that is not how world records are set. look at the splits for the world records. they aren't positive or negative splits grossly, they are flat. consistent running is fastest.
VO2max is more important for short races. Lactate Threashold is the greatest indicator of marathon race performance. read Advanced Marathoning by Pete Pfitzinger for more on this. chapter 1 covers the effects of LT, V02Max, running economy and more. great book. the bible.....
you have clearly never run a marathon. yes, using rabbits is a somewhat controversial issue but it is non the less impressive. a sub 2hr marathon is crazy fast. to make this happen will require every angle, every subtle increase you can possibly imagine. run one, maybe two marathons and then you can talk about what is lame. not to mention running is and has always been a numbers game. read any running literature and you see runners are always running against the clock. Once a Runner (widely considered the best running book ever makes it very clear runners run against the clock).
this holds true across the board for hotels. cheap hotels give free breakfast, nice hotels charge a small fortune cheap hotels give free parking, nice hotels charge a small fortune nicer hotels (like the gaylord mentioned) charge a resort fee of $25 per day for basically no services at all. cheap hotels though are competing on stuff like free wifi, free breakfast, etc where the nicer hotels are competing on location, beautiful facility, etc.
i still don't understand though the $1k fee. i have stayed at that gaylord many times. its not a $1k fee for internet, ever. more like $20 per day (unless your marriott gold or platinum, then its free).
The Meaningful Use (MU) requirements that are alluded to in the original post are pushing Continuity of Care Records (CCD) for this type of data exchange. And all the major EMRs and Practice system support some flavor of CCD. Just how much is the question. As it is XML, the CCD is finally a healthcare standard thats useful, in contrast to the not so standard standard of HL7. Epic is bad though about sharing data. Many others are much better.
i used to have a bunch of servers, gear, KVMs, etc. over the years, i have paired it back more and more.
today i have a synology NAS (killed the loud old dell home server), 7 sonos ZP120s (yes i know they are wireless but these are powering in wall/ceiling/outdoor speakers), UPS, cable box, dvd, tivo (all AV gear is wired to tv flat mounted upstairs), IR extender solution, Yamaha amp, apple mini (used for CLI only), router, switch, wifi AP, etc.
amen to this. i have had many of the garmin watches, wearing the 610 now the 610 magnetic connector was a step backwards from the previous clip connectors. the 610 routinely gets dirty, won't charge, sometimes the charge actually drains the battery, etc. the case has also started to rust and breakdown. i still use it and love it but it could be much better i'm a big fan of smart watches but given the need for an iphone to be paired with it, i'm not sure i will use the iwatch. i'll still likely try it but it sure won't displace my garmin. i can't run with my phone, too damn big. i was hoping for more from apple
Even given the current constraints of battery and the never changing constraint of the size of your wrists, there is a lot that can be done. i have used the last 3 generations of Garmin watches and even those have drastically added features. they have also gotten much smaller (in the good way, like hey thats a big watch vs. the old ones that looked like a computer strapped on your wrist). they are also lighter As mentioned below, NFC will be a huge addition. tap watch to sensor and your off. i love the GPS of the garmin, tracks speed, elevation, etc, gives a ton of data. also maps it all on google maps so its great to see where you have been. new features include tracking athletic specific stuff like VO2Max, time spent vertical vs. horizontal, recovery time, etc. all good stuff and just the tip of one of the many icebergs of what can be done. Motorola's device has BT so playing music is sure a possibility. on the screen usage, again the current garmin devices have a very usable touch screen and apple has sure shown improvements over the years in tap navigation. maps are also reasonably usable on the motorola device. needless to say, i'm hopeful the apple device will be a big step forward.
i'm literally trying to get rid of a big CRT right now (in boston) its in my driveway my neighbor and i moved it from my basement yesterday and we both barely made it. we are both strong, in shape guys but damn this thing is massive its replaced with a projector that, in comparison, is so small i got a ton of basement space free by getting rid of this beast the sad part is that this is a nice tv, end of the crt era, flat screen, great pic, just too damn large.
Did you just make up that answer? really, not being snarky... insurance companies, large AMCs and IHNs, and CMS make up standard fees ACOs are driving the industry to care teams and they make up treatment plans you know a "few healthcare workers"...how quaint tablets (not in healthcare design industry, i have no idea what that is) in healthcare absolutely make healthcare more efficient when used correctly. follow a complex order from floor to pharmacy and back and you will immediately see the need for automation if the slashdot crowd had any idea how inefficient many hospitals are they would be screaming for automation.
all of that said, i really do have no idea what healthcare design industry means. i work in healthcare software. that means what it sounds like.
"After all, with current technology an always on LCD display on a wrist watch isn't possible. And without always on, it's at a disadvantage to real watches for telling the time. And any touch UI on a watch small enough to look good would be terrible."
This is just wrong. I am currently wearing my third Garmin watch. It includes an always on LCD, the UI is very usable and touch sensitive. Not only is it usable sitting around, its even usable at a full out run. I can navigate the UI while running a reasonably fast marathon. Plus it includes a full GPS and is waterproof. Over the years the watches have shrunk in size, gotten better touch sensitive screens, added wireless connectivity, improved GPS performance, and added color screens.
the DB25 SCSI connection was a disaster. I knew so many people who mixed up non SCSI db25 devices (e.g. iomega zip drives) and killed their chain. the standard SCSI1 and SCSI2 interfaces used on many unix boxes were much better and were clear that it was SCSI ahh the bad old days. SCSI was fast but not being able to plug it in/out hot was such a mess.
i have worked at many, many of the largest and most prestigious hospitals (like hundreds of them) in this country (and many others) and all have VPNs options. Mostly IPSec but a few use other remote access tools. Its a requirement to run a hospital today.
Its also often Commercial Off the Shelf software. COTS.... This is a frequent requirement for DoD software. they don't want custom builds if they can avoid it. we have had this request many times.
IU has never been a football power house its all basketball and all in, they had a very good year. would loved to see them do better in the tournament but a great regular season.
usually the military hikers are not officially bibbed runners. so they don't start with the runners and aren't timed. at the boston marathon this week for instance, i started with the first wave, 3rd corral (so very up front, 3 of 27 corrals) and i passed many military already long hiking. so they must have started long before the official start. they usually finish far, far, far behind the elite, far behind the serious amateurs, far behind the casual runners, well into the charity runners.
there are military at nearly every marathon with backpacks. especially the big ones they hike the course alongside the runners. i've run 8 marathons (including this years boston marathon) and at 6 of them there were various military hikers. they are always very supportive of the runners and vice versa this has nothing to do with the bombings.
Slashdot Mirror
i think that was a apple ][gs
if it is a piece of cake for you, run faster. until it is not a piece of cake.
a 5k lolly gaggy is a piece of cake, until you run it hard and its not.
that is not how world records are set. look at the splits for the world records. they aren't positive or negative splits grossly, they are flat. consistent running is fastest.

race times in boston do NOT count as a world record. as was evidenced in 2011. it was a wonderful day that day, cool, tailwind, awesome.

i'm literally trying to get rid of a big CRT right now (in boston)
its in my driveway
my neighbor and i moved it from my basement yesterday and we both barely made it. we are both strong, in shape guys but damn this thing is massive
its replaced with a projector that, in comparison, is so small
i got a ton of basement space free by getting rid of this beast
the sad part is that this is a nice tv, end of the crt era, flat screen, great pic, just too damn large.
i believe the previous post was saying they eat Cat, not catfish. the actual cat, like your pet.
catfish can be prepared very nicely. its eaten all over the midwest and south. perfectly tasty fish.
i eat about anything, but even i have to skip the actual cat. garfield can't be tasty.
Did you just make up that answer? really, not being snarky...
insurance companies, large AMCs and IHNs, and CMS make up standard fees
ACOs are driving the industry to care teams and they make up treatment plans
you know a "few healthcare workers"...how quaint
tablets (not in healthcare design industry, i have no idea what that is) in healthcare absolutely make healthcare more efficient when used correctly.

can you reference a few people who have run a marathon in under 2 hours?
like one? ever....
didn't think so.
fastest marathon time is 2:03
if you click into the link, it looks like three sets, each with three figures.
