?And the SpaceX team is confirming that Dragon has successfully splashed down at 10:42 am Central Time. Dragon is in the water.? NASA mission control, announcing that the first commercial spacecraft to reach the International Space Station has returned to Earth safely.

The Dragon capsule was built by the California company SpaceX. It landed in the Pacific on May 31st and was retrieved by recovery boats after returning from delivering supplies to the ISS.

?It took up 1,014 pounds of cargo, it is now bringing back 1,367 pounds of return items. This is also an important capability, because Dragon will be able to bring home science experiments as well as other items.?

More importantly, the mission demonstrated that a private company could do what only government space agencies had done before: rendezvous with the space station, safely dock with it and return to Earth.

The Dragon was unmanned, but could be configured to carry astronauts. NASA is banking that companies such as SpaceX will help fill the void left by the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011. But that?s all in the future. Today, SpaceX is already flying high.

US, China relations key topic at defense meeting

SINGAPORE (AP) ? Speaking near China's backyard Saturday, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta rejected suggestions that America's new focus on the Asia-Pacific will fuel conflict in the region or that the emerging strategy is meant as a threat to Beijing.

Instead, he appeared to offer an olive branch to the communist giant, with a broad message that the two often-feuding world powers must learn to work better together for the benefit of the entire region.

Delivering his most extensive thoughts to date on the fragile state of U.S.-China relations, Panetta said neither side is naive about their disagreements.

"We both understand the differences we have, we both understand the conflicts we have, but we also both understand that there really is no other alternative but for both of us to engage and to improve our communications and to improve our (military) relationship," Panetta said at a security conference in Singapore.

At the same time, however, Panetta warned Asian nations that they must find a way to resolve their own conflict because the U.S. can't always come charging in to help.

Tensions between the U.S. and China reverberate across the region, and are often focused on America's support of the island of Taiwan, which China considers its own. Another key area of dispute is the South China Sea, which China claims almost entirely as its own. But Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines also have territorial claims there.

In addition, more recently the U.S. has been vocal in blaming China for cyberattacks that emanate from the country and steal critical data from U.S. government agencies and private American companies.

On the cyber front, Panetta said U.S. and Chinese leaders have talked about developing teams that can work together on difficult issues, including how they can exchange information on computer-based threats and whether they can agree on standards for the use of cyber capabilities.

The key, Panetta said, is for the U.S. and China to develop the ability to communicate when disputes arise so that they can be resolved peacefully.

Defense experts attending the conference peppered Panetta with questions about China, including one from a member of China's People's Liberation Army. But officials also noted that Beijing did not send any of its senior leaders to the conference. It was not clear why, although some officials suggested that China's leaders were busy with internal issues.

Questioners asked whether adding more U.S. military to the region might embolden some smaller nations and risk triggering more conflicts. And they wondered aloud whether China's leaders boycotted the conference in protest over America's beefed up strategy for the region.

"I don't think we should take the attitude that just because we improve their capabilities that we're asking for more trouble," Panetta said.

Panetta also issued a strong call for Asian nations to set up a code of conduct, including rules governing maritime rights and navigation in the South China Sea, and then develop a forum where disputes can be settled.

"It isn't enough for the United States to come charging in and try and resolve these issues," Panetta said, adding that the Asian nations must develop ways to peacefully solve their own problems.

Panetta's speech here was designed to give a more detailed explanation about the new defense strategy, which puts more focus on the Asia-Pacific, including plans to increase the number of U.S. military personnel, warships and other assets in the region over the next several years.

Specifically, he said that by 2020, about 60 percent of the fleet will be assigned there as part of a new strategy to increase U.S. presence in Asia. Currently, the Navy has about 285 ships, with roughly half assigned to each coast, but that total may decline a bit as some ships are retired in the coming years and may not be replaced.

The current fleet includes 11 aircraft carriers, with six assigned to the Pacific. The West Coast total is expected to go down to five, but Panetta Saturday said he will maintain 6 carriers in the Pacific, over the long term.

While noting it may take years to complete the transition, Panetta assured his audience at the conference in Singapore that U.S. budget problems and cutbacks would not get in the way of changes. He said the Defense Department has money in the five-year budget plan to meet those goals.

He said he is looking forward to visiting China later this year, adding that he wants to see the U.S. and China deepen their military ties, including on counterdrug programs and humanitarian aid.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who was attending the conference, questioned Panetta's optimism about relations with China, but said he hopes it works out.

He added that the Pentagon must begin planning for the possibility that another $500 million may have to be slashed from the defense budget early next year if lawmakers can't agree on spending cuts in the next several months.

Panetta has said he believes Congress will eventually find a way to avoid the automatic cuts.

Singapore is Panetta's second stop on a nine-day trip through Asia. He was in Hawaii on Thursday and is expected to travel to Vietnam and India.

Workout Harder, Not Longer to Improve Fitness and Health | Traci D ...

Have you ever finished a workout that really got your heart rate up and said, ?That was hard!?? While not every?workout should be a killer, heart-racing bout of exercise, a recent study shows that regular high intensity cardio intervals combined with shorter rest intervals significantly improve fitness. ?A recent University of Copenhagen study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology showed that runners were able to improve their cardiovascular fitness, despite significantly reducing the amount of training they did (by about 50%!).

The runners were all moderately trained (not elite) and followed a 10-20-30 training concept developed by the University?s Department of Exercise and Sports Sciences.?According to SceinceDaily.com, ?The 10-20-30 training concept consists of a 1-km warm-up at a low intensity followed by 3-4 blocks of 5 minutes running interspersed by 2 minutes of rest. Each block consists of 5 consecutive 1-minute intervals divided into 30, 20 and 10 seconds of running at a low, moderate and near maximal intensity, respectively.? After seven weeks of training, runners improved their 1km (.62 miles) time by 23 seconds and 5k time by one minute. That?s huge! Reading through the way the 10-20-30 training concept may sound a bit complicated, but in a nutshell, ?heart rates were brought to near max and then brought them back down again. This was repeated over and over again for about 30 minutes.

Just as significant was the improvement in other areas of the participants? health. Blood pressure was reduced and cholesterol dropped.

The ?less is more? notion of interval workouts is nothing new. I?m a big proponent of quality of exercise versus quantity for the everyday fitness enthusiast. That is, people a lot like you and me who probably?aren?t going to turn pro anytime soon, and are just exercising to stay fit. There are some exceptions, of course. Try telling an Ironman amateur athlete that he or she only needs to do 30 minutes of daily training to improve fitness and you?ll probably see their eyes roll to the back of their head.

A lot of people have a hard time embracing this concept because they?re concerned about not?burning enough calories or fat in just 30 minutes. Here?s the deal?it?s true, while you?re working out during those 30 minutes you won?t burn as many calories as you would if you worked out for 60 minutes. However, after about 15 minutes of slow, steady exercise, your cortisol?actually starts to elevate. When cortisol?elevates, your body decides to burn muscle, not fat. Week after week of this type of training will result in a slower metabolism because you?ve just lost valuable muscle. On the flip side, when you pepper in a series of very high intensity?cardio?intervals, your body will burn fat ? and then continue burning fat long after the workout has ended. Cortisol doesn?t have a chance to catch up because you?re relaxing the body with rest intervals (dropping heart rates). What?s more, you?ll maintain or increase your muscle mass.

The bottom line is you should enjoy?what you do when you?re working out. If that means running an hour a day because it helps clear your head, then keep doing it. It?s also important to balance?your exercises. Doing the same thing day after day can lead to overuse problems, resulting in injury. Shake things up by adding in yoga, pilates, various forms of weight training or some alternatives to cardio training. ?That said, if your goal for working out is to see fat loss and improved muscle mass, consider interval training.

My ebook, 20 High Energy Workouts is filled with interval-only workouts scalable to any?fitness level. Why not download it and give a few workouts a try? If you want something more hands on, my 40-Day Shape Up will be open for business next week!
