How To Breathe When Running | Complete Running Network
"Many experts will say that to fully oxygenate the muscles and clear the body of carbon dioxide you should breathe a 3:2 inhale-to-exhale ratio; full inhales and full exhales. This means you INHALE on the LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT foot strikes and EXHALE fully on the RIGHT, LEFT foot strikes. This pattern is not that hard to turn into a habit, but it may require you to slow your pace down for a few runs to master the technique. You will notice a lower heart rate as you are able to get more oxygen in and more importantly push all the carbon dioxide out of your body. You may notice that you naturally drop to a 2:1 ratio when you are really pushing it to the finish. That is OK. But realize it is difficult to maintain a pace that requires you to breathe at a 2:1 ratio." - Wang Yip from Bookmarklet
Question for runners: is this article saying to breathe out on your right foot striking? I've always heard that you should breathe out when your left foot strikes - Wang Yip
I'm not a runner but I understand it this way: Each inhale+exhale cycle takes 5 steps, 3 for inhale and 2 for exhale. Since it's an odd number the pattern will alternate with exhaling starting on the right for one cycle and on the left for the next. - Fred Yankowski

"It's not always party pictures, though, that can get athletes in trouble. Texas backup center Buck Burnette was dismissed from the team this past season after he posted an inflammatory message regarding President Barack Obama on his Facebook account." - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet
Here's a novel concept: Why not just accept the fact that these are college just students, and stop treating them like paid spokespeople who have to uphold some anal-retentive norms made up by colleges? They're going to go out there and do stupid things like we all did in college; just because it shows up on Facebook doesn't mean any of it's *actually* surprising to anyone. - Joel Webber
why would anyone care what players have to say on anything other than their game? if they have to be role models, why on something they have no clue about? - Gregor J. Rothfuss
Gregor: I don't think most of the incidences are about politics or anything. They are just kids being kids, who happen to be semi-celebrities because of their pro prospects. So they go to a party and do a keg stand, and all of a sudden it is on ESPN.com and they lose their scholarship. I have a lot of sympathy for the college students living this life - the scrutiny is a lot more than anyone else on campus. - Bret Taylor
right, the problem is not with the kids, it is with society projecting moral panic into these players. the same silliness happens with the private lives of politicians. - Gregor J. Rothfuss
Liked for Joel's comment. If they are students, let them act like students. If they are athlete/representatives, then pay them for all the money they are earning the school! - Antonio Yon

I wonder if the healing is what is prevent her growth. After all, learning and growing involves break down some tissue/brain cells and rewiring them into larger muscles/new neural networks. If she "healed" all of those breaks before they were finalized then that would explain she stays the same.

Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources » The best there is at being emasculated
"Dan Piraro, creator of the comic strip Bizarro, talks about the strip that ran this past Sunday — “Ex Men” — and how he regrets the strip about men estranged from their families ran on Father’s Day. “So I’d like to apologize to any estranged fathers out there who found this cartoon to be painful,” he wrote on his blog. “I got divorced in the mid-nineties when my daughters were 9 and 14, so I know it can be tough. On the bright side, it probably isn’t a tough as being a huge, blue furry guy with a face like a baboon’s ass. So count your blessings.”" - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

The guy who took the iconic picture of the Iranian protests, Amir, is now on friendfeed. His  site has now been banned in Iran. More:
Amir's friendfeed account is http://friendfeed.com/amirpix -- his photography reminds me of one quote I remember from my photojournalism classes at San Jose State University: "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." That quote was from Robert Capa, here's an article in Time Magazine about Capa: http://www.time.com/time... - Robert Scoble from Bookmarklet
This image is iconic. I've looked at thousands of images from Saturday. It is the best one out of all the images of the Iranian elections and if it doesn't win the Pulitzer Prize it'll be a damn injustice. - Robert Scoble
Thanks for keeping up on this Robert. Great Job! - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I don't remember being able to talk to the photographer who has made a historic image within hours of the image being made. Another small way our world has changed. - Robert Scoble
Pretty incredible how fast it changes and how fast it all works - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
makes the news far more real watching it unfold in real time - Roger Oldham
He shot quite a bit of video too, which is on his friendfeed account. I hope that he eventually can tell us more about the context of this image. What was going through his mind as he pressed the shutter. - Robert Scoble
I can't wait until his image joins these other Pulitzer Prize winners: http://www.newseum.org/exhibit... -- if you ever are in Washington DC, this is a must-visit exhibit at the Newseum, by the way. They have every Pulitzer-prize winning photos with the stories from the photographers of how the images were made. - Robert Scoble
So awesome we're able to get this kind of coverage and intimate ambiency with news & newsmakers. Never would get this the traditional way. - phil baumann
I just hope he's safe with all the eyes that are on him. They blocked his site, but he has unblocked our sight of what is happening there. - Californian
it's re-sensitizing for a world which had become numb to the impact of dramatic news breaking - Roger Oldham
I hope Amir comes out of this OK. Iran has banned his site, and the government there isn't friendly to those who do real journalism. I hope someday to meet Amir and go on a photowalk with him. He does great work. - Robert Scoble
For kids studying journalism in college, right now must be an exciting time. - phil baumann
I like the image and its a strong representation of the moment but I wouldn't be too hasty in giving it iconic status. This story is still playing out and no one knows where it'll end and Amir and others covering this on the ground might well come out with Iran's "Tank Man" or "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" before its over. I hate to play devil's advocate but I felt it was too early to be calling this. I just hope he stays safe whilst covering this story - Jon Dillon
it's amazing how powerful a single photo can be. - Chris Pugh
Jon: sorry, but you're wrong. This is an image akin to the guy standing in front of the tanks in Tianenmen Square (which also won a Pulitzer). I knew immediately when I first saw that image that it would be the one that history remembers from that day. This is the image that history will remember from Saturday. If there's another image that's better, well, then two Pulitzers should be handed out. - Robert Scoble
@Jon - I'd respectfully disagree. Even if you take this photo out of context (if you don't know the situation), this is one, lone woman, raising a flag against a host of riot police descending on her. That alone is an amazingly powerful moment, quite possibly iconic. - Jennifer Dittrich
All the photos on the blog post of his are fascinating ... talk about live news coverage - Violet Bliss Dietz
whoops ... here's the blog post url http://tehranlive.org/2009... - Violet Bliss Dietz
BTW: Boston.com's The Big Picture has tons of great photos from the day too: http://www.boston.com/bigpict... -- wonderful examples of photojournalism. - Robert Scoble
But none of Boston.com's examples come close to the power of Amir's photo, although several are gripping and several deserve Pulitzer status as well. - Robert Scoble
I was also rather surprised hearing Kaddafi during his visit to Italy say "Women are like a piece of furniture you can change when you want and nobody will ever question why you did so". (http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world...) I think we are seeing history in the making. - Michele Costabile
Are you sure she's alone and not just standing out it front? I'm watching images stream in live on the AFP photo wire and there's a ton of very strong shots from Saturday that also define the moment. I didn't want to be seen to be putting this shot down its just when I think of iconic images its usually an image that represents the event not just a facet of an event. Personally I don't think this one is in the same league as Tank Man but time could prove me wrong. - Jon Dillon
These pictures are unbelievable - thanks for sharing Robert! - Ryan Kelly
Michele: Iran's treatment of women is why Amir's image has even more power than most of those on Boston.com's site and other places. It combines women's struggles with those of the struggles to get a democracy. Ryan: thanks, it is an incredible story and we're lucky that so many great photographers were there to make images. It's an interesting time in our lives, too, when technology helps us not just see history but have conversations with those who are both making it and capturing it. - Robert Scoble
This is the new Democracy! using social media to get the opinion of the masses - Constantine Nicolaou
@Jon - I'm pretty sure she is standing in front of other people, but part of the power of the photograph is in isolating her, without anyone else in the frame. That speaks a lot to the skill of the photographer as much as the moment being captured. - Jennifer Dittrich
Amir's full name is Amir Sadhegi, which is listed on the about page on http://tehranlive.org - Robert Scoble
Countries think if they shut off access the problem will go away, when actuality it highlights it. Amir's pictures remind me of Capra too. He absolutely knew how to frame a story. - Janet Fouts
Here's an image Amir made of the woman and another guy running: http://twitpic.com/7c6jz - Robert Scoble
@jennifer - I totally agree, I've been in the news photo biz for many a year and had the pleasure of witnessing many an event unfold through photos in real time. My only issue was whether now was the time to call iconic status on an event unfolding. - Jon Dillon
Jon: I think history will judge this image to be the iconic one. Yes, I do think we can say that when the events are unfolding. We did that with the tank image from Tianenmen. - Robert Scoble
Wow there are a lot of iconic images on that page - Chris Saad
German TV News has a TV special about Twitter/Social Networks and Iran right now - Frank Koehntopp
@Robert - As I said we'll see and always happy to be proved wrong. Although Tank Man didn't hit the wires until June 5th yet the Tiananmen protests began in mid-April. During the seven weeks there was many an image that seemed to define the protests "goddess of democracy", "students feeding soldiers trapped in the crowds" today everyone remembers Tank Man. - Jon Dillon
