Bill Polian said that he and Tony Dungy had an understanding that he could get his team up to play with just a little bit more intensity just a few times per year. It makes sense. Football players are human and their effort is likely to be somewhat consistent to their abilities most of the time with a little bit of fluctuation up or down. To think that you can get a team up to play at maximum level every single Sunday is unrealistic. Will Rob Chudzinski be able to do that this weekend with his team? Is there any way to make a modern NFL player feel a rivalry the same way fans have been raised to respect it? I'm not so sure.
Of course it helps that the Steelers are a divisional opponent. Competing in the division is important to any NFL player simply because it is the easiest gateway to the NFL playoffs. If you can't handle your business against the guys who are all scheduled twice per season, year-in and year-out, how are you ever going to make meaningful strides toward winning a Super Bowl? Even then though, does that put the Steelers on any different level for players on the Cleveland Browns roster than when they play Baltimore or Cincinnati? [Read more...]

If you know me, you know my daddy, Earl Hiers, because this apple didn't fall too far from the tree. This month, he'll have been gone 45 years, but he's with me everyday, showing up every time somethin' tickles my funny bone—which happens a lot. He taught me that you can't take yourself too seriously. No one likes a stick in the mud. Daddy couldn't even bring himself to discipline Bubba and me. He left that to Momma. Lord knows we needed it, but he just couldn't bring himself to get angry enough to do much about it. It wasn't his style. When he came home from work, he'd get Bubba and me all riled up. We'd laugh until our sides ached, or until Momma fussed at him and made us settle down for dinner. Daddy never laid a hand on me. Not once. He didn't have to because I had so much respect for him. If I ever thought I disappointed my daddy, I'd have to go straight to bed. It would've crushed me.
Sure, Daddy worked hard and life dealt him some bad cards. He lost his leg at 16 and like most men at the time, spent his better years working long days. But he smiled and laughed through every blessing and hardship as if they were one and the same. That was his gift to me.
Memories of my daddy sneak up on me at funny times. Not too long ago, my friend and Culinary Producer, Libbie Summers, gave me the best idea. She had planted some flowers in an old ski boot and placed it on her porch. It was the sweetest, most unexpected thing. It reminded her of precious times she shared with her friends and family on ski trips to Colorado. I decided to do the same. I took a rubber boot, filled it with soil and transplanted my herbs from their pots. While I was working, I got to thinking about my Daddy and how he'd leave his shoes by the door so as not to upset Momma by tracking mud into the house. Like every kid, I'd slip my tiny foot into his shoe, certain I'd never be big enough to fill it. Thinking back on those moments, I now smile to myself, knowin' that I've come pretty darn close.
Daddy gave me another important gift, and it's one I don't plan on squandering. He was only 40 years old when he passed, younger than both my boys. But his untimely death just a couple days before Father's Day taught me that life is too short to waste it frettin' about the things we can't control. We need to take time out to enjoy the people and places around us. To tend our gardens. To find joy in the little things. To laugh. And in the end—whenever it comes—we, too, will leave behind some big shoes to fill.Read More From Holidays and Entertaining.

Had you said your daddy had been dead 38 years I would have thought we had the same dad. Mine never spanked me either and I was so scared I would dissapoint or hurt him. I miss him so badly and literally think of him daily, and now 38 years later my precious mother has gone to join him in their eternal home and she is on my mind daily .
By Linda on January 25, 2012
I have been taking care of my 4 year old niece for awhile now, and on fathers day I helped he make a card for her father, my brother. Our father passed away 8 years ago, he was 62, and we miss him dearly. Gabby my niece never met our father, so I was telling her all about him, and she already knew so much from hearing us talk about him. Just a lesson, when we don't think they are paying attention, they may be. Share your memories with your kids, nieces, nephews, any that will listen!!!

Good Morning Paula, This was my first Father's Day without my Dad. He passed away in October at the age of 87! Like all little girls, my dad was the best! He never said an unkind word about people, because he always saw the best in people no matter what. We carried on the long tradition of having Father's Day at our home and even though Daddy wasn't here, he was with us in spirit! I hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day. Congrats on the new little Deen and God Bless you all!!

Where to start....just read the note on your Daddy and it sounds too good to be true....my Daddy was just the same as how you described your Dad. He too just passed June 1st, 2011 alittle before Father's Day which is today. It was a tough day but cherish the memories that he left me and they are so many. You have been one of my all time favorites and feel like I have so much in common with you, some of my friends call me the other Paula. Now with my Daddy being so close to what yours sounds like it is amazing. I admire what you have accomplished in your years and just love to watch you with your boys in the kitchen.

By Marilyn Jahn on June 19, 2011
Oh, Paula what a touching story about your Dad. My Daddy died August 17. 1958 and I had just turned 3 July 20th,. My older brother was 7 at the time. My Daddy was only 38 years old. He died of Cancer and and during those days children could not go into hospitals to visit the sick. But, I remember two times I saw him Once was at a local hospital they rolled him out onto the ramp at the Emergency Room then the last time I saw him was in Winston-Salem NC at the Baptist Hospital. I stayed in the car with my Uncle David and Aunt Ruth while Mama went up to is room. Then I saw him come to the window wave at me, it would be the last time I would see him alive. I don't have memories of his Funeral just the stories family memvbers have told me. One thing I was told was that I would not leave his Grave side till I sung "Jesus Loves Me". He had to have been the one to teach me that. My mother had to be both Dad and Mama to us and for 53 years and she did so. We Just Lost our Mama May 13th, 2011 to Dementia. Almost 5 years in a Nursing Care Facility. We alternated taking turns to be with her, we washed , Ironed her clothes as she did ours all those years. I married a wonderful man who helped me with Mama but, I have two step-children who came from Divorce and don't except me I don't think. I try to tell them that "even tho Divorce is bad there is a silver lining they still have both parents who Love them. Love Ya'll Denise Cline

Hi: Paula, I Love your all your shows Paula but, I have a question and I know you can tell me what to do. I live here in the South as well and when I make my Meringue for my pies, toast the tops bring them out they are beautiful, but, then they start pulling away from the edges and drip a clear sticky substance which I presume is the Meringue itself. What can I do for a beautiful Meringue that will not do this? Please Help Denise Statesville NC

Man assaulted with wine glass in Frogmoor
2:00pm Friday 3rd January 2014 in News By Neil Phillips
A MAN had wine poured over him and was struck in the face with a glass by a woman, leaving his face cut, outside a bar in High Wycombe.
Police say the assault happened at the main entrance of Butler's bar in Frogmoor at about 1.50am on December 28.
The victim, a man in his early forties, was smoking outside the bar when a woman asked him for a cigarette. When the victim refused, the woman returned to the bar and came out moments later with a glass of wine in her left hand.
Officers say the woman then poured the wine over the victim, before striking him in the face with the glass.
She then fled the scene on foot towards the town centre.
The suspect is described as white, of slim build, in her early twenties, about 5ft 8ins tall, with shoulder length dark straight hair. She was wearing a short black dress with black tights and black shoes.
The victim suffered a cut under his right eye and was treated at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.

Following a win over the Texas Rangers, the Baltimore Orioles went home to Camden Yards, where they will host the New York Yankees for Games 1 and 2 of the ALDS.
The AL East rivals split their 18-game regular season series, though the Orioles won six out of ten meetings in the second half.
Game 1 (Sunday, Oct. 7) will start at 6:15 p.m. ET. The Yankees will send CC Sabathia to the hill. In his last two seasons, Sabathia has struggled in the playoffs. For his career, the lefty owns a 4.81 playoff ERA. This year, Sabathia did not fare well against the Orioles, with an 0-2 record and 6.38 ERA in three starts.
For the Orioles, manager Buck Showalter is expected to announce a starter on Saturday evening. He will likely pick between Jason Hammel, Wei-Yin Chen and Miguel Gonzalez. Of the three, only Hammel has any postseason experience.
Few could have predicted that the Orioles would be in the playoffs this season. Prior to this year, they had finished in last place in the AL East in every season since 2008. But under first-year manager Buck Showalter, the club has turned its fortunes around, and will now look to knock off the Yankees.
The full series schedule looks like this:
Game 1 - Sunday, Oct. 7 at Baltimore, 6:15 p.m. ET
Game 2 - Monday, Oct. 8 at Baltimore, 8:07 p.m. ET
Game 3 - Wednesday, Oct. 10 at New York
Game 4 (if necessary) - Thursday, Oct. 11 at New York
Game 5 (if necessary) - Friday, Oct. 12 at New York

Juve coach facing 15-month ban in fixing scandal
ROME, Italy (AP) — Juventus coach Antonio Conte is facing a 15-month ban after being denied a plea bargain for his involvement in an Italian match-fixing scandal.
Conte's offer of a three-month ban was rejected by an Italian football federation (FIGC) tribunal on Wednesday, and he was told yesterday that the court will not accept any plea bargain.
Conte, who led Juventus to the Serie A title last season, is accused of failing to report match-fixing in two games during the 2010-11 season when he was coach of then-Serie B team Siena.
Prosecutor Stefano Palazzi is asking for a 15-month ban for the Juve coach.
"I see that the FIGC and its justice system continue to operate outside of any logic," Juventus president Andrea Agnelli said in a statement immediately afterwards. "The various sentences show enormous contradictions... this can't be accepted."
The FIGC reacted angrily to the remarks, saying "Andrea Agnelli's comments are unacceptable and go beyond legitimate right to criticism."
It added that "the FIGC and its bodies work with fairness and in full respect of the statutory rules which guarantee the Sporting Justice independence and autonomy."
In contrast to Conte's possible suspension, Siena goalkeeping coach Marco Savaroni and fitness coach Giorgio D'Urbano will serve 23-week bans.
At club level, promoted Torino will start their first season back in Serie A with a one-point penalty, while Varese were deducted one point in Serie B. Siena will start the upcoming Serie A season with a six-point penalty after their second plea bargain was accepted on Wednesday.

Sort By :
I made it for Mothers Day and everyone loved it. Several people asked for the recipe!
So good! Added slightly less olive oil but otherwise followed recipe. Even better on day 2 and 3.
I made it without the pine nuts and feta cheese, it was very tasty and delicious. Will make it again, it's a great option for a healthy side dish.
Have made it several times with no changes. Healthy and tasty, as described.
I tried another recipe before finding this one. The changes I made to the other recipe make it much like this one.
Rather than cook the bulgur I just brought the broth to a boil, added the grain and let it set for an hour.
To the broth I added a tsp. of fresh rosemary, minced and the zest of two lemons.
I didn't have a cucumber or green onions. To add bulk I added a can of artichoke hearts (not in oil).
I also did not add any cheese.
I am looking forward to making this again with the addition of nuts.
All in all a tasty dish.

SEATTLE (AP) -- The Coast Guard has expanded the area it's searching for four people who disappeared from a fishing trawler off the Washington coast, but there's still no sign of them.
A distress signal came from the 70-foot Lady Cecelia early Saturday, and rescue crews searched through the night after finding debris, an empty lifeboat and an oil sheen several miles off the coast.
Petty Officer Shawn Eggert says that by Sunday morning the search area had expanded from 640 square miles to 1,350. A Coast Guard cutter and an MH-60 helicopter crew were involved and conditions for searching were good.
The fishing vessel has a home port in Warrenton, Ore. and is registered to Dale Kent of Bay City, Ore.

So after 3 years of a Sesame allergy and numerous scratch tests, we had hope that our oldest son would grow out of his sesame allergy. What makes sesame difficult is that the FDA does not recognize it as a top allergen and therefore most restaurants and some food manufacturers don't label or document it in ingredients. It is also very hard to find bread that is made in a bakery without sesame.
Our allergist, after a recent scratch test, decided to run the blood work to examine sesame further in my son since the results of the scratch test were inconclusive. The blood work supported this uncertainty. The only way to remove doubt about his allergy was a food challenge.
This past Friday, up at the crack of dawn, we went to the hospital with our allergist to test sesame. The good news was that we didn't have to stay right through the full process because we never got started. For the food challenge w e brought with us Tahini paste that is pure sesame seeds crushed up.
We were very nervous and didn't know what to expect. Our allergist was very confident with the process and as an initial step, she took a sample of the paste and ran a scratch test. To everyone's surprise, the skin reaction to the scratch test was HUGE. We had never seen HIVES jump from the original circle. See the Image included. At this point we stopped the process and never made it to the food challenge.
What can we conclude from this experience…
1. The scratch test with the real food before the challenge was a wise decision on the part of our allergist.
2. The difference in scratch results when we looked at the allergen in its purest form, as compared to the Scratch tests done with fabricated or diluted samples makes me wonder why there is so much unknown about reactions. Was it the purity of the allergen? Was it my son's immune system changes? No one knows…ask your allergist and let us know their thoughts!
Based on our experience,we will ask our allergist if bringing the purest form of the allergen when we are scratch testing is better than relying on the diluted samples they have had sitting in their offices for months?
We continue to seek out answers to our allergies and it seems that the more we learn, the more questions and uncertainty is presented to us. Thankfully our allergist has the right process and did not expose our son to sesame in a food challenge.
Hope we can all learn from these experiences…please share your allergist experiences too!

from Eyewitness News Online
Conman, Thief & Gambler
Sal learned the definition the of a ponzi scheme the hard way. His family lost half a million dollars in a $400 million dollar ponzi scheme run by Nicolas Cosmos.
Sal wasn't alone. Six thousand people invested in Agape World, the company Cosmos claimed made money from short-term lending to businesses. U.S. Postal Inspectors say he promised to pay investors anywhere from ten to 15% interest on these loans that were typically 60 days. At that rate, investors could make 60 to 80% on their money. That might sound good - but it wasn't a reality.
(richard cinnamo, us postal inspector)
Postal Inspector Richard Cinnamo says, "We did undercover work, posing as an investor a prospective borrower to see if this project was feasible. I quickly learned it was not."
Initial investors got interest checks but were asked to roll over their money. Typical for a ponzi scheme. Cosmos also had a habit that put him in a financial hole. Investigators say Cosmos' vice was gambling. They say he also used over $80 million dollars to trade on the futures markets
Postal inspectors say when someone tells you anything that pays handsomely is risk-free, you need to run the other way. It's a scam.
Nicholas Cosmo pleaded guilty and received 25 years in prison. He was also ordered to pay $179 million dollars in restitution.

Hi everybody,
I have this question.
I'm using JBuilder 8 under WindowsXP(sp1) to develop J2ME app for the Nokia3650. I'm using the Nokia SKD Concept SDK. Compiling goes fine, but running the stuff on the Emulator shows some weird problems.
1. First it complained that the Emulator can only run on JDK version 1.3 (note: not even 1.3.1 or any other value). It looks in the registry for the current Java Version. If this registry value is any different that "1.3" it will not start up.
First i used the setup of my JBuilder Project to have the emulator run under a JDK1.3 version (JBuilder allows to specify a JDK runtime for the MicroRuns.. nice). This did not help.
Then I started editing the Windows' Registry! Add added a new JDK version "1.3", copied the sub-keys from version "1.3.1" to the new "1.3" and manually assign the CurrentVersion to "1.3" (can not use the JavaPlugin from Sun, since it only recognized the officially installed ones: in my case 1.3.1 and 1.4.1_02).
This fooled Nokia's Emulator and it ran and i could even debug. But then, I'm never able to end the debug session. Even killing process through the TaskManager and/or pskill did not work. Only closing JBuilder entirely does the trick (not without complaining though).
Is there an easier 'fix'/way to use the Emulator for debugging/running?

Citi Stock's Wild Ride Explained in Arb Trade
Updated from Thursday, March 5
Citigroup (C) shares finally broke the buck on Thursday, but the fallen giant's rollercoaster ride toward penny stock-dom may have more to do with a popular trade for hedge funds than the company's fundamentals.
Citi and the Treasury Department last month revamped a federal bailout plan, in which the bank would exchange common shares for trust and preferred securities held by both the government and private investors.
The complicated deal drastically changed the ownership structure of the firm, and offered Uncle Sam a 36% stake in Citi. Although most of the news was widely anticipated, Citi shares plunged over 40% in trading that day, and closed down 96 cents at $1.50.A big portion of the movement is coming not from a drastic change in the market's thesis on Citigroup -- there's little doubt the firm may not have survived without government aid -- but from hedge funds and institutional investors taking long positions in preferred shares or senior debt, while shorting common equity to capture massive differentials in pricing. "It's a high-risk trade, but when Citi converts those preferred [shares], people will have to unwind a massive short position in Citi common," says one hedge fund manager, who is playing the other side of the bet -- going long Citi in the hope that short covering will drive the stock's price up. Citi shares faced record volatility last month, according to Bloomberg data. But to the average investor, some of the dips and peaks made little sense.

Hi All,
I want to set focus to a contro programatically based on some
data validation. For example inside 'OkToExitL()' I want to validate the data enterted on a form and set focus to a control that has invalid data. I have tried something like this :
CEikEdwin* myEdwin = STATIC_CAST(CEikEdwin*,ControlOrNull
What I observed is that the 'caret' is moving to my edit control but the focus indicator - black rectagle is not drawn and keyboard input is going to another control which had focus earlier.
Are there any additional APIs to call?

Future course of action soon, says company; shares plummet 8.7%
Maruti Suzuki's Manesar plant, where workers clashed with the company management on Wednesday evening, has been shut. Indications are that the facility will be closed indefinitely, according to company sources.
The Gurgaon police today arrested 88 workers of the Manesar facility following Wednesday's violence in which a senior company official was killed and about 100 injured.
The initial dispute is believed to have been over differences in the ongoing wage negotiations. Both Gurgaon Police and the company confirmed that the charred body was that of Mr Awanish Kumar Dev, General Manager (HR), at Maruti. He had been reported as missing after the clash and his remains were identified by his brother-in-law.
The main gate of the plant (Gate 2) and the first floor of the site office building, which houses departments such as the HR, supply chain and a conference room, were destroyed in a fire reportedly created by the workers. A large number of the 3,000 workers at the plant were involved in the clashes, in which nine policemen were also injured. Mr Maheshwar Dayal, DCP, Gurgaon (East and South), said that the union leaders are yet to be found, but a special investigation team has also been formed under the ACP, Mr Ravinder Tomar. Around 1,200 policemen were additionally deployed at the facility on Thursday.
"This is a very serious act of criminality and we will take stern action; nothing can justify this. Teams have been sent out to different areas to round up the culprits," added Mr Ranjit Dalal, Director-General of Police, Haryana.
According to a victim (a senior company official) admitted in a Gurgaon hospital, "There was a horde of workers which came up the stairs between 6.30 and 7 p.m. yesterday and started attacking us in our office with rods, car components and tube lights … they hit the women too. We shielded ourselves with tables, while some of us jumped to the first floor. They then set the place on fire."
A company statement said, "By any account, this is not an industrial relations problem in the nature of management-worker differences over issues of wages or working conditions. Rather, it is an orchestrated act of mob violence at a time when operations had been normal over the past many months. Such acts of violence - pre planned, unprovoked and gruesome - have implications beyond one company or region."
The statement said "we will shortly announce our decision on the next steps with regard to resuming operations in these facilities."
However, Mr Ram Meher, President, Maruti Suzuki Workers Union, said that the dispute had started when a member of the management had initially passed casteist remarks on a worker and had later suspended the same worker when he objected. MSWU, union of Manesar plant workers, was formed recently after the labour trouble at the plant in 2011.
Maruti Suzuki shares fell 8.74 per cent to Rs 1,117.35 on Thursday.

By Keith Wassung
The bench press is the single most popular exercise in the history of weight training. Almost everyone who has ever had any type of gym/health club/sports experience has at one time or another performed the bench press. The bench press is used as the strength yardstick in football and is one of the three contested lifts in powerlifting. At a recent national meet, a world-class bench presser was unable to touch his chest with over 750lbs on the bar. This was due to the incredibly tight and multi-layered bench shirt that he was using. Use of ridiculous support equipment is just one of the problems that powerlifting is currently facing. What many people dont understand is that the manufacturers of lifting support equipment have incredible clout with regards to the policies and rules of the governing bodies of the various powerlifting organizations. This influence ensures that support equipment will always be a part of powerlifting. This article details ways to improve your bench press along with adding strength and development to your upper body.
The first step to improving your bench press is to ensure that you are performing the lift with optimal technique. As popular as this lift is, it is rare to see good technique used during workouts. Perfecting your technique will allow for a more efficient lifting stroke, maximize development and will limit the chance of injuries. I highly recommend having your workouts videotaped and analyzed, as this will allow you to correct errors that might normally go undetected. The first step is to ensure you have a solid base on the bench. That means that head, shoulders, torso, butt and feet are firmly and solidly planted. The head should not come off the bench, the butt should remain in contact with the bench surface and the feet should be flat and dug into the floor. If your legs are too short to make solid contact with the floor, then use plates or blocks for a firm surface. When I am benching, I want my entire body to be tight and dug ineven to the point that when I am pressing the weight off my chest, at the same time I am pressing my head back into the bench and driving my feet into the floor, though there is no movement, just isometric contraction. Your approach to the exercise needs to be aggressive, though I am not talking about screaming, snorting, and slapping, but rather developing a sort of an internal rage and intensity that is channeled into completing the set. Remove the weight from the uprights and position the weight directly above chest. Lower the bar to the chest, touching in the general vicinity of just above the nipple. Drive the bar up and back so that when you are locked out- the bar is approximately at eye level. One common mistake that I often see in the bench press is that the lifter will lock out on the last rep and immediately dump it into the racks. This practice not only leads to injury but can disqualify lifts in competition. In fact, if you are a competitive lifter, then its a good idea to lock the weight and have the spotter say RACK and then place the bar back into the uprights. When I am spotting, I always guide the bar back into the uprights and then say CLEAR meaning the lifter can relax their grip on the bar.
I believe the repetition speed should be one in which the bar is moved with total control and without any type of jerking, bouncing or other ballistic activity. The lift should resemble a piston, solid, powerful, in a tight groove and moved with both precision and authority.
An often-overlooked component of the bench press is the use and development of the muscles of the back and in particular the lats. Very few lifters utilize the strength of the lats in their bench press and when they are able to incorporate lat contraction into their exercises, immediate increase is always achieved. Here is how you incorporate the lats into your bench press: Take an empty bar or even a wooden rod and assume the bench press position. Lower the bar to the chest and pause. Instead of driving the weight up with the arms, contract or flare the lats in an outward direction. If you have decent lat development, you should see the bar move several inches off the chest. This takes practice to utilize the lats in this manner, but be persistent and practice over and over with an empty bar, gradually adding weight as you get used to the movement. The eventual goal is to use the lats as sort of a cushion or coiled spring when lowering the bar and then contracting them strongly on the initial drive at the same time you are pressing with the arms. DO NOT walk into the gym tomorrow and attempt this with your max poundageif you do you will fail. I have worked with athletes who have increased their maximum bench press anywhere from 20-50lbs within 2 weeks as a result of using this technique. This also requires strong well-developed lats, which are developed by chins and rowing.
I am often asked what type of reps are best for the bench press, high reps, medium reps or low reps? My answer is Yes. I think the best program is one that incorporates high, medium and low reps. There are many different ways to do this. My personal favorite is the 10-5-3 method. You can either do 3, 4, or 5 sets based on your individual needs, but each workout the repetition scheme changes. For example, the first workout would be 4 sets of 10 reps, where each set is an all out set of 10. This involves decreasing the weight each set. The next workout in which bench presses are performed would be 4 sets of 5 repts, and then the next workout would be 4 sets of 3 reps. This takes some trial and error to determine weight selection, but goal setting and accurate record keeping is a big help.
A sample workout series would look something like this:
185lbs 1x10
165lbs 1x10
140lbs 1x10
135lbs 1x10
Total 6520lbs
225lbs 1x5
210lbs 1x5
190lbs 1x5
175lbs 1x5
Total 3125lbs
270lbs 1x3
255lbs 1x3
240lbs 1x3
230lbs 1x3
Total 2985lbs
The goal in each session is to always increase the total weight lifted. If all ten reps are not achieved, then simply multiply the weight by 9 or whatever number is achieved. You will find that the tens build incredible foundational strength, which helps you use heavy weight in the threes. The tens are physically taxing while the threes are more mentally challenging. The heavy weight used in the threes makes the relatively weight used in the tens seem easier by comparison. The fives hit the medium range which helps both tens and threes. Varying the repetitions each session also keeps the body from adapting to one particular routine, which allows for growth and development. Make sure that you set and complete all of the sessions within certain time frame, which is an individual choice, You will find that the tens require just a bit more rest between sets than the fives and threes. The number of days between workouts is also based on individual needs and preferences, You can make great gains doing each session once a week, or even as much as all three sessions within a 16 day time frame if desired.
Tricep strength is extremely important in achieving a big bench press. Here are a few tricep tips.
-The Parallel Bar Dip is an excellent triceps exercisein fact it may be the best overall triceps exercise for strength and development. It is important to stay upright when performing dips and often there is a tendency to lean forward, which shifts the stress away from the triceps. The best way to maintain upright form is to put your hands right on the end of the bars, facing away from the equipment. Your thumb and forefinger will wrap just near the end of the parallel bars, which will make it almost impossible to lean forward.
-Use the power rack about twice a month to strengthen the triceps, particularly on the lockout portion of the lift. Place a flat bench in the power rack and set the pins about 6-8 inches below lockout. Perform 1-2 sets of 6-10 reps each. Control the weight throughout the entire movement and when lowering the bar to the pin, do not bounce the weight, but rather, touch the pin, hold it for a momentary pause and press the weight to a lockout. Hold the lockout portion for 2-3 seconds. It is important to maintain the solid body position on the bench. If your feet or butt is moving or shifting, then the weight is too heavy. Dont overdo the power rack exercisesthey are very brutal and can lead to over-training.
-Trying performing lying tricep extensions, aka skull crushers while lying on a decline bench. The slope of the bench makes it much easier to keep the upper arms in an upright and perpendicular position, which is very important. Dumbells can also be used and allow for a greater stretch. Perform this movement in a very slow controlled motionthe key is contraction, keep constant tension on the triceps and working them as intensely as possible. When positive failure is obtained, you can push the exercise harder, but simply pulling the bar down to the chest and pressing it up to arms length.
-A variation of the tricep pressdown is to perform them with the use of an incline bench. Place a portable incline bench in front of a pushdown machine with the seat facing away from the weight stack. The bar attachment can either be a straight bar or a V-bar. Sit in the incline bench and pull the bar over your head or have someone hand it to you. Keeping your elbows tight against your sides, simply press the weight forward and down to arms length, contract the triceps strongly, then return the weight bar back until the forearms contact the lower biceps. To make the negative phase of the movement even more effective, pretend that you are pulling the weight back towards you, rather than just letting gravity do thatyou will see the increased emphasis on your triceps. Perform this movement in a slow and controlled manner and keep the reps above 10.

wow great post...
I will try that 10-5-3 method. I'll tell you in a month if my bench has gone up.
Thanks Keith,
Another great article. I've saved all of yours in my favorites list so I can access them easily.

Very informational. It shows how people can take a pretty basic lift and waste it with incorrect form (i.e. bouncing and not locking).
First off let me say that, that is an amazing article....but.....are you saying that chest developement is based around heavy flat bench pressing, rather than high rep excersizes like flies and dips?

My Exploits
Very informative. I'm gonna try and incorporate the lat technique you mentioned.
Tried using the lats and found it very difficult to do.
thanks all for the kind comments. To answer a few questions.
1. Using the lats takes time and practice-even if you have the back development it
takes awhile to learn to "recruit" those muscles-practice with the broomstick and
empty bar
2. It takes several cycles to learn how to properly select the weights-many guys have
done this program and quit after a month or so-be patient-after about 2-3 cycles
(meaning 3 workouts= one cycle) you will get very good at selecting the correct
weight, which is critical here. Give it at least 90 days ( this is also great for squats
for those who are have trouble progressing in that area) I think you should give
just about ANY program 90 days at a BARE minimum to test its worth
3. The Bench Press is a good chest developer, but certainly dips and flyes work
well too-I prefer the incline press myself, but we are all different-here is a little
secret-write this down and remember it-"The best advice you will ever get will
always come from the pages of your own personal training journal"

Morality in America
When studying the founding of the United States, you can't help but encounter the faith of the nation's forefathers. Time and again they recognized God's hand in the shaping of America. You will find Him repeatedly mentioned in their words and documents. And you will find Him having an active, vibrant role in the country's early history.
Today, God continues His work in America – but it's in a nation that has clearly lost its moral compass. Every week, "Morality in America" will address the myriad of moral concerns facing the United States and undermining its Godly heritage:
- Sanctity of life – abortion and euthanasia.
- Sanctity of marriage – same-sex marriage and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues.
- Sanctity of the family – divorce, spousal and child abuse, out-of-wedlock pregnancies and absentee fathers.
- Judicial activism (Supreme and lower court decisions).
- Revisionist education in the public schools.
- The perceived rise of Socialism and one-world government trends.
- Attacks and media bias against Christianity.
And much more…
After you read, remember to intercede in prayer for America – that this nation will return to the Christian standards that once defined it.

Authorities in Forsyth and Fulton counties are looking for a man who may have tried to lure children into his vehicle on two separate occassions.
The man is described as Asian, in his late 30's or early 40's and wearing glasses, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office.
The first incident happened on Sept. 6 in the Deerlake subdivision located off Peachtree Parkway in south Forsyth. That's where the man believed to be driving a white van pulled his vehicle near an 8-year-old boy who was walking home. The man asked the boy if he needed a ride. The child got away and told his parents who later reported what happened to law enforcement.
The second incident happened about a week and a half later, according to WSB-TV.
In a similar sounding report, another child was approached by an Asian man in a subdivision called Blackstone, which is located about two miles from Deerlake. But in this incident the man was driving a different vehicle, described to be a gray or brown truck. Johns Creek Police said the child did get away safely.
If you have information about either one of these incidents, you are urged to call Investigator Jason Soles of the FCSO at 770-781-3081. Report any suspicious activity by calling 911 or non-emergency dispatch at 770-781-3087.
On the Johns Creek Police Department Facebook page - these tips are offered:
Don't teach your child to associate danger only with strangers. Teach them to be aware of dangerous situations, whether they know the person or not. There are two types of strangers, Good and Bad.
Good strangers don't ask children for help they will ask another adult. Good strangers would never ask a child if they needed a ride. Bad strangers may try to trick a child.
• Give your children a list (names/cell/home phone) of 3 adults you trust. These are their "Safety Adults."
• Teach your children not to go anywhere with an adult, even one they know unless a parent or "Safety Adult" knows where they are going. This includes neighbors, parents' friends, teachers, coaches, etc.
• From the time your children learn how to speak, teach them their full name/phone number/ address.

Taking Care of Your Pocket
posted by generalin Read more...
"What brand you got RADO, ROLEX, and CITIZEN?" These are the most common questions in teens. Teens getting brand conscious making the poor feel inferior. Fake watches are the imitations of most of the world class high-end watches. They have the tendency to away your breath and truly have the power to influence you and the society you're in. Although fake, yet they have great quality which makes them look like almost real. The strong difference between fake and original watches is of the cost. While the original ones cost like thousands of dollars, it becomes impossible for common man to afford these watches so the privilege of bragging or feeling satisfied with an expensive charming watch restricts to only few.
The replica watches are very close to real brands and thus allows one to save a lot of money. Fake watches are a dream comes true for so many people across the globe who wished to make dynamic style statements by having a high class branded watch.
They are several online shops from where these fake watches can be bought but one must keep some things in mind and be aware of all the risks of online shopping and frauds. They are usually two kind of fake watches, one of good quality and the other low quality replicas. One should compare the replicas with the original ones and see how much it resembles it and whether the cost of it is worth it or not. Better replicas have really good finishing touches which make them look more realistic and difficult to judge whether it is original or not. Since they are so many types and styles of watches out, one should determine which style suits him/her best and what is his need so that the search could be narrowed down and be more specific. Low priced, good quality, easy to manage, no big loss of money when lost, and above all the joy of having a branded watch what more can you ask for a few hundred dollars?

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) - Water restrictions have been lifted in some western North Dakota cities.
The restrictions affected Williston, Watford City, Trenton and rural water systems in Williams and McKenzie counties. Mandatory water restrictions were lifted Friday in Williston and Watford city with the clearing of the muddy water caused by heavy rains in the Missouri River drainage.
The communities are served by water treated at the Williston treatment plant, which draws from the Missouri River.
The problem was due to recent heavy rainfall in eastern Montana and western North Dakota that stirred up sediment in the Missouri River, from which the plant draws water.

February 2013 Trustee Meeting Summary
February 8, 2013 | 3 p.m.
The second meeting of the Board of Trustees during the 2012-13 school year was held on Wednesday and Thursday, February 6 and 7, 2013. Thirty-three of 35 trustees were able to attend. The board heard reports from President Barnes and Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Kathleen Nelson regarding institutional finances and planning for next year. Senior Vice President for University Relations Pat Mazorol discussed planning for the next capital campaign and the restructuring of the development staff.
Financial issues were discussed in several sessions, including board committee meetings. The administration is monitoring revenue and expenditures, and will provide an update at the next Executive Committee meeting in March and a plan for 2013-14 at the May meeting of the full board. Trustees affirmed the administration's efforts both to develop a plan and to pursue opportunities to permanently reduce costs and preserve institutional strength for the future. The trustees concurred with the immediate actions, which include continuation of current salaries through fiscal FY14 with no increases in base salaries for either faculty or staff, and a Voluntary Separation Incentive Program to be announced on Monday, February 11. The administration informed the trustees of other options under consideration, including changes to retirement plans and reductions in programming and personnel.
Board members participated in a strategic planning scenario workshop on Wednesday afternoon, evaluating four proposals the university administration has begun to consider as part of expanding operations. Each proposal is linked to elements of the university strategic plan and include:
- A program to attract a student audience seldom reached at the college level
- An opportunity to consolidate some instructional and administrative space at a location near campus
- An opportunity to multiply and extend "partnership" relationships to provide programs to non-profit and corporate organizations in the area
- Strategies to consider in strengthening the College of Arts & Sciences
In a plenary session on Thursday morning, trustees offered their perspectives on the merits of these proposals and suggested principles administrators should consider when evaluating them further.
The Board also took a number of actions:
- The board ratified several employment actions for fall 2013.
- The board affirmed Debra Harless as executive vice president and provost of the university, subject to confirmation by the Bethel Corporation in 2014.
- Several faculty were approved for offers of an initial five-year term of tenure, to begin in fall 2013, pending final presidential review; a number of faculty members were approved for renewal of tenure, pending review by the provost.
- Retiring and retired faculty members were approved for emeritus status, including seminary professor John Cionca and College of Arts & Sciences faculty members G.W. Carlson, Kevin Cragg, Dale Johnson, Gregg Johnson, Tom Johnson, Maureen Juarez, and Dan Taylor. Former university library director Robert Suderman was named emeritus director.
- Trustees approved the posthumous award of a baccalaureate degree to Kaitlin Beske, College of Arts & Sciences student.

Young Men Becoming Addicted To Viagra to Keep up With Women
They are young, healthy, and leading active sex lives. What their dates, girlfriends, and wives do not know is that they are addicted to Viagra. Behind the scenes, spontaneous encounters are carefully planned out in advance. The attractive confidence hinges on chemical compounds. There is nothing physically wrong with them, but an increasing number of young men still cannot imagine sex without Viagra.
Sexual therapists and physicians report that an increasing number of young men are coming to them for Viagra prescriptions. Most of them may be in their 20s, but even boys in their teens are turning to doctors for prescriptions against an erectile dysfunction that does not exist. Dr. Robert Garafolo, who practices at the Children's Memorial Hospital and heads the youth services at Howard Brown Health Center, regularly meets with teenage boys who want Viagra. "There is nothing wrong with them, so I hear a lot of stories about anxiety or (failed) behavior," says Dr. Garafolo.

GIM Faculty:
As you are aware from the recent GIM Vision document that was circulated to all faculty, one of the identified goals was "Reach", with an agreed upon strategy to consistently identify ourselves as being from the Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine (+ our other affiliations, such as Denver Health, Denver VA, Presbyterian/St. Lukes, etc). In order to facilitate this consistent identity and "branding", we have developed PowerPoint and poster templates for your use - to the left column. Ideally all GIM faculty will use these templates when presenting at local, regional and national meetings.
Thank you!Jean S. Kutner, MD, MSPHDivision Head Division of General Internal Medicine

The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins will play for the second time this season, this meeting coming at venerable Lincoln Financial Field. But quarterback Robert Griffin III is active for Washington.
Philadelphia is woefully out of the race at 4-10 and just playing out the string, with this likely to be the last home game for Andy Reid.
There are plenty of big names that won't be dressing for Philadelphia, with the following list as the inactives, per Jeff Warner:
Quarterback Michael Vick, wide receiver Greg Salas, running back Chris Polk, fullback Stanley Havili, defensive end Darryl Tapp, guard Danny Watkins and tackle Matt Kopa.
With the Redskins, the best news is that Robert Griffin III won't be inactive two weeks in a row. Instead, these men will not be playing on Sunday, per the team:
Quarterback Rex Grossman, punt returner Brandon Banks, wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe, linebackers Roddrick Muckelroy and Vic So'oto, guard Adam Gettis and tackle Tyler Polumbus.
