Under the Surface: Fracking, Fortunes, and the Fate of the Marcellus Shale – Book Salon Preview

Under the Surface: Fracking, Fortunes, and the Fate of the Marcellus Shale
Chat with Tom Wilber about his new book. Hosted by Steve Horn.
Running from southern West Virginia through eastern Ohio, across central and northeast Pennsylvania, and into New York through the Southern Tier and the Catskills, the Marcellus Shale formation underlies a sparsely populated region that features striking landscapes, critical watersheds, and a struggling economic base. It also contains one of the world's largest supplies of natural gas, a resource that has been dismissed as inaccessible—until recently. Technological developments that combine horizontal drilling with hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") have removed physical and economic barriers to extracting hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of gas from bedrock deep below the Appalachian basin. Beginning in 2006, the first successful Marcellus gas wells by Range Resources, combined with a spike in the value of natural gas, spurred a modern-day gold rush—a "gas rush"—with profound ramifications for environmental policy, energy markets, political dynamics, and the lives of the people living in the Marcellus region. Under the Surface is the first book-length journalistic overview of shale gas development and the controversies surrounding it.
Control over drilling rights is at stake in the heart of Marcellus country—northeast Pennsylvania and central New York. The decisions by landowners to work with or against the companies—and the resulting environmental and economic consequences—are scrutinized by neighbors faced with similar decisions, by residents of cities whose water supply originates in the exploration area, and by those living across state lines with differing attitudes and policies concerning extraction industries. Wilber's evenhanded treatment gives a voice to all constituencies, including farmers and landowners tempted by the prospects of wealth but wary of the consequences, policymakers struggling with divisive issues, and activists coordinating campaigns based on their respective visions of economic salvation and environmental ruin. Wilber describes a landscape in which the battle over the Marcellus ranges from the very local—yard signs proclaiming landowners' allegiances for or against shale gas development—to often conflicting municipal, state, and federal legislation intended to accelerate, delay, or discourage exploration.
For millions of people with a direct stake in shale gas exploration in the Marcellus or any number of other emerging shale resources in the United States and worldwide, or for those concerned about the global energy outlook, Under the Surface offers a worthwhile and engaging look at the issues.
Tom Wilber, a journalist, author, and teacher, has spent years interviewing key players and local residents on all sides of the controversial issue of developing the country's energy supplies through the controversial process of high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking." He worked as a reporter covering business, health, and environmental issues for Gannett Corporation's Central New York Newspaper Group (including the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin) for seventeen years. He is now a freelance journalist and blogger for Shale Gas Review, tomwilber.blogspot.com. (Cornell University Press)

This important book focuses on the promotion, coordination, and financing of health care services for poor and uninsured people. Sharing information on strategies and programs that really work, Health Care for the Poor and Uninsured is full of much-needed guidance and encouragement for professionals struggling to provide accessible and affordable health care services to these groups. It describes techniques to promote access to health services, innovative approaches to public/private collaboration in the delivery of services, financial strategies of health maintenance organizations, and the formation of foundations to fund health care delivery. Although the studies in the book are of successful programs for pregnant women, infants, and children, groups often in the greatest need, the strategies incorporated by these programs are easily adapted to serve other populations. Some of the topics addressed in this informative guide include: effective use of nurse practitioners and midwives to provide prenatal care a description of referral systems which promotes the coordination of public and private sectors hospital financial support of state screening programs aggressive outreach programs to reach special populations factors influencing family selection of a health care provider new approaches to funding long-term care the use of outreach clinics and a coordinated referral system. Professionals interested in developing effective programs to help alleviate the nation's health care problems will find Health Care for the Poor and Uninsured a useful tool with which to start. Social workers, nurses, physicians, health care administrators, and students of these professions can make informed suggestions and decisions on strategies for delivering health care services to the poor and uninsured from this practical book.METHODS The Mississippi State Department of Health Genetic Screening Program began in 1982 with hospitals joining ... to technician error or lack of information on the lab slip, the hospital is charged an additional $12.75 for the repeat test.

Energy Saving Tip: Shade Your Air Conditioner For Up To A 10% Efficiency Improvement
Another Reason To Love Trees: Energy Efficiency
Planting a shade tree with just the right height and "habit" to keep the mid-day sun away from your air conditioner's out door compressor unit is an energy saver.
If you have an air conditioner, shading the unit can increase its efficiency by as much as 10%.Via::USDOE, Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Lab, Consumers Guide, Landscape Shading.Multiply The Benefits Here's how to make it a triple win. Plant a native nut tree or shrub - in all of the eastern US states and Canadian provinces, American Hazel Nut is a good candidate [species range map viewable at this link] - for food, shade, and even a little carbon sequestration.
Note: if you are interested in hazel nuts or "filberts" and happen not to live where native American varieties are found you may still be able buy the locally adapted young plants for bare-root mail delivery in the fall or spring - under $20/each.
European/American hybrids are available: some are bushes; and some varieties are more tree-like.
Position carefully with respect to the air conditioner and mid-day sun: hazel bushes are generally 10–12 feet tall and can be up to 6–8 feet across at maturity.
Every nation has native shrubs and small trees that could be suitable. What are you waiting for? Get your 10%.

Crude oil prices have a direct effect on gasoline prices at the pump. Other factors that cause prices to vary between different retailers are volume purchased, delivery method, the retailer's contract terms with their supplier and whether or not the company sells under the brand name of a refiner.Continue Reading
Supply and demand is the primary factor that influences the price of crude oil, which forms the bedrock of retail gasoline prices. As of March 2015, prices are unusually low as Saudi Arabia has been dumping oil on the market in an attempt to combat increased production in the United States.
At the retail end, a number of factors determine where individual gas stations set prices. Stations that sell under a refiner's brand name generally have higher costs in return for the refiner's signage, marketing and proprietary fuel blends. These stations may also pay a higher price for direct deliveries from the refiner. Retailers who own multiple locations and can purchase in high volume may also get better deals from the refiner, translating into lower prices at the pump. The terms of the retailer's contract with the refiner may also influence the price paid regardless of current crude oil market conditions.Learn more about Geography

It was the height of World War II and an immediate question was if the fire was arson or otherwise intentionally set as an act of sabotage. Investigations quickly led to discounting an intentionally set fire, and the following concepts where investigated to address the ignition source and rapid fire spread. Ultimately, while considered accidental in nature, the official cause of the fire as indicated in the Commissioner report from the Boston Fire Department is "unknown."
Alcohol: Fumes from the breaths of drinkers and from open containers as a cause of the fire was suggested in some area newspapers. Moulton, in his Report of the fire, said "Evaporation from drinks on tables in sufficient quantity to furnish a flammable mixture is not theoretically possible unless the liquor is served straight and warm which is contrary to practice in such places. Ethyl alcohol in 50% concentration by volume, which is about maximum of any ordinary liquor, does not produce flammable vapors except at temperatures above approximately 85 degrees F.
The busboy: Initially, the ignition source was thought to be the bus boy. Stanley Tomaszewski, 16 years of age, in questioning by the police, indicated that he had struck a match to see to try to screw in a light bulb in one of the artificial palm trees in the Melody Lounge. Tomaszewski did not see the fire start. Testimony from witnesses were conflicting--some said the fire started in the palm tree, others said they saw flames breaking out on the cloth covering the ceiling, while it was also reported that the walls had been hot for some time. With unanswered questions on other possible sources of ignition such as the electrical wiring, Tomaszewski was absolved of any guilt by the authorities, but he was always assumed guilty by many of the public.
Ceiling tile adhesive: Post-fire photographs show that there had been ceiling tiles in the new Broadway Lounge. Francis L. Brannigan, a noted fire safety expert, said in a 1991 letter to the NFPA Journal, that there was a history of the fixative for holding up ceiling tiles has been documented as a significant contributing factor of many various disastrous fires. In the past, when renovations were made, the old ceilings were just covered up by new ones, retaining the hazardous properties.
Electrical wiring: Electrical work done in the Melody Lounge three years prior to the fire and to the new Broadway Lounge in the two months prior to the fire, was done by Raymond Bear, a pipefitter who was not licensed as an electrician. Baer was interviewed and admitted that he had performed electrical work in the Cocoanut Grove in October and November of 1942, installing electrical fixtures in the new Broadway Lounge. He also said that there was no permit issued for the electrical contracting.
In the interviews of survivors, Joseph Francis Kelley, a building constructor, testified that he saw a momentary flash of flame. "The smoke was thick and oily." "The fire preceded the smoke." To the question did the fire come "along with great rapidity?", Kelley said "As if blown by a fan." "A strata of air was under the smoke." When asked if he could give an opinion as a building construction man as to the cause of the fire, Kelley said: "It could only have been caused by a short circuit under the bar in the Melody Lounge. There was a series of Neon tubing running the length of the bar. In my opinion a short circuit would spread down through and cause the wiring to set up spontaneous combustion. I never saw anything get going so sudden. There was so much smoke. But whatever happened happened awful fast." He went on to testify, "The flame I saw I know the nature of the composition. It was definitely a gaseous flame and it was completely combusted. It was like an illuminating gas flame. Blue with red tinges. Definitely blue."
Flame proofing chemicals: Flame proofing materials were suspected as being a source of toxic gases. However, symptoms reported by survivors were not consistent with ammonia fumes from the flame proofing, although today some of the conclusions immediately following the fire are being questioned based on modern forensic techniques.
Nitrocellulose: Before it had been transformed into a nightclub, one of the businesses in the original building was that of a film exchange. Nitrate (nitro-cellulose) film was used for motion pictures and was highly combustible. Some people raised the idea that leftover film from the 1930's had been stored in the Grove. No evidence of film was found, and a letter from A.S. Dickinson of the Motion Picture Producers & Distributors of America, to the NFPA stated that Paramount had moved out of the building in 1935. He said that it was "inconceivable to conclude that a scrap of film had been left in the exchange and after nearly eight years, suddenly caught on fire …".
The artificial leather, used in some of the decorations, contains some nitrocellulose in the form of pyroxylin, but the artificial leather used in the club tested too low a percentage of pyroxylin to have been a factor.
Refrigerant gas: Initially, gases used in refrigerating units was discounted on the basis that those gases commonly used were not so flammable as to produce a flash fire such as what was observed. Even though some refrigerant gases are toxic, it would have been too much of a coincidence for the tubing in the units to break down just as the fire started.In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the theory of refrigerant gas as a significant contributing factor with the fire. Jack Deady, Jr. spent most of his life studying the fire, and he confirmed that methyl chloride, not Freon, was the gas used in the refrigerating units at the Cocoanut Grove. This re-introduced the possibility that the gas may have leaked out and was ignited. Deady did noteworthy investigative research on this theory before he died. Two interviews with him in 2007 fully expand on his theory. Deady and Charles Kenney, Jr. collaborated on developing this theory. Deady's research and papers are in a private collection; Kenney's papers are at the Boston Public Library.

Urs and Marianne Schildknecht immigrated to Canada in 1979 as a young couple from Switzerland. Urs has the flying bug. After obtaining his commercial pilot's licence in Switzerland his first job took him to Libya to fly a Pilatus Turbo Porter in the oilfields of North Africa. This taught him a great deal about operating airplanes in harsh climates and allowed the Schildknechts to save money to start their own air charter business on April Fool's Day 1981 in Fort Liard, NWT.
Marianne and Urs lived for 5 years in this remote community while the Liard Highway was being built. The experience of witnessing the transformation of a community which was only accessible by air to road access was remarkable. Urs and Marianne made many good friends in the local community. After successfully operating the Air Charter business in the NWT, getting to know many of the great fly-in fishing lakes in the area, Marianne and Urs decided to develop a fly-in fishing business. They found the Highland Glen Lodge on Muncho Lake (Mile 462 Alaska Highway). This unique property would make an ideal base for their floatplanes to continue flying into the Nahanni and to access the fish and game rich Northern Rocky Mountains.
After Marianne and Urs purchased the Highland Glen Lodge late in 1988, they soon realized that the existing buildings no longer met the expectations of many Alaska Highway travelers and growing number of fly-in fishing guests. The paving of the Alaska Highway was completed in 1992. Vast improvements to the highway conditions changed travel patterns. Taking advantage of this unique opportunity, Marianne and Urs decided to build the new 14,000 square foot Northern Rockies Lodge in 1995 which to this day is the largest year round hotel and RV operation outside of any town on the Alaska Highway.
Urs' passion for flying in this beautiful and remote country is as strong as ever. 2017 marked Urs' 42nd year of being a pilot. He loves showing his guests from the comfort of his floatplanes, the beauty of Nahanni National Park and the Northern Rocky Mountains. Marianne and Urs have two sons, Daniel and Michael. Daniel completed a 3 year chef apprenticeship in Adelboden, Switzerland. As parents, Marianne and Urs are proud to see Daniel taking over the reins of the Northern Rockies Lodge kitchen. Michael is an electrician apprentice in Fort St. John, who often comes up over the weekends to help in the family business.
Marianne and Urs thrive on taking on the challenges of operating in the North and turning them into opportunities. They would like to thank their countless guests over the last three and a half decades for helping make Northern Rockies Lodge one of the most successful businesses on the Alaska Highway. Urs, Marianne and Daniel look forward to sharing their paradise on Muncho Lake with their friends and guests for many more years to come!
Over the last 3+ decades Marianne and Urs' exclusive fly-in fishing business has attracted guests from all over the world. Many of whom have annually returned ever since their first trip. The Northern Rocky Mountains are truly the last untouched fishing destination in North America. There are over 70 lakes and streams for our guests to choose from! Each offering a unique fly or spin casting fishing experience in the natural splendor of the Northern Rocky Mountains. Urs' modern fleet of turbo prop powered floatplanes offers the only access to this vast and virtually unexplored fishing territory.

To celebrate the approach of the Grand Tour season Condor Cycles in London is hosting a book signing evening featuring two of cycling's most respected writers.
On Wednesday 12th May, William Fotheringham and Graeme Fife will be at the Gray's Inn Road, London store from 5.30 - 7.30pm to sign copies of their latest books. Both authors have written several publications about the Grand Tours and the stories and personalities behind them as well as pieces for Rouleur magazine. Signed copies of their previous books will also be available in store for purchase.
William Fotheringham is the Guardian's cycling correspondent. His in-depth examination into cyclists' fascination with the British Tour de France rider Tom Simpson - Put Me Back On My Bike - has been superbly followed up with the first specifically targeted biography of Fausto Coppi for English speakers. Fallen Angel tells the story of Italy's most popular sportsman and his scandal-filled life and tragic death.
Graeme Fife, a former teacher, has a diverse portfolio of books, articles, radio work and plays. Fife's revised book, Tour de France: the History, the Legend, the Riders, paints a picture of the world's toughest sporting event from someone on the inside and why the race inspires such passion among cyclists. His book, The Beautiful Machine, is a witty celebration of the bicycle and of the people who ride and with whom Fife has ridden.
"We're really excited to be joined in-store by not one but two best-selling authors," commented Condor store manager Greg Needham. "It's a chance for our customers to find out more about both people whose passion for cycling has seeded some fantastic books and articles."

What is the future of e‑learning?
Here at dreamm, we're celebrating!
This month is our 10th birthday, which means we've been developing and designing e-learning solutions for a decade.
A lot has changed in the e-learning world over this time and, as a team, we strive to keep up to date with the very latest developments to bring our clients the best possible service. Since we've reached this milestone, we thought it was an opportune time to reflect on the past 10 years and look to see what the next 10 have in store for our industry.
1. Going mobile
Ten years ago no one had heard of an iPhone. Now jump on any train and most passengers will be staring at their smartphone or tablet. The popularity of handheld devices has led to the development of m-learning or mobile learning; giving learners access to e-learning programmes and material no matter where they are.
While we can't predict the future, what we can be sure of is that technological advancements will continue to open more doors for m-learning solutions. Learners could soon take their mobile device into the field, put training into practice and overcome challenges in a more hands-on environment.
2. Play the game
The emergence of online gaming has also influenced the world of e-learning. People love the competitive side of games, completing challenges, overcoming obstacles and seeing instant rewards. Developers have taken these aspects of gaming to create exciting gamification e-learning solutions.
We expect the interactive elements of games will be used to a greater degree in e-learning in the coming years. Gamification will involve more developed characters, challenges and scenarios; blurring the lines of formal and informal learning. Not only will learners enjoy the training process, they will be able to track their progress and retain information more efficiently.
3. Get connected
These days, the world is connected and e-learning developers are taking advantage of it. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), usually free, can be taken by millions of people from across the globe.
MOOCs could dramatically change the education system. Soon you will be able to take the same course as people from around the world, working through material with your classmate in Australia. This could revolutionise the education centre, moving the classroom online. Last year Georgia Tech launched the first ever completely MOOC computer science degree. Is this a sign of things to come?
4. Virtual reality
This might start to sound like something out of a sci-fi film, but if you look how far technology has come in the last 10 years, it could soon be a possibility. Google Glass and other visual technologies have already opened the door to create a completely immersive learning experience.
As advancements in multimodal software and devices continue, you could soon be able to incorporate all five senses into an e-learning programme. Imagine being able to virtually taste and smell a cooking programme!
5. Customised experience
Big Data refers to the data created by a learner during an e-learning course or training module. Everything from test results to social media activity can be analysed to ensure learners get the most out of the programme.
We believe the development of Big Data could help create a more personalised experience for learners. An individual's progress could be traced so e-learning professionals can see which strategies are proving successful and adapt a programme to suit a learner's skill set.
dreamming for another 10 years
Whatever the future holds, e-learning solutions will continue to revolutionise the way organisations train their employees and we are thrilled to be a part of it.
Here's to another 10 years! Now, time for another piece of cake.

Geneva, Mar 8, 2017: A new exhibition "Transforming Lives: The Power of Human Rights Education," was launched on March 6 at the Palais des Nations, home of the United Nations Office at Geneva.
On display until March 17, the exhibition raises awareness of the role of human rights education in promoting dignity, equality and peace, and preventing human rights violations and abuses. It marks the fifth anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training in December 2011.
The exhibition is co-organized by Soka Gakkai International (SGI), HRE 2020, the NGO Working Group on Human Rights Education and Learning, and the states comprising the Platform for Human Rights Education and Training (Brazil, Costa Rica, Italy, Morocco, the Philippines, Senegal, Slovenia, Switzerland and Thailand), with thanks to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Panels can be viewed here.
At the opening, Permanent Representative of Brazil to the United Nations Office at Geneva Ambassador Maria Nazareth Farani Azevêdo commented, "Human rights education and training are critical to achieving a society of peace, tolerance and sustainable development in which the human rights of all are respected, protected and fulfilled."
Abdulaziz Almuzaini, Director of the UNESCO Liaison Office in Geneva, added, "I wish to commend the organizers for their shared commitment to raising awareness and promoting action in support of human rights education around the world."
Hirotsugu Terasaki, SGI Director General of Peace & Global Issues, quoted SGI President Daisaku Ikeda, stating: "It has never been more important to create and solidify a movement for human rights education that will foster the social conditions in which people treasure human diversity and dignity."
Other speakers included Craig Mokhiber, Chief of the Development and Economic and Social Issues Branch of OHCHR, and Emma Melander Borg of the HRE 2020 global coalition for human rights education.
The 25-panel exhibition shows how human rights education has transformed the lives of people in Australia, Burkina Faso, Peru, Portugal and Turkey. It invites citizens, governments and civil society organizations to take action to nurture a culture of human rights.
SGI is a community-based Buddhist association with 12 million members around the world. Its members promote peace, culture and education as part of the long-standing tradition of Buddhist humanism.

There seems to be tremendous interest right now in the health effects of sugar in our diets. Many people say that it is sugar, rather than fat, that is leading people to be overweight. Documentaries like "Fed Up" talk about both the addictive nature of sugar and how the idea of "eating better and exercising more" makes little sense when the environment makes it practically impossible to eliminate sugar additives from your diet in the first place. No matter how hard you try, the deck is simply stacked against you, so the thinking goes. So 21 days ago I set ...
What should you #eat after a long run or ride to promote your recovery? Here are some suggestions in this week's short video. Eat up runners!

When your running schedule calls for a break, use the time off wisely.
Runners have a strange relationship with rest days. Early in the year, it's hard to get them to take a day off because they fear they'll lose momentum. Later in the year, when their training loads are heavier, those same runners might be grasping for days to take a break. But no matter how far along you are in your training, resting is important because it keeps fatigue from building up and lets the body lay a solid foundation for the work to come. Here are five things you can do to rest, refocus and relax when your running schedule calls for a rest day:
1. Take a yoga class.
Yoga offers great benefits to runners. For one, stretching and lengthening leg muscles undoes some of the damage caused by repetitively tightening those same muscles when running. Stretching in a structured class environment ensures you'll stretch your entire body, rather than just those trouble spots like your legs. Perhaps more important, yoga helps clear your head and focus on your breath. When practiced correctly, yoga combines a centering, clearing and calming environment with movement and balance exercises. Together, these factors make yoga the perfect rest day complement to your high-energy daily runs.
2. Reflect.
I've often wondered if I should change the name "rest days" on my running schedules to "focus days." Off days provide much needed time to think and reflect on your progress, your goals and your motivation for running. As the months wear on, failing to take a break to check in with yourself can ultimately lead you to a sad state called burnout. As a runner for nearly my entire life, I look forward to rest days to reflect on how I'm doing, talk with friends about their running and make sure things are on track for my season. Spending some time quietly reflecting on the joy of running goes a long way when it comes to recharging our mental batteries and allowing us to do more when we get back to it the next day.

Does running on a treadmill make you feel like a caged animal, spinning your wheels like a hamster, perhaps? Does it bore you and hamper results? While many runners have those feelings, the treadmill doesn't have to be such a drag. And, it's actually a powerful tool – when used correctly – to do some great indoor workouts.
Here are six tips for making the most of your time on the 'mill:
1. Set the incline to 1.5 to 2 percent.
Start by setting the incline on the treadmill to at least 1.5 percent. (Use 2 percent if your treadmill only increases the incline in full percentage points.) This is important because running on a flat treadmill reduces the effort substantially compared to running outside. This little bit of incline helps compensate for the lack of wind resistance and variation in outdoor ground surfaces that make running more challenging and "active" when you're outside.
2. Vary the pace and incline.
Architecting a good treadmill workout means changing the tempo and effort level. If you're running one pace for the whole workout, you're not giving yourself much of a workout. First, warm up for several minutes. Then, increase the pace every one or two minutes. When you really feel warmed up and ready to run, take the pace up to a challenging level for one to two minutes. Then, back it off for one minute to recover. Repeat that routine a few times, depending on the length of your workout. You can follow the same pattern with the incline to simulate hills. The intensity should be enough that you are counting down the time for the interval to end, but not so much that you risk falling behind the pace and potentially falling off the treadmill.

Ready to take on the new year with some running resolutions that will make you stronger and faster? By setting some simple goals for yourself, you can do just that. Here are four easy-to-monitor, year-long resolutions to get you started:
Nothing sharpens your racing skills better than getting out and doing it. In fact, too many runners have a yearly goal race and then are wracked with terrible nerves on race day. You can solve this problem by simply adding one race to your schedule every month. That way, you'll go through the process of registering, picking up your bib, getting dressed and racing once every four weeks. Not only will you get lots of practice, but you'll also get used to running under the pressure of competition. Don't worry: These can be local 5Ks or other low-key (even free) races. Something is better than nothing!
2. Reserve one day a week for stretching.
Runners should place a heavy emphasis on stretching and lengthening muscles to undo some of the tightening caused by running. A great way to do this is to set aside one day each week to stretch – and nothing else. The best thing to do is to take a yoga class on this day, but you can also just go to the gym and spend a good amount of your normal workout time (say, 45 to 60 minutes) stretching your body. Doing this will give you a nice, relaxing recovery day, too.

When sorting through the features of the latest generation of fitness devices, runners might pause and ask, "Do I need that?" I wondered just that myself this fall, when I noticed that a number of fitness trackers, including the new Microsoft Band, started including VO2 max as a metric.
Fitness devices are intended to improve our health and training performance by giving us useful information such as how fast our hearts are beating and how many calories we burn. But much of this information is only marginally helpful in shaping how we train. For example, although most of us understand the concept of calories, many of us don't eat solely to replenish the calories we burn in a workout. We may feel better about ourselves if we work off some of what we've eaten, but we don't necessarily stop gulping the sugary morning coffee drink after seeing how many calories we've burned.
VO2 max has been used for many years in assessing the aerobic capability of athletes. The test measures the maximum amount of oxygen that an athlete consumes during exercise. Think about the efficiency of a car and the size of its motor. (However, keep in mind that VO2 max is not a measure like maximum horsepower or torque that calculates the engine's ability to produce raw power.) Rather, VO2 max measures oxygen consumption, which is used in aerobic exercises like distance running. It doesn't tell us much about our power during anaerobic exercises like a running sprint. So, while VO2 max gives us a picture of the power of our "engines," it's not telling us how fast we would be "off the line."
To test VO2 max, athletes typically hook up to an apparatus that measures how much oxygen they breathe and how much oxygen and carbon dioxide they exhale during exercise. This is a direct measurement of how much oxygen is going in and how much is actually being used when athletes run. VO2 max is reached when oxygen consumption stops rising – even when the workout gets harder. The measurement is helpful because it allows athletes to determine how intense their training should be – and to monitor their VO2 max over time.

If you've got an electronically-inclined runner on your holiday shopping list, you may be wondering how to pick the best running gadget for him or her this year. Loads of electronics out there promise to improve health, track information and even calculate arcane pieces of information such as your VO2 max and "ground contact time." But, by homing in on what really matters for runners, you can simplify the shopping process. Here's what to know about the various options before you start your spree:
1. Fitness and Activity TrackersThe Fitbit and FuelBand makers of the world would have you wear a device on your wrist that gives you a panacea of health-related information. Most of such fitness trackers use a pedometer to count your steps and integrate with a software application that can display information such as the number of calories you burn each day and how much sleep you're getting.
While activity trackers are good for general information, many runners find them less useful than purpose-built sports watches. The information from a pedometer is typically based on counting steps, so it's hard for many of these devices to differentiate between walking, jogging or running – each of which burn progressively more calories. Fitness trackers also won't work well for tracking information about sports such as swimming or CrossFit, where the feet aren't moving around that much.
Grade for runners: C
2. Smartwatches
The news this year has been all about the smartwatch, from the Apple Watch to the Samsung Gear to the Moto 360. Most of these devices include fitness-monitoring features, such as heart rate monitoring and step counting.
The primary drawbacks of these gadgets for many runners are twofold. First, to take advantage of the watch's features, you may have to carry your phone along with you on your run. Many runners don't want to carry an expensive, potentially large, device with them. Second, some of the devices may not appreciate getting doused in sweat or rain on a daily basis. My own experience with the Moto 360 taught me that wearing a smartwatch with a leather band leads to a very grimy, yucky-looking band in no time flat.

Between social engagements, shopping and cooking – in addition to year-round daily activities – runners and other athletes have to work hard during the holidays to keep exercise from falling off the calendar. Add holiday travel to the list and many runners miss their workouts. As a life-long runner who has visited dozens of foreign destinations, I've learned how to keep running on the go. Here are my five tips to help you do the same:
1. Use long layovers wisely.
Any time I have more than three hours between long flights, I try to plan a workout during the layover. You can do this by researching fitness centers near the airport with day use drop-in fees. Before you hit the road, do a quick Internet search for "gyms near" the airport and call or email them to see if you can pay a fee to exercise at their facility. While few airports have gyms on-site, many airport hotels do. For example, the Hilton Chicago O'Hare offers a drop-in fee at its gym, which is a short covered walk from most of the terminals. Just make sure you pack a workout outfit, shoes, a lock and a towel in your carry-on bag. In addition to making the layover feel shorter, working out will energize you more than lazing around during extra in-transit hours.
2. Bring an apparel variety pack.
It sure is a hassle when you have a specific workout planned only to find out that the gym at your hotel doesn't have the piece of equipment you need, the pool is closed for repairs or wild animals prevent you from running outside. The latter happened to me in Thailand, where a tiger had been spotted roaming the jungle near my hotel. The staff suggested I forgo my run. (Advice accepted!) The key to staying active is to be flexible and bring what you need for different types of workouts. You might want to pack a swimsuit and goggles, for example, in case your only option is a pool. I try to bring cycle shorts when I travel in case all of the treadmills are busy and I need to hop on a bike instead.

With many of the big fall marathons behind us, a lot of you runners may be feeling a mixture of elation at accomplishing your goal and a sort of sadness that comes with completing such a large "project." Some of us coaches call this heavy feeling the "post-marathon blues."
But wallow not. The feeling is normal – and can pass. The key to shaking it is to get moving again with new goals and plans. Here are four ways to dust yourself off and get your head in the (new) game:
1. Line up next season's schedule.
First, move your thinking from the past to the future. The best way to do that is to get out the calendar and pick some races that catch your eye. Perhaps you've noticed other runners posting about races on their social media accounts. If one sounds appealing, jot it down on the calendar before you forget. A bonus of planning now? Many races have early bird registration prices, not to mention they may eventually sell out. While the calendar doesn't have to be set in stone yet, working out a high-level plan is a good first step to getting excited about the next phase of your training.
2. Set new goals.
Too often I hear about runners moving forward by simply registering for the same race they just finished. "I'll try again next year," they tell me if the race didn't work out the way they thought it might. Instead, set some goals based on what you learned from your last performance and aim to make positive improvements. For example, a concrete goal might be something like, "I will improve my nutrition and hydration practices in the next race so I don't run out of energy during the late miles." Write down these goals and make working toward them a priority.

If you're looking for my article on tips about the New York City Marathon that ran in US News Health, here it is:Runners from around the world are about to converge on New York City for the TCS New York City Marathon, and they will all have something in common: They want to have the best experience possible. The marathon is huge, loud, packed with deep crowds and lined by some of the city's most iconic sights. For the uninitiated, it is an inspiring – if a little bit overwhelming – experience. If you're one of them, take heed of these tips and get the inside track:
1. Bundle up.
While the forecast looks good for this year's race, the weather in New York City can be unpredictable. Some of my most intense memories of the New York City Marathon are of nearly freezing before the start in the staging area at Fort Wadsworth. Plan to spend hours out in the weather prior to the start with little to no shelter. There are a few tents, but for the most part, runners are out in the open and exposed to the wind and potentially cold temperatures. You may want to wear some old clothing, such as heavy cotton sweat pants and a sweatshirt, and then discard them at the start. In the past, race organizers have collected abandoned clothing and donated it to shelters. That way, you're keeping yourself warm doing something good for the community at the same time.
2. Don't be late.
Race organizers have devised an effective plan to get the thousands of runners out to the start, but it's up to you to make sure that you're on the correct ferry or bus. If you miss your ride, you may have a really difficult time getting to the start. I have heard stories of people thinking that they could "grab a later ferry," only to find themselves out of luck. Every seat will be full, so stick to your assigned slot.
3. Bring only what you need.
Security will be tight this year at the New York City Marathon, as it has been at most major marathons over the past few years. If you're thinking about bringing anything other than your running gear and energy supplies, you should check the prohibited items list on the marathon's website. Keep in mind that sleeping bags and tents – which seem like appealing ways to stay warm at the start – aren't allowed.
4. Understand the first few miles.
The start of the New York City Marathon is a massive undertaking that uses multiple waves and multiple corrals in each start. The course is actually split into three separate routes for the first few miles, with all of the courses eventually converging. What this means is that if you are trying to see or meet someone on the course, you need to understand that you might not be talking about the same "mile 5." Also, keep in mind that there are separate color-coded mile markers on the course until mile 8, after which they all finally converge.

Odds of finding a job in Milano
Ciao tutti,
I moved to Milan in December just last year to stay here and look for a job. I prefer to be in Europe but I can't seem to realistically assess the possibility of finding a job here. Right now I'm torn between going back to New York where I'll easily find something and staying here to look more. I do speak Italian and have English & Italian versions of my CV.
In New York I have a lot of contacts but here none other than 3 in Deloitte, KPMG & Accenture here. I'm a US citizen and obviously don't have a work permit. But I don't think these kind of firms really care about that when they want to hire someone.
I'm looking for a consulting or non-consulting role in Finance & Accounting or Corporate Strategy. Any advice, strategy or recommendation will be much appreciated.

Termite Treatment
Unfortunately for property owners, termites cannot distinguish between a fallen log and your home or business. Although beneficial in nature for helping break down trees, they cause billions of dollars in damage for homes and businesses. Usually their presence is not noticed right away because they hide in the wallboards, siding or wood trim. To help alleviate the damage that termites cause, you should get your home inspected once a year.
Additionally, a termite inspection is an important part of the home buying process. Although the home or business may look good on the outside, you can never tell if termites have eaten away on the inside. Contact us today if you are in need of any of the following services.

Irene Dunne and Alec Guinness star in this British drama set during Queen Victoria's reign. When a young homeless boy (Andrew Ray) is told who Queen Victoria (Dunne) is, he thinks of her as a mother figure and determines to find a way into the palace to meet her. Meanwhile, the Queen has hidden herself from the public since the death of her husband, much to Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli (Guinness)'s dismay. The boy, however, has a lasting impression on the Queen which may just give her the encouragement she needs to face public life once again.

So I would think the effectiveness of mod_mem_cache grows with a shrinking number of httpd processes.

In a blog post earlier this year, I wrote about the value of productive narcissism for leaders in organizations, but also raised some questions about its dangers. In this blog, I want to focus on humility - a trait we often don't associate with leaders, especially those larger-than-life leaders past and present. Even among CEOs, the leaders who readily come to mind for many include Jack Welch, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates – none of whom we would think of as humble. Jeffrey Pfeffer, in his book Leadership BS, in fact argues that while there are advantages to modesty (which he uses as a synonym for humility), there are several disadvantages. He claims that immodesty and narcissism actually help people attain leadership positions and help them to advance. He cites research that overconfident individuals tend to achieve higher social status, respect and influence in groups. Narcissists tend to exhibit more energy, dominance, self-confidence and charisma than non-narcissists. And he concludes that most companies have a preference for selecting leaders who are immodest, grandiose and narcissistic. Because they are more extroverted and have higher self-esteem, narcissists are more likely to be chosen as leaders and to be seen as having leadership potential.
Furthermore, it could be argued that humility might not work all that well cross-culturally. Power distance, the acceptance of inequality and status differences, is one of the major cultural dimensions differentiating cultures, with high power distance cultures such as Russia and Malaysia placing great importance on status, rank and deference to authority, and low power distance cultures such as Australia and Denmark placing less emphasis on hierarchy and titles. High power-distance cultures seem to admire authoritarian leaders who run their organizations (and countries) with an iron fist, and who display no outward signs of weakness.
Let's first define humility, and then let me make the case for the value of humility in leadership. Owens et al. (2013), after reviewing the literature, proposes this definition: … an interpersonal characteristic that emerges in social contexts that connotes (a) a manifested willingness to view oneself accurately, (b) a displayed appreciation of others' strengths and contributions, and (c) teachability. In my view, humility in leadership is first and foremost an orientation, a mindset, an attitude if you will, when engaging in interactions with others. The elements of this orientation are an openness to listen, a willingness to learn from others, and an awareness that one may not have all the answers.
Here are three reasons why humility is important for leaders. First, being humble tempers the excesses that extreme self-confidence can bring. The research on derailed managers shows very clearly that strengths when overused can lead to fatal flaws. Managers who derail show several traits and skills that more often than not narcissists have in abundance. They include lack of emotional stability, defensiveness, lack of integrity, insensitivity and abrasiveness. As summarized by Gary Yukl (2010):
"…the derailed managers could be charming when they wanted to, but over time it became evident that beneath the façade of charm and concern for others, the person was really selfish, inconsiderate, and manipulative … when they disagreed with someone, (they) were more likely to be outspoken and offensive."
In my judgment, Pfeffer's conclusions about the value of narcissistic leaders are based on two flawed arguments. The first is that while the research does show that self-confident and outgoing individuals are more likely to be selected as leaders and to advance, it does not mean that they will be effective as leaders. This is perhaps why there are so many bad bosses, and why the psychologist Robert Hogan and others have cited that the base rate of managerial failure averages around 50 percent. In fact, Pfeffer's descriptions seem out of synch with organizational reality. Executives who rise to the top because of their narcissism seldom are able to build sustainable organizational performance. They may be able to bluff and bully their way for a short period of time, but it all catches up to them. Perhaps thirty or forty years ago, such an executive might have been able to get away with this. But with the pressures for increased transparency and standards for a certain level of behavior, such narcissistic leaders do not survive for long in many corporations. Research has shown that all sorts of negative things can happen when people are placed in positions of power; for example, they begin devaluing the contributions of others, start thinking of themselves as superior, etc. The dose of humility in self-confident leaders helps them to become less arrogant. In fact, many other studies show that while charisma may predict career success and advancement, it does not necessarily predict organizational or firm performance. As Keltner (2016) has pointed out: "In primate social life, human and nonhuman alike, groups give power to those who advance the greater good. This basic power dynamic ensures that groups are led by individuals who will not be their undoing but will instead act with enthusiasm, kindness, focus, calm, and openness, thereby benefiting the groups." (pp. 52, 55).
The second flaw in Pfeffer's argument is that while it might indeed be the case that narcissists do display energy, dominance, self-confidence and charisma, these are not unique to narcissists. We do tend to like our leaders to show self-confidence and energy, but we don't view these traits in isolation but as part of an entire package when we view them. It is the toxic mix of arrogance and disdain, along with a lack of humility, that dooms many narcissists. Pfeffer may also be confusing self-confidence with cockiness, and the two are actually very different. And the meta-analysis I mentioned in my earlier blog post found a wide range of relationships between narcissism and leadership effectiveness. On average, narcissists were no more or less likely to become effective leaders. In fact, there seems to be an inverted U-shaped relationship; leaders who are weak as well as those who are very strong narcissists don't tend to become effective leaders.
The second argument for humility in leadership is that a humility mindset helps leaders make better decisions and build better teams through a balance between advocacy and inquiry. While leaders often believe that they have to be forceful and aggressive, and act like they know the answers (the advocacy position), they also need to balance this with a spirit of inquiry that encourages others to challenge them. They ask good questions, they seek feedback, they actively listen, they admit it when they make mistakes, they praise and recognize others and give them credit, and minimize bragging about their accomplishments and about themselves. In a recent Fortune article (November, 2016) about Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella, a former colleague said this about the Nadella's humility: "(He) could suspend his disbelief and opinion to listen to you thoughtfully. The slight difference between listening to argue and listening to learn is not subtle. It's huge. Satya is soft-spoken but energetic …". Recent studies of teams have shown that those led by high-empathy individuals tended to perform better on a series of collective intelligence tasks. Keltner (2016) argues that those with what he calls "enduring power" have empathy, are generous and tend to express gratitude. He does not explicitly use the term humility but this can be inferred from what he writes.
The third argument is that, in my experience, humility actually helps leaders when managing cross-culturally. When we are interacting with others from different cultures or nationalities, adapting a mindset that is flexible, accepting, curious and empathetic is essential (Henson, 2016). Humility is important especially in many cultures where building relationships and establishing trust are essential in developing business ties, as well as loyalty and commitment from local staff. I have seen many expatriates fail in their assignments when they believe that they know it all, especially because they come from corporate headquarters. Ethnocentrism is antithetical to humility. Even in low power distance cultures like Australia, for example, there is a cultural norm against the so-called tall poppy syndrome, where many want to put in their place those who have achieved something or are successful. Showing a dose of humility will certainly help.
Interestingly, there is a body of literature in the counseling field around cultural humility, and the importance of this orientation for therapists in working with their patients, especially those with different cultural backgrounds from the therapist. That is, the culturally humble therapist is open, self-aware, egoless, self-reflects and engages in supportive interactions (Foronda et al., 2016). Leaders of course are not therapists but do share an important common goal: that of creating commitment from others through positive influence. Furthermore, when leaders disempower us with their arrogance and lack of humility, our bodies start producing cortisol, which is what prepares the body for defense and a fight-or-flight response – not exactly ideal conditions for productivity and high performance. Cortisol increases our heart rate and blood pressure, and releases sweat in the hands. It also activates glucose production and stimulates the immune system. Over time, high levels of cortisol among employees lead to absenteeism and various health problems.
This is not a plea for leaders to suppress their self-confidence or their energy level, both highly important traits for leaders. However, confidence should not be confused with arrogance or self-righteousness. Leaders need to be confident; they need to have a point of view and express that point of view, but it does not mean that they cannot have some humility.
Here are three tips to developing a dose of humility. One, increase your self-awareness through regular self-debriefings and self-reflections. Reconstruct meetings that you've just had, for example, and, before jumping off to another meeting, take a couple of minutes to think about what you did that helped the meeting and what you might have done differently. Two, solicit feedback. On a regular basis, seek out individuals you trust and ask them what you could do to improve. Three, improve your listening skills. This is especially important for higher-status leaders who might not acknowledge their dependency on others, such as a senior surgeon at a hospital who is actually dependent on his operating room team. By practicing what Edgar Schein (2013) calls humble inquiry, this surgeon, as well as other leaders, can create a climate that gives others permission to help them should they need it.

Faison suspects facing charges for meth
By Nelson Bland
Published in News on January 8, 2010 1:46 PM
KENANSVILLE -- Two Faison area brothers could face up to life in prison if convicted on federal drug charges, Duplin County Sheriff Blake Wallace announced Thursday at a news conference at the sheriff's office.
Wallace said the brothers, John Ashley Davis, no age available, of 539 Emmett Jackson Road, Faison, and Kenneth Webster Davis, no age available, of 101 King Road, Clinton, were arrested on federal warrants. He said each was booked for conspiracy to manufacture and possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a "mixture of substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine," commonly called "meth."
The arrest of the Davis brothers took place last week, Wallace said.
"They were arrested federally on the charges, and these are pretty serious charges," Wallace said. "If they are found guilty, they face 10 years to life in federal prison."
As of Thursday, both Davis brothers were incarcerated at the federal detention center in Wilmington, Wallace said.
Amounts of bonds were not immediately available.
"An undercover operation went on for some time and the warrants were issued by a federal grand jury," Wallace said. "John Davis was taken into custody at a traffic stop on highway N.C. 50 near Faison, and Kenneth Davis was arrested at his home."
Wallace said more information surrounding the charges could not be released since federal officials were still investigating the matter.
"This is a major case," he said. "These arrests were the result of a cooperative effort between officers of the federal Drug Enforcement Adminis-tration out of Wilmington and the Duplin County Drug Task Force."

Recent price: 54.73$
P/E Ratio: 25.45
3 month Target Price: 62$
Company Description
Itron Inc. is a leading technology provider to the global energy and water industries. The company is the world's leading provider of intelligent metering, data collection and utility software solutions, with nearly 8,000 utilities worldwide relying on their technology to optimize the delivery and use of energy and water. Their products include electricity, gas, water and heat meters, data collection and communication systems, including automated meter reading (AMR) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI); meter data management and related software applications; as well as project management, installation, and consulting services.
Confidence Margins
Strong resistance $67.58 (+23%)
Light resistance $63.70 (+16%)
Light support $52.12 (-5%)
Strong support $47.10 (-14%)
The recent price drop of the company's stock is due to a recent recommendations by Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Wienkes. His rationale is that ITRI will see a slump in sales in the coming years, but in the meantime, it remains a bargain at current prices and should see some interesting upside in the coming months due to it's oversold status. This is an interesting position for the coming months and calls for a bullish position.
Entry strategyFor the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 55$ or less.
For the risk-taking trader:
The best thing to do here is to purchase the February 2011 65$ call option contracts. They should yield the highest return as the stock gets closer to it's target price.
Exit StrategyFor the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 63$, or keep it until 67$ if you are very bullish.
For the risk-taking trader:
Since the options price depend greatly on the price of the underlying security, the time to sell is the same as for the cautious investor. The investor must keep a look for any drop in the stock price that would cross a support line as it will have a disproportionate affect the option prices.

1. The Committee considered the above instrument on 25 November
and has requested a memorandum on the following point:
2. In this case, that is, where the instrument is to be made
before being approved, the provisions of regulation 3 of the Statutory
Instruments Regulations 1947 would appear to allow for numbering
either immediately after the instrument is made or after it has
received approval as the use of the word "may" in the
proviso in the regulation seems to permit either practice.
3. The Departments made enquiries with the Statutory Publications
Office as to the numbering practice they should follow, and they
acted in accordance with what they were told. The Departments
regret that, as it subsequently transpired, the instrument was
numbered contrary to what the practice is in these cases, and
they note for the future the practice to be followed.
4. The Departments believe that it will be possible for the
instrument to retain the number which it has already been given.
