media and traditional recruitment methods in order to identify the best person for the job. "We have to seek out the right candidates – passive, active and everything in between – regardless of their current working status. This means we have to be vigilant in the resources we are using, and more importantly, how we are using them," Burt added.
