Improving Your VO2
By Frank Horwill
Perhaps the greatest work physiologist of all time, Olaf Astrand, has stated that the maximum oxygen uptake can be improved by up to 20 per cent, and in order to achieve that, work must be done at above 80 per cent of the maximum uptake
Astrand tends to work by duration of running rather than by distance and time. For example, he discovered that no other middle-distance race produced more lactic acid in the blood than the 800 metres event. To insure the athlete against this, he recommends runs of 75 and 60 seconds at maximum effort. This is deceptive, because it could be construed that these efforts are at the athlete' s best 800m pace but, in fact, they are faster.
Given a 1:52 800m runner, a 75-second effort at that pace would take him to about 540m on the track (14 secs / 100m). However, if the effort is at 13.5 secs / 100m, he would cover about 560m and if he attempted 13 secs / 100m he might reach 580m. Astrand's view is that is the most efficient way to train for the 800m and lesser maximum duration levels do not result in maximum lactate saturation. He also asserts that because of this concentration all runners from 800m to 10km should do this work on a regular basis because they will be able to cope with fast surges during their race more efficiently.
Five, four, three minutes to blast-off
For improving oxygen uptake, Astrand works again by duration. Here are samples of his suggested workouts:
1. The athlete runs at maximum speed for five minutes. He notes the distance covered in that time. Let us assumethat the distance achieved is l900m. He rests five minutes, and then runs the distance (19OOm) 20 per cent slower, in other words in six minutes, with 30 seconds rest, repeated many times. This is equal to the athlete's 10km pace.
2. The athlete runs at maximum speed for four minutes. The distance covered is noted. He rests four minutes. In this case we will assume the athlete runs a distance of 1,500m. He now runs the same distance 15 per cent slower, in other words in four minutes 36 seconds, with 45 seconds rest, repeated several times. This approximates to a time between the athlete's 5km and 10km time.
3. Run at maximum effort for three minutes. The distance covered is, say, 1 100m. Successive runs at that distance are taken 10 per cent slower, or at three minutes 18 seconds, with 60 seconds rest, repeated several times. This approximates to the athlete's 5km time.
4. Run at maximum effort for five minutes. The distance covered is 1,900m. Rest five minutes. The distance is now covered 5 per cent slower with one and a half minutes rest. This is approximately 3km pace for this athlete, ie, five minutes 15 seconds/1,900m.
5. Run at maximum effort for three minutes. The distance covered is 1 100m. When recovered, he runs the same distance 5 per cent slower, ie, three minutes nine seconds/l 100m, with one minute rest, repeated several times. This is at precise 3km pace.
When and how often
We now have to ask what precisely these sessions are achieving. Sesson 1 is at 90 per cent of maximum oxygen uptake and within the range accepted by physiologists as a boost to V02 max. Session 2 is about 93 per cent of V02 max. Session 3 is about 95 per cent and regarded as the ideal boost to improvement. Session 4 is at about 100 per cent V02 max, as is session 5.
It is suggested that in the winter sessions 1 and 2 are done weekly, and in the track season sessions 3 and 5 are done weekly by runners from 800m to the half-marathon. Although it would be convenient to use the original distance marks made by the duration efforts, is doesn't take into account the athlete's condition before each session, so the maximum effort runs must be done on each occasion when they may be either more or less than the previous distance run. The maximum duration efforts are in themselves quality sessions.
If the pulse rate has not recovered to 120 beats per minute in the rest times given, the recovery period should be extended before the repetitions are started. The recovery times between the reps should be strictly adhered to.
These workouts make a refreshing change from stereotyped repetition running. When all four sessions are completed within a month, experience shows substantial improvements in performance.

SAUCIER, Miss. (AP) – Fred Couples made an 8-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday to win the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic.
Couples started the day tied for the lead with Jeff Sluman, but moved ahead with a birdie on the first hole. He led the rest of the day until the 17th, when his bogey dropped him into a tie with Michael Allen.
But Couples was perfect on the 18th, which is the toughest-rated hole on the course. He hit his drive in the middle of the fairway and then stuck the approach 8 feet from the hole. His winning putt was slightly downhill and looked good all the way.
He shot a 3 under 69 in the final round to win $240,000.
Couples finished at 14 under for the tournament. Allen finished one stroke behind, and Sluman and Tom Pernice Jr. finished tied for third at 10 under.
Couples got the victory as he prepares for a few weeks on the PGA Tour. He's scheduled to play in the Houston Open next week and will then head to the Masters, where he's had plenty of recent success, with top-15 finishes the past two years. He won in 1992 and has 10 career top 10s.
It looked like Couples might cruise to the victory, easily navigating through the first 14 holes with four birdies, no bogeys and no major trouble.
But he surprisingly bogeyed the par-5 15th after a couple poor chip shots, and had another bogey on the par-3 17th, hitting his tee shot into the bunker before eventually recovering.
He righted those troubles on the 18th, finishing off a largely impressive showing. It is Couples' seventh career victory on the Champions Tour and his first this season.
Fallen Oak became a much tougher golf course as the weekend progressed.
The Gulf Coast was soaked by more than nine inches of rain earlier in the week, which led to very soft conditions during Friday's opening round. It left the course vulnerable to low scores, including Couples' course-record 9-under 63.
But sunny skies and temperatures in the low 80s dried the course quickly by Sunday, making for faster greens. Factor in a swirling wind and more difficult pin positions and birdies were harder to find.

Henry Rothschild Study Centre
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
The Henry Rothschild Study Centre presents a superb collection of 20th century craft and design amassed by Henry Rothschild between the 1940s and 2006.
The collection includes work by leading ceramicists working in Britain and internationally since the 1950s.
Although wide-ranging, the collection was not intended to be comprehensive or encyclopaedic. It is a testament to Henry Rothschild's passion for ceramics and his zest and enthusiasm for discovering outstanding works made by highly skilled craftspeople. In his own words, every piece 'has its own story to tell and gives great pleasure on daily acquaintance'.
The Study Centre is the culmination of a long relationship between Henry Rothschild and the Shipley Art Gallery that began in 1990 with loans and gifts to the gallery. Henry was attracted to the Shipley's commitment to encouraging public engagement with contemporary craft and design.
Today the Shipley is home to more than 330 works originally collected by Henry. This Study Centre enables us to see Henry Rothschild's collection en masse for the first time.

Rock star Tina Turner gave her memoirs (written with Kurt Loder) the irresistible title I, Tina. Loder is the respected former editor of Rolling Stone. He knows how to tell a good story, and in Turner's life he had a great one. If the experience of life's ups and downs qualifies one for the Supreme Court, Turner qualifies several times over.
I would hold the destruction she wrought on John Fogerty's "Proud Mary" against her. Loder quotes her in the book: "We made that song our own. I loved the Creedence version, but I liked ours better after we got it down, with the talking and all. I thought it was more rock 'n' roll." That misjudgment is hard to swallow, but whatever confirmation standard was to be applied, she'd have my vote.
Sonia Sotomayor is something else again. Her memoirs could aptly be titled I, Latina. Unlike Turner's memoirs, the title would efface her individuality in favor of a factitious ethnic group. In her revealing 2001 speech "A Latina judge's voice," subsequently published in the Berkeley La Raza Journal, Judge Sotomayor held:
Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, a possibility I abhor less or discount less than my colleague Judge [Miriam] Cedarbaum, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging. Justice O'Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases. I am not so sure Justice O'Connor is the author of that line since Professor Resnik attributes that line to Supreme Court Justice Coyle. I am also not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, as Professor Martha Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise. Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.
This is a rich text. It tells us a lot about Judge Sotomayor, none of it good, and all of it borne out by other passages in her speech. In part she buys into the education establishment's "diversity" ideology, in which individuals are to identify themselves with approved racial and ethnic groups. Among the purposes of the "diversity" ideology is the engineering of an equal representatation of groups.
The defense of racial preferences in the name of "affirmative action" and "diversity" has become part of contemporary civil rights orthodoxy and many purportedly sophisticated arguments have been advanced to justify them. This concept of "diversity" in the educational seting has been all but constitutionalized through the opinions of Justice Lewis Powell (in Bakke) and Sandra O'Connor (in Grutter).
I believe it was Stephen Douglas who first invoked the concept of "diversity" to advance a political argument. Douglas found the argument useful in the senatorial campaign of 1858 to disparage Abraham Lincoln's opposition to the spread of slavery. According to Douglas, Lincoln's assertion that the nation could not exist "half slave and half free" was inconsistent with the "diversity" in domestic institutions that was "the great safeguard of our liberties." Then as now, "diversity" was a shibboleth hiding an evil institution that could not be defended on its own terms. Judge Sotomayor is a partisan of the "diversity" racket.
Judge Sotomayor, however, takes her case a step beyond its traditional terms. She argues that "Latins" aren't just equal to other groups. For whatever reason — perhaps even for reasons of biology leading to "basic differences in logic and reasoning" — "Latins" may be superior, at least to, well, people of noncolor. Here we see how a misconception of equality (equality of racial or ethnic groups) can result in, or comfortably subsist with, a claim of racial or ethnic superiority.
Judge Sotomayor also displays a frank relativism in advancing her argument. Not for her the self-evident truth of the equality of men, the doctrine to which Calvin Coolidge paid tribute in his great speech on the Declaration of Independence:
If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers.
Suffice it to say that Judge Sotomayor's notion that "there can never be a universal definition of wise" (consistent with several other such statements in her speech) is more ancient than the ideas of the Revolutionary fathers. She is among those who wish, in Coolidge's words, "to deny their truth or their soundness," and, as a result, "the only direction in which [s]he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."
One footnote. Judge Sotomayor's speech is saturated with a vulgar Marxism in which race is substituted for class. The ideology is ironic as applied to the factitious "Latin" or "Hispanic" ethnic category to which Judge Sotomayor subscribes. "As is well known," the late Professor Hugh Davis Graham writes in Collision Course: The Strange Convergence of Affirmative Action and Immigration Policy in America, "the blanket term Hispanic or Latino misleads by masking wide cultural differences associated with country of origin."
Among other differences, the terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" mislead by masking the differences between the native peoples of of the countries of origin and their Spanish conquerors. Is Judge Sotoamayor a descendant of "the oppressors" or "the oppressed"? I don't know. I would guess she has the blood of each running in her veins, but her name reflects the oppressors.
Luis Carrillo y Sotomayor, for example, was a seventeenth century Spanish poet known, so the Encyclopedia Britannica advises, as the chief exponent of culteranismo, which developed from the highly ornate and rhetorical style gongorismo, originated by the poet Luis de Góngora. In Carrillo's treatise Libro de la erudición poética, "he attempted to justify his methods by claiming the merits of obscurity in poetry."
To take another example, perhaps more appropriate, MarÃa de Zayas y Sotomayor was a famous seventeenth-century Spanish writer. She has lately returned to fashion in a protofeminist guise.

Skip to comments.British used bioweapon in US war of independence
Posted on 08/19/2011 12:05:56 PM PDT by Pharmboy
(Image: Everett Collection/Rex Features)
A document has just gone on display at Mount Vernon, Virginia - the museum in the former home of George Washington, first US President. It is an order dated 1777 and signed by Washington himself to send troops that had not been vaccinated for smallpox - or survived it - to Philadelphia to be vaccinated. These troops were then to join up with the main army, where the disease was raging.
It sounds like amazing foresight for its day. "Washington's careful handling of the smallpox epidemic at the beginning of the war was a significant reason for the disease not decimating his army", says Mount Vernon.
Not quite. Washington's order was likely a response, not just to a normal smallpox epidemic, but to a bioweapon wielded by the British enemy - a strategy that the redcoats had already used against the colonists to great effect earlier in the American revolutionary war.
(Excerpt) Read more at newscientist.com ...
Seems like I read that Washington employed a crude form of smallpox vaccination at Valley Forge.
The RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington ping list...
Indeed...it was called "variolation." Jenner's cowpox technique did not gain widespread use for another 20 or so years.
After all this time, new info comes out about the War of Independence. Not only was he begging for money daily with Congress, but did everything possible to keep the Army together. GW is the Man'.
Long Live George Washington!
>Long Live George Washington!<
And during peacetime, he was constantly helping his neighbors in many ways including loaning some money that he knew he would never get back. In my mind, no better Earthly man ever lived...
Infection by inhalation into the mouth and lungs - 30% death rate.
Anthrax has a similar difference between airborne and subcutaneous infection.
Very interesting read.
THX for the post.
Thanks for that Pharmboy. I remember reading the Brits used that against Indians during Pontiac's rebellion. Didn't realize they that they used it against us too. But then they used the indians against us too.
But the english were forced to use such tactics.
Killing up to half of the children of the Boers in concentration camps was unfortunate but after all the Boers were a threat to the entire world.
Starving up to one million central Europeans with blockade AFTER the surrender in 1918 was necessary as the central European powers had of course started the war by their reaction to the assasination of the heir to the Austrian throne.
This is war, or well in the case of the Boers maybe naked english aggression for their land, and in the case of the blockade, not exactly war as the enemy had surrendered,but just mass murder to dictate terms, but War, or not war it is Hell.
Perhaps what you catalog (along with much other Brit-transpired horrors, e.g., against the Irish) has them feeling so guilty that they cannot even arrest and detain criminals these days.
I agree.
The Picture of Dorian Gray describes the situation quite well as well as Wilde certainly expected.
I have never seen any hard evidence the British actually tried to spread the disease among the rebels. Frankly, it sounds a little like Ward Churchill's claim the U.S. Army tried to kill Indians with "smallpox blankets." More likely is the explanation that the British troops had better immunity from smallpox because it was endemic in Europe. In contrast, smallpox was much more rare in America and our soldiers, especially those from rural areas had no immunity at all.

Racing through College with Big Goals in Mind
Posse Scholar Vincent Asante '14 is winning championships far from home
When Vincent Asante was considering where to apply to college, his high school counselor in New York City urged him to put academics ahead of athletics. That recommendation set him on a path to Brandeis, thanks to the innovative Posse program that provides merit-based scholarships to a small group of select students.
But once he arrived on campus, it didn't take Asante long to introduce himself to Assistant Track and Field Coach Mark Reytblat. Though Asante had competed with some success as a sprinter in high school, he hadn't made contact with the Brandeis athletics staff during his application process.
Reytblat, who has worked with Brandeis sprinters for 22 years, believes Asante has the talent to become one of the top sprinters in Brandeis history. A native of Ghana who graduated from the High School for Arts Imagination and Inquiry in the Bronx, Asante earned conference Rookie of the Year honors in the University Athletic Association after both his indoor and outdoor seasons, winning the indoor 55-meter dash in the winter as well as and the outdoor 100-meter sprint in the spring.
Asante spent the summer before his sophomore season working and training in Waltham. He has two goals for the 2011-12 year: reaching the NCAA Division III championships and, at some point, returning to Ghana to visit his mother, whom he hasn't seen since he moved to the United States in 2008.

Out of the many momentous pillars at IIPM that etch indelible impressions in the minds of students and alumni,Professor A. Sandeep stands apart for the passion and zeal with which he has taught strategic management over the past two decades. He is the Dean, Research and Consulting, at IIPM. He is concurrently the Group Editor at Daily Indian Media. Professor A. Sandeep completed his graduation from IIPM and his post graduation from University of Delhi and IIM Calcutta. Professor Sandeep's doctoral research from Buckingham University, UK, takes a unique look at Indian mergers and acquisitions. He has also been on the selection panels of both IIPM and the Indian Institute of Management (lIM) Calcutta. Sony, BAT , Electrolux, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Samsung and many more international companies have been his consulting and training clients in the past. Professors from institutions and universities including Wharton, Yale, Kellogg, Stanford, IMD, INSEAD, Chicago University, NYU Stern amongst others have conducted CEO workshops jointly with Professor Sandeep. He is also the author of Power Business Strategies and co-author of the best-seller Cult: Leadership & Business Strategy, Ruthlessly Redefined. Professor Anirudh Sharma met up with the legendary IIPM alumni one afternoon
Q. Please take us through your journey at IIPM. What have some of the important milestones that you have covered along the way?
A. I joined IIPM as an undergraduate student in the year 1989. If milestones had to be chosen, then the decision to join IIPM was literally 'the' course-changing milestone of my life, as I never had imagined during my school years that one day, I would be undertaking my graduation in a course that covered national economic planning and entrepreneurship paradigms. Another milestone was going to IIM Calcutta for my post graduate studies in management. The two years at IIM Calcutta allowed me to compare and contrast the IIM-way with the IIPM-way. Coming back to IIPM as a professor right after passing out of IIM Calcutta was the next milestone, as that allowed me to put the lessons learnt into practise and benchmark the best of both worlds – that is, IIPM and IIM – for world-class academic standards at IIPM.
Q. You are amongst the pioneers who have fueled the growth of the institute in the last two decades. Please share your association with Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri during these decades.
A. Not many know that Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri was my batch-mate while I was doing the undergraduate programme at IIPM. During the course, we became the best of friends, and I have to confess that perhaps the sole reason why I came back to IIPM as a professor some years later was because of him. It's hard to believe but it's almost a quarter of a century since we got to know each other. Stupendously exciting, is how I'll describe the years with him as he inarguably is the primary reason for the superlative growth of IIPM in the last two decades, with his never-ceasing passionate, entrepreneurial focus and highly committed visionary approach. To finally get to co-author a book with my best friend (Cult: Leadership & Business Strategy, Ruthlessly Defined) is the latest pinnacle of our association, something that I will deeply cherish for a very long time to come.
Q. How will you sum up the growth of Planman Group since its commencement? How do you see it evolving in the future?
A. Planman Consulting (a portmanteau of 'Plan'ning and 'Man'agement) was founded in 1996 with two key objectives. One was to ensure that IIPM's brightest students join us back. As not every student wishes to be a professor, Planman Consulting was a great way to encourage our most promising students to join us back to handle highly invigorating and intellectual corporate consulting assignments. The second objective was to ensure that global industries recognized the consulting competence of IIPM through Planman Consulting and contracted large scale consulting projects to us. This was important as an institution will predominantly have an academic positioning to the outside world; but a consulting brand like Planman could go beyond that into the professional and commercial arena to lobby for consulting projects from the world's largest corporations and governments. In both these objectives, Planman has succeeded beyond expectations.

Q. IIPM alumni fondly remember you for the impact you generate through your classes, particularly Business Policy and Strategic Management. You are the top rated professor of the institute who endlessly inspires students to think and achieve more. From where do you find this energy and how do keep yourself charged up all the time.
A. Your words are gracious. Passion drives it all from the top. But if I have to be honest, it was actually not like this during my initial years as a professor. Although I was extremely passionate about teaching and strategy was my favourite area, for many of my initial years as a professor, try as I might, there were many other professors who would always trounce me on the faculty rating lists at the end of the teaching session. I couldn't initially understand the reasons why. And then I decided to attend the sessions of many of the professors who were ranked above me. That allowed me to understand in real time where I could improve; and the progress thereon was quite encouraging. I also believe that a combination of continuous reading, handling live strategy consulting projects, conducting CEO strategy workshops, and most importantly, editing Daily Indian Media's various group magazines (Business & Economy, 4Ps Business & Marketing, The Sunday Indian etc) keeps providing me with the knowledge and intellect to competently impart lessons on strategy. But the credit for the fantastic intellectual vibrance within the classroom during my sessions should go as much to IIPM students, who I consider amongst the finest business graduates in the country, if not the world.
Q. From being an inspirational professor to a critically acclaimed management writer, to a journalist and a business leader – which hat do you enjoy wearing the most and why?
A. I suspect that my personality type would not allow me to be satisfied wearing simply one hat. To that effect, I enjoy all the hats that I currently wear. There's of course the incomparable satisfaction one gets when one teaches students and later sees them become extremely motivated entrepreneurs with unmitigated passion not only for succeeding in their businesses, but to sincerely contribute to the development of the nation's economy through widespread employment generation. This can't be said a tad too early that the day is not far when the nation is run significantly by IIPM alumni. That's the moment of the IIPM movement I await restlessly.
"There's of course the incomparable satisfaction one gets when one teaches students and later sees them become extremely motivated entrepreneurs"
A career that began with intensive sales and then coursed into academics, Prof. Prasoon Majumdar's journey has been full of concrete establishments and values. He has been the face of the modern day IIPM academics and he has really been a substantial model of solidarity of the basic structure that has propelled a grandeur growth of sheer brilliance. His views on National Economic Planning has propagated each and every sphere of India. Through his weekly column in The Sunday Indian he brings to light the non-conventional yet omnipresent malaise of the society. He is also the editor of The Great Indian Dream magazine which caters to the most striking stories that effects the economy and civil life of Indians at large. Prof. Anirudh Sharma meets him and finds out more about this remarkable voyager of eminence.
Q. Please take us through your journey at IIPM. What have some of the important milestones that you have covered along the way?
A. Being a student of the 1989/91 batch, I joined the institution on 11th of September 1999, when we were students, our second year classes used to be held at Katwaria Sarai, in a two room accommodation. Often in the evening, post our classes, we used to walk down Qutab institutional area to have a cup of tea at one of those road side dhabas. And I remember the way Dr. Arindam used to look up at one of those buildings and use to say, one day we would have IIPM here.
So it was during the summers of 99, that I saw an Ad of IIPM in the Times of India wherein a building at C-10, Qutab Institutional Area was featured as the IIPM tower. I instantly recalled our conversation which happened almost eight years back and went to meet Dr. Arindam, to congratulate him in terms of realizing his dream. And as it was expected, he would never leave out on any of his friend and batchmate to join back. The rest is history…
Q. How did the association with the institute begin?
A. I was in sales, selling telecom products, and had been growing within the industry within a span of eight years. So when I met Dr. Arindam, he mooted the idea that I should take classes and that too in economics, considering that I had been one of the better students in that subject for the batch of 91. I still remember telling him that he should give me anything to sell, but not teach as it has been a long while that I have been away from books. But then like always, it was his persistence that won over my resistance. I joined and got back to books and my notes, which I had preserved and prepared myself for over a month, before I stepped into my first class – the UG batch of 1999/2002.
Q. You are amongst the pioneers who have fueled the growth of the institute in the last two decades. Please share your association with Director Sir / Dr. Arindam Sir, other professors / your peers / colleagues / students.
A. My first interaction at IIPM was with Director Sir, and that was when he took my interview at the time of admission. It has been more than two decades and he still remembers my interaction with him. My every meeting with him has been most inspiring as whenever I have met him, it has always been an enriching discussion, wherein all his thoughts/actions has been towards upliftment of the lowest strata of the society and most importantly all his thoughts had been original. Today whatever I am, I owe a lot to him.
My association with Dr. Arindam begins as a fellow batchmate. He was always very competitive and a voracious reader. His biggest strength is the way he has been maintaining relations with his childhood friends, batchmates and other colleagues. Visionary from the very beginning, he has always been a great inspiration to all of us. And have this amazing determination to chase his passion, with one hundred percent conviction.
My other teachers like Dr. N R Chatterjee, Prof J K Mitra, Prof M P Gupta, Prof M Adhikary, Prof P K Jain, Prof Amal Sanyal, Prof M C Shukla, Prof Vinesh Chabbra, all of them had indelible mark in shaping up, whatever I am. Our interactions never restricted to classroom but more often than not, off the class. And learning were never ending..
Q. Please share your teaching experiences at IIPM.
A. Whatever I am today, is a reflection of the kind of teachers who taught me at the institution. We were blessed to be taught by an assembly of teachers who were instrumental in shaping our minds. And all thanks to our beloved Director Sir who never compromised when it came to create an academic infrastructure for us. So it came to take classes, it was a matter of great pride to share the podium with same people whom we revered them as God. It was natural for us that we should not their teachings ever go down, at the same time, the unflinching trust that the institution had bestowed on us.
For me students are the best thing that can happen to any teacher's life, for they give you back in a huge proportion, what you give them. You love and respect them, they would reciprocate in an overwhelming manner.
Q. From being an inspirational professor to a critically acclaimed management writer, to an editor and a business leader. Which hat do you enjoy wearing the most and why?
A. Both teacher and writer, are two sides of the same coin. I write what I teach and vice versa. My columns are my thoughts and are meant to disseminate to as many people as possible. Writing helps to get to address a larger audience whereas a classroom restricts the same. But then they cannot be substituted. A classroom helps in generating real time discussions with real time questions and feedback, which is not so in case of writing. One has to wait for feedbacks.
Q. When you look back at the days that you spent at IIPM as a student, what is the biggest learning that you gained? Any funny incident or memory that you would like to share with us.
A. The days at IIPM as a student was by far one of my best days, as learning was not just in abundance but was fun. Small batch but hugely competitive that in itself created an enabling environment for learning. I do remember lot of funny incidences, but once where my executive communication faculty targeted me for his own sadistic pleasures was really hilarious.
Q. What are your expectations from the Generation of today. With both opportunities and distractions available in plenty, what word of advice would you like to give them to grow into successful individuals?
A. Success has no formula. The only thing they should learn is to strike the right balance. Once they know how to use the opportunities they have and mould them to their advantage, success is most definite. And as far distractions go, it is good to get distracted at times; otherwise, life can become boring.
Q. What is it that keeps you happy apart from work?
A. My two angels – Roza (daughter) and Riddhi (niece). Cult will relish this exclusive opportunity of featuring such an epic persona from the IIPM fraternity, and truly wishes that Prof. Majumdar continues to drive IIPM towards many more peaks of success.
They are legends!!! Men who have contributed to IIPM's growth in last two decades

I saw this article and found it interesting:
A novel if not particularly scientific method of testing.
The vendors whine (as they always do) but not very convincingly in some cases:
Hmmmm........................... 200,000 x 365 = 73,000,000 per year............ anyone actually believe that?Randy Abrams, director of technical education at ESET, said that the report 'is a textbook example of how to do anti-malware testing fundamentally wrong'. He said that a sample set of 1,708 unconfirmed malicious files were used, and as ESET sees around 200,000 unique new samples each day, 1,708 is not a statistically significant sample set.
A lot of what he sees will be the same malware, variations on a theme or obfuscations of older malware. But there is no way they are "unique" or "new"
I believe that when you are talking about zero day or obfuscated malware then 1,708 is a highly significant statistical sample. However, if they had really confirmed that these items were malicious, then all should have remained in the test, detected or not.
Basically the test didn't demonstrate anything we didn't know .........signature based detection is going to struggle if it doesn't have a signature.
Also, it isn't so much about detection as prevention? a lot of vendors actually sell security suites that have sandboxes and behavioural analysis etc. They may deny access to the main systems or kill processes that are about to do something malicious.
It is not that clear from the report, but it looks as if they just loaded the files and looked to see if the scanners detected anything suspicious?
A more robust test would be to actually open/execute them and see if they were allowed to run.
The article appears flawed as ESET (NOD32) seem to have had the best initial detection rate of 37%
Link to the test results is here:
This reminds me of a test an American consumer magazine ran a couple of years' back. They got people to write new or obfuscated malware (about 4500 specimens).
The results were equally appalling, but once again I don't believe they actually tried to run the malware.
Like this latest test, they didn't say how they treated warnings that a file looked suspicious.
I am also a little disappointed that Avira and Panda were not included.

It was finally beautiful weather (mostly) for the Spring Fling Criterium in Lawrence. Not surprisingly, this was the biggest turn out of riders so far this season.
It was finally beautiful weather (mostly) for the Spring Fling Criterium in Lawrence. Not surprisingly, this was the biggest turn out of riders so far this season.
We started the race with the Men's Masters Category. Due to the recent rainfall some debris had washed onto the course and several riders received flat tires in turn 3. Mark Ramsden and Art Mathisen remained in the field. Art attacked the field several times taking a sprint. Towards the end of the race he attacked the field and no one chased. Art won a prime sprint and the finishing sprint. Mark finished with the leaders.
In the ladies category, 4 Anita Gonzalez and Melissa Holstead raced. Melissa was racing on a loaner wheelset - Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLs. Missy had an average speed over two miles faster than previous races. She was very aggressive in the corners as well.
Next were the juniors, 10 to 12-years old. John Finnegan and Francis Sheehan raced for us. John led the field most of the race, but Francis waited until the last straight away to sprint and win. Santa Fe Trails swept the series: first place, John Finnegan; second place, Abby Olsen; third place, Francis Sheehan.
Next was the 4/5 men. Again, we had more riders, and again the pace was faster. Erica Haas rode for our team as well as Adam Wilcoxon, Armando Peralta and Brendan Sheehan.
Erica Haas turned around and raced the ladies category 3/4 race. She attacked early and often, taking third overall.
John Finnegan and Francis Sheehan raced again in the juniors 12-18. They raced hard.
Finally, the last race of the day was the men's category five. It was faster and more crowded. James Lee, Matt Doolan, Adam Wilcoxon, Gene Lamb, and John Pauley all raced. No one placed. Jim Lee took fifth in the series overall.
We are looking forward to our next races: Thursday evening on April 11 is the Power Flite 10 KM Time Trial in Gardner, Kansas. Sunday, April 14 is the Bazaar Road Race near Emporia, KS.
Thanks to Roger Harrison for his support and photographs.

Over the past few months worldwide supplies of cotton have been high as we have seen a drop in demand. Ending stocks for 2012 look to be 79.6 million bales with 47% of this stored in China at 37.6 million bales. For 2013 demand is expected to rise and we could see production drop. All signs for higher prices. And let's not forget "big money." This week's release of the USDA's WASDE report will shed some light on cotton to be released on Jan. 11. China and India are the largest worldwide cotton producers.

Despres Receives Kingdom Impact Award; Kudos from Coach of Gamecocks
"He may be one of the best preachers you'll ever hear."
That's what University of South Carolina Coach Steve Spurrier says about Adrian Despres, the guest chaplain of Spurrier's Gamecocks football team. Spurrier made a brief, surprise appearance at the Feb. 14 Chapel of Columbia International University to congratulate Despres as he was being honored with the annual Kingdom Impact Award from CIU's Alumni Ministries.
The Kingdom Impact Award recognizes a CIU alumnus or alumna who serves in a high profile, and very public ministry, and whose life vibrantly reflects the five core values of CIU: Authority of Scripture, Victorious Christian Living, World Evangelization, Prayer & Faith, and Evangelical Unity. Despres is a 1992 graduate of CIU Seminary & School of Ministry.
In addition to chaplaincy ministry to the Gamecocks, Despres has spoken to over one million people in two decades as an evangelist with Kingdom Building Ministries. He also serves on the CIU Board of Trustees.
In congratulating Despres, Spurrier noted that his late father attended CIU when it was called Columbia Bible College. The Rev. J. Graham Spurrier graduated in 1938 before going into the ministry.
Spurrier said that next to his dad, Despres is "the most passionate, enthusiastic, sincere preacher."
"And that's what he is, he's a preacher," Spurrier continued. "He preaches the Word – the gospel … what we all need to hear."
Despres, who was not notified ahead of time that he was to receive the award, was also surprised to see that his wife and children were in the audience.
"I had absolutely no idea about this," Despres said.
In announcing the award, Alumni Director Dr. Roy King noted that Despres' favorite Bible verse is Acts 20:24.
"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me. If only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me, the task of testifying to the Gospel of God's Grace."

Important Information for Tobacco Product Manufacturers and Licensed Wholesalers
As of January 1, 2004, New Hampshire RSA 541-D (Tobacco Product Manufacturers' Failure to Comply) imposes several specific duties on both tobacco manufacturers and tobacco wholesalers in an effort to obtain compliance with duties of tobacco manufacturers under RSA 541-C (Tobacco Manufacturers Not Entering Master Settlement Agreement).
The new requirements mandate that tobacco product manufacturers provide and certify information regarding their compliance activities to the New Hampshire attorney general. Only after full and accurate compliance, may a manufacturer's products be offered for sale in New Hampshire. Additionally, licensed wholesalers must provide information about tobacco sale transactions and will be held accountable for transactions with non-complying manufacturers.
For both manufacturers and licensed wholesalers, failure to comply with the required certification and other duties under RSA 541-D and RSA 541-C may result in serious penalties.

Leopold® Clari-DAF® MP System Brochure
The Leopold® Clari-DAF® MP (Membrane Pretreatment) system is ideal as a clarification technology for potable water treatment systems using membrane filtration. It is an effective method of improving effluent water quality for optimum membrane filter performance, improving solids handling, and lowering your total cost of operation.
Any raw feedwater intended for membrane filtration should be pretreated to remove materials that can foul the membranes. Membrane fouling leads to decreased flux rates and increased cleaning frequency and duration of cleaning.
The Clari-DAF® MP system is particularly suited for pretreating membrane filter feedwater because it can remove low-density particles that are not removed by conventional gravity sedimentation clarification. Typically, the Clari-DAF® MP system can remove flocculated coloidal solids, color, precipitated metals, and pathogenic organisms.

Hasbro 3Q results climb, helped by tax adjustment
Hasbro 3Q results climb, helped by tax adjustment
Oct. 21, 2013
PAWTUCKET, Rhode Island (AP) — Hasbro's third-quarter net income rose 17 percent, buoyed by a favorable tax adjustment and higher sales. Its adjusted results and revenue topped analysts' estimates.
Sales were strongest in the girls' category led by My Little Pony products and showed an increase in games, while sales in the boys' category fell and preschool sales slipped.
Its stock rose in premarket trading on Monday.
The quarterly results come as toy makers gear up for the holiday season, which can account for up to half their annual revenue.
The No. 2 toy maker earned $193 million, or $1.46 per share, for the three months ended Sept. 29. That compares with $164.9 million, or $1.24 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding 18 cents per share for the tax adjustment and restructuring and pension charges of 3 cents per share, earnings were $1.31 per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected adjusted earnings of $1.30 per share, on average.
Revenue for the Pawtucket, Rhode Island, company rose 2 percent to $1.37 billion on strong sales overseas and in its girls category and entertainment and licensing segment. Wall Street was calling for revenue of $1.35 billion.
By category, Hasbro reported its strongest sales in the girls category — which was up 29 percent on the successful debut of My Little Pony Equestria Girls as well as the debut of Nerf Rebelle and increased sales of Furby and other My Little Pony products.
Sales of games rose 6 percent, its fourth straight quarterly increase. This was helped by higher sales of Jenga, the Elefun & Friends collection, Magic: The Gathering and the launch of the new Telepods game platform that includes the Angry Birds Star Wars II game.
In the boys category, sales dropped 17 percent as the Marvel and Beyblade brands faced tough year-ago comparisons. There were increased sales of Transformers and Star Wars products.
Preschool sales dipped 2 percent, but there were higher sales of the Play-Doh, Sesame Street and Transformers Rescue Bots products.
International sales increased 11 percent, helped by favorable foreign exchange rates and better sales in Europe, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region. Hasbro said that sales in the games, girls and preschool categories climbed overseas.
President and CEO Brian Goldner said in a statement that Hasbro Inc.'s business continues to improve in emerging markets, with growth of 22 percent in the quarter.
Sales for the entertainment and licensing unit rose 13 percent as it benefited from the addition of Backflip Studios. Sales for the U.S. and Canada fell 5 percent, stung by lower sales in the boys and preschool categories. Sales for the girls category climbed in the region, while the games category reported flat sales.
Last week Mattel Inc. reported its quarterly profit and revenue improved on increased sales of Barbie and Monster High dolls.

Speedy Fred's Revolution
The One Best Way: Frederick Winslow Taylor and the Enigma of Efficiency
Eighty-two years after his death in 1915, Frederick Winslow Taylor, the industrial engineer whose invention of "scientific management" promised to revolutionize American industry, is largely forgotten. Celebrated during his lifetime for his dramatic schemes to improve efficiency and increase productivity, Taylor was once linked with Thomas Edison and Henry Ford as one of the great American industrial innovators. But today, even among the few who remember his work, it is difficult to find anyone who would endorse it.
Still, if Taylor is no longer intellectually fashionable, Robert Kanigel contends in his biography, his doctrine still pervades much of American culture—so much so, he observes, that "we no longer realize it's there."
Taylor bequeathed a clockwork world of tasks timed to the hundredth of a minute, of standardized factories, machines, women, and men. He helped instill in us the fierce, unholy obsession with time, order, productivity, and efficiency that marks our age. Foreign visitors to America often remark on the rushed, breathless quality of our lives. Taylor—whose life, from 1856 to 1915, almost exactly coincided with the Industrial Revolution at its height—helped make us that way.
At first glance, this assessment, however qualified, seems excessive. In fact, only a handful of American firms actually adopted Taylor's draconian schemes in their entirety (according to one optimistic estimate in 1915, about 1 percent of all industrial workers labored under the full-fledged Taylor system). Most managers found Taylor's proposals for intensive productivity studies and minutely detailed work instructions far too complicated to implement. Moreover, workers' fierce objections to Taylorism as a degrading intrusion on their work lives increased managers' wariness about introducing Taylor's methods to their factories and offices. Only by the 1920s, when Taylor's followers began to modify his theories by paying closer attention to workers' morale, while also recognizing trade unions (which Taylor regarded as spiteful and wasteful), did both labor and management broadly adopt Taylor's methods.
Nevertheless Kanigel is correct in observing that the crucial element of Taylor's system—the aggressive effort by management to gain control over technical knowledge connected with work—still dominates American labor relations. Even in modern firms which rely on "post-industrial" methods of shared decision-making and flexible work arrangements (to increase workers' satisfaction and, thereby, company profits), Taylor's basic division of responsibility between expert managers and worker-drones survives.
Taylor's philosophy, as Taylor developed it in the machine shops of the late nineteenth century, originally consisted of a few basic principles about eliminating wasteful industrial procedures and increasing productivity. Every shop-floor task, Taylor instructed, should be divided into its fundamental parts and redesigned—in accordance with Taylor's famous studies of how time and motion were used—to maximize efficiency and ease of imitation. Wages should be linked to output, and high productivity rewarded as an incentive. Above all, production should be administered exclusively by "efficiency experts," a new professional group who would determine the "one best way" to run…

Vice President's Message
In this season of giving thanks, I would like to express my gratitude to the Student Services staff for all you have done to assist students during this extremely busy (and productive) fall semester! Your dedication to the students is what makes HCC such a special place to learn and work. I hope you will make time over the Thanksgiving break to reconnect with family and friends, reflect on your blessings and remember those who make our lives special.
New Addition to Student Services & Enrollment Management
Please join me in welcoming Mr. Ailbe Astor, HCC's new Veteran Student Affairs Coordinator who will provide district-wide coordination of Veteran Student Affairs. Ailbe has worked at HCC for over 10 years and has served the veteran population the past six years in Admissions, Records, and Registration, most recently at the Plant City Campus as the Supervisor and Certifying Official. Ailbe is a graduate of HCC, as well as Saint Leo University where he received a degree in Management. Ailbe also served in the U.S. Marine Corps as an Inspector, where he investigated congressional inquiries and conducted operational inspections.
Registrar's Message
Graduation deadlines are officially a thing of the past. The HCC Graduation Office processes graduates monthly. Students are recommended to apply for graduation prior to completing their degree requirements. Students are notified by Hawknet when (1) they have met graduation requirements (whether they have applied or not), (2) they applied but do not meet the requirements, (3) the diploma is mailed. The diploma is mailed to the address in the HCC database. Students should submit an address change prior to the diploma being mailed. These changes should be submitted at firstname.lastname@example.com. The Graduation Office received over 90 address changes for summer graduates, saving $450 and countless hours in processing time.
Privacy Please... New FERPA Training for All
PDWS is offering online FERPA training to HCC employees. The training contains a questionnaire to assess your FERPA aptitude along with case studies and resolutions to actual events that take place in the education arena. Participants will be awarded a certificate on completion of the quiz. To access the FERPA training follow these steps: (1) Go to http://www.hccvirtual.com/, (2) Login using your NETID (username and password you use every day to login to your computer), (3) Click the "Online Training" icon. Please make time in your schedule to complete this important training.
Several diploma initiatives are coming to fruition. Because of our work with The Scrip-Safe company we eliminated the manual processing of diplomas. Diplomas are now produced via Web interface, "the cloud" that allows us to produce "Diplomas on Demand" anywhere, anytime, on any printer. This allows the graduation office to save time and produce diplomas more efficiently and accurately. Also, this offers us the option in the event of mechanical issues to print on any HCC printer through our vendor Scrip-Safe, without any additional cost. The fall 2012 graduate diplomas will be printed using this software.

@ Senpai - I'm planning to increase Irish's jerkassitude here. Biggest one: In te original, it's obvious that he cares about Joshua and vice versa. In the remake, he ignores him a lot of the times when he tries to warn him and isn't afraid to verbally assault him when Joshua tries to lecture him. What do you think?

@ Senpai - Not obvious he cares about Joshua =/= Not caring about him at all. The jerkassitude stems from the fact that the stress of the suit and painkillers is already negatively affecting his mindset. Also, he knows he's going to die from it soon, so he's trying not to make Joshua care about him when he does.

Then put some emphasis on his mind and monologue. Acting like a jerkass and thinking like a jerkass don't earn him any credit.
Also, just doing some research on anti-zombie weapon, apparently Rapier is considered the worst kind of sword to use. Poor Cecilia.

@ Senpai - Joshua already lost his son and wife, and it caused him to make a stupid decision. Losing Irish would slip him off the slope, but only if he did care about Irish.
Of course it would. Rapiers have no slicing power whatsoever. Use a saber for her.
Do you think Tatenashi controls the entire org or just part of it? She's still a teen, after all.

I guess I'll stick with Sabre then. Now, I'm doing a research about Dan's.
Tatenashi? If I want to be cynical, her current self is mostly a symbol. It's not until she matured greatly that she can act like a full leader. True, she's smart, skilled, and wise. But as canon can attest, she's still just like average 16 years old at heart, curious and prone to recklessness.

@ Senpai - Would she even lead while her parents are still around? I have an idea.
Only one way to stop zombies: Pummel or cut them up till they can't come after you anymore. A rapier sucks for that since it can't do either. Also, will they be facing human opponents here?

Maybe no, once again, my point is that Tatenashi is inexperienced, period.
Human opponent... maybe just an intimidation match, since the zombie apocalypse started In a short time (and ended In a short time, admittedly) the scavenging issues isn't that heavy, even if it's crucial (such as Ichika being a dictator when it comes to food supplies, he has no reason to, if only the girls can act less spoiled ).
The only human vs human fighting about settlement issue stopped when they're almost ambushed by a horde of zombies. But the Protagonist isn't involved, just watching it and warn the fighting people.
EDIT: the rules of killing the zombie is A. destroying the brain to mush B. separating the head entirely.

@ Senpai - Irish performs assignments without telling her in Shadow. The more assignements he does, the faster he gets Joshua released.
Side note - You were sent on a supply run to get food for your colony and you spot a crate of food along with other survivors. They have the same mission as you and they also need the food. What will you do? Kill them and take the food, dooming their station to starve. Or let them have it and hope you can find another crate? Neither choice is right, and these are choices you'll have to make in a zombie apocalypse.
Side note 2 - You perform CPR by pumping the chest, right? So how do you perform CPR on someone like Houki? Wouldn't her breasts get inthe way?

Well..... can't comment that. That's already good.
Note 1: it's not about that, because of number of people surviving the initial strike is tiny, and in the city, food is abundant, even for a while. Ichika's problem is more into choices of supply.
(of course this is more about short term condition, we never know about a month after that)
For example, he noted noodles being a bad choice, and oat being the best since eating a little and drink a lot will keep you full (solid carbohydrate+ fiber), problem is oatmeal tastes like crap without seasoning, and eating it dry makes your throat itch. The girls keep pestering him about it and frankly, eat their words when they get a hunger rather quickly as they eat cake for lunch .
Note 2: CPR done by pumping the chest, indeed it'll be troublesome with big-chested female.

@ Senpai - Think she'll be peeved when she finds out? He didn't exactly twll her what he was doing.
Food's abundant? That's not exactly a full blown apocalypse then. Also, why are they complaining? If there's freaking zombies around, I'd eat anything as long as it's not inedible or immoral.
Side note - Wouldn't that make CPR on any bog chested female instant narm? It'd look like the guy was copping a feel than struggling to keep her alive.

@ Stratos - Curious: I haven't really found damaging flaws to Inami yet. Before you say; No, over-determination isn't an inherently negative flaw. I meant a flaw that actually has negative effects and it shows rather than something like "clumsiness" or "being hot blooded".

She'll be pissed, but not to the point of losing her composure. She also noted how it's disrespectful and unprofessional.
Note 1: Definitely not full blown, but the difficulty of communication, transportation, as well as crumbling social structure and most people's inability to defend themselves make it no less saddening.
They didn't protest after that, but Ichika also made the oat into a prepackaged energy bar and loaf for easy consumption, most of the benefits with minimal drawback
Note 2: Not to sound immoral, but I once refused to do it during a beach trip accident because I knew I cant do it (yeah, that trip with Harem). Everyone think I'm just shy and unprofessional, until a licensed medic do it and noted the difficulty.

- He got over his parents' deaths.
- Renowed his alignment upon learning Praxidike's betrayal.
- He recovered from his injuries.
Not exactly the kind of guy who would let his weaknesses disrupt his daily life... or let them be shown. But he does have certain loose end(s)... one of which involves his period of absence.

@ Senpai - Why would she be pissed? Because he didn't tell her or because he did it at all?
Side note - Why don't they just raid the stores? It's probably got a load of food.
Side note 2 - That'll make the CPR scene with Irish and Tetanshi hard later. Can't exactly have it be tense when he's basically groping her.

@ Stratos - That's a common thing called "Tell, not show.". Saying he has flaws and showing them are different things. Irish has drug problems, but it'd be idiotic if I never show this damaging him at all. Are you seriously saying Inami has no flaws?

Linzy's Sesame Crusted Salmon over Tahini Miso Sauce Quick Weeknight Meals Recipe Contest 2009
Recipe: Sesame Crusted Salmon over Spicy Tahini Miso Sauce
Category: Omnivore
How long does it take? 20 minutes or less, once your oven is nice and hot.
Name: Linzy
Why is it a favorite meal? Barely any prep work for a beautifully healthy meal. Creamy, crunchy, bold, yet, oh so simple. Mmmm...
Sesame Crusted Salmon over Spicy Tahini Miso Sauce
For the Fish:
2 Salmon Filets
2 T Black & White Sesame Seeds, toasted up good.
Salt n' peppa
Preheat that oven to 400.
Make sure your sesame seeds are nice and toasted--toss them in a hot pan for a minute or two.
(If you feel like getting extra fancy, crush up a few of the sesame seeds with the pepper to open up the flavor)
Now pat those seeds on them filets!
Throw it in a baking dish and shove it in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
For the Spicy Tahini Miso "Sauce" (or descriptive sauce-like word of your choice):
2 heapin' T Tahini
1 heapin' T White Miso
3 heapin' T Ricotta*
A shake or three of Cayenne or dab or five of Siracha, to your likin'
A splash or so of Milk*
Now mix it all up, making it as creamy as you'd like, serving it cool under the hot salmon filets.
If you don't like it spicy, then by all means, cut out the spice. I promise I'm not judging you.
*I use fat free Ricotta and Milk, and it's lovely just the same--the tahini takes care of business and balances it out.
So, how quick was THAT?
Didn't even have to chop a thing.
I mean, unless you want to take that avocado, lime, and green onion garnishing pictured above to heart, then by all means, slice away.
Lemon is also nice.
Thanks Linzy, and good luck! Readers, give Linzy a thumbs up if you like this recipe!
Enter our Quick Weeknight Meals Contest!
You could win some fabulous prizes and we'll all collect some great new recipes.

For security concerns on a larger scale, satellites provide essential information about global changes for people inhabiting susceptible areas. Read about the now fully operational Terra-SAR-X and Tandem-X satellites, and the unprecedented precision of this tandem mission in our interview with the DLR engineers in charge of mission operations.
Also in this issue: the flame at the heart of more efficient engines, a unique catapult for trains aimed at stopping them flying off the rails, and a probe into the hazy issue of transport emissions and their environmental effects. And this issue of the Magazine also tackles the greatest question of them all: is Earth one of a kind? We look at how 100 researchers from around the world have been working together to build up a detailed picture of the development of our world and life itself. Meanwhile, specialists in space medicine tell us what draws them to Antarctica, and we have a special report on the planetary image library services that bring visions of space to researchers and the general public worldwide – one of which has been run by DLR for the last 25 years.
