# Brakes are your enemy. When you step on them, you have spent gas to go nowhere. Think ahead to limit the amount of brakes that you need to use. Trust me, it becomes a habit very quickly and you no longer have to think.
# Coast to red lights. Why use gas when you are going to have to stop?
# Coast down hills. I see a lot of people gunning it just to have to brake when they reach person in front of them.
# Coast to green lights far ahead of you. If it has been green for a LONG time, you might not make that light by the time you get there. That will force you to brake (see #1).
# Don’t tailgate… …In fact do the opposite. Leave plenty of room between you and the person behind you. If the person needs to slow down a little, you can coast to catch up a little instead of using your breaks.
# Take three rights instead of a left. UPS drivers do this in metro areas like NYC and found that they save fuel that would have been spent idling. Only look to do this at those really difficult left turns.
# Use Cruise Control. A constant speed is the most fuel efficient.
# Drive between 40-60 miles per hour. If you have a lighter car, you can aim for the 60 MPH number. If you have a heavier car, you’ll want to go 40 MPH. Go here for more information why.
# Avoid Traffic. Don’t drive during times of high traffic if you can avoid it.
# Use a GPS tracker. Time spent lost is gas wasted.
# Avoid air conditioning (if you stand it). Some tests seem to show that it’s not a big factor, so if it really impacts your comfort level, you might want to consider using air conditioning.

///////////////////Carnegie Mellon Mourns Passing Of Randy Pausch
A walk to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research in North Park next month will now be held in memory of Randy Pausch

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― The Carnegie Mellon University campus is mourning the death of Randy Pausch, the professor whose inspirational "Last Lecture" became an Internet sensation.

Pausch, who has been battling pancreatic cancer since September of 2006, died at his home in Virginia this morning.

Word of his death has quickly spread and calls have been coming in from all over the world from those touched by his message.

Pausch shared his lifelong adventure and the world took note last September when he gave what has come to be known as the "Last Lecture."

Over the past months on the CMU campus, Pausch has kept students, colleagues and friends up to date on the progress of his terminal cancer on a special webpage.

His last posting described how the chemotherapy was making him so sick and weak that it wasn't clear if it was the right tradeoff.

Since he wasn't strong enough to post any more messages, a friend updated the website yesterday explaining: "A biopsy last week revealed that the cancer has progressed further than we had thought from recent PETscans. Since last week, Randy has also taken a step down and is much sicker than he had been. He's now enrolled in hospice."

In an obituary released by the school, Carnegie Mellon President Jared Cohon said, "Randy was a brilliant researcher and gifted teacher. Carnegie Mellon and the world are better places for having Randy Pausch in them."

On campus, people who knew him tried to find words to describe the loss.

"It is very difficult," Pausch's friend, Cleah Schlueter, told KDKA.

Schlueter spoke with Pausch's wife this morning by phone about his final hours.

"He was in pain and I think they knew that he was deteriorating," Schlueter added, "but they didn't thing that he was going to pass so soon. It was kind of unexpected, too."

Pausch, 47, is survived by his wife, Jai, and three young children, Chloe, Dylan and Logan.

When asked about them, Schlueter said "they're going to survive. I mean that's what you have to do. That's what life is all about."

According to a posting on the CMU website, the Pausch family requests that any donations be made to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network or to Carnegie Mellon's Randy Pausch Memorial Fund.

Meanwhile, a walk to raise funds for pancreatic cancer research in North Park next month will now be held in memory of Randy Pausch. "Pick Up The Pace" for pancreatic cancer will be held on Sunday, August 17th at the North Park Boathouse.

Description

When we do a person a favor, we tend to like them more as a result. This is because we justify our actions to ourselves that we did them a favor because we liked them.

Benjamin Franklin himself said, "He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another than he whom you yourself have obliged."

The reverse effect is also true, and we come to hate our victims, which helps to explain wartime atrocities. We de-humanize the enemy, which decrease the dissonance of killing and other things in which we would never normally indulge.
