Zap fat with cardio, and chances are, you'll lessen the look of cellulite. But the real exercise secret lies in one magic move: the lunge. You don't have to try it, unless, that is, you want firmer thighs.
Why it works: The lunge is one of your best weapons against cellulite, because it builds lean muscle in your butt and thighs, two cellulite-prone zones. Think of your leg as a legal pad: The paper is your fat, and the cardboard back is your muscle, says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., coauthor of No More Cellulite and research director at Quincy College in Massachusetts. If the cardboard is flimsy or missing altogether, the paper flops about, bulging inward and outward (as cellulite does); but if the cardboard is sturdy, the paper stays smooth.
To maximize the lunge's dimple-diminishing capabilities, watch your form: Never let your knees creep past your toes, and be sure to press the heel of your front foot into the floor and squeeze your glutes throughout, says Liz DiAlto, a fitness coach in New York City. Her routine: Do three sets of 12 to 20 reps of lunges on each leg, three or four times a week. In as little as one month, you'll see improvement.

Iona says first MAAC title since '01 'nothing to celebrate'
Feb 25, 2012, 11:46 AM EST
Iona's 77-72 win against Fairfield Friday night earned the Gaels their first regular-season Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title in more than a decade, something that won't surprise anyone who's seen them play this season.
Iona (23-6, 14-3) features two guys who have shot at making NBA rosters in point guard Scott Macado and forward Mike Glover, not to mention shooting guard Momo Jones, who was a key part of Arizona's run to the Elite Eight last season. Throw in sophomore Sean Armand – who scored all 17 of his points vs. Fairfield in the second half, 15 of which in a 5-minute span – and Iona has enough talent to run away with the league title and win an NCAA tournament game.
Yet a few puzzling losses in which Iona blew double-digit leads to Siena and Manhattan kept things close until the last few weeks.
Maybe that's why Iona didn't pop any bubbly Friday night (metaphorically speaking; some guys aren't 21). They expected this.
"There's nothing to celebrate," Armand said. "We did what we were supposed to do, we were preseason No. 1. We felt like we should be No. 1 and that's what we did. So now we're going to go to Springfield (for the MAAC Tournament) and we'll go from there."
Machado agreed with Armand's take on the lack of celebration.
"Like Sean said, we were predicted to be No. 1 and felt like we were supposed to be No. 1 so this is just the beginning. We want something bigger than this."
Something bigger would be Iona's second-ever NCAA tournament win. The Gaels have been to the Big Dance eight times, but their only win came back in 1980 vs. Holy Cross. The coach? None other than Jim Valvano, who would win an NCAA title just a few years later with N.C. State.
That'd be quite the feat for Tim Cluess to match.

KITCHENER — Students at St. Mary's high school will be invited to wrap blue elastic bands on their cellphones next week to remind them to "think" before they tweet.
Project Think — an acronym for is it True, is it Hurtful, is it Illegal, is it Necessary and is it Kind — is asking students to pause before they send a tweet or retweet on Twitter or comment on someone's Facebook status.
More and more, school administrators are dealing with electronic bullying, often called cyberbullying, in which students are posting hurtful comments on photographs or negatively commenting on teens' Facebook status.
Vice-principal Joan Grundy and the lead behind the project, said she's concerned that some young women are referring to their female peers as "whores" when using social media.
The bantering between girls on Twitter can lead to mean personalized statements, she said.
"It's so stressful. We spend a lot of hours in these offices on 'tweet wars,' " she said.
"It has the capability of going from a small nucleus to a disease in a large group," Grundy said.
Anne Facey, physical education teacher and Project Think committee member, said the social media realm is wide open to students with little boundaries; often parents aren't aware of what students are saying to each other.
"It's like the Wild, Wild West, or TheLord of the Flies. It's an unsupervised area," she said.
Project THINK is an initiative in partnership with the Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council to end bullying. The blue band is an extension of last year's project, Kindness Matters, which used blue wristbands to encourage students to treat each other with respect. The campaign will run from Nov. 12 to 15, but will carry on throughout the school year, said Grundy.
Students will be invited to sign a pledge to stop bullying and through a live feed, students will listen to an assembly from their classrooms in which a police officer will talk about the legal aspects of bullying or harassing others. Special prayers, some written by students, will be read throughout the week during morning announcements.
A moment of silence will be held for teens who have taken their lives because of the bullying by others, teens such as Amanda Todd.
The British Columbia teen killed herself on Oct. 10 after posting a disturbing video on YouTube detailing both physical and emotional abuse from cyberbullies.
In handwritten notes held up to a camera, 15-year-old Todd told her story, describing how she suffered anxiety and depression, eventually turning to drugs and alcohol and trying twice to kill herself.
Grade 10 student Kailyn Rodrigues said she'll wrap the band on her iPhone. She's seen friends harassed online and has defended them.
"I will use the blue band just to have the 'stop' moment to think," said Dylan Chin-A-Loy, 17.
The hope is that the blue band campaign will spread to other area Catholic high schools. Some schools with the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic school board are already on board.
Facey, the gym teacher, said she's heard girls say, "Why did she post a picture like that? She deserved it," referring to negative comments from others.
"There appears to be a lack of compassion. Those discussions need to take place," she said.
"Tweeting something does not make it less hurtful," Facey said.
Once a comment or a photo is on Twitter or Facebook, it can spread quickly to others and become a permanent reminder of pain for someone else, Facey said.
Grundy said she's concerned whenever a girl sends a naked photograph of herself to a boy. Soon, he's sent it to other friends on BlackBerry Messenger and the picture is in the hands of many.
"What would compel a young woman to send a naked picture of herself to her boyfriend? She is victimizing herself ... and by sending it to others, she is being re-victimized."
Religion teacher Denise Lowe, who is also a member of the project committee, said students need to understand that saying a comment that may not appear hurtful to them may be painful for someone else. Saying "just kidding" after the negative comment isn't good enough, she said.

Grapefruit-Drug Interactions Can Be Deadly
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Roxanne Palmer | November 27, 2012 8:09 AM EST
A spoonful of grapefruit does not help the medicine go down, it turns out – and in some cases, it could prove deadly.
Researchers are now finding more and more instances of dangerous drug interactions between various medications and grapefruit. The more serious side effects range from internal bleeding to kidney failure, heart abnormalities and sudden death. (A full list of susceptible drugs appears at the end of this article.)
In a paper published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, three Ontario-based researchers review recent case studies and articles examining grapefruit-drug interactions and call upon doctors to be aware of the potentially dangerous mixture of certain drugs and citrus fruits.
"Unless health care professionals are aware of the possibility that the adverse event they are seeing might have an origin in the recent addition of grapefruit to the patient's diet, it is very unlikely that they will investigate it," the authors wrote. "In addition, the patient may not volunteer this information. Thus, we contend that there remains a lack of knowledge about this interaction in the general healthcare community."
Between 2008 and 2012, the introduction of new medications and new formulations of existing drugs increased the number of substances with the potential for seriously dangerous interactions with grapefruit from 17 to 43. Overall, more than 85 drugs in circulation have the potential to interact with the fruit.
There are several factors common to drugs that interact with grapefruit: they are all taken by mouth, the have low to intermediate bioavailability – meaning only a fraction of the drug will circulate in the bloodstream, with the rest digested – and all of them are broken down by an enzyme called cytochrome P450 3A4, also known as CYP3A4.
Grapefruits also interact with CYP3A4 through chemicals called furanocoumarins, which inactivate CYP3A4. Turning off the enzyme means that less of the drug is absorbed by the small intestine and liver, so a person gets a much higher dose of the drug than expected – leading to accidental overdoses of the medication.
Affected drugs range from anticancer drugs like Nilotinib, sold under the brand name Tasigna, to the bladder medication Solifenacin, also known as Vesicare. The lower a drug's normal bioavailability there is, the greater the possible consequences of a grapefruit interaction. Elderly people seem to be more at risk for dangerous interactions -- though this may just be because older people tend to both buy more grapefruit and take more medications, the authors say.
All forms of grapefruit, including whole fruit, juice, and frozen concentrate, contain the enzyme-inactivating chemicals.
"One whole grapefruit or 200 [milliliters] of grapefruit juice is sufficient to cause clinically relevant increased systemic drug concentration and subsequent adverse effects," the authors wrote.
The effect of the grapefruit also lingers. According to the authors, the maximum possible drug interaction occurs four hours after a glass of grapefruit juice. 24 hours after the juice is consumed, there is still the potential for drug interaction, though it is at a quarter of the maximum.
Other fruits like limes, pomelos, and seville oranges – often used to make marmalade – also interact with the enzyme in the way that grapefruits do. Most sweet oranges, including navel and valencia varieties, are not dangerous because they do not contain furanocoumarins.
If you're unsure about possible grapefruit interactions with your medication, ask your doctor or consult the list below to see if your drug appears.
"The current trend of increasing numbers of newly marketed grapefruit-affected drugs possessing substantial adverse clinical effects necessitates an understanding of this interaction and the application of this knowledge for the safe and effective use of drugs in general practice," the authors wrote.
So, if you're still unsure about your medication, it may be best to switch to orange juice for the time being.

SELECT LIST OF DRUGS WITH GRAPEFRUIT INTERACTION POTENTIAL (according to Bailey et al.):
Anti-cancer drugs: Crizotinib, Dasatinib, Erlotinib, Everolimus, Lapatinib, Nilotinib, Pazopanib, Sunitinib, Vandetanib, Venurafenib.

HOUSTON (AP) - Retail gasoline prices in Texas and nationwide have slipped a penny this week.
The Beaumont average is down a penny at $3.64. That's 12 cents higher than the $3.52 average at this time one year ago. The record high in Beaumont was $4 a gallon in July 2008.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported the statewide average price at the pump stood at $3.66 per gallon. Drivers nationwide are paying an average $3.82 per gallon.
Texarkana has the most expensive gasoline in Texas at $3.72 per gallon. The association survey found that the cheapest gasoline statewide is in El Paso, at $3.44 per gallon.
AAA says gasoline prices spiked last week as the Gulf Coast braced for Hurricane Isaac and some refineries shut down. Prices weakened once the market determined Isaac would have a limited impact on long-term production.

IRVING - From AAA Texas - Drivers in the state of Texas are now paying $3.66 for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel, which is down one cent from last week, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch. Motorists in Texarkana are paying the most on average at $3.72, and drivers in El Paso are paying the least at $3.44. Drivers in the Lone Star State are paying about 16 cents less than the national average of $3.82, which also decreased a penny from last week.
National gas prices saw a spike last week as the Gulf Coast braced for Hurricane Isaac. Refineries totaling more than one million barrels per day of production capacity had announced closures in preparation for the storm and wholesale gasoline prices in regions supplied by these facilities surged higher. But those prices weakened once the market determined the storm would have a limited impact on long-term production.
AAA analysts expect prices at the pump will decline heading toward the end of the year as demand decreases with the end of the summer driving season, refineries switch to less expensive winter-blend gasoline, and the hurricane season ends in November.
""We're hopeful even more relief is on the way soon," said AAA Texas/New Mexico Representative Doug Shupe. "Right now Texans are paying about $52 to fill up a typical 14-gallon size tank of gas. We encourage people to continue to maintain their vehicles according to manufacturer's recommendations to maximize their fuel efficiency."
To help consumers identify quality auto repair shops that can assist in the maintenance and repair of their vehicles, AAA offers the Approved Auto Repair program as a free public service. AAA-approved repair facilities meet and maintain high professional standards for training, equipment, cleanliness and customer service. Motorists can look for the Approved Auto Repair sign at local auto repair facilities, or search for a nearby AAA-approved shop online at AAA.com/Repair.
Average gasoline prices drop slightly

ann is one of the main reasons we are in this mess pushing krispy kreme and Romney at us and attacking all other candidates. she should be ashamed and go away but she apparently has no shame and still thinks we listen to her. I think I trust her about as much as I trust Pelosi and really wish Glen would stop linking to her at all. Are you listening ann?

ok, so do we fire all those idiots that threatened to do much worse to Romney if he got elected or to those actresses that dared speak out in favor or Romney.

Can we instead take a moment to realize that one of the reasons we are in this mess is because of Matt Drudge. He attaacked every single conservative in the primaries and people bought into it. Perhaps the real enemy of conservatives is closer than you think.
Isn't it time to just say no to fake conservatives"

Is Climate The Mother Of Innovation?
Toledo, Ohio's summer battle with toxic algae is just the latest in a string of weather-related catastrophes to beset our nation's water and sewer systems. Hurricane Sandy's unprecedented storm surge caused more than $500 million in damage to coastal water systems. Last year's Arizona wildfires that killed 19 firefighters also devastated forested watersheds in a…
A Watershed Moment for Los Angeles
The timing might seem odd, even self-destructive. Last month, in the midst of one of the most severe droughts in California's historical record, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti issued an executive order calling for his southern California city to cut its water imports by half within a decade. Water transferred hundreds of miles from northern…
Can Desalination Help Save a Holy River?
The Jordan River of the Middle East has supported a long succession of empires and other human settlements for more than 8,000 years, but it took less than one generation of modern civilization to reduce the river to a trickle of sewage. Now, the ultra-modern technology of "desalination" — turning ocean water into fresh water…
Corn Belt Pollution: Louisiana Shrimp And Oysters Pay The Price
By Meg Wilcox Senior Manager, Communications, Ceres The Croatian Pride pushes off the dock and cuts slowly through the grey Gulf of Mexico, its engine growling.

What the Disappearing Aral Sea Tells Us about the Value of Water
The satellite image of the Aral Sea recently released by NASA just about knocked my socks off. It wasn't that the sea was shrinking; that's been true for decades. It was how fast it was disappearing. Once the world's fourth largest lake, the Aral Sea in Central Asia has been losing water for half a…
The Real Relationship Between Conservation and Rising Water Rates
From Mary Ann Dickinson, President and CEO of the Alliance for Water Efficiency: A number of articles have been published recently which report on rising water rates across the U.S., pointing fingers firmly at dropping national water demand – and the efficient fixtures and behaviors driving that drop – as the reason.
While this discussion brings much-needed attention to the infrastructure investments that are required to sustain our water systems, the focus on conservation as the primary culprit behind the increasing cost of water is inaccurate and misleading. Furthermore, this misrepresentation of the relationship between water conservation and rates is detrimental to efforts to ensure that consumers use water wisely and guarantee a long-term, reliable and affordable supply of fresh water in their communities.

Rivers Need a Thorough Health Exam
Rivers are the blue arteries of the Earth. Their flows deliver sediment and nutrients to floodplains, deltas and coastal zones, some of the most biologically productive ecosystems on the planet. They connect and sustain the web of life. So it might be surprising that globally we don't systematically monitor their health. Imagine damming and diverting…
117 Million Lakes Found in Latest World Count
Using satellite photos and computerized mapping technologies, an international research team counted all of the lakes on Earth.

It is the first time the world's lakes have been…
With 38% of Global Shale Gas Located in Regions of Water Stress, More Oversight of Fracking is Urgently Needed
As more data emerge, shale gas increasingly appears to be in the cross-hairs of the water-energy nexus, and far too little is being done to defuse impending conflicts. While hydraulic fracturing (or "fracking"), the process used to unleash natural gas from shale deposits, has raised serious concerns about groundwater contamination, less attention has been given…

Rare Siamese Crocodiles Released as Ambassadors for Laotian Wetland
Seventeen Critically Endangered juvenile Siamese crocodiles have been released into into a protected wetland in Laos, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) announced today. The Siamese crocodile is named Freshwater Species of the Week for its critical role in the fragile Xe Champhone and other wetlands in Southeast Asia. Saving the species from the brink of extinction in the wild and restoring its habitat will help ensure a healthy environment and create socio-economic opportunities for the people who depend on the wetlands.

Consumer trends - barbell preferences? »
There is a portfolio construction technique known as a "barbell
strategy" which bond traders often use. It involves focussing the
portfolio on only very short maturity bonds and very long maturity
bonds in order to take advantage of mispricing. So as opposed to
putting all of your portfolio in a 10 year bond, you might put 50%
in a 20 year bond and 50% in a 3-month bond. The 3-month section
gives flexibility, as it will behave like cash - which gives the
opportunity to take more risk with the other 50%. Ideally, you end
up with a portfolio that performs better than just holding a 10
year bond.

Nebraska redshirt Deverell Biggs cited for DUI, leaving the scene
Dec 26, 2012, 6:48 PM EST
Deverell Biggs, a JuCo transfer currently redshirting this season at Nebraska, was cited for suspicion of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident, according to a report from Omaha.com.
Here's what happened:
Biggs, a 20-year-old junior, was waiting for the stoplight to change at Howard and 15th Streets about 1:40 a.m. Sunday, according to an Omaha police report. A Bellevue man stopped behind him, also facing west, told police Biggs remained parked in his Chevrolet Suburban through several light changes.
Biggs then backed his car into the Bellevue man's Mercedes, got out of his car and briefly talked with the man but drove away before the two could exchange information, according to police.
Biggs and his vehicle were found later that night by the police, and he ended up blowing a 0.134. The legal limit in Nebraska is 0.08. Not good.
It's an unfortunate turn of events for Biggs, who is a Nebraska native that is waiting for his chance to star for the Huskers. Biggs was the first in-state player to sign with the Huskers since 2001. While in high school, he led Omaha Central to three straight Class A state titles and was a two-time All-State selection in addition to being the state's consensus Player of the Year as a senior. Biggs was also a first-team All-American at the JuCo level last season.
"I told Deverell we would meet on the 26th and handle it," head coach Tim Miles said. "I'm obviously greatly disappointed in the report and Deverell's actions. I'll gather more information before making a decision on disciplinary action."

Teenager jailed for killing man with one punch
Thursday 19 November 2009
A teenager was jailed for 20 months today for killing a man with a single punch in an unprovoked attack.
Darryl Church was just 17 years old when he walked up to William McNaught and threw a deadly punch.
The blow twisted Mr McNaught's neck, rupturing a vital artery and severed the flow of blood to his brain.
The 24-year-old was unconscious before he hit the ground in Abbeymead Avenue, Abbeymead, Gloucester on 9 May last year.
Church, now aged 18, of Curlew Close, Abbeymead, was sent to a young offenders' institution for 20 months after admitting manslaughter at an earlier hearing.
Bristol Crown Court heard today that Church was given a 12 month referral order in April 2008 after being convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He was just 16 when he punched another teenager at a party fracturing his jaw and again rendering him unconscious.
At that time the altercation started with an argument over a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey between the victim and one of Church's friends.
In a chilling similarity, Mr Justice Burnett said today that the fatal blow to Mr McNaught came after a previous confrontation between Mr McNaught and the same friend.
Mr McNaught had been on a night out with his fiancee Nicole Brown and friends.
He had been drinking heavily, sparking an argument between him and Miss Brown who left him in a nightclub to go home.
Mr McNaught was found to have alcohol levels in his blood that would have been more than three times the legal drink drive limit.
After falling and hitting his head on a fence, Mr McNaught was being driven home by his sister and a friend and asked the driver to pull over when he saw Church and his group of friends drinking on the street.
Mr McNaught did not know Church but wanted to speak to his friend and so got out of the car.
Prosecutor Julian Kesner said that as he approached the group he had his hands by his side in a non-threatening way but was pushed away.
Church then walked over and threw his body weight behind a single punch to the left side of Mr McNaught's head.
Despite attempts to save his life, Mr McNaught was declared brain dead in hospital the next day and his life support machine was turned off.
In interviews Church at first denied he had hit Mr McNaught but then agreed that he had punched him because he thought "we were in trouble, that he was going to start".
Mr McNaught's mother Janet said in a letter written to the court: "William's death has devastated and broken our hearts.
"I have tried to come to terms with William's sudden and violent end but I continue to struggle.
"The act that took him from us was so mindless and vicious I cannot accept it.
"Darryl Church will have to live with what he did for the rest of his life as will we.
"No amount of time will be paid for what we have lost.
"Darryl Church needs this time to consider his actions and behaviour and to truly understand the consequences of what he did."
Martin Steen, mitigating, said: "This has been a devastating blow to both families.
"The defendant has asked me to apologise to the family for their tragic loss, if there was anything that he could say or do to put matters right he would take those steps.
"But there is not and he will live with the shame and guilt for the rest of his life."
Sentencing, Mr Justice Burnett said: "This case demonstrates the inherent danger in punching anyone in the head.
"Often it is the subsequent banging of the head on the ground when someone falls that causes a fatal injury but sometimes, as here, the blow itself causes damage which is fatal.
"You did not intend to cause serious injury but that provides no consolation for Mr McNaught's family who have described their incomprehension at the mindless and vicious thing you did."
As the sentence was read out Mr McNaught's family left the public gallery in tears.
Mr McNaught was living in Kingsholm, Gloucester, at the time of his death but was born in Glasgow where he spent his early childhood before moving to Cheltenham with his parents Alan and Janet.
After their separation he moved back to Glasgow, attending Drumchapel High School, to live with his father until the age of 18 when he went back to Gloucestershire to live with his mother.
He had 14 brothers and sisters and his funeral at Gloucester Cathedral in July was attended by more than 150 people.
