The Most Dangerous Thing You'll Do All Day By Bill Phillips and the Editors of Men's Health Mar 30, 2011 We stand around a lot here at Men’s Health. In fact, a few of us don’t even have office chairs. Instead, we write, edit, and answer e-mails—a lot of e-mails—while standing in front of our computers. All day long. Why? It all started last summer, when Assistant Editor Maria Masters came across a shocking study in the Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (one of dozens of research journals we comb each month as we put together the magazine). Scientists at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana analyzed the lifestyles of more than 17,000 men and women over about 13 years, and found that people who sit for most of the day are 54 percent more likely to die of heart attacks. That’s right—I said 54 percent! Masters immediately called the lead researcher at Pennington, a professor named Peter Katzmarzyk. Turns out, this wasn’t the first study to link sitting and heart disease. Similar research actually dates back to 1953, when British researchers found that (sitting) bus drivers were twice as likely to die of heart attacks as (standing) trolley operators. Here’s the most surprising part: “We see it in people who smoke and people who don’t,” Katzmarzyk told Masters. “We see it in people who are regular exercisers and those who aren’t. Sitting is an independent risk factor.” In other words, it doesn’t matter how much you exercise or how well you eat. If you sit most of the day, your risk of leaving this world clutching your chest—whether you’re a man or women—as much as doubles. This raised a rather obvious question: Why? Truth is, the researchers aren’t sure. But Marc Hamilton, Ph.D., one of Katzmarkzyk’s colleagues, suspects it has to do with an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which breaks down fat in the bloodstream and turns it into energy. Hamilton found that standing rats have ten times more of the stuff coursing through their bodies than laying rats. It doesn’t matter how fit the rats are; when they leave their feet, their LPL levels plummet. Hamilton believes the same happens in humans. |

Then lets ACMI for them. If we are going to teach all these airlines how to run efficiently and incorporate them into our "fold", then we need to get something concrete for our efforts.

Days Inn is ok. They have bar/restaurant in the hotel. Quality Inn is also ok, it's next to DaysInn. Howard Johnson is cheap, but it's motel style building, so you have to walk outside to get to your room. I never felt unsafe, but some may not like that. HoJo is next to LaQuinta, and behind a strip of restaurants (diner, Chinese, and Mediterranean) so better options for food. They are all about same $40-45, and have van service to airport. |

Don't do the Lexington. The Sheraton (used to be Crowne Plaza) is very nice and I think they give you $44 if you call their front desk. The Baymont is ok, and I think the La Qunita just went through a renovation.
La Q has been renovating, so they have a lot less rooms available and when they reopen they will become a Holiday Inn Express (or that was the last plan they told). |
