The £50 box that could bring internet TV to the masses: Could Alan Sugar's YouView rival Sky?
- Service backed by Alan Sugar aims to bring internet catch up services to the living room TV
- Box initially cost £280 when it went on sale, but firms now set to subsidise it - with TalkTalk and BT offering it to customers from just £50
By Sean Poulter
A new pay-TV service is launched today in the biggest challenge yet to the dominance of Sky.
For a one-off payment of £49 and as little as £4 a month, YouView gives access to the 70-plus Freeview TV channels with the ability to 'pause and rewind' live television.
The YouView box can also record and store 300 hours of programmes and lets you watch the previous week's TV using BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD and Demand 5.

DVR for terrestrial TV: The sleek box can record one channel while watching another
YouView is a joint venture between the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
The basic service, with a set-top box thrown in, costs £49 if installed by BT and TalkTalk, plus a monthly fee starting at £4. In contrast, the cheapest Sky+ package costs more than £250 a year.
Although YouView boxes have been on sale since the summer for around £250, the new deal for BT and TalkTalk customers has brought the price right down and brings in extra services.
BT intends to be a major player, purchasing the broadcast right for 38 Premier League games with BBC sports presenter Jake Humphrey, pictured, to front their sports channel
BT is giving away millions of YouView boxes to broadband customers. The firm says the box is free, but there is a one-off £49 activation charge and a £6.95 delivery fee.
TalkTalk is matching this offer for its broadband customers.
BT intends to be a major pay-TV player following the purchase of the broadcast rights for 38 live Premier League football games, including the opening match of the season, from 2013 to 2016.
BBC sports presenter Jake Humphrey has been hired to front the coverage on a new BT sports channel. It has also snatched live broadcast rights for four years to show Aviva Premiership Rugby.
The BT Vision service sells pay-TV packages including Sky's sports and movie services plus pay-on-demand access to blockbuster films.
The cheapest BT Vision package costs £4 a month, while an enhanced package comes in at £12.50 a month.
By comparison, the cheapest Sky entertainment package costs £21.50 a month. All YouView customers need to pay a monthly broadband line rental to access the services.
At present, around ten million homes subscribe to Rupert Murdoch's Sky channels and 11million have Freeview boxes.
But YouView intends to become a major player, having launched a £10million marketing campaign featuring Gary Barlow and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Lord Sugar, the firm's chairman, said: 'The simple–to-use YouView box allows people to search back an entire week to catch what they've missed and also combines on-demand services with TV channels, providing extraordinary TV for everyone.'
Chief executive Richard Halton said: 'YouView has undergone successful trials in thousands of homes across the country and we are excited about entering the next stage of the journey.'
The key to YouView is to combining traditional broadcast TV and online TV services into one box.
The on screen programme guide lets viewers scroll back into the past and watch shows from broadcasters catchup services.
The vast online archives of iPlayer, 4OD and others can also easily be accessed without leaving the sofa.
As part of the launch, Joanna Lumley re-created famous TV moments, such as Basil Fawlty snapping at his car in the classic Fawlty Towers
First: The YouView box will provide catch-up TV from all the terrestrial channels
The last two years have seen the rise of the smartphone and tablet as second TVs in many homes, with some even abandoning traditional TVs altogether.
Most phones and laptops can easily be hooked up to a TV to view the content on the big screen.
iPhone and iPad owners can even wirelessly 'beam' programmes to their TV using a £99 Apple TV box.
Android phones also have the capability to play most catch-up content, particularly from the BBC and ITV Player, and many phones come with HDMI-out to allow you to hook your phone to your television.
Smart (but expensive) televisions also usually offer the full gamut of catch-up services, as well as YouTube.
Another route is via a games console - bot Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360 can access most of the major services.

After the Confederate defeat at Fort Donelson in February 1862, Nashville surrendered to Union forces. Tennessee Military Governor Andrew Johnson insisted on the fortification of Nashville, a key transportation and supply hub. On August 6, Union Capt. James St. Clair Morton began implementing an elaborate design that made the capital the most heavily defended United States city outside Washington, D.C. More than 2,700 African American laborers constructed Fort Negley, the largest and most complex of Nashville's five major forts.

WE HAVE OUR NEW COACH. CARLESIMO IS THE FUTURE! Oh wait we played the Bobcats, whatever a W is a W.
[–]DurianDurian 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
It is the bobcats but honestly, when was the last time the Nets had an easy win - even against a bad team?
Brook Lopez was unleashed. There was good off the ball movement. I liked that Marshon Brooks had a more cohesive involvement in the game. Teletovic sighting!
And DWill sure recovered from his injured wrist real quick eh?

Brook did work. And we finally pushed the ball and used the athletes we have on our roster. As for the coach, I really want JVG to coach this squad but he said as long as there is an interim he would not entertain an idea. So I say if either Phil or Larry brown dont work, we wait for the right coach, not one of the many that are looking for work.
Brook looked twice as quick as he has been all season. He was active on the boards and didn't once make one of those horrible diagonal dribble moves that end up with him further from the rim than where he started. Joe was fairly passive, but he didn't shoot a horrible percentage and seemed to unsettle the opposing defence whenever he caught the ball with his back to the basket.

Nalgene can trace its roots from a New York science lab to the great outdoors. In 1949, the chemist Emanuel Goldberg developed the first plastic pipette holder, cofounding the Nalge Company in Rochester, New York.
For 30 years, Goldberg and his growing team developed the Nalgene line of state-of-the-art polyethylene laboratory equipment including centrifuge bottles, filter units and storage tanks - not the kind of stuff you toss into your backpack for a weekend in the woods. But the scientists did take the smaller, more convenient bottles out of the lab to use on their hikes and other outdoor adventures.
This "unofficial" use for Nalgene bottles did not go unnoticed, and caught the eye of the Nalgene Company president, Marsh Hyman. Marsh Hyman's son was in the Boy Scouts and like those scientists who worked at his dad's company, he and his fellow scouts soon put to good use the smaller sized Nalgene containers: storing pancake mix, holding shampoo, keeping matches dry, toting along trail mix, and of course, water. Not one to miss an opportunity, Marsh soon incorporated hiking and camping end-use designs into the Nalgene product line.
Today, Nalgene continues to produce BPA-free containers of all types for hiking and camping. At REI, you'll find top-rated and top-selling water bottles, canteens, travel size bottles and more from Nalgene, plus plenty of sale & clearance deals and bargains.

Fantasy breakout hitters
A new formula predicts big things for Eric Hosmer, Brett Lawrie and Jay Bruce
- Recommend0

AP Photo/Getty Images/Getty ImagesBrett Lawrie, Eric Hosmer and Jay Bruce are projected for fantasy greatness in 2012.
These projections also appear in the March 5 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
Computerized projections have come a long way in the last 15 years. With the constant march forward of technology, the models for projecting players are able to do a lot more than they could in the early days of sabermetrics.
While basic midpoint projections are very useful when applied correctly, fantasy players need more than that. After all, competing in your fantasy league isn't just an exercise in overall accuracy of evaluating players, but taking better calculated risks than the other guys.
To get an idea of the fantasy players with the biggest short-term upsides in 2012, we asked the ZiPS projection system to evaluate which players in each 5x5 fantasy category have the best odds of beating their established levels of play by a certain amount. (For players who spent time in the minors, we used minor league translations.)
For example, ZiPS says Evan Longoria has a 43 percent chance of beating his two-year home run average (27) by at least 10 jacks.
For breakout pitchers, click here.
Home runs
Despite already being one of the best players in baseball, ZiPS sees Longoria as having a big homer season or two in him. Still not 27 years old until after the 2012 season, Longoria still has the opportunity to develop more power, which is a scary thought for the rest of the league.
Given Brett Lawrie's age, the odds that his 2011 power will represent a real step forward are quite high. A 29-year-old going from 8 total home runs to 27 total, despite playing harder levels, would be a reason for more skepticism, but in a 22-year-old, it's more likely a real improvement. Just don't expect Lawrie to hit .353 going forward as he did in Triple-A.
Like Lawrie, Eric Hosmer is also not done developing and has the potential to continue to improve his home run count.
You're probably surprised to see both Pedro Alvarez and Mike Stanton on this list. The former because he's been so terrible, and the latter because he's already one of the league's best home run hitters. Let's address them separately.We all know Alvarez has been a big disappointment, but the power potential is still there. Besides, he could hit 30 homers in a full season of playing time and still be a liability in other facets of the game.
As for Stanton, his power is historically impressive given his age, and he's one of the few players in baseball with a real shot at hitting 50 home runs in a season. Of course, much of this depends on how the Marlins' new park plays.

Cameron's magical transformation
To the colorist who managed to get Cameron Diaz's harsh dyed black hair back to this gorgeous, natural-looking, sun-streaked blonde: THANK YOU! With her refined nose and restored blonde locks, the "Shrek" star looks flipping amazing. It's almost like.. magic. Maybe her rumored new flame Criss Angel had something to do with this beauty sleight-of-hand trick? Judging by the next photo, the illusionist gentleman does seem to prefer blondes.
Cindy Margolis and Criss Angel perform their disappearing tongue trick for photographers at Kozak the Magician's party on April 1 in Las Vegas. If Cameron starts wearing plunging neckline gold lame gowns, we'll know he's got her totally mesmerized. Wait, check out this shot from this week's Tokyo premiere of "Shrek the Third" It's happening! She's seriously under his Vegas magic spell! Will breast implants be in her future? Signs point to yes.

- $259 for six laser lipo sessions (a $1,794 value)
- $139 for three laser lipo sessions (an $897 value)
- $49 for one laser lipo session (a $299 value)

Noninvasive laser light spot-treats fat during 20- to 30-minute sessions. The laser energy penetrates the fat cells on problem areas such as the love handles, thighs, and arms. This causes the fat cells to release their fatty acids and glycerol into the body and shrink. The body then flushes out the expelled fat-cell contents via the lymphatic system or burns them for energy. The treatments require no downtime, and most patients see results after one session. The complete recommended course is 18 sessions over three weeks.

Chinatown Laser Like Lipo
Chinatown Laser Like Lipo is a laser lipo machine, which spot-treats fat by shrinking fat cells on selected areas. Other services include the whole-body vibration platform—which boosts circulation and strengthens muscles—and nutritional counseling to help clients keep off recently lost pounds.

A chance meeting with a red cat in a Liberty Street lane gave birth to one of Savannah's newest symbols of whimsy and mystery that is quickly becoming a must-have original work of art.

Charlie Crist should have been a weather forecaster! He could look out the window and tell us what the weather is like. His politics is a poll-dominated weather vane as evidenced by his hugging President Obama, switch from Republican to Independent to Democrat, switch from pro-gun to anti-gun, protesting legitimate requirements for voting, and his general shift from individual self reliance to government reliance.
This flip flop in major political positions cost Mitt Romney the recent presidential election and, I hope, it will also predict Crist's political future on the sidelines.

Half a ton of world-class Swinery bacon — cheap!
Now, by way of Chris Bailey on the mailing list and in the comments to our most recent mention of Culinary Communion, some delicious, delicious news:
Bacon Fundraiser at Culinary Communion!
Calling all friends of Culinary Communion, bacon lovers and foodies alike, we need your help! We need to move 1,000 pounds (yes, you read it right, 1,000 pounds) of bacon. It's a long a story . . . but, in order to secure permitting and to start selling at farmer's markets in 2009, the city needs to do one final inspection of our new space and 1,000 pounds of our house-cured, incredibly delicious bacon is standing in the way!
So, we need you, your friends, family and co-workers to buy our bacon! Selling for only $10/lb., our famous bacon is made from 100% organically-raised Berkshire heirloom pork and cured on-site at the CC house. It has been gaining considerable acclaim all around the city and you will see why when you taste it! Plus, what better time to have a couple pounds of homemade bacon on-hand. Think: Thanksgiving stuffing, weekend brunch, hostess gift or freeze a bunch to use throughout the year. This is an opportunity not to be missed (and a great way to support a local business during these crazy financial times)!
Swing by Culinary Communion any time to get your bacon on (even until noon on Thanksgiving Day). Not sure you have time to make the trek to Beacon Hill? Give us a call and we'll do our best to bring the bacon to you! And, one more thing, consider starting a "Community Bacon Drive" at your office.

Background--Self-evidently empirical analyses rely upon the quality of their data. Likewise, replications rely upon accurate reporting and using the same rather than similar versions of datasets. In recent years, there has been much interest in using machine learners to classify software modules into defect-prone and not defect-prone categories. The publicly available NASA datasets have been extensively used as part of this research. Objective--This short note investigates the extent to which published analyses based on the NASA defect datasets are meaningful and comparable. Method--We analyze the five studies published in the IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering since 2007 that have utilized these datasets and compare the two versions of the datasets currently in use. Results--We find important differences between the two versions of the datasets, implausible values in one dataset and generally insufficient detail documented on dataset preprocessing. Conclusions--It is recommended that researchers 1) indicate the provenance of the datasets they use, 2) report any preprocessing in sufficient detail to enable meaningful replication, and 3) invest effort in understanding the data prior to applying machine learners.

Fitness Friday: Does your golf glove look like this?
By Ron Kaspriske
If you keep wearing out the leather in the heel pad of your golf glove, you're a prime candidate for wrist, elbow and shoulder injuries, says physical therapist Ralph Simpson, a Golf Digest fitness advisor. "What happens is that the golfer holds the club deep in the palm of the hand, and it rubs against the heel pad, eventually causing it to tear," Simpson says. Holding the club deep in the palm instead of in the fingers (top photo, right) restricts the wrists' ability to hinge and unhinge during the swing.
The hands and arms are put under more stress, which can lead to issues like tendon and ligament tears or inflammation. Less common, but still a possibility, are ailments such as fractures of the wrist bones. "Check your grip often," Simpson says. "It's really easy to let it slip down into the palm."
Stronger forearm muscles (flexors and brachioradialis), upper arm muscles (biceps) and shoulder muscles (deltoids) also will help protect your hands and arms from injuries when you swing a club. To see an exercise that hits all three of these groups, click on the video below.

Fitness Friday: Your clubhead speed (fantasy vs. reality)
A time-honored tradition in golf is to make driving-distance claims well beyond your capability. Sure, there was that time last June that you hit a sprinkler head on a downwind, downhill hole and your ball ended up inside the 100-yard marker on that 350-yard par 4. But let's be honest, most golfers aren't carrying the ball 250 yards off the tee. Most aren't carrying it 200. And it has little to do with your current fitness level, says Justin Padjen of TrackMan Golf (@trackmangolf).
Rather than look at a person's physique, athleticism or strength, a more accurate determiner of how far you hit the ball is your Handicap Index, he says. And he's got proof. Padjen's company has the data on driver swings of more than 15,000 golfers of all skill levels (including close to 300 PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players). What they found is a direct correlation between swing speed and handicap (see the chart below). The average Handicap Index for a man is currently 14.6, according to the Golf Handicap and Information Network (ghin.com). Padjen says data strongly suggests those golfers typically swing the driver at 93.4 mph, carry the ball 192 yards, and drive it 214 yards including roll. Sobering news, right?
If you're not familiar with TrackMan, the company developed a type of radar system that can tell you exactly how fast you're swinging and how far you're hitting the ball. It does a lot more than that, but for the purposes of this article, swing speed and distance were of primary interest.
"The data shows that there are very strong correlations between club speed and skill level," Padjen says.
And when you think about it, that makes sense. The better you get at golf, the better you understand what it takes to deliver the clubhead into the ball at higher speeds. So when it comes to training in the gym to hit the ball farther, learning how to swing the club faster only matters if you have a good understanding of how to make a consistently effective swing at that speed.
Most amateurs would be better served in the gym learning how to improve muscular coordination versus trying to train to swing faster. This past summer, I talked to one of the best drivers on the PGA Tour--Hunter Mahan--about what holds amateurs back. He has played with his fair share of regular golfers in pro-ams all over the world. Mahan, who is among the best on tour in combining distance and accuracy off the tee (a stat known as total driving), says he sees uncoordinated swings that make it difficult to hit the ball in the center of the clubface.
"Solid contact beats a fast swing almost every time," he says. "The closer amateurs can get to hitting it in the sweet spot, the more distance they will get."
So how do you improve muscular coordination to learn how to hit the ball farther. There are a lot of ways, but one simple exercise is to simulate a golf swing while throwing a medicine ball. Here you will see PGA Tour fitness trainer Jeff Fronk (@fitnessbyfronk) and tour pro Bud Cauley (@budcauley) demonstrate it (click on the video below).

Fitness Friday: Adjusting your ticker
By Ron Kaspriske
To maintain good heart health, the American Academy of Sports Medicine recommends exercising three times a week, for a minimum of 30 minutes, at a heart rate 60 percent of your maximum.
The good news for golfers is that walking when you play would meet this requirement. Back in 2006, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center put golf to the test and found that walking (either carrying or with a caddie) elevated participants' heart rates above that 60-percent threshold. For most men, the range is 100-120 beats per minute.
Related article: What's Your Golf Mileage?
There is more than one formula for determining maximum heart rate. The one Golf Digest Fitness Advisor Ben Shear (@Ben_Shear) recommends is the Karvonen Method. Fitness consultant Brian Calkins has the Karvonen calculator on his website here: http://www.briancalkins.com/HeartRate.htm
But before you get too fixated on working out in a specific heart-rate zone, my advice is don't worry about it. While it's good to routinely check your resting heart rate (a good target zone is 50-80 beats per minute), trying to exercise in a specific heart-rate "zone," might limit your capabilities.
If you have been cleared by your physician for intense activity, it's OK to push yourself well beyond the 60-percent threshold. My general experience has been that middle-aged men and women should work in a range of 130-160 beats per minute. Don't worry, your body will tell you when you're overdoing it. The minute your form starts to deteriorate, and you can't do the exercise competently, it's time for a break.

Fitness Friday: Good vibrations
By Ron Kaspriske
It's funny how the more you learn about human physiology, the less you really understand the body and what it needs to remain as healthy as possible. Case in point: You might have been told that high-impact exercises are bad for you because of the stress they put on your joints. While there is some merit to that, recent studies suggest your bones need daily doses of impact to remain strong. There also is anecdotal evidence to suggest these impacts aid in recovery of various health problems including osteoporosis.
My research on this topic appears in Golf Digest's March issue (see link below). I should also add that since reporting this topic, I've learned that Suzann Pettersen, the No. 2 ranked female golfer in the world, has been using a bone-vibration device called Juvent that has helped speed her recovery from chronic foot and knee pain. Interesting stuff.

The best golf-fitness items from the PGA Merchandise Show
ORLANDO -- Amid the hundreds of booths at the PGA Merchandise Show, selling everything you can think of to golfers, are legitimate fitness items that could help your game.
We walked the floor at the Orange County Convention Center this week to find the three best golf-fitness items at the show this year for our weekly Fitness Friday feature. Here they are:
1. Perform Better's VibraRoll: You've likely seen a foam roller
before, but the VibraRoll (above) comes with a vibrating capability designed to
improve blood circulation, range of motion and flexibility. The vibrations aim to break up trigger points in target areas to help
soft-tissue release and recovery. At 18 inches long and six inches
around, the VibraRoll ($84.95) is easily portable on the road. Perform
Better has a number of new, lightweight products designed for the
traveling golfer.
Some other Perform Better products worth looking at: The Activ8r (left)--a
small, contoured product that you can freeze for a cold-compress
treatment. It's designed to help release stiffness in hard to reach
places and increase range of motion. And the Tiger Tail--a rolling
self-massage bar that helps sore muscles recover quicker. For more:
2. Serola Biomechanical Belt: For 24 years, physical therapists,
sports-medicine trainers and chiropractors have been using the Serola
Sacroiliac Belt in their treatments. This is the first year Serola
Biomechanics is making a push in golf. The belt is built to help
alleviate back pain by providing relief to the sacroiliac joint, located
in the lower back below your hip bone but above where your leg starts.
If you have lower-back pain, your SI joint might be the cause. This belt helps stabilize the joint and the muscles surrounding it, allowing better circulation and normal functionality of the muscles. I wore
one of the belts all day on Wednesday at the Show. As someone with
nagging back pain, it helped provide some relief to the lower back. You
attach it below your belt underneath your clothes so it's not visible.
For more: serola.net.
3. ActivMotion Bar: With movable weights inside a fitness bar, ActivMotion (left) is unlike other fitness items at the PGA Show. Invented by a recent exercise-science graduate from Central Michigan, Derek Mikulski, the bar comes in weights ranging from six to 18 pounds, starting at $120. Mikulski discovered that an internal, unstable load of movable weights do more to work an athlete's core while doing exercises with the ActivMotion Bar. He says your core muscles are forced to activate to control the momentum of the weights. Mikulski and his partner, Dave Davis, a TPI-certified golf coach from Michigan, have developed a five-minute workout designed to be an easy, pre-round warmup. A great way to prep the muscles essential to the golf swing so you're ready for the first tee. For more: ActivMotionBar.com.
Fitness Friday: Activate your ankles
As golf-shoe designs have improved in recent years--now providing more stability for your stance and swing--the importance of having good ankle mobility has almost gone away. That might sound like a good thing, but a lack of ankle mobility can lead to leg injuries, especially in the knees and feet. "A shoe with good heel height and support would help golfers with poor ankle mobility--like a lack of dorsiflexion--stay in their posture and make a better swing," says Golf Digest fitness advisor Ben Shear. "But it's putting more stress on the tendons and ligaments of the feet and knees because the ankle isn't absorbing its share of the load."

Fitness Friday: Preparing for a cold-weather round
By Ron Kaspriske
For those of us not lucky enough to live in San Diego, Miami, or Tahiti, playing golf in January requires a little extra preparation (and a really warm coat). Just like a car that needs to warm up in order to run well on a 10-degree day, your body requires a little extra love if you want to swing the club anywhere near as well as you do in mid July--and also avoid getting hurt. With that in mind, here's a little checklist of things to consider before you try to force a tee into the frozen ground and play a little winter golf:

Fitness Friday: Resolutions you can actually keep
The problem with most New Year's Resolutions is that they're either too daunting or too ambiguous. Setting very specific and realistic goals, especially when it comes to health and fitness, is the best way of sticking with your resolutions.
Below are some suggestions if you're struggling to come up with good ones on your own. I know these are doable, because over the years I've done them myself. Best wishes to you and yours in 2014.
1. Stop drinking soda and fruit juice. I'm starting off with a big one, but I drank my last soda in 2005. You can do it. If you like the carbonation, go with sparkling water with fruit flavors. And if you're wondering why fruit juice is included, it's because the sugar content of things such as orange juice and apple juice is as high as soda. If you can drop soda and juice from your diet, you'll boost you overall health a great deal.
2. Drink water all day long. Not only does water help regulate your pH balance and organ functions, it keeps your muscles contracting properly and also satiates your appetite. You'll feel better and eat less. Drink 60-120 ounces a day. Start with a glass as soon as you get up and put one on the nightstand when you go to bed. It should be the first and last thing you drink each day.
3. Eat whole foods as often as you can. I like the 80-20 rule, meaning eat healthy 80 percent of the time. Things such as eggs, nuts, fruits, vegetables, fish, etc. That means cutting way back on bread, chips, so-called nutrition bars, cheese, bagels, etc. If it was manufactured, don't eat it.
4. Commit to 20 minutes of exercise every other day. As much as I love walking, I recommend you do something a bit more strenuous. Go for a swim, use a rowing machine, ride a bike, lift weights, sweep your sidewalks. You get the idea.
5. Say goodbye to your last gym machine. Not only do most gym machines isolate muscles -- instead of recruiting others to perform simple exercises -- they also provide a false sense of stability. And without proper stability, you'll never be able to utilize the strength gains you've made on machines. For every exercise you can do on a machine, there's a better one you can do freestyle.
6. Focus on your strike zone. In baseball, the zone usually is from your chest to your knees. The muscles in this region are the really important ones. And don't forget to train the posterior muscles (backside) just as much as you do the ones on your front side.
7. Shallow your swing. Most amateurs swing the club too steeply. They make a chopping motion down into the ball. While it's true that you want to hit a ball resting on the turf with a descending blow, the angle of approach does not need to be severe. Think of a plane landing on a runway. It descends gradually and uses a lot of the runway to stop. If you can shallow your approach into the ball, you'll save your wrists, elbows and shoulder joints a lot of unnecessary stress.
8. Walk whenever you can. I like to carry my golf bag, too, but push/pullcarts are fine. Unless you're physically disabled, there's no reason to ride in a golf cart. And if a course tells you that they have a "no-walking" policy, ask the director of golf for special permission. If he or she says no, then say you have a policy of playing golf courses that allow walking and politely leave.
9. Strengthen your shoulder girdle. Your scapula, rotator cuffs, etc. These muscles provide the brakes to your golf swing. The stronger they are, the less chance you'll have of hurting yourself by over-swinging.
10. Sit up straight. Sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how often we slouch. When you do sit up straight, squeeze your glute muscles a few times, too. This helps activate the muscles that keep you propped up. And if you sit all day long, do hip-extension exercises a few times a week.

American Wants Women
The airline notes that 50 million women fly American annually, and that number accounts for a little less than half of their total passengers. The company introduced the site with the hopes of boosting their sales to women by 2%. (That translates to a cool $94 million for those playing at home.)
I tried out the site, and it's pretty weak. The content consists mostly of short bullet points that don't provide any useful information. For example, a page targeted to business women advises them to check-in online, use personalized luggage tags, and sign up for frequent flier miles. I'd think anyone who travels often already knows how to do all of those things. Come on, American. I know you only want a 2% spike, but put some heart into it.

Johannesburg - Almost 2 000 fired mineworkers were gathering around two Anglo Platinum [JSE:AMS] (Amplats) mines in Rustenburg on Wednesday morning as a reinstatement proposal stalled.
"There is no singing, no protesting. They are not unruly," said Warrant Officer Sam Tselanyane.
About 1 500 people were gathering at Zakhele, a residential area near Amplats' Khusaleka mine, where a sub-station was set alight on Tuesday, and 300 more were gethering at the Komanani shaft.
Speaking by phone, Gaddafi Mdoda, who is part of a committee representing striking workers disgruntled with their unions, said marches were not planned for Tuesday and that he had not been informed of a meeting with the company's management for talks to resolve the situation.
Amplats did not respond to requests for comments for most of Tuesday, then said it would issue a statement on Wednesday. On Wednesday morning, it said by e-mail a statement would come later.
On Tuesday, 13 protesters were arrested and an attempted murder charge was laid against a mine security guard after a protester was shot in a day of clashes between protesters and security forces.
The wounded man was taken to hospital. A policeman was also treated after a stone hit him in the face, said Tselanyane.
A court date for the 13 arrested was not yet known and the guard had not been arrested or taken in for questioning by early on Wednesday morning.
On Saturday, Amplats said it had held discussions with recognised unions the National Union of Mineworkers, Uasa, Solidarity and the National Union of Metalworkers of SA, and representatives of the strike committee on an offer to reinstate 12 000 fired workers.
In a statement, it said the offer to return to work by Tuesday October 30 had been "accepted by all the worker representatives, the recognised unions and the Workers' Committee and they have committed to communicate the offer to their members today (October 27)".
Mdoda said this was not what had happened.
There had been a meeting where the proposal was made by the company and representatives had left to discuss it with the workers.
"Before we reached Rustenburg town, people were angry about why we have done this thing without consulting them, because the radio was saying this and this," said Mdoda.
"It seems like they were saying we, as the committee, had agreed with unions and management without their consent. It looks like a betrayal, though we did not agree on anything."
Workers wanted to have a choice and to be able to debate and decide on what was on the table, he said.
Mdoda said that even he, as an Amplats employee, might have wanted to accept the reinstatement proposal made to those fired, but that the situation had now become difficult.

I found this recipe at "Style at Home". I adapted the recipe by using a Four-Cheese blend that I had in the refrigerator (Asiago, Romano and two others). You can use practically any cheese you wish, including white cheddar. These were so tender and crumbly when done, so I wouldn't really call them dense crackers. Still they were delicious, especially with the Butternut Squash & Apple Soup that I posted today.
½ | cup unsalted butter, softened |
1-¼ | cups aged white cheddar cheese, grated |
¾ | cup all-purpose flour |
2 | tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped |
½ | tsp dry mustard |
pinch cayenne pepper (optional) | |
¼ | tsp salt |
½ | tsp cracked black pepper |
1 In a bowl, beat butter until smooth. In a separate bowl, toss together cheese, flour, rosemary, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a log about 9 inches long, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours*. *NOTE: I froze these for about an hour and sliced them very easily. 2 Preheat oven to 325F. Slice the log into 1/4-inch rounds and place rounds 2 inches apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack of oven until cookies are lightly golden around the edges, about 20 to 22 minutes. Cool completely.

How do I expand the view of all day events in iCal?
Did you ever get an answer on this? I can see everything in the DAY view but need to see the all day events in the week view. I have events that start on say the 15th and run to the 21st. I've started putting the end date in the location field but it was so much nicer when the all day even portion expanded to allow you to see all of them without having to scroll. Having to use the DAY view makes it really hard to schedule. Any chance this will change in the new version?

Higher power rates loom in early '13
PSALM may start collecting P140B in stranded debts
By Amy R. RemoPhilippine Daily Inquirer
The state-run Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. expects to start collecting the P140 billion worth of universal charges for stranded debts and contract costs from all grid-connected power consumers early next year.
This followed reports that the Energy Regulatory Commission might release by January 2013 the much-awaited decision regarding PSALM's application to collect the universal charge (UC), according to PSALM president Emmanuel Ledesma Jr.
Should PSALM's application be approved, consumers can expect to pay another 36 centavos a kilowatt-hour over the next four years and a separate 3 centavos a kWh over a 15-year period to help pay the debt of another cash-strapped government firm, National Power Corp. (Napocor).
The 36 centavos a kWh that PSALM wanted to pass on to consumers would cover the payment of "stranded contract costs," while the 3 centavos a kWh would be used to settle "stranded debts." With the 39 centavos a kWh from the universal charge, PSALM will be able to collect about 25 billion a year to help settle its outstanding obligations.
PSALM, however, is hoping to collect the universal charge for stranded contract costs (UC-SCC) for a longer period of 15 years, instead of the current four years set by the ERC, to ease the burden on consumers.
Should the ERC allow PSALM to recover the universal charge for 15 years, the additional increase would be equivalent to 6 centavos a kWh. This means that the total universal charges for both stranded contract costs and stranded debts will amount to 9 centavos a kWh over the next 15 years. At 9 centavos a kWh, PSALM will be able to collect an additional P5 billion from consumers annually.
According to Ledesma, PSALM also wanted to extend its corporate life by another 10 years as this would further reduce the universal charge burden to about 6.5 centavos to 7 centavos a kWh over a longer period.
"Extending the corporate life of PSALM is not necessary but it would be nice because we're trying to mitigate the impact to the consumers—it will be for the benefit of the consumer," Ledesma stressed.
PSALM has been seeking to extend its corporate life to 2036, intended only to mitigate the impact of the collection of the P140 billion in universal charges on all power consumers.
