Just a hunch, but I'm guessing Chase Morgan has been called Captain Morgan a time or two.
Let's for today be nice and call him something else — Captain Clutch.
Because after Fairmont State's men's basketball team's heart-pounding 83-81 win over Charleston Thursday at a rowdy Joe Retton Arena, the name fits.
Morgan, a 5-11 sophomore guard from Pineville, came off the bench to score 18 points and help the Falcons win for the ninth time in their last 10 tries.
And in this case, it really wasn't all about what what he did — even if he scored 10 points in the decisive second half, went a perfect 4-of-4 performance from 3-point range and hit two key free throws in the waning seconds — but when he did it.
He nailed a deep trey that dropped down just before the red light hit zeros to give FSU a 47-40 lead at the break.
There's no doubt this was a shot that ignited both the crowd and the Falcons going into half No. 2, if for no reason that seeing what happen once FSU returned to the floor, pushing its lead to the biggest all night at 66-53 with 10:53 after another Morgan three.
And once the game got tight again, Morgan again came to the rescue. He halted a UC run by nailing yet another three, this one from the left wing, for a seven-point at the 6:39 mark.
The performance was part of a night that saw FSU shoot 55 percent from the field and make a season-high 10 three-pointers against Charleston.

If you managed to hear first-year head coach Jerrod Calhoun going into Thursday's matchup, you likely heard about the Falcons' need to rebound the basketball.
After all, FSU was plus-13 in that category the first time it took on UC down in Charleston. And despite being about even or a little bit over the plus side for the season as a team, Calhoun knows the Falcons need to crash the boards a lot harder to realize their postseason goals.
"If you look at teams who have gone to Final Fours and won national championships, they're always plus six, seven, eight (in rebounds)," he said. "We about even or plus-one.
"We're a transition team, so we get a lot of easy baskets so there's not a whole lot of rebounds. If we're going to make a run at something big, we've got to plus-six, seven on the glass, and then we'd have a heck of a basketball team."
In fact, going into Thursday, the Falcons had been out-rebounded in three of the last four games. Fairmont State is just 2-4 when being out-rebounded this season, and 9-0 when out-rebounding its opponent.
The latter happen again on Thursday, as the Falcons pulled down 13 offensive rebounds (to UC's 15) and held a 32-28 rebounding edge overall.

PLANCHER-LES-MINES, France (AP) - Two-time champion Alberto Contador has dropped out of the Tour de France after crashing during Stage 10 in the Vosges mountains.
The 31-year-old Spaniard with Tinkoff-Saxo Bank becomes the second big favorite to drop out this year after defending champion Chris Froome of Britain crashed out in Stage 5.
Contador began the stage in 4:08 back of race leader Tony Gallopin of France, in ninth place overall.

It's known as "Spice" and can be found in head shops, convenience stores and some tobacco shops.
Some refer to it as incense, fake pot or medical pot and have taken it to get the" high" without detection by a drug test.
It looks like clumped marijuana, yet is a different color. It is ingested either by snorting or by smoking it.
This particular chemically manufactured substance was the subject of a law enforcement seminar held in Fort Gibson on March 27.
Local law enforcement, led by Chief of Police Clint Vernon, was present along with his team and officers from Hulbert to be trained in how to detect the packaging and how to enforce the new ban in Fort Gibson.
"This was great training. Everybody got a lot of information," Vernon said. "I have heard it before and now it is a city ordinance making it illegal to buy or sell the substance. It is a Class I Misdemeanor and includes jail time plus a fine."
The session was led by Cindy Farmer, who is director and coordinator of Cherokee County Juvenile Drug Court and has extensively researched and studied this product for over three years.
Farmer is particular concerned that the marketing of this product appears kid friendly, she said.
The packaging includes candy and flavors like bubblegum and blueberry, which is highly deceptive, she said.
"The results of getting high from this substance can be devastating," Farmer said. "This is like playing Russian Roulette."
Some of the common symptoms experienced by users and documented by Farmer include vomiting, shaking, hallucinations, heart palpitations, paranoia, extreme agitation, to psychosis, seizures and even suicide.
Some of the reasons this product is not widely known is the "Code of Silence" amongst the users, particular our youth, Farmer said. That, and it is falsely thought to be safe, she said.
Although the chemicals used in the product were previously not banned, now there are tests available which can detect its use.
When asked why she has worked so hard in getting the word out to the general public, Farmer said, "This is the preventative side of our juvenile drug court system. It takes a whole community to work with this problem."

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Since Theodore "Ted" Wright's plane crashed in the Gulf of Mexico, the last place one might expect to see him is soaring through the sky on a jetliner.
But the Port Kent native's epic story of skill and survival captivated the media's attention, and he found himself flying once again.
He has been to New York, Los Angeles and a few cities in between recounting his Sept. 20 ordeal on numerous national talk shows.
On Wednesday, he stopped by "The Today Show," and the next day he was joking with Al Roker on his Weather Channel show, "Wake Up with Al."
Wright's story was also featured on "Inside Edition" and "The Jeff Probst Show."
"Anderson Cooper wanted us on his show today, too," he laughed Friday in a phone interview from Tennessee. "It's been hectic. I am just kind of worn out."
Wright, 27, and friend Raymond Fosdick, 36, boarded Wright's twin-engine Beechcraft Baron for a flight from Baytown, Texas, to Sarasota, Fla., heading to a business meeting. But a serious cockpit fire left no choice but to kill the electric power and ditch the plane 30 miles off the coast of Louisiana.
The two free-floated for three hours, enduring painful stings from a Portuguese man-of-war before the Coast Guard was able to locate and rescue them.
"I can tell you we were in the water 2 minutes and 59 seconds too long," Wright said.
Despite the accident, he hopes to change the perception some have of small planes and general aviation as dangerous and even deadly.
"There's a lot of misconception about general aviation. The idea that small airplanes aren't safe is really not true," he said.
Wright blames the same media that can't get enough of his story for sometimes helping to fuel this false impression.
"You see that the only time general aviation gets media coverage is when something like this happens," he said.
He also aims to erase any confusion that airplanes are for the super wealthy, they are environmentally dangerous and that the government spends too much money investing in general aviation.
Wright said he would never discourage anyone from flying in or owning a small plane.
"You're more likely to be killed in a fatal car accident on your way to catch a flight than in the plane," he added. "Anything can happen to anyone, anywhere."
He is also using his sudden fame to spread the word about his charity, Around the World for Life.
The aircraft that crashed was the same plane he used to transport sick children to hospitals for treatment, and now Wright is on the hunt for a new plane.
"This has definitely put our organization a couple steps back," he said. "But we are going to continue doing what we do."

Integrating PHP and Perl
Setting up PHP::Interpreter is basically a standard Perl module installation procedure. You can get it from search.cpan.org/dist/PHP-Interpreter. Unpack it, and create the Makefile:
perl Makefile.PL
Compile it:
And, install it:
make install
You can do an additional:
pod2html interpreter.pm > interpreter.html
and keep the documentation file for future reference.
We also use the CPAN module File::Tail, which allows us to monitor a log file continuously. You can get this module from search.cpan.org/dist/File-Tail.
Unpack it, and create the Makefile:
perl MakeFile.PL make make install
Now, fire up a text editor, and start coding:
1. use PHP::Interpreter; 2. use File::Tail; 3. use threads ('yield', 'stack_size' =>64 * 4096, 'exit' =>'threads_only'); 4. use Thread; 5. my $php = PHP::Interpreter->new; 6. my $ref=tie *FH,"File::Tail",(name=>'/var/log/messages'); 7. while (<FH>) 8. { 9. if($_=~/sshd/) #checks for message from sshd 10. { 11. if($_=!/Failed password for/) #check for a failed password attempt 12. { 13. $ind = rindex($str,'from'); 14. $rind = rindex($str,'port'); 15. $ip = substr($str,$ind+4,$rind-$ind-4); 16. $thr = new Thread \&writems, $ip; 17. $thr->join(); 18. } 19. } 20. } 21. sub writems 22. { 23. `iptables -I INPUT -s $ip -j DROP` 24. $php->include(*"*writems.php*"*); 25. $php->writeIP('ssqlserver','sshwatch','sshusr','sshpass',$_[0]); 26. print $php->eval("echo Succeeded!"); 27. }
In a separate file, write the following script (the file should be named writems.php):
1. <?php 2. function writeIP($dbhost,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpass,$ip) 3. { 4. $conn = mssql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass) 5. or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $dbhost"); 6. $db = mssql_select_db($dbname, $s) 7. or die("Couldn't open database $myDB"); 8. set_time_limit(0); 9. $squery="insert into sshwatch(currentdate,ip) 10. values('".date('Y/m/d')."','".$ip."')"; mssql_query($squery); 11. } 12. ?>
To run the application, simply run the Perl script:
Perl scriptname
In Line 25, you need to fill in the correct settings for your MSSQL server installation. You also need to have a PHP installation with support for MSSQL. This is usually done by passing the switch -with-mssql during the compilation of PHP. Some distributions also require you to install FreeTDS, which is used by PHP to access MSSQL.
Now, let's review some specific portions of the code. To use the PHP::Interpreter in your code, declare its use, as in line 1. To create a new instance of PHP interpreter, do as is shown in line 5:
my $php = PHP::Interpreter->new;
As with object-oriented programming, you now can invoke methods on the $php object to achieve interoperability with PHP. The above code shows two functions provided by the PHP::Interpreter for interoperability. In line 24, we are calling the include() function, which includes a PHP script file to the environment, and you can call functions defined in the file natively from the object. We do the same with writeIP in line 25, which is a PHP function declared in writems.php on line 2 of the writems.php listing. The Eval function of the $php object allows you to execute a specific PHP instruction, as with a live interpreter. The instruction is interpreted, and the return may be stored into a variable or used directly, as in line 26. As you can see in the above program, PHP::Interpreter provides an object-oriented mechanism for completely integrating the two languages. This integration is achieved with only two lines of code: the initial use statement and the instantiation of the object. PHP::Interpreter is not only about calling functions and procedural programming, it also works with object-oriented PHP. This is how you can instantiate an object of class defined in a PHP:
my $instance = $PHP->instantiate('PHPclass', @args);
The instance is stored in $instance, and any arguments are passed to the class' constructor.
The biggest advantage of Perl/PHP integration is PHP's ability to access Perl CPAN modules. There are CPAN modules for almost everything that can be done via software; you can use PHP::Interpreter in PHP to call CPAN modules to extend a PHP application to do anything, which is not native to PHP—for example, it enables you to write to IO ports. Writing to IO ports has been the exclusive domain of C/C++ programs, but with PHP::Interpreter, even a mere scripting language can have the capability to write to IO ports. The example that follows shows how to use Perl code with PHP, but first, we discuss the features of PHP::Interpreter that allow PHP/Perl integration.
The PHP interpreter, invoked via PHP::Interpreter, has a special class that allows PHP to Perl communication. Create an instance of the class via this call in PHP:
1. <?php 2. $perl = Perl::getInstance(); 3. ?>
The new $perl object allows you to evaluate specific Perl instructions in PHP, such as:
1. <?php 2. $perl = Perl::getInstance(); 3. $perl->eval(q^ 4. print "Executing Perl code in PHP\n"; 5. ^); 6. ?>
Similar to Example 1, where we called a PHP function in Perl, you can call Perl subroutines in PHP. All subroutines defined in the Perl program, which instantiated the PHP::Interpreter instance, can be invoked like this (I will provide a more detailed example shortly):
1. <?php 2. $perl = Perl::getInstance(); 3. $return = $perl->call('sub', @args); 4. ?>
And, of course, you can get and set variables from the Perl file that instantiated the PHP::Interpreter; however, only package variables, not lexical variables, are supported.
Let's look at a practical application of PHP/Perl integration—for example, a snippet of Perl code that uses the Babel Fish CPAN module. (Babel Fish is a piece of software that allows you to translate text between different languages. To learn more about Babel Fish, go to babel.altavista.com.) The PHP program calls the translate function, which will be implemented in Perl, to translate a string in English to German and retrieve the output.
To install the Babel Fish CPAN, go to search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DM/DMUEY/AltaVista-BabelFish-v42.0.1.tar.gz, and install it with the standard installation procedure, as shown previously in this article.
AltaVista::BabelFish also has some prerequisites, such as Class::Std and Class::Std::Util. These need to be downloaded and installed for Babel Fish to work:
1. use AltaVista::BabelFish; 2. use PHP::Interpreter; 3. my $p = PHP::Interpreter->new(); 4. $p->include("phpscript.php"); 5. my $val = $p->invoke(); 6. sub translate 7. { 8. my $phish = AltaVista::BabelFish->new({ source => $_[0], target => $_[1] }); 9. return $phish->translate($_[2]) or die $phish->get_errstr(); 10. }
The phpscript.php file contains the following:
1. <?php 2. function invoke() 3. { 4. $perl = Perl::getInstance(); 5. $string = $perl->call('translate', 'en','de','Translate this for me'); 6. print "Translated string: $string\n";| 7. } 8. ?>
Let's look at this piece of code in more detail. In line 4 of the PHP program, we are creating an instance of the Perl class using Perl::getInstance(). This is the special class inserted by the PHP::Interpreter dynamically into the environment to achieve PHP to Perl integration.
In line 5, we then use the class object, $perl, to invoke a function called translate, which is defined in line 6 of the Perl program, and we pass the arguments accordingly. The subroutine translate is invoked from the Perl script, and the translation is done via the Babel Fish module. The translated string is returned to PHP and printed via the print statement. Although this is a rudimentary example, the entire script can be extended to provide runtime translation for viewers of a dynamic Web page generated from PHP. With CPAN and the PHP::Interpreter, the possibilities of what can be achieved in PHP are bounded only by the developer's imagination.
You can use the PHP Perl class for object-oriented Perl as well. Invoke a Perl object via the new() function, as follows:
1. <?php 2. $perl = Perl::getInstance(); 3. $instance = $perl->new('perlclass', @args); 4. ?>
The first argument to the new() method, in line 3, is the name of the class, and additional arguments are passed to the constructor of the class.
Installation of PHP::Interpretor
Hi there!
I'm using a xampp installation under Windows. Sadly, I'm restricted to using a Windows environment. Is there any way to install the PHP::Interpretor in this environment? When running the Makefile.pl, I always get the error php-config not found. I don't quite understand what to do here. Maybe someone could help me? Thank you very much :-)
PHP and Perl Integration
Good Article to know about Perl and PHP Integration. Thanks a lot.
there is no information or
there is no information or not obvious information on how to get the perl in php module or how to install it.
It is not evident, but you should use DBD::Sybase to access MS SQL. Also you can use DBD::ODBC and several other modules.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment.

The NFL has announced the names of three players eligible for the 2010 supplemental draft: Northwestern State (La.) RB Quinton Castille, Brigham Young RB Harvey Unga and Truman State (Mo.) H-back Vanness Emokpae.
Castille (6-1 3/8, 250, 4.79 in the 40) totaled 349 yards on 107 carries (3.3-yard average) with one touchdown for the I-AA Demons in 2009. He would have been a senior this fall. He began his collegiate career at Nebraska, where he gained 810 yards and 10 touchdowns in two seasons while sharing carries with Marlon Lucky and Roy Helu. Castille rushed for 125 yards against Clemson in the '09 Gator Bowl but was dismissed the following August for a violation of team rules. He did, however, receive a positive recommendation from Huskers head coach Bo Pelini, who had a pre-existing relationship with Northwestern State head coach Bradley Dale Peveto dating back to their days on the LSU coaching staff.
A hard-charging, one-back type with a history of nicks and bruises, Unga (6-0 3/4, 245, 4.65 est.) withdrew from BYU in April following a violation of the school's honor code, speculated to be premarital sex (Unga's girlfriend also withdrew from the school). He rushed for 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons with the Cougars, including 1,087 yards on 208 carries (5.2) with 11 touchdowns in 2009. He lost 15 pounds during a bout with swine flu in the summer and then pulled a hamstring late in fall camp, contributing to a slow start. Unga also had 102 career receptions.
Emokpae (5-11e, 240e, 4.8 est.), having already graduated from Truman State, opted to enter the supplemental draft rather than go through his senior season under a new coaching staff. Listed as a receiver for the D-II Bulldogs, Emokpae led the team in receiving (365 yards) and rushing (524 yards) last fall after having torn his ACL and MCL in the first game of the '08 season. He also has some experience returning kicks and did some punting as a freshman. Emokpae was an All-State high-jumper as a Texas prep and helped put himself on the radar by showing off his leaping ability for scouts in the spring.
Teams are allowed to test the players and administer physicals prior to the supplemental draft, which is scheduled for Thursday, July 15. In the event a team makes a selection next month, it would forfeit the corresponding selection in next April's draft.
Former Kentucky DL Jeremy Jarmon (taken in the third round by the Redskins) was the only player selected in last year's supplemental draft. Notable supplemental selections include Cris Carter (Eagles, '87), Bernie Kosar (Browns, '85) and Jamal Williams (Chargers, '98).

Questions & Answer for Wheat Grass
On April 29, 2014 phil asked:
- Q: Are the quality controls any different for wheat grass produced in China as compared to that produced in the U.S.? Why does the picture of 'organic wheat grass powder' look so much lighter in color as compared to the picture of 'organic wheat grass powder (US)'?
- A: On the production side, the quality controls are similar in that both are certified organic and therefore inspected yearly by a third-party certifying agency at each step of production (in addition to having their own quality controls, of course). In terms of our in-house quality control, that's the same - we test both for product identity, for heavy metals, for pathogens, organoleptic properties, etc.
The color difference is based on growing conditions/climates and processing. Both vary in color a bit, and the images on our site probably show the difference at the extreme. - starwest staff

TIPS will meet at the beautiful Westin St. Francis Hotel as we conclude our year-long 80th Anniversary celebration. As you know, my term will come to an end and we will welcome Gene Beckham as the new Chair of TIPS. It has been an absolute honor and privilege to serve as your Chair over the past year as we've celebrated 80 years of relevance, professionalism and excellence in the profession. I look forward to watching the continued success of TIPS, which would not be possible without you, our wonderful members.
If you haven't yet had a chance to register for the Annual Meeting and purchase tickets to TIPS networking events, I encourage you to do so as soon as possible. TIPS will present valuable CLE programs including a Presidential CLE Showcase program entitled, Do You Really Know What You Are Eating? which will address litigation and legislation relating to food labeling, advertising, and food fraud. Other programs will cover hot topics including women in the law, lawyers as corporate directors, managing the risks inherent in heinous crimes, transportation/accident scene investigations, internet libel and ethics. We are also holding a number of important networking events that you won't want to miss, including the Welcome, Pursuit of Justice and Liberty Achievement Award Reception and the James K.

Best Memories
My best TIPS memories all involve special people or special places and, in many instances, both. Although a member for many prior years, I attended my first in-person TIPS events in 1993, an Insurance Coverage Litigation Mid-Year Meeting in Phoenix and the Annual Meeting in NYC. These two events resulted in my first two TIPS assignments and began friendships and involvement on TIPS issues that still continue, 20 years later. At that first Annual Meeting, I attended a reception at a major museum and met for the first time, a fellow Mainer and Michigan alum who would later become Chair of TIPS. I remember him telling me that night that he planned to become President of the ABA and he did!
The Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee (ICLC) immediately became my general committee home within TIPS and I have great memories of many of the meetings and different places we visited before we found our home for our Mid-Year Meetings at the Arizona Biltmore. Many of my best TIPS friends come from this group, a number of whom have served as ICLC chair and have stayed involved for 20 years. I remember talking to Barbara O'Donnell about how she could get involved and two years later (or less) she was Chair of the ICLC! At "her" meeting in Rancho Bernardo, I met future Chair Robin Westerfield for the first time and found out in casual conversation that not only had this Californian gone to high school with my husband in Indiana, but he had a picture of him and their Boy Scout troop on his living room wall! Talk about your small world. Years later in Austin, we were talking about ICLC leadership succession and trying to identify a worthy policyholder counsel to become Chair and realized that Jill Berkeley had never been Chair of the committee. We were shocked because it seemed like she had always been there directing things and we made it official shortly thereafter.
My first standing committee, which ultimately became what is now Diversity in the Profession, introduced me to many of the people who would become TIPS current leaders. TIPS has come a long way since then, but we still have a long way to go. The first program I ever planned for TIPS was a diversity-themed panel for the Annual Meeting in New Orleans. Another great memory relating to TIPS diversity is Jim Carroll's Mid-Year Meeting in Salt Lake City, where we started with a leadership retreat in Park City. We came out of that retreat with two goals-improving diversity in TIPS and providing better support for our general committees-and we made major strides as a result of Jim's leadership. I also remember walking around Salt Lake City with Bob Peck and discussing the Roberts nomination to the Supreme Court. I've learned a lot about a lot of interesting things through TIPS.
TIPS Fall Meetings have introduced me to some of my favorite places-Jackson Hole, Santa Fe, and Vail, just to name a few. In Jackson Hole, I discovered hiking and bought my first pair of hiking boots. I also discovered how very long and tall the legs of a moose can be when one walked ahead of us on our way back to our cabin!
Other fond memories, in no particular order include:
-Learning at a reception on Rodeo Drive that Alex Gonzalez and Ron Richman had both been in the JAG corps and are two of the funniest lawyers on earth
-Coordinating travel to TIPS meetings with Carole Smith and learning from her editing skills on minutes of Council meetings and other TIPS writings
-Chairing ICLC when Kim Hogrefe and Kirsten Christophe Co-Chaired PODL and Patricia Thompson Chaired Fidelity & Surety
-Introducing my small son to Sandy McCandless at the Fall Meeting in Maine and his exclamation of "she's cute!"
-Receiving a call from Jim Carroll asking if I would present the Hecker Award to my friend Jill
-Serving on Council and meeting my royal family-the King of Tennessee, Queen of Alabama, and Little Prince of Philadelphia
-Being pulled aside by Dick Semerdjian in Palm Springs to tell me that I would receive the Christophe Award and later receiving it in Washington D.C. from Kim-Kirsten's friend and mine
-Jeff Kichaven as a Kabuki mediator at the ICLC Mid-Year Meeting in Miami Beach
-Going to Kuleto Estate in Napa and other wining and dining spots with my TIPS dining buddies
-Finding some of my best friends ever
My 20 active years in TIPS have resulted in so many memories it is hard to pick the best. 80 years of TIPS has created so many special memories for thousands of TIPS members. Happy 80th Anniversary TIPS!

New York Times bestselling author, Beth Revis on Tempest: "Julie Cross's thrilling debut is brimming with excitement, romance, and intrigue. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!" The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he's in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it's not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there's no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it's just harmless fun.That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot.

This is what I have been doing...
Monday - chest/triceps
5x5 bench press, incline DB press, weighted dips
3x8-10 skullcrushers
Tuesday - back/biceps
5x5 deadlift, weighted pullups, Dorian rows
3x8-10 DB curls
Thursday - shoulders
5x5 overhead press, rear upright rows, Arnold press, rear delt rows
Friday - legs
5x5 squat, stiff-legged deadlift, leg press, leg curls
I train core every lifting day, alternating between low reps-high weight and adding weight with moderate reps and also between strictly abs, direct oblique work, and a mix. Core training is boring, so I like to switch it up to keep it fresh.
And here's what I'm thinking of doing instead because I want to drop my shoulder day to make it a 3 day split so I have time for doing sprint workouts.
Monday - Push:
bench press
overhead press
incline bench press
Wednesday - Pull:
bent over rows
side bends
Friday - Legs:
leg press
leg curls
I really want to incorporate an explosive movement like power cleans but I don't know where to put them. My pull day seems pretty heavy already. Any suggestions? Up to this point, I've had no problem coming up with my own routines but I'm at a crossroads with going to almost a full body workout here.
Here's a new tentative routine with changes made based on suggestions from another forum, still open for suggestions:
Monday - Legs:
leg press
leg curls
DB lunges
Wednesday - Push:
bench press
overhead press
incline bench press
side bends
Friday - Pull:
power cleans
bent over rows
Now to determine the reps and sets!
Here's what I think would work well for rep ranges...
Monday - Legs:
squat 5x5
SLDL 5x5
leg press 5x5 or 3x8-10 (can't decide)
leg curls 3x8-10
DB lunges 3x8-10
Wednesday - Push:
bench press 5x5
overhead press 5x5
incline bench press 5x5
dips 3x8-10
side bends
Friday - Pull:
deadlift 5x3
power cleans 5x3
pull-ups 5x5
bent over rows 5x5
chin-ups 3x8-10
I know I'm not getting any responses here but I wanted to show the recent evolution of my routine. Any comments, suggestions, props?
Here you are goingOriginally Posted by superhombre2k
IMO your shoulder exercise(s) should be after all your chest exercises, unless your intention is to pre-fatigue your shoulders so that the incline and dips hit your shoulders harder.
I never thought of that! I'll put the overhead press after inclines. Dips are for the triceps.Originally Posted by Holto
^this last one looks the best. Some changes I would consider is not doing SLDL, leg curls, and lunges. Drop leg curls, IMO. I like to keep my sets/per workout @ 20 or below. I don't see a point in doing pullups and chins. Deads, Pullups, and rows will hit your back good by themselves, then you add cleans in there. No reason for the chinups at the end.

My reason for having the chins in there as well is to get a more direct hit on my biceps with an underhanded grip because everything else is overhanded and I won't want to overwork the brachioradialis muscle to where I exaggerate the whole Popeye forearms thing. Do you think that would be a problem with all the overhanded movements? I'd like to drop either chins or pullups and just do the one for the sake of volume and time.
do either one chins or pullups they both hit your back, you choose.They're both very effectiveOriginally Posted by superhombre2k

Thanks for the tips. I posted about this on another forum and I definitely think I'll just be doing pull-ups. Other changes which seem logical are to do 3x8-10 for leg press and 3x8-10 for incline DB press. Tomorrow I'll be switching to this split and I'll be posting in my log.

Teenage girl killed on camping trip by barbecue fumes in tent
4:45pm Thursday 17th January 2013 in News
A teenage girl was killed by fumes from a barbecue placed inside a tent to keep her warm during a family camping trip, an inquest has heard.
Hannah Thomas-Jones, 14, succumbed to the "silent killer'' of carbon monoxide poisoning after gases from the barbecue collected in the area where she was sleeping in Shropshire.
The tragedy has been revealed months after a similar case in the New Forest.
Coroners in Bournemouth heard in July last year that the parents of six-year-old Isabelle Harris took a charcoal-burning barbecue into their tent at Holmsley campsite to keep their daughter warm – but she died from inhaling the fumes.
In the latest incident Hannah, from Handforth, near Wilmslow, Cheshire, was pronounced dead in May last year after paramedics were called to a campsite in Bucknell, south Shropshire.
Three other family members, including Hannah's mother and stepfather, were treated in hospital for the effects of carbon monoxide produced by the embers of the bucket-type barbecue.
The inquest in Wem, Shropshire, heard that family members took precautions to guard against an accidental fire when they moved the barbecue into the porch of the tent, but were unaware of the dangers of carbon monoxide.
Recording a verdict of accidental death, Coroner John Ellery told members of Hannah's family: "It's quite clear that you and many, many people were unaware of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
"The risk you were addressing when you brought that barbecue in, in its dying embers, was against fire.
"That was a risk you acted against, but sadly what was happening was that carbon monoxide was coming from those embers.
"I accept that those vapours went to the top of the tent and probably found their way down to the far end, where tragically Hannah's head was.
"That may well be the explanation why it was she who was so tragically affected.''
Hannah's mother, Danielle Jones, frequently wiped away tears as she told the inquest how paramedics informed her that her daughter could not be revived on the morning of Sunday, May 6.
Mrs Jones, who paid tribute to Hannah as a "beautiful and wonderful'' person, said several members of her extended family were staying at the Baron of Beef campsite, where they watched the FA Cup Final in a pub on the evening before the tragedy.
After the football match had finished, the family had used the blue Tesco barbecue, which had three metal legs, to keep warm underneath a gazebo.
But after Hannah went to bed at about 10pm, the barbecue was moved into the porch of the tent she was sleeping in.
Mrs Jones, who said it was a cold night, told the coroner: "We decided to take the barbecue into the porch area of the tent.
"We took the lid off the cooker.
"We made sure that effectively it was fire-proof - that if anything fell out it wouldn't catch fire.
"Obviously, we didn't understand the dangers of the carbon monoxide.''
When she awoke the next morning, Mrs Jones' arms and legs felt sore and she could not talk.
"Then I remember a lot of shouting - I remember both the sides of the tent being opened,'' she said.
"I just couldn't do anything, I couldn't breathe.''
Warning against using barbecues inside a building, tent or any other structure, station manager Shaun Baker of Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service told the coroner: "People are aware of the fire risk, but not aware of the gas risk, the silent killer.
"There is a definite need to warn people.''

Perhaps mandating large eye-catching warning labels on things that pose this risk might help?
The cynic in me wonders how many people would actually read them though. We're so oversaturated with warning labels that I suspect many of them are never really even noticed, let alone read and understood/remembere
Maybe it's a good idea anyway, even if it only prevents a single death.

A 39-year-old woman was arrested for leaving her children at home unattended, police said.
According to Sgt. Ogrinc, the department received a call from an adult female on Country Club Road West who stated that a four-year-old girl that lived across the street wandered into her yard alone. When police arrived, they found three other children — ages 13, 10 and 1 1/2 — in the home. Police later contacted their mother Rebecca Young, who was at church.
Young told police that she left the home at 1:30 p.m., but a babysitter was due to arrive at 2 p.m. The call, however, came into the department at 1:24 p.m., according to police. Young was charged with risk of injury to a minor and released on a PTA. She is scheduled to appear on court on May 29.
On May 15, a 75-year-old Mead Street resident reported to police that he received two counterfeit money orders via mail.
According to Sgt. Carol Ogrinc, the complainant told police that a while back he heard about open position as a mystery shopper and applied. When he received an offer of employment, he was told that he was going to receive his first assignment shortly.
He then received an overnight FedEx delivery that contained two postal money order and a note asking for his opinion on service provided by Western Union. Instructions came with the package asking the complainant to deposit the money orders and send the difference to a third party in the Philippines. The complainant told police that he wanted to report the incident in case other residents received a similar package.
A 19-year-old man was arrested on May 16 after getting into a physical altercation with his parents.
According to Sgt. Ogrinc, Ryan Shullman and his parents were at their Middle Ridge Road home when they began to argue. Officers arrived at the scene after his parents called 911, but Shullman had already taken off on foot. Shullman's father had bruising and a small laceration on his face, while his mother had a small mark on her face. The couple also told police that their son broke a window and punched or kicked a hole in the wall.
Canine officers were brought to the scene to look for Shullman, but were unable to locate him. Shullman turned himself in the next day and was charged with two counts of third-degree assault, two counts of disorderly conduct and second-degree criminal mischief. He was released on PTA and was scheduled to appear in court on May 18.
A 21-year-old Chicago man was arrested on May 16 for soliciting magazines without a permit, police said. According to Sgt. Ogrinc, Roshawn Wallace turned himself in and was charged with failing to pay or plead to an infraction. He posted a $250 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on May 29. The original arrest was on May 9, 2011 and he failed to appear in court on Nov. 14, 2011.
A 46-year-old woman turned herself into police on a warrant for violation a criminal protective order, police said. According to Sgt. Ogrinc, Maude Letendre of Rye, New York, violated the order granted to her husband after she sent him an email. Letendre told police that she didn't mean to send the email and made the mistake by hitting "Reply All" button. She posted a $5,000 bond and was scheduled to appear in court on May 18.
Jose R. Galavis, 42, of New Norwalk Road turned himself into police on May 16 on a warrant for evading responsibility, driving under the influence, interfering with an officer and improper turn. On March 11, Galavis was involved in a car accident in which he was injured and received treatment at the hospital.

MTA students brighten smiles
Date: April 23, 2009
by: Jen Blanco
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Five-year-old Yoni Morales was all smiles as he reached into a gift bag for his new Spiderman toothbrush.
Through a collaborative effort, he and more than 20 other students at McNeal Elementary School received much-needed dental care April 15 at the Richard T. Conard M.D. Medical and Dental Building at Manatee
Technical Institute's East Campus.
Under the supervision of Lakewood Ranch Dental's Dr. Peter Masterson, students in Manatee Technical Institute's Dental Assisting Program provided each child with a dental cleaning, polishing, fluoride treatment and X-rays. Masterson checked over each child, filled out forms and provided possible referrals about any additional dental care needed.
"Anytime you spend time with kids, it's fun," Masterson said. "It's nice to know a group of people is doing something to help our community and hopefully make it better in the end."
The partnership with MTI is the culmination of a months-long effort by East County school nurses to provide dental care to students with little to no access to dental care. Last fall, Cheryl Stuart, a nurse at McNeal and Braden River elementary schools, began soliciting the help of local dentists to provide care for her students, many of whom had severe tooth decay.
Creekwood Dental provided free care to about 25 students in February as part of the American Dental Association's Give Kids a Smile Day, and at that time, the partnership with MTI had yet to be solidified.
With the assistance of Dr. Masterson, everything came together.
"The hope is that this will swell into something where the students can get dental care," Stuart said. "We're hoping (MTI) can do the cleaning and immediate care and refer them to dentists for bigger problems. (These families) can't get this anywhere else for $10."
Although the partnership is one between public schools, MTI and local dentists, it could not have been accomplished without help from members of the business community, Stuart said.
Soila Abrams and Janet Mendoza, community health workers for the Tillman Full Service Center, transported families who lacked transportation to and from MTI.
McNeal dad William Vasquez, a representative for Proctor & Gamble's Professional Oral Health Division, and East County businessman Hugo Nunez, owner of Mi Pueblo restaurant, provided translation services as well as dental supplies. Vasquez donated toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and other dental products to the children and to MTI, and Nunez provided each child with a gift bag stuffed with an electric toothbrush and other items.
"I was an immigrant to at one time," Nunez said with soft smile. "And, I really enjoy the kids."
So did MTI's Dental Assisting Program students, who normally do not get to work on children. Program Director Kimberly Bland said the experience was invaluable for her students.
"We know of the community's need," Bland said. "That was one of the main reasons we wanted to do this. Secondly, we want our students to be exposed to public need. We're trying to get a feel for what needs to be done."
Organizers are not sure how often children will be able to receive dental care through the partnership with MTI, but Bland said she hopes to offer the service at least twice a year. Availability will depend largely on the support from the local dental community because a dentist must be present for MTI students to work on patients.
No other dentists have offered their services at this time, Stuart said.
The program is intended for children whose families cannot afford dental care. Anyone wishing to contribute or seeking more information should contact Sue Troxler at 751-6550.

In 2008, Obama managed to win over both the financial sector and the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Now he seems to have pissed off both ends of that coalition.
Hart: There's a fascinating point from the exit polls that supports part of what Matt is saying. When you ask voters who is most to blame for the current economic crisis, 35 percent say it's Wall Street bankers, 29 percent say it's George W. Bush and 23 percent say it's Barack Obama. However, among those who say it's Wall Street bankers, 56 percent voted for the Republicans in this election. So go figure.
That said, I worry that if the president and the Democrats were to follow Matt's advice, they would be appealing to the smallest segment of the electorate. Right now Obama has the support of 85 percent of Democrats. If you want to get America back to work, you don't want to put the people who have the ability to invest on the other side of their fence.
Taibbi: So if we put people in jail for committing fraud during the mortgage bubble, we're endangering our ability to win over the CEOs? Obama should have made sure that there are consequences for people who committed crimes. Instead, he pursued a policy of nonaction, and that left him vulnerable with ordinary people who wanted an explanation for why the economy went off the cliff.
Gergen: I don't think his problem is he hasn't put enough people in jail. I agree that when people commit fraud, they ought to spend some time in the slammer. But there's a tendency in today's Democratic Party to turn away from someone like Bob Rubin because of his time at Citigroup. I served with him during the Clinton administration, when the country added 22 million new jobs, and Bob Rubin was right at the center of that. He was an invaluable adviser to the president, and he is now arguing that one of the reasons this economy is not coming back is that the business community is sitting on money because of the hostility they feel coming from Washington.
Taibbi: I'm sorry, but Bob Rubin is exactly what I'm talking about. Under Clinton, he pushed this enormous remaking of the rules for Wall Street specifically so the Citigroup merger could go through, then he went to work for Citigroup and made $120 million over the next 10 years. He helped push through the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, which deregulated the derivatives market and created the mortgage bubble. Then Obama brings him back into the government during the transition and surrounds himself with people who are close to Bob Rubin. That's exactly the wrong message to be sending to ordinary voters: that we're bringing back this same crew of Wall Street-friendly guys who screwed up and got us in this mess in the first place.
Gergen: That sentiment is exactly what the business community objects to.
Taibbi: Fuck the business community!
Gergen: Fuck the business community? That's what you said? That's the very attitude the business community feels is coming from many Democrats in Washington, including some in the White House. There's a good reason why they feel many Democrats are hostile — because they are.
Taibbi: It's hard to see how this administration is hostile to business when the guy it turns to for economic advice is the same guy who pushed through a merger and then went right off and made $120 million from a decision that helped wreck the entire economy.
We've talked about the Democrats. What do Republicans have to do now to build on their victory?
Gergen: The danger for the Republicans is that they will overplay their hand. We've had a pattern of newly elected people who feel they have a mandate of some sort, and then go beyond what the public really wants. Clinton got his hand slapped early on because voters thought he had overreached to the left. Then Newt Gingrich and George W. Bush got slapped for overreaching to the right. Now Obama has gotten his hand slapped for pursuing too much government. There's going to be a tendency on the part of some Republicans to sense blood in the water — Obama's wounded, let's spend the next two years taking him out. But the public is clearly looking for action on the economy, not for more politics in the sandbox.
Are there any areas where Democrats and Republicans can reach consensus in the next two years? Or are we looking at total war right up until November 2012?
Hart: There are potentially some areas of agreement in regulatory reform and energy. Social Security could also be an interesting bridge, but it's probably a bridge too far. I think the wars are going to be fought over the budget and health care.
Gergen: On foreign policy, they have the potential to reach an agreement on the endgame in Afghanistan as well as Iraq, and to present a forceful case to the world on Iran. On the domestic front, one of the trickiest questions we're going to face is a showdown between the Republicans and the president over a potential shutdown of the government. We all remember that Clinton used that masterfully to gain an upper hand against Newt Gingrich. That moment seems to be in the offing again, and I don't know how either side is going to play it.
