Gobble, gobble inbound nation! Break out those stretchy pants, Thanksgiving is just around the corner! But first, it's The Friday Five: Five Headlines from Social Media, Inbound Marketing, SEO, and Web Design, our weekly roundup for ideas and news that you can use. And here they are:
- How American Airlines Developed Its Approach to Socail Customer Service
- Do You Really Know What Social Media Is?
- One Social Network You've Never Heard of Drives 20% of All Social Commerce
- Get Rid of Your Lousy 'About' Page Once and for All
- What is Instagram's next big thing? Messaging, perhaps
How American Airlines Developed Its Approach to Social Customer Service - econsultancy.com
Up until two years ago American's social channels were handled in partnership with a PR firm, however it was felt that in order to properly resolve customer service queries social needed to handled exclusively in-house.
The strategy was to use social to define the customer experience through authentic conversations and real-time resolution, however to begin with the team consisted of just two people and queries were only answered during business hours.
Do You Really Know What Social Media Is - forbes.com
By participating in social media, you become a form of media. Your entire audience can see each and every one of your posts and comments. Your audience may take away something positive or may think it's garbage. You may move them and inspire them, or disappoint and bore them. You may become a media star or embarrass yourself and lose credibility. Regardless of the size and scope of your audience, your messages will draw reactions that can be positive or negative. And unlike prior forms of media, the internet—and social media in particular—allows for instant feedback, so your every action can prompt a reaction.
One Social Network You've Never Heard of Drives 20% of All Social Commerce - venturebeat.com
Polyvore is essentially a Pinterest that is explicitly focused on products you might want to buy. And with a slogan like "Discover, shop, and express your style," it's not surprising that even with vastly less social reach than Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or many other social networks, it drives disproportionate amounts of social revenue.
Get Rid of Your Lousy 'About' Page Once and for All - marketingprofs.com
Let's be honest for a minute. How many "About" pages have you read that actually got you excited about a business or brand? I'm guessing... not a lot.
What is Instagram's next big thing? Messaging, perhaps - GIGAOM
Well-placed sources tell us that the company is gearing up to launch new private messaging features inside its still red-hot photo and video sharing service. It is also experimenting with the idea of group messaging, our source tells us. The new features are likely to find home in the next version of Instagram, which is expected before end of the year. An Instagram spokesperson (not surprisingly) declined to comment.
That's what we've got. How about you inbound marketing friend?

Networks in need of a green thumb
Network power consumption comes in many forms. In part two of SearchNetworking.com's two-part question-and-answer, Gary Audin, president of network consulting firm Delphi Inc., discusses the networking devices that are the biggest power drain and the best time to consider networking solutions that are a bit more green.
What's the big power consumer when you look at the LAN closet? What's gobbling up the most power?
It's the LAN switch, because a LAN switch has more physical adapters than a router does. A router's big if it has a dozen interface cards on it. Most routers have two, six or eight, something like that. But a LAN switch has 48, 96 or maybe even 128 ports on it … so the physical number of interface cards and driving those interface cards, forget about Power over Ethernet (PoE), it's simply a lot bigger because there are so many cards.
The second thing is that you don't see PoE coming from a router to drive the networks it is connected to. That's the job of the LAN switch. So that further increases the power consumption of the LAN switch.
The third part is: What do you think is the component that's most likely to fail in a LAN switch? What would you back up first? The power. So you put in dual power supplies. Now, when you put in dual power supplies, you turn them both on so that if one fails, there's no interruption to service. That means the second power supply is also generating heat and consuming power just for the possibility that it will be the backup. That may as much as double the power consumption of the LAN switch. You want them to be full power, you don't want interruption, and you don't want a switchover, because if we didn't make them full power there would be a start-up time for the LAN switch. If it lost power, it would have to come back up again. It would have to reconfigure itself. It has to do spanning tree or whatever it has to go through so that there's recovery time for the LAN switch. Avoiding that means putting in dual power supplies, both running simultaneously.
As we think about PoE, we think about keeping the phones running. So we're going to put in battery systems to drive those LAN switches when power goes out. When you go through a battery system, you use more energy than you would provide just by turning it from AC to DC back into AC. There's an inefficiency there that goes on top of the LAN switches. It's not as bad as having backup dual-power supplies, but there's another cost of energy there just to keep the battery systems running.Say company X, maybe it has, maybe it hasn't taken any steps toward power consumption…
… They're coming up for replacement. Their switches are getting old, three to four years old, and they're considering new switches. Say they're at a point in time when they're not in a refresh cycle and are not yet considering new switches. Maybe they're only a year and a half or two years in, and someone says, "We're consuming a heck of a lot of power and we need to cut it down." What can they do aside from buying new switches? What steps can they take that aren't as drastic as putting in new LAN switches?
There are products now that are power managers that shut down devices as their power consumption goes down, saying this device is in standby and a switch will turn it off until something is needed -- auxiliary power management devices. Why does everything have to be turned on all the time? It would have to be external. Whatever fix we do has to be external to the LAN switch. If I don't need this all the time, can I have a device behind the consumer of power that will shut down the use of that power for a certain period of time?
One of the other issues is whether the building designers set up the air conditioning for all of this IT stuff on a separate grid. We can shut down power and a lot of the building's consumption and keep up the IT stuff and isolate it. If I don't do that, I may have to keep some building power up to keep the IT closets up, and the building power is a waste. When you're doing greenfield or you're refurbishing a whole building, you have to reconsider how you air condition and power all of the rooms and closets from IT versus the rest of the building.What networking vendors right now have a proactive approach, cutting down on energy consumption and going green?
There's a whole bunch of vendors, mostly in the chip area, that are looking at that. And they realize that as chips have become faster, they use more electrical power and produce more heat, even though they're physically smaller. So the chip manufacturers are looking at how they can produce chips that require less energy.
How long do enterprises keep a LAN switch or router? Four to five years? So, in one sense, there's going to be a turnover or churn of this equipment. Period …. Therefore, if a customer is going to buy this stuff and replace it every three to five years, during the next round, they should put in power consumption requirements. The point is they're going to be buying new stuff anyway. They have VLANs and QoS and a whole bunch of other things to get in there as well, but they have to put power consumption and air conditioning requirements into the decision matrix. It's possible the stuff may cost a little bit more, but their energy will cost a lot less in the long run. So when they look at the total cost of ownership of buying a product and managing its power consumption, they should end up with a positive number, saying the total cost of ownership will be lower once they include all of the energy costs. Is that a shift that you have noticed only recently?
Vendors, especially those of chips and switches, have been talking about this for a few years, but it's finally coming to the point where we're getting products out there that take advantage of power-consumption technologies.
How many phones do you think are out there that Cisco has sold? Millions of them. If those millions of phones are Class 2, they consume under 7W; if they're Class 3, it's well over 7W. The VoIP phone is pushing this to a point where to run VoIP phones there's a lot more power consumption than the traditional TDM stuff.How much power did TDM phones consume?
Probably a watt or two per phone. And there are Class 2 phones now, some of which are around 2W or 3W, others that are 6W or 7W. Within the Class 2 variety, there are phones that consume half as much power as other phones that are also Class 2. And further, if you look at colored screens and you look at Gigabit phones, those traditionally are Class 3 -- the Class 3s run between 7W and 13W. You look at these phones and you have colored screens and can do video and have other stuff built in -- I need power to run that. As we look at more and more advanced features and the ability to do unified communications on my IP phone rather than the soft phone, I now have a real problem because I have to ask myself whether I can afford the higher power or whether I should look at someone else's product (for a phone with color and everything else) that's lower power, because there are going to be so many of these phones [deployed]. How does that come into play, especially when the people buying and installing the phones don't know the amount of power that's being consumed?
Much of the buyer side of this industry is unaware. The goal is to develop more awareness about this. Make this one of your criteria. It's a criterion that has not been there in 34 years of IT.

Presence Indicator
What are user statuses?
Each user can set their status to one of the following options, as a way of handling incoming calls:
Available-the user is ready to receive calls. If the user is specified in the call distribution settings (Call to User, Call to Group or Call Queue), the incoming call will be forwarded to the user's number.
Busy-the user is already talking to someone using the MightyCall service. If another call is received at the same time, the caller will (by default) hear the voice message "the number you are calling is busy". The call will be queued and held on the line until the user completes the first call.
DND (Do not disturb) – calls will not be forwarded to the user. If the user is the only one who is enabled to receive calls, the caller will by default hear the message, "the person you are calling is not available". The call will be then redirected to voicemail. If settings are configured to forward the call to a group or call queue, it will be redirected to users with the Available status.
In the Profile section, the Answering Options tab allows you to configure custom audio greetings for DND, Busy, and No answer statuses.
How can I use statuses in my work?
Use status indicators to quickly route incoming calls. For example, if you're away or at a meeting and temporarily do not want to receive calls, set your status to DND. Once you are ready to receive calls again, switch back to Available.
You can see the current status of all users (Available, Busy, or DND) in your Profile's Team tab, as well as on the web phone (in the Team section) and in the mobile app. The status will quickly show which of your colleagues are ready to accept the call if it's necessary to redirect it.
How can I change my status?
- In the mobile app.
- In the User Profile (use the slider in the upper right-hand corner by your user name).
- On the web phone open in a separate window.
- When receiving an incoming call, if the Call Screening option is enabled. Learn more about Call Screening.
Can I change the status of other employees?
Yes, this is possible for users who are assigned the Administrator role.
- Go to the Team tab.
- Click the "Edit" option by any user name. The User Settings page opens.
- Under "Availability", select the desired status: Available or DND. Save the changes.
- A user's status is not related to his/her being logged in to the MightyCall profile or mobile app (online or offline). Statuses are personal user settings which determine how incoming calls are handled.
- Outgoing calls can be made even if your status is set to DND.

Take a train or bus to Popovo. The train is fun and travels through some lovely countryside but it can be hot in summer when the air conditioned bus might be a better option.

There is something to be said about the men of Sex and the City. Every woman at one time or another has had a run-in with her Mr. Big. Or saw someone as sexy as Smith (whose original name was Jerry), and knew he had potential. Or met someone as charming as Steve. Or found yourself attracted to someone who you were not attracted to at first.
It got me to thinking, after watching this second installment of the Sex and the City movie (and after seeing it a third time, it is getting better for me), which of the men would I want. Not actually the man himself, but the ideal. You know who I chose?
Okay, hear me out. Harry was…well…hairy. He goes against every ideal of each of the other men, but the things he could do to make himself more attractive, he wasn't against (even if it did result in a rash). He was smart and funny and attentive. And he didn't even attempt to screw the braless nanny. He has a brain and standards that he stuck to (hello Jewish conversion), so he wasn't a pushover. He didn't change himself, but accommodated his wife. He went above and beyond to make Charlotte feel special, and was supportive in her worst moment of losing a baby. And he could make you laugh, and almost nothing feels better than that at the end of a long day.
He may not have Big's mystery, or Smith's looks, or Steve's…well…(what the heck does Steve have?) whatever, but he was loyal. And there's a lot to be said for loyalty. Besides, Charlotte said it was the best you-know-what of her life. Bonus.
…so why do the Big's of the world get us every time? (lol)
What do you think? Who would you choose?

Around 85 percent votes were polled till 4 pm in six booths in as many constituencies of Tripura, where re-polling was held on Monday, an election department official said.
The EC ordered re-polling in one booth each in Sonamura, Teliamura, Sabroom, Ampinagar, Kadamtala-Kurti and Dhanpur Assembly constituencies after elections were held on February 18 due to glitches in EVMs that wrere reported at various places during polling on February 18.
Dhanpur is the home turf of Chief Minister Manik Sarkar since 1998.
"The election officially ended at 4 pm. But voters are still standing in queue, so the polling percentage is likely to go up. Polling remained peaceful," Additional Chief Electoral Officer Tapas Ray told PTI.
There was also no report of malfunctioning of Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) today.
The CPI(M) had earlier raised questions on the neutrality of the state election department, claiming that re-polling was ordered only in those constituencies where the ruling Left Front had clear winning prospects.
Polling for 59 of the 60 Assembly seats was held in the north-eastern state on February 18. Polling was countermanded in the Charilam constituency due to the death of CPI(M) candidate Ramendra Narayan Debbarma ahead of the election.moneycontrol

Local small businesses have an opportunity to get a slice of over €1.2m in funding being made available by Enterprise Ireland to promote innovation and competitiveness, according to Dublin South West TD and Independent Minister Katherine Zappone.
Both funds represent an opportunity for those small firms which form the backbone of the economy in Citywest, Tallaght and Rathfarnham to get extra support and it is through such efforts that our communities remain not only a home of ground breaking development but also a source of good jobs.
Welcoming the Enterprise Ireland Funds Minister Zappone added:
"Small firms deserve the support of Government. They keep our economy moving and are often the launch pad for new ideas.
"I welcome the announcement of two national funds by Enterprise Ireland to support this work and am encouraging our local business people to see if the supports can help them grow.
· A €750,000 Competitive Start Fund is aimed at companies which are just starting. There is a special focus on those operating in the areas of Agricultural, Manufacturing, Lifesciences and Renewables. The closing date is Wednesday 27th September.
· €500,000 is being made available to link small firms with public bodies to complete important projects. These include ways to ensure wildlife does not interfere with safety at Dublin Airport, solutions to combat illegal dumping including in the South Dublin County Council area and improvements to Irish Rails Bridges to prevent them being hit by trucks.
"I know we have the knowledge, expertise and skills in our communities to respond to these calls.
"Innovation, research and development as well as competitiveness are key if we are to have a vibrant business community which can deliver real benefits for the entire community.
"Full details of the funds are available at www.enterprise-ireland.com"

This will be my final post evaluating my 20 time experience this year in World Lit.
- What did you enjoy about the experience?
I enjoyed being able to do something that I really enjoyed that we do not do at this school regularly.
- What was the most challenging aspect of your Twenty Time project?
My most challenging aspect of my project was finding time both in and out of school to actually work on my dancing skills. During the first half of the year, it was fairly easy to go practice in the dance room. However, during the second semester, a dance class was being taught there so I was unable to use the space. This meant that I had to find time at home after my sports to practice which was very hard. Not only did I have sports but I also have to practice at least an hour and a half of piano every day to stay competitive. If that was not enough, then my homework load every night was not the easiest to manage. That said, I got a lot less time than I thought I would get to practice.
- What is one thing you learned about yourself by participating in your Twenty Time project?
I learned how hard I have to work to squeeze even one more thing into my schedule these days. I also learned how I'm not always motivated, because a lot of the time I found myself too tired to work on my dancing so I didn't…
- What are you most proud of? Why?
I'm most proud of my video because I think it turned out pretty well. I think the editing could have been better of course, but I think it showcased a variety of different dancing ability and I'm proud of that.
- What lessons did you learn from your successes?
I learned I need to keep on practicing once your get it down once. If you stop right after you do it correctly, then you will forget it. I learned this with windmills, I got it in the beginning, then stopped practicing and ended up losing it for a while. This could have been due to my core strength diminishing after not practicing for a while.
- What lessons did you learn from your failures?
From my failures I learned that I needed to work on editing more before hand. I had only somewhat tried editing before making my final video. That was why some of the editing and transitions were a bit sloppy. But overall I think the video went pretty well.
- What is one thing about this project you believe you'll remember for a long time to come?
I mean, I'll remember my video for a long time because it will be on my computer. But aside from that, I'll really remember the experience of having 1 day out of 7 to just do what you want to do. It was so different from other classes where every day would be monotone and just grinding out work. Day 7's would be my highlight and I would look forward to them every time.
- What is something the teacher could have done to make this project better?
I don't think there was anything the teacher could have done. They are supposed to be independent projects. If the teacher had gotten involved, I feel as though it would lose its fun and lightheartedness. I really liked this whole concept of 20 time.

Why It Is Important To Choose The Right San Bernardino Lawyer For Your Case, Part I
It is fair to say that any law case no matter how small, can be a very stressful and indeed emotional time in a person's life, and for this reason if you reside in the state of California, you need to choose the right San Bernardino lawyer to represent you. A lawsuit or litigation is often the result of a time of crisis for the victim, either through injury or through having been badly treated and a highly experienced attorney who has a good understanding of a case can be worth their weight in gold. So with this in mind how do you go about finding the right team of attorneys?
When you are faced with an issue that involves calling upon the services of a lawyer it is all too easy to contact the first attorney that you come across. There are quite a few teams of accident or personal injury lawyers who will say that they cover all areas. They do this to bring in more business, even though they may not have practised in all these areas. It could well be that a lawyer has never represented a client in a similar type of case, even though they are fully qualified to do so. This being the case, it is probably not the time for an inexperienced lawyer to represent you. Instead you need a lawyer who has not only represented someone in a similar case to yours, but has also been successful.
A good team of San Bernardino lawyers will be open and honest about their business and will welcome any questions that you may have. They should be able to show you proof of previous cases that they have represented and the amounts that they have won for their clients. This is important because you know that they can prove that they are up to the job of taking on your case. They will be up front about any fees and as a result there will be no hidden charges or nasty surprises when you are presented with a bill. At the end of the day, you should be putting all your faith and trust in the right attorney to deliver a full and fair result, so in return, an experienced team of attorneys are used to answering questions about their business and in will fact expect them.
Avoid ambulance chasers
In order to increase business, some personal injury law firms will send out representatives to hospital waiting rooms in order to drum up extra work. In most states including California, this practice has been outlawed and as a result is illegal (although it is fair to say that it still goes on). If you have been injured and are in a hospital waiting room awaiting treatment when someone approaches you and starts to talk to you about speaking to an attorney, then it is best to avoid them like the plague. Instead, a good San Bernardino accident lawyer is always in demand and is therefore busy pretty much all of the time. This means that they would never need to 'drum up' business in this manner, instead they rely on people contacting them.

The first entry in a long-running series starring the title character, Maisie is a B-picture that benefits from an A-level performance by its delightful star. No one could ever accuse Maisie of being a great role, but it's a perfect fit for the wonderful Ann Sothern, an actress who managed to combine a no-nonsense air with considerable warmth. She also had a unique way with a line -- heck, with a wide range of lines. Yet even when given a line that in another's mouth would seem hopelessly cutting, Sothern managed to get its point across while still having a rather friendly air about her. The screenplay for Maisie is nothing to write home about, but it defines the character very well, places her in appropriate situations, and supplies her with enough laughs to make her interesting. It's Sothern's film all the way, a fact about which Robert Young must have been aware, judging by his halfhearted performance. Young aside, the rest of the cast is fine, and director Edwin L. Marin keeps things moving nicely. There's no avoiding the cheapness of the production, as witness a decidedly fake cow that interrupts a scene at one point, but it doesn't matter. As long as Sothern is onscreen, Maisie is good fun.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Brookland elementary students raised money for the Jonesboro Animal Control penny by penny.
The students raised money to help animal control on their new fencing project.
In just two weeks, Kindergarten through third graders raised more than $1,000 in their Pennies for Paws program.
Gaven Summers told Region 8 News why it was important to help out.
"These dogs and cats and snakes don't have homes," Summers said. "People that are mean to them, it's really mean to be mean to them."
Students presented animal control with the check on Wednesday.
Because of the students, the animals will have much more room to play in a fenced area outside.

What is graphene? Here's what you need to know about a material that could be the next silicon. Graphene, an emerging material that could change the way electronic components are made and help computing performance continue to grow, is everywhere in the research world these days.
This month alone, advancements suggested it could boost internet speeds, serve as a touch sensitive coating and extend the lives of computers. It is stronger than diamond and conducts electricity and heat better than any material ever discovered, and it will likely play an important role in many products and processes in the future. What is graphene? Graphene is made of a single layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a repeating pattern of hexagons.
Graphene is one million times thinner than paper; so thin that it is actually considered two dimensional. Carbon is an incredibly versatile element. These single layers of carbon atoms provide the foundation for other important materials. How was it discovered? Chances are good that you have made graphene many times in your life. Why is it unusual? Technology and Education. Artificial Intelligence. FDA approves a life-like prosthetic arm from the man who invented the Segway. After years of testing, the FDA today approved a new type of prosthetic arm that its makers claim will bring a whole new level of control to amputees.
Known as the "Luke" arm or DEKA Arm System, Segway inventor Dean Kamen has been involved in its development and unlike existing prosthetics, it can understand multiple commands at once, giving its wearers "near-natural" control of the limb. As demonstrated in the videos embedded after the break, tests show wearers can get back to easily performing tasks like using keys and locks, brushing their hair, removing papers from an envelope, or picking up an egg without breaking it. While we've seen demos using other mind control techniques, the one approved for sale does its magic with electromyogram (EMG) sensors activated by the wearer contracting muscles close to where the prosthesis is attached or on their feet, which an embedded computer translates into movement.
Another triumph here is the (relative) speed of its approval. Comments. Why Apple vs. Google Is the Most Important Battle in Tech. In the 1990s, Microsoft Internet Explorer battled Netscape Navigator in the great Web-browser wars.
In the 2000s, Google and Yahoo locked horns over Internet search — and we know how that turned out. Today, the latest high-stakes tech conflict is between Apple's iPhone and Google's Android mobile operating system for supremacy in the smart-phone market. Each of these clashes defined an era of Internet history. Apple vs. Android is no different. Apple and Google realize how huge the stakes are in this fight. (MORE: Google Chairman Eric Schmidt Raps Apple on iPhone Maps, Floats Yahoo! This smart-phone showdown is important because Apple and Google are advancing radically different business models to the fight. Each company has been successful with its respective strategy: Apple makes $1 billion per month on iPhone sales, and the device is considered the gold standard for smart-phone design.

Those are the kinds of virtual experiences, made possible by a computer and a high-speed Internet connection, that first attracted educators to Second Life, technology experts say. Initially, there was a lot of excitement about the possibilities of using Second Life as a professional-development tool for educators. But, for a number of reasons, those expectations have largely fallen short, offering cautionary lessons about using technology for professional development.

Thursday (Oct 27)
Running: (7.5-Mile Track Workout) Tonight I finally felt some jump come back into my legs, and felt good throughout the workout. After a 1.5-mile warmup and 6 x 100m stride-outs, we did:
With an additional .75 mile warmdown, the total mileage came out to 7.5-miles. Paxton looked especially strong tonight, and even though I felt good he clearly had an extra gear. I'm really pleased with the workout, and am getting my confidence back.
Cross-Training: Tonight Olivia and I did P90X: Ab-Ripper X, and I followed that with a couple of sets of chest exercises.
Friday (Oct 28)
Running: (4-Mile "Barefoot" Recovery Run) Paxton, Nathan and I did an easy recovery run through Bellevue this AM in the pouring rain. Even though it was cold and rainy, the run was still a lot of fun, and it was good to have the Bellevue Trio together on a Friday morning. While the Hattoris offer no protection from water, they do drain extremely well which was good today.
My log posts are waaaay behind due to our family vacation to Disney World, and getting engrossed in the new "Steve Jobs" biography by Walter Isaacson. So this will be a long catch-up post.
Wednesday (Oct 19)
Running: (5.4-Mile Easy Run) Paxton and I met at the Edwin Warner Nature Center for an easy run on our standard "Nature Center" loop. This was a very easy run with every mile over 9:00 pace. My legs are still toast from 3 consecutive races, and I'm also having a little trouble with my right ankle. I'm thinking about running tomorrow and then shutting it down while we are at Disney World Fri to Mon.
Thursday (Oct 20)
Running: (4.5-Mile Trail Run) Paxton, Nathan and I met for an easy run on the red trail this AM in PW Park. The run was enjoyable, but my legs just had no jump at all. Also, my ankle turned out to be a big problem with the uneven surface, so I'm glad we kept it to 4.5 miles. Since we are leaving at noon today for Disney World, I'm firmly decided that I'm not running at all while we are gone. Not even taken my shoes. I've got to work on getting the jump back in my legs and healing this ankle.
Friday (Oct 21) to Monday (Oct 24)
I took four days off from running and cross training while my family and I were in Disney World. Of course these were not truly "days off" since we did a TON of walking, and my feet HURT!!
Tuesday (Oct 25)
Running: (9.3-Mile Tempo Run) Nathan, Paxton & I met at the Percy Warner main gates for a 9-mile tempo run through Belle Meade. I did not know how I would feel coming off of a vacation with lots of walking, but my goal was to do the last 4 miles at marathon pace. We started off with a pretty easy 8:45 mile before dropping the speed down to 8:00 pace and below. My legs felt pretty dead, and my feet hurt worse than I was expecting. Anything below 8:00 felt fairly fast.
By the time we got to the last 4 miles, I knew there was no way I could maintain marathon pace, so I just did the best that I could. With 2 miles to go, Nathan absolutely took off, dropping the pace well below 7:00. I picked it up as well, but nothing compared to what Nathan did. My last two miles were 7:41 and 7:01, and it felt good to finish strong.
Cross-Training: Tonight Olivia and I did P90X: Legs and Back. Hoping I'm not as sore tomorrow and Thursday as I was after doing this workout last Tuesday.
Wednesday (Oct 26)
Running: (5-Mile Recovery Run) Paxton and I met at the Edwin Warner Nature Center for an easy run on our standard "Nature Center" loop. The weather was absolutely perfect, the conversation was fantastic, and it was a very enjoyable run. We kept it pretty easy the whole way, but did each mile faster than the previous. Our first was at 9:41 and our last was 8:33. Great recovery run.
On a side note, 18-years ago today was my first date with Olivia. We went to a little restaurant in the Green Hills Mall called the "Silver Spoon Cafe." Today that location is a Brooks Brothers, and we often joke about taking a picnic dinner and eating in the bow-tie section (I'm partial to bow ties).

In Schenectady, human touch connects poor with health care
Eddie Polanco's job is to get people to complete a health survey and connect them with the medical services they need.
He's not working from a primary care office or at a social service agency. He approaches people on the street, in the city's parks, at bus stops and laundromats.
On Tuesday, he described his unusual job as a "health care ambassador" to a roomful of folks at the City Mission of Schenectady in suits and dresses, dressed himself in a roomy black t-shirt that showed off his tattoos and a baseball cap, which didn't come close to covering up the massive holes in his ears adorned with metal plugs.
"You notice I'm not wearing a suit," Polanco said to some laughter. "This is my uniform."
With four years' experience working at the City Mission, Polanco was chosen to be a health care ambassador in part because he understands living in poverty and can relate to the people he approaches – in the way he dresses and the way he speaks to them. That "authentic connection" is a key to the early success of Empower Health, a collaboration between the City Mission and the Alliance for Better Health that might be called a "high touch" initiative. The goal is to forge personal connections to help break down the barriers that keep low-income residents from getting medical services when their problems are relatively small and easy to fix -- before high-tech, high-cost hospital care is needed.
Following a five-month pilot program in which the program reached nearly 1,000 people, Empower Health has been operating fully for two months. In that time, Polanco and other ambassadors have connected almost 600 people with medical care, or with services like transportation intended to help them see a doctor.
The Alliance for Better Health has invested more than $100,000 in the program so far, according to spokeswoman Melissa Russom. The nonprofit, a collaboration of local health systems and providers, was formed in response to a state effort aimed at reducing unnecessary hospital admissions.
A number of factors stop low-income people from getting regular medical care, before it becomes an emergency, City Mission Chief Executive Michael Saccocio said. They include a lack of awareness of illness prevention, mistrust of providers and the tendency to live from crisis to crisis, with no time to consider self-care.
Empower Health sends ambassadors out with a survey that determines how well respondents are managing their health. Polanco said he never approaches people with his pricey iPad out, asking them questions. A born salesman, he works to build their trust first, admiring their sneakers or talking about the weather. "How 'bout this crazy weather," he might say. "I think it's bipolar."
Even then, he must convince people he's not running a scam when he asks for information. The survey requests no personal data except for a name, but the people he approaches have learned to be wary, Polanco said.
On Tuesday, he related a few emotional encounters. They included a homeless man, who Polanco woke up from his nap at the cemetery when he stopped with his survey. The man sobbed after answering the questions. "I don't know what happened to me," he said. What he needed most was a place to wash up. Polanco got the man some help at Bethesda House, which provides housing and services to homeless people.
And Polanco got to help out a woman he knew, who, according to his tale, helped raise nearly every kid in his Hamilton Hill neighborhood when he was a teen. She fed them when they were hungry, offered them a place to sleep if they needed one, and let them have it when misbehaved. They all called her "Mom."
When Polanco interviewed her, Mom was helping to raise her five grandchildren, but wasn't breathing well because her ventilator had broken. Polanco got her in touch with Empower Health Program Coordinator Shatiki Beatty, who helped her get new treatments for her asthma.
Saccocio, conceding to a bit of boldness in his statement, said the nonprofits that launched Empower Health may have hit upon the right solution for a stubborn problem, by combining Alliance's health care expertise with the trust City Mission has earned among low-income city residents.
"Perhaps as a model, it can be valuable for communities across the nation," he said.

Monash Street was named after Colonel John Monash of Prussian-Jewish background.
He was not a professional soldier, but had risen in the ranks of the militia to Colonel. He was an engineer by trade and worked on the old ANZ Bank in St John Street, Launceston as a structural engineer.
When war broke out, he enlisted and was given command of AIF's 4th Infantry Brigad
e. He fought at ANZAC and then on the Western Front. Monash believed infantry should be integrated with artillery. He came up with the idea of using gas attacks on the Germans for days before an attack, then used smoke shells on the day.
He is given credit by some as the true architect of victory.
