The protection of natural resources, an efficient use of energy as well as the environmental safety and compatibility of our operations and products – these are priority objectives when it comes to Porsche and our ecological responsibility.
Product Responsibility
As a sports cars manufacturer, Porsche sets a high value on a continuous improvement in performance that is accompanied by a consistent reduction of gas consumption. This is why we focus on intelligent lightweight design and aerodynamics, technologies like the direct fuel injection (DFI) or automatic start-stop systems, as well as our own developed innovations like the Porsche duplex clutch ("Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe"/PDK).
In order to protect the environment and improve air quality, Porsche has been investing in alternative drives for many years. By equipping the models Cayenne and Panamera with gasoline-electric power trains, Porsche has been able to achieve considerable improvements concerning the emissions of the vehicle fleet. Compared to other manufacturers of the premium segment, Porsche can be seen as a pioneer when it comes to hybrid technology: The Panamera S E-Hybrid and the super sports car 918 Spyder are the first of their classes to be equipped with a gasoline-electric power train. This is how Porsche assumes its environmental responsibility for the future.
Environment and Energy at Our Sites
In addition to product-related measures, Porsche invested in environmentally friendly production processes at an early state. As a consequence, many experts around the world regard our production as a prime example of efficiency. We set a high value on saving water, energy and raw materials, and pursue our environmental goals with great effort. Since the 1990 years, Porsche's production site in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen has held an EMAS and ISO 14001 certified environmental management system. Zuffenhausen also is the first production facility of the automobile industry worldwide to comply with the standard ISO 50001 for energy management systems. When planning the construction of the new factory in Leipzig, Porsche put great emphasize on the involvement of environmentally friendly elements like the paint shop system. Soon we will also set up a photovoltaics system on the roof of the body construction building. Measures like these help to make Porsche's production facility in Leipzig one of the most efficient automobile factories worldwide.

Mega-chain Steve & Barry's has been having financial woes for the past few months, including multiple bankruptcy filings, which has led us to wonder what is happening to their star lines? Remember, Amanda Bynes, Stephon Marbury and Sarah Jessica Parker have all designed affordable fashion lines for the stores. NYMag.com caught up with SJP last night, who revealed she is looking for a new home for her Bitten line. "We have a lot of home offers," Parker said. "We have to make sure that any partner we enter into an agreement with wants the same thing for the brand as we do, which is to serve the customer first. You know, it can't be about commerce, it has to be about the customer, and we have to see who's really willing to be that generous." And not to worry, she's keeping her original commitment to affordable clothing — the majority of the line is under $20. "Now, more than ever, people need all things that are about economy," she continued. "So I want very much to continue it in the right way. So we just have to figure out what's right for the customer, and how to do it in these economic times." We'll be waiting and watching!

What He Said?
What Happened?
IANS (Indo-Asian News Service)- November 14, 2008
When we look at the press in the Islamic world, how do you regard their celebrations in the wake of Obama's election, what do you think of the joy of the Islamic press after Obama's election?
Adnan Oktar: OBAMA'S ELECTION WILL NOT ALTER AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY MUCH,
because there is an American State in America that is always in power; administrations change, but not the way the state runs things. Since it is the state that is in power in America, and not the administration, the arrival of Obama or the departure of someone else will not alter American foreign policy.
Al Quds-November 17, 2008
As you know, Obama has recently been elected. He is someone with African origins. Do you think he can find just solutions for Muslims and the Middle East, or will he continue with the previous American policies?
Adnan Oktar:
There is a deep state organization in America, under the influence of the Masons. That is also the case in Britain. And in France. In other words, there is a masonic dominion with millions of supporters. For that reason, it is very difficult for Obama to be in a position to act independently. Such action is out of the question.
Muslims should not therefore put their hopes on Obama. They should place their hopes in Allah. He is their path to salvation.
The affection, love and profound faith and a constant joyous love of Allah I have spoken of is Muslims' only salvation. It will be their salvation in this world and the Hereafter. One must not seek salvation in this world alone, because the eternal life is exceedingly important. The eternal life of the Hereafter is what Muslims must regard as most important of all. The sole path to salvation in this world and the Hereafter is scrupulous compliance with Allah's commands, full compliance with the Qur'an, and full compliance with the path shown by our Prophet (saas). One must carefully consider and apply all the information provided by our Prophet (saas) about the End Times. It is wrong to think that people who do not take care over these can attain salvation with worldly measures and individuals.

A swirling mix of bi-partisan optimism over increased use of renewable fuel sources and reservations on how the government could afford loan guarantees for such incentives have unfolded in recent weeks in the Senate.
An amendment approved during the first few days of debate in early June created a federal mandate that would double the nation's use of renewable fuels from 4 billion gallons in 2006 to 8 billion gallons in 2012.
Such an increase in the Renewable Fuels Standard would be a 60 percent increase over the previous level passed by Congress.
A less aggressive version of the amendment passed several weeks ago in the House of Representatives calls for 5 billion gallons.
The amendment was co-sponsored by Sen. Chuck Hegel, R-Neb., who called the measure "commonsense legislation."
Like several other farm-state congressmen, Hegel views alternative fuels as an answer to wean the country off imported petroleum and a boon to corn, soybean and grain sorghum.
So, too, does President Bush, who, in a speech delivered recently at a energy efficiency forum, said, "I like the idea of spending money on research to make ethanol more feasible, so that someday an American president says, 'Show me the crop report' as opposed to, 'How many barrels of crude oil are we importing?'"
Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, called passing a comprehensive energy bill with an 8-billion-gallon renewable fuels amendment one of AFBF's "highest legislative priorities."
"An 8-billion-gallon renewable fuels standard would provide substantial market growth opportunities for traditional ethanol, cellulosic ethanol technology and biodiesel, while creating new markets for America's farmers," Stallman said. "It would also decrease our dependence on foreign sources for oil, providing greater energy independence and economic growth."
Initially, there proved to be challenges for senators to find common ground in passing the 778-page bill.
Also early on in the process, officials from the White House Office of Management and Budget expressed financial concerns about other incentives in the proposed bill.
OMB reported that proposed subsidies for nuclear powerplants and other alternative fuel sources in the bill could exceed the president's 10-year, $6.7 billion cap on energy incentives.
OMB added that Bush would oppose any amendment that would force energy utilities to generate 10 percent of their power from solar, wind and other renewable sources by 2020.
Other energy issues, such as provisions for exploration of gas and oil deposits along the nation's gulf coasts, and climate change amendments have been viewed as environmental roadblocks for the bill's ultimate approval — which the president wants finalized and on his desk by August.
Arguably, one topic loomed above all to threaten the bill's passage: Many senators strongly oppose a provision in the House bill that gives liability protection to producers of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), a fuel additive that has contaminated water supplies in communities nationwide.
However, some reports have surfaced that senators have agreed to put aside the issue altogether.
At mid-June, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., indicated that the bill was likely to pass, as did Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who said, "We've worked through some complicated issues… I think it would be good for the country that they see we are now legislating."

Unit Rate Problems (Part 2 of 3)
Lesson 2 of 8
Objective: SWBAT solve unit rate problems by creating and extending a table or double number line diagram.
Big Idea: If we know the unit rate of a ratio relationship, we can find any equivalent ratio easily with any whole number value.
Think About It
To begin, I ask students to work with partners on the Think About_It problem. Students can create either a double number line or a ratio table to solve. The sample here includes work from a student who chose to create a ratio table on the Think About It problem.
After 3-4 minutes of work time, I bring the class together. I pull a popscicle stick as a way to cold call a student whose work will be shown on the document camera. The student walks the class through how the problem was solved. If the student didn't get to a solution (or arrives at an incorrect solution), the class uses the work as a starting point to get to the correct answer.

Guided Practice
Students worked on unit rate problems in the previous lesson, so there is no new material in this lesson. Rather, I am giving students more practice with using unit rates to find equivalent fractions. The problems in this lesson require students to use decimals and fractions in their work, which is difficult for some of my students.
The Guided Practice section of this lesson includes problems that I model with double number lines and ratio tables.
For problem A, I model the solution using fractions. With problem B, I use decimals. I decide to do this so that my students have examples of each method that they can consult as they work.
Resources (1)
As usual, students work in pairs on the Partner_Practice problem set. As students work, I circulate around the room. I am looking for:
- Are students explaining their thinking to their partner?
- Are students writing their work in the work space?
- Are students drawing the models correctly?
- Are students writing the correct decimal or fraction for each unit in their double line diagram or table?
- Are students using their displays to answer basic questions?
I am asking:
- How did you figure out that equivalent ratio?
- How can these displays help you answer ratio questions?
- What's the unit rate?
- How did finding the unit rate help you to figure out the equivalent ratio?
I make sure I am keeping an eye on the students' double number line, to be sure that they place the unit rate to the left of the starting equivalent ratio. The work on the Partner Practice needs to include correct models, arithmetic, and the answer to the problems.
After 10 minutes of partner work time, students complete the check for understanding independently. I have the class clap out their answer, so I can get a quick sense of student mastery. I then have one student display his/her work from the CFU on the document camera.
Resources (3)
Resources (3)
Independent Practice
Now I will give students time to work on the Independent Practice problem set.
On problem number one, some students may decide to find the miles per hour for the unit rate. This problem, however, is best solved by finding hours per mile. As students annotate the problems, I have them circle the unit that the problem gives us for the equivalent fraction - this is the one we use for the unit rate (so, for problem one, it tells us Andrew is traveling 22 miles, so we want to find the unit rate for one mile).
If students are working quickly, they can be encouraged to create both models for the problems.
Resources (1)
Closing and Exit Ticket
After independent work time, I bring the class back together for a conversation. I like to talk about problem 4a from the independent practice.
There are many ways the students can determine that Daniel is incorrect in his thinking. I have students first vote about Daniel's line of thinking - thumbs up if he's correct and thumbs down if he's incorrect. My expectation is that the majority of students will show that Daniel's thinking
I have students share with their partner how they knew Daniel's thinking was incorrect. Then, 3-4 students share out their thinking (more, if there are more than 3-4 kids who want to share!). Students may talk about unit rates, scale factor, number sense, or partitioning in their thinking.
Students complete the Exit Ticket independently to close the lesson.

Teenage actor Angus T. Jones has risked the wrath of his TV boss Chuck Lorre after publicly trashing hit sitcom Two And A Half Men, insisting it's full of "filth".
The 19 year old has portrayed Jon Cryer's onscreen son Jake Harper in the popular comedy since its launch in 2003, and he earns a reported $350,000 per episode, but he reveals he has been reading up on Christianity and the bible and has become more involved in his local church – and the more he learns about his faith, the more he despises his job.
In a candid video for the Forerunner Christian Church, which has been posted online, Jones even pleads with fans to quit tuning into the program for their own good.
He says, "If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching Two and a Half Men. I'm on Two and a Half Men and I don't want to be on it.
"Please stop watching it and filling your head with filth. People say it's just entertainment. Do some research on the affects of television and your brain, and I promise you you'll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch.
"If I am doing any harm, I don't want to be here. I don't want to be contributing to the enemy's plan… You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can't. I'm not OK with what I'm learning, what the bible says and being on that television show."
Lorre has yet to comment on the video. The TV mogul famously fired his former lead star Charlie Sheen after a bitter and public feud last year, and Ashton Kutcher was hired as his replacement.

>Running 101>Hanson's Marathon Project
^^^^ Thanks for the analysis here. It was really informative.
I just wanted to chime in that I am using the Hansons Beginner schedule for my March 25 marathon, so I'm still in the first 5 weeks of base building.
I'm pretty enthusiastic so far as I have been testing out the various weekly runs during the last couple weeks. So far, so good.
I think the "agrees with my temperament" is an apt description to my feelings about the plan. I like the volume of medium-long runs, as my favorite run distances are 8-15 miles, and Hansons gives me lots of those. The MP tempo runs and the MP-10 sec strength-repeat runs appeal to me, as I actually feel pretty comfortable running (for those shorter distances) at MP, and often run 5-7 miles at MP (or faster) anyway. They'll push me when they get to 8-10 miles, but I think the plan will get me there. I loved running 5 days/wk for HH Int 1 for my last marathon -- I think it was great for my legs and was injury free, which was awesome. I am ready and eager for 6 days/wk, so that is a good fit, too. The bit-faster (50 sec slower than MP for me) prescribed LR paces are a bit intimidating, coming from a 1-2 min slower than MP experience with HH plans, but since the LR distances are shorter, and more in my comfort zone, they appeal to me just fine. My first LR (just 12 miles) at the Hansons pace this past weekend was super, so that gives me some confidence. The speed repeat workouts are totally new to me and are the only thing that really has had me worried, as I rarely run that fast, but I really want (and recognize I need) to work on my speed right now, so I am ready and eager to give them a shot. So far, so good.
Instead of following the 5 week base building plan (which is quite conservative), I'm doing more miles, trying out the speed workouts, etc. The book indicates that if you are already running > the base building weeks call for, you can continue with what you already do. I'm pretty much doing that, but taking ideas from the Advanced plan and the later weeks of the Beginner plan to test out the various runs.
My last marathon was 11/18,. so my Hansons week 1 started the day after the marathon, so obviously week 1 was a recovery week (which, for me, meant zero running). Weeks 2-5 I am building back up to regular volume (I plan on 25-35 miles/wk these weeks). I added speed work in week 3 (last week).
This week (technically Week 4), I did a LR at the Hansons prescribed pace last weekend, but added a Higdon-style fast finish. (Like a 3/1 Higdon LR.) I'll do my LRs at Hansons paces through the base building period.
I am brand spanking new to formal speed work, so I wanted to test out the 5k pace intervals before plunging into 12x400 in Week 6, as I thought that might be diving into the deep end. Plus, I have an HM Jan 6 that I'd like to perform well in, so I figured adding speed work sooner rather than later would be good for that.
So, I am also doing a speed work out each week during these base building weeks 3-5, but I am easing in to them by doing fewer repeats than are called for later. For my first speed work out last week, I did 8x400 (3200 m total), then this week I did 7x600 (4200 m total). Next week I'll do 5 x 800 (4000 m). The first official speed workout is in week 6, which will be 12x400, and then all the speed workouts are about 5000 m of repeats, so that is what I am gearing up for. So far, I have completed the workouts just fine, and I think I'll be fine with the longer ones, too, once I get to them. Keeping an even pace is hard, and these shorter workouts are helping me learn what my 5k pace feels like as well as teaching me to slow down sufficiently during the recovery intervals.
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned, but the book does offer a schedule adaptation for a race at the end of week 7. My HM is exactly at this time (total coincidence! it was meant to be!), and although the schedule suggests a 5k or 10k, I am modifying the weeks 7 & 8 similar to what the book suggests for the race, with a bit more cutting back the week before and days after since the HM is a longer distance.
So, anyway, so far, so good for me.
I really think the book is great, BTW.

Training Plan Right Now: Hansons Brothers Beginner Marathon Plan
They actually say that new marathoners (like yourself) should be leaning more towards a 10k pace instead of a 5k pace when doing the intervals and to do them all. Faster and more seasoned marathoners can typically run speed intervals at 5k pace without fading. The point is to be able to perform each and every interval at the same pace and not slow down on the later sets or skip them all together.
The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

Just to answer the OP question as I am late to this party and not going to read through the 7 pages of posts...
I have used the purchased plan (16 week, 65-80 mpw) from the Hanson website for my last two marathons with very good results. First time I dropped the mileage by roughly 10% because I didn't think I was ready for the suggested mileage. Dropped my marathon PR from 3:35 (2009) to 3:21 (2011) with the asterik that this was over a 2 year span as my 2010 marathon was Chicago and we all know how that went...
Next cycle I stuck with the plan after averaging around 50 mpw for the 1st half of the year. Dropped the 3:21 (Philly 2011) to a 3:13 (Chicago 2012) and finished feeling very strong.
I plan on using it again to train for my first April marathon.
I should have made a list. But here are a few that come to mind.

Where do they say that (about 10k pace instead of 5k pace)? I missed that! Can you give me a chapter or page #? I must have spaced out!
Do I still count as new if I this is my third? (I am new here, but have been running for 28 months. This is my third marathon.)
I am only doing the reduced volume of repeats during these EXTRA sessions not actually prescribed during these first base building weeks (which don't prescribe any pace-specified runs). I plan and expect to be fully ready for the full prescribed sessions as soon as they are actually called for in the plan (week 6, two weeks from now.) I just wanted to get the hang of doing them before the first official session.
So far, I'm not fading during the intervals at all. Actually, I start too fast and have to adjust my pace to stay near the prescribed pace (generally still ending up 5-8 sec/min too fast, which I am working on.) Each repeat is totally solid so far, no fading at the end. Final intervals tend to be even more too fast than earlier ones. So, I think I can handle the 5k repeats. If I can handle the 5k pace, is there a reason for me to do them slower?
Drink up moho's!!
I remember as well the book saying for newer runners to target the 10K pace but I don't have the book with me to tell you which section. Most likely it will be in the section talking about speed work.
I remember as well the book saying for newer runners to target the 10K pace but I don't have the book with me to tell you which section. Most likely it will be in the section talking about speed work.
Hmm, I really can't locate this tidbit during my reveiw of the speed sections of the book. In fact, all of the charts on pp 59-65 prescribe just a single pace for either a 5k goal or a 10k goal (with the 5k and 10k goals being roughly equivalent, as in the 10k slightly slower), and then pace (they present it as a set time for the given distance) equates to precisely 5k pace when you extrapolate it. (Since I don't run on a measured track, I actually find the 5k pace number easier to use for a guide, since that is a metric easily tracked on my Garmin, so I can use the pace as my guide for the intervals and push my button at .25 miles or .37 or whatever, and know that even if I am off by 10 seconds in the distance of the interval (due to the imprecision of .01 miles), I am fairly on track with the pace itself, and I can watch that as I run . . . If you look at 1600 pace chart on p 65, you can see that the pace is the 5k time that you plugged into the charts to begin with, lol. (This is give or take a few seconds, as my running is slow enough, and my paces imprecise enough, that I'm not sweating the effot to calculate it down to the very second using meters/miles conversions . . . So, don't take my word for this if precision is vital to you.)
I think the book prescribes 5k pace (actually written as "goal 5k") for all the speed repeats, at both Beginner and Advanced levels.
FWIW, I think the Beginner Hansons plan is more equivalent to an Advanced-Intermediate Higdon plan. I think anyone trying it would be wise to have a base of at least 30 mpw and a comfort with LRs of 12-15 miles. I think jumping in to it with much less than that would be rough (at least it would have been for me!) I know the book tells me I could/should do the Advanced plan with my background, but I think that'd be too much of a stretch for me, even with a reasonable 35 mpw base for a couple past months and two marathons under my belt, let alone for someone with less mileage . . . I don't think I'd have been ready for it for my first marathon, for sure. Then again, I wasn't ready for my first marathon using my Higdon plan either, lol, so maybe Hansons would have been better for me, but I'd have needed more volume than I was strong enough for, so I guess I'd have simply had to wait for my first marathon if I wanted to use Hansons for it . . . I'm glad I'm past that stage!
I don't have my book handy but I did find this in and article about the Manson Marathon plan,
The difference is that the speed workouts total three miles of fast work at between 5K and 10K pace —"We usually tell everyone 10K, because they wind up going faster anyway"
That was Kevin Hanson's quote.
What do you guys think of going by HR for pace on the Moderate Long Runs and the MP Tempo runs?
Daniels tables show 78% of max HR for their moderate aerobic level and that lines up well for me right now on Hanson's tables. They show a 9:29 recommended pace for my moderate aerobic long runs and I ran 12 miles yesterday at an avg pace of 9:32 and avg HR of 77%.
I'm going to start out with an 8:45 MP Tempo pace and Daniels tables are showing 84% of max HR for a marathon. I'm thinking I could target that 84% as the max HR on my MP Tempo runs for now.
The reason I'm thinking of doing this is I'm hoping as I continue to train more and add more volume, I will get in better shape and be able to run faster at the same HR. If I set 78% of my max HR as my target for my moderate aerobic long run then I can adjust my pace down if I do get in better shape. Instead of sticking to a 9:30 pace for the next 4 months, and my HR dropping down to say 75% on the long runs, I would bump the pace up as I go to maybe 9:15 pace and keep my HR at 78% on the long runs. I would do the same thing on the MP Tempo runs, if I end up where I can run an 8:45 pace Tempo run without getting my HR to 84%, I'll drop the pace a little.
Any thoughts on this? Other than the fact that I'm making this way too complicated for my first marathon!
Thanks, Nathan

Current PR's: Mara 3:14:36* (2017); HM 1:36:13 (2017); 10K 43:59 (2014); 5K 21:12 (2016)
Regarding using HR for the pace of runs . . .
I have been wondering about this, too!
I think it really comes down to just how much you trust the Daniels (or whoever) HR zones (and whatever underlying data you have used to get the zones. How reasonable is your race goal? Do you have recent race times to use as a basis for it? Better yet, do you also have HR data for the recent race times to validate your fancy HR zones/charts with -- making sure that your actual race HR from recent races is actually IN the zones they are thinking it should be?
I am looking at my own HR data from the last few runs (on my training log), and if I believed my HR caluclations from the spreadsheet found here: http://mymarathonpace.com/Running_Calculators.html, then that means I can run a HELL of a lot faster than I have been.
I used to run with a HR monitor religiously, but then went 6 months without it when the last one crapped out. When I used it a year ago and first did those calculations (above), my training experience closely reflected the calculations. I ran my races right in the low end of the calculated zones. (Which I would presume is to be expected since my race total TIMES are longer than the speedier runners that likely make up the bulk of the data sets for these calculators.)
BUT, now I have a HR monitor again, and my HR is much lower at similar paces than it used to be. This makes sense since I have trained a lot (and run two marathons) since the last time I had a HR monitor . . .
But, the chart is now telling me that my 9:46 HM pace run the other day had me at a HR in the LOW END of my MARATHON zone. Holy crap. My recent PR on the marathon was a good 90ish seconds slower than that. There is no way I could have done anything close to 9:46 for a marathon. I am even skeptical that I can pull it off for my HM in 3 weeks. (Which is why I was testing it out the other day. My PR is 10:00 for a HM, and I was intending to test out 10:00, but I ended up faster, and my HR was so low that I kept at it. This week I am going to test 9:30. If it doesn't kill me, I might use that as my HM goal pace.)
Similarly, the HR zones tell me that my working LR pace of 11:30 is too slow (by half a notch in the zones, it was several beats into the Easy zone.) So, I really don't have enough HR data on my recent training and races to trust the charts yet. These LRs at 11:30 have felt pretty easy, but I struggle to imagine that any faster is realistic for me, given that would mean I'd be expecting to run a marathon faster than my current working goal (4:45) which already sounds like a solid challenge to me based on recent experience.
So, for me, I won't trust the HR Zone data to notch up my training paces unless and until I have race data to back it up, or at least a lot of tempo miles that feel great. I mean, if you can run 10 miles at Race pace and feel fresh and good after the workout, then that race pace is probably conservative, right?
My current thinking is that either I have gotten lazy and too comfortable running comfortably . . . OR those HR zones in my fancy chart are no longer applying well to me for some mysterious reason. (My RHR and MaxHR are still valid, and so I can't imagine why things would have changed so much . . .) So, probably I am lazy. I guess I will find out soon enough (Jan 6 HM) if I have more juice in these legs than I have been using . . .
I really have no idea what makes sense, lol. Sorry if all that rambling was totally useless.
It makes sense to me.
My HR seems to line up pretty good on my half marathon races. It shows 87% of max HR for half marathon which is 169 for me and my 2 half marathons have been at 169 and 168 avg HR. Of course the first miles were a little below that and the last few miles were way above that, but the avg worked out to what they are showing.
My HR doesn't seem to match up quite as well on the shorter distances, I guess I'm a wimp and not pushing hard enough long enough on those. My PR 5K was at 90% of max when the tables show you should be able to run a 5K at 95% of max.
For now I'm just sticking with the paces in Hanson's tables, I'll just be comparing my HR to the tables and only adjusting if it seems like those paces are too slow. I'm sticking with 70% of max HR for my easy runs the rest of the week and no idea on the intervals, I'm just going to run those at the recommended paces based on my original goal for the speedwork for sure. I guess I can adjust the strength portion later if my fitness level indicates I need to.
I should have made a list. But here are a few that come to mind.

Autism Society of the Panhandle
Pensacola, FL
Kids for Camp Summer Learning Lab
The aim of this proposal is to provide ongoing and supervised teacher training during summer camp. This is the expansion of a successful program that provides a day camp environment for students with ASD where they can work on social and academic skills. Many of the coaches and teachers for the camp are employed as classroom teachers during the school year. The camp offers behavioral based training under the supervision of a BCBA to teachers before camp starts. Once camp is in session the teachers work with the children under the supervision of the behavioral consultant. The result is two fold, the students with ASD can continue to develop skills and avoid substantial regression over the summer months, and the classroom teachers have been provided with six weeks of hands on training to more effectively educate students with ASD during the school year.
Significance for people with autism:The grant proposes to expand the number of trained teachers in the Pensacola area and provide extended school year services to students with ASD. This is a model that could be replicated in other areas of the country.

Foundation for Educating Children with Autism
Mt. Kisco, NY
Vocational Training Education Program
The Vocational Training Education Program at Devereux Millwood Learning Center (DMLC) teaches students to obtain and retain salaried employment in the general community upon graduation. The staff and parents at DMLC believe, and research has shown, that people with autism can function independently at jobs that are suited to their strengths and abilities, as long as the specific tasks involved in the job are taught to mastery criterion. To match students' abilities with vocational opportunities, the parents and staff complete a vocational preference inventory. This inventory serves to evaluate what type of job the student would enjoy, as well as what type of job the student has the ability to perform. Once this assessment is complete, a job that matches the criteria is found. Students learn their vocational skills at many community non-profits organizations such as FoodBank, SPCA, Muscular Dystrophy Association and The American Red Cross where volunteerism plays an important role.
Significance for people with autism: Strong collaborations with non-profit organizations and the ability to provide a successful roadmap for employment opportunities for individuals with ASD.

Exit interview: Kobe Bryant says Lakers' failed title run was a 'wasted year of my life'
Kobe Bryant is never much for sentimentality, and he's not going to change any time soon.
So when he reflected Wednesday on the Lakers' underachieving 2010-2011 season, which included being swept in a Western Conference semifinal series, Bryant didn't mince words on his disappointment.
"It was a wasted year of my life," he said in his exit interview.

Genre: Mystery Adventure
Release Date: November 2004
Platform: PC
Note: Originally published 28 January 2005
Remedy is the first adventure game offering from the husband and wife team of Mikeal and Eleen Nyqvist from Norrkoping, Sweden.
It is a delightful game which I had a lot of fun playing. But, most impressively, Mikeal and Eleen have given us the Adventure Game for Anyone – anyone can enjoy playing it, anyone could have experienced it and anyone could have created it.
The music and sound effects are not spectacular, but just as good as most of the stuff on the store shelves.
The voice acting is very good. The average American male's image of Sweden, if he has one at all, is of the Swedish Bikini Team and The Muppet's Swedish Chef. You can see from the screen shots that no money was wasted on super models. And the voices fit the people. No great dramatics. No Shakespearian delivery. No "bork, bork, bork." Just what you would expect to see and hear from people in the neighborhood.
And yes, I have visited both England and Sweden and this is how the people really talk.
A solid B for sound.
Playability was good.
First, I usually had no problem figuring out what to do next. You interview someone, they mention another person and suddenly a new location opens up on your map. There are only a couple of times towards the end of the game where it's not obvious what needs to be done and I found myself revisiting everyplace just to see what would shake loose. I'm sure some people enjoy that type of game play and it isn't used enough ruin it for the rest of us.
Second, the story opens up one clue at a time just as it should in a good detective story. This kept my interest up throughout the game. This, unfortunately, is not the norm in adventure games and the Nyqvists deserve a solid B for their superior effort.
Remedy is a delightful game. It is neither fancy nor fanciful, but it delivers a solid story in a solid way. It left me feeling that it could really have happened to me and that it might be within my power to create a professional game as well.
My concluding thoughts were, "That was nice. May I have another, please?"
Final Grade: B

Equipoise can produce androgenic side effects such as acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. However, the overall androgenicity of this steroid is greatly reduced due to the structural nature that creates EQ in its double bond at the carbon one and two position. Such side effects of Equipoise are still possible, but they will be strongly linked to genetic predisposition, but most will find the threshold is fairly high.
When combating the possible androgenic side effects of Equipoise, it's important to note they are brought on by the steroid being metabolized by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. This metabolism will reduce Boldenone to an extremely potent androgen in dihydroboldenone, far more potent than dihydrotestosterone (DHT); however, the total dihydroboldenone activity has proven to be extremely low in human beings. You will further find the androgenic nature of Boldenone will not be significantly affected by 5-alpha reductase inhibitors like Finasteride that are often used to combat the reduction to DHT.
Due to the androgenic nature of Equipoise, women may potentially experience virilization symptoms. Virilization symptoms may include body hair growth, a deepening of the vocal chords and clitoral enlargement. However, the low androgenicity will make this steroid possible to use for some women without such symptoms. At the same time, the extremely slow acting nature of the compound can make it difficult to control regarding blood levels, and alternative steroids may be preferred. Without question, individual sensitivity will dictate a lot. If Equipoise is used and virilization symptoms begin to show, use should be discontinued immediately at their onset and they will fade away. If symptoms begin to show and are ignored, the symptoms may become irreversible.

Lockheed P-38 Lightning
The Plane that Changed the Course of History!
Quite a bold statement, true. But as you visit this website dedicated to the P‑38 Lockheed Lightning, I'm pretty sure you'll agree that we never would have won WWII without the help of this extraordinary aircraft.
Contrary to what some think, the P‑38 was not just a fighter, although it was the fighter of choice for many pilots, including the top "Aces" of the war. But, the P‑38 was so versatile it could also be a bomber (carrying high explosive and incendiary bomb loads), a photo reconnaissance plane and a state-of-the-art radar escort.
There's very little it couldn't do. It flew at amazing speed and altitude for its time, faster and higher than any other.
The sight of a P‑38 Lockheed Lightning so terrified the enemy that the Luftwaffe dubbed it the "der gabelschwanz-teufel" (fork-tailed devil). Guess they knew there'd be hell to pay if a P‑38 crossed their path!
More about the 38's versatility later, but let's start at the beginning...
One of the perks of creating this website is that I get to do this:
Dedicated to my Dad,
P‑38 pilot Edwin C. Baquet

With the announcement late Sunday night of the remaining spots on the 2011 U.S. Walker Cup team, the brief but brilliant amateur career of St. Louisan Scott Langley ended a few weeks earlier than he had hoped.
Despite a solid rally at the U.S. Amateur at Erin Hills, that included a magnificent 63 on the second day of stroke play, Langley could not erase in the USGA committee's mind the struggle that has characterized much of his 2011 year.
Langley will look to the fall, as a professional for the first time, as he pursues a career in tournament golf. He leaves behind a list of accomplishments that places him among the elite in St. Louis golf history. His stretch of golf from late May through June in 2010 may be the most dominant in St. Louis Amateur golf history.
As Langley looks to his professional career, and the eventual destination of the PGA Tour, he does so with the best credentials any St. Louis amateur has ever assembled — and equal to those of Jay Haas had when he crossed over to the professional ranks.
Some will say the quality of talent at the top of the professional ranks today compares unfavorably to the mid-'70's of Haas' rookie year (count me in that group). No one would challenge the breadth of talent today in professional golf is greater than ever before. Winning may still be as difficult on the PGA Tour as then, but getting there is a far steeper hill to climb.
One could argue that making it to the PGA Tour, as Langley one day hopes to do, is an attempt to join the most elite club in all of professional sports. Nearly 1700 players will fill out NFL rosters this fall. Major League Baseball counts their ranks in excess of 700. The NHL sends more than 600 over the boards each year, and even the NBA, with the smallest team rosters, totals more than 300.
The PGA Tour admits only 125 players annually to the all-exempt list and fills in the remaining spots in the fields with roughly 30 semi-regulars. Just to crack that bottom of the pack list a player needs to survive three stages of qualifying, bettering hundreds of dreamers each year and enduring the most stressful tournament at any level, the final qualifying tournament. Tour School, as it is inappropriately known, is not a classroom but a torture chamber, which for most is not a Field of Dreams but a week of Failed Dreams.
Even if Langley should successfully survive against a now world of players with the same ambitions — and in most cases the same talent — he will only have a one year pass to ride the bus unless he proves to be better than some of those top 125. Golf has no guaranteed contracts. There is no arbitration process after mediocre seasons.
Tiger Woods has won more than 70 times in his career but that didn't get him into the FedEx series. He has fourteen majors on his shelf and he likely will miss next year's WGC Match Play Championship and probably Doral. You don't get traded, waived or picked up as a free agent if you don't perform in golf. You just have to find somewhere else to play.
What Langley showed a year ago in his season of amateur glory is he has the package of skills to compete on golf's biggest stage. What he showed at Erin Hills is he may have the resiliency and drive to overcome the inevitable lows that are part of the game. He climbed the ranks of the Big Ten in four years at the University of Illinois. He climbed to 5th in the world a summer ago. He has shown he can climb, which is important, because a career in professional golf is about constantly climbing and realizing there is, for almost all, no top.
Dan Reardon is Golf Editor at KMOX. He can be heard throughout the week on America's Sports Voice.
