NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- President Obama on Monday called for a two-year freeze in the wages of federal employees.
The freeze, which would need congressional approval and save $60 billion over 10 years, would make a small dent in the nation's debt problem. Budget experts say nearly $6 trillion in deficit reduction is needed to stabize the debt, so the new proposal achieves less than 1% of what's ultimately needed.
Still, it's an important step to help generate taxpayer support at a time when policymakers will need to make numerous difficult decisions about curbing the debt, one fiscal expert said.
"It's a real money issue and a psychological first step," said Maya MacGuineas, fiscal policy director at the New America Foundation. (Obama's debt panel nears final report)
Debt in focus: Obama's proposal comes at the start of a critical week on the debt issue. The president will meet Tuesday with congressional leaders of both parties and a bipartisan deficit commission he set up earlier this year is set to make final recommendations on Wednesday.
"The hard truth is that getting this deficit under control is going to require some broad sacrifice," Obama said. "And that sacrifice must be shared by the employees of the federal government."
According to the administration, the two-year pay freeze would save $2 billion for the remainder of fiscal year 2011 and $28 billion over the next five years.
The freeze would not apply to military personnel, but would apply to all civilian federal employees, including those working at the Department of Defense. Approximately 2 million federal workers will be affected, according to the Office of Management and Budget.
Federal workers shouldn't feel singled out: The White House says more tough choices are on the way.
"This freeze is not to punish federal workers or to disrespect the work that they do," the White House said in a statement. "It is the first of many actions we will take in the upcoming budget to put our nation on sound fiscal footing -- which will ask for some sacrifice from us all."
According to a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, 68% of Americans say reducing the deficit is more important than avoiding cuts in salary and benefits for federal workers.
In the same poll, Americans said that avoiding significant spending cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, college loans, aid to farmers and unemployed workers is more important than reducing the deficit.
Next steps: On Capitol Hill, Obama's proposal is likely to pick up support on the other side of the aisle.
Republicans have argued in favor of a freeze in recent weeks, and the co-chairmen of Obama's bipartisan deficit commission made a similar recommendation earlier this month.
"It's a great start. I'll applaud when he [Obama] does the right thing, and he did in this case," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican and the presumptive chairman of the House subcommittee on federal workers. "I'd like to see things go further. Personally, I would like to see the overall payroll cut by 10%."
At the same time, the proposal was criticized by a key lawmaker of Obama's own party. Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland said the president's freeze should be extended to more military personnel although not those actively serving in combat.
The National Federation of Federal Employees, which represents 110,000 workers, immediately came out against the proposal.
"We understand that sacrifices will have to be made in order to reduce our nation's growing budget deficit, but we believe doing so at the expense of dedicated civil service employees is a misguided approach," President William Dougan said in a statement.
Monday's announcement is not the first time government employees have faced cuts during the Obama administration. During his first year in office, he froze the salaries of top White House officials and proposed to do so for other top political appointees. He also eliminated bonuses for all political appointees.

T5 Heathrow Cappuccino, Most Expensive In the World?
They've been having horrendous (what are claimed to be just) teething problems with the baggage handling system at the new terminal 5 at Heathrow International Airport last week, but the problems don't seem to stop there.
According to a report we saw on Ananova, reporting a story from The Sun (a British tabloid), a visitor to the new terminal finished off 4 cappuccinos while waiting for a traveler flying in from Hong Kong.
She was expecting a bill for about £12.
The bill was actually for £361,514.97.
The error was immediately rectified and apparently everyone had a laugh at the error which was blamed on a computer glitch.

Independence House resident Rebecca Brown tickles the foot of 4-month-old Easton Hall, son of resident Valerie Hall. He was born drug-free.
Neveah Lueloff, 21 months, watches as her mother, Melissa Lueloff, 28, begins to tear up discussing her former drug addictions. Melissa has five children, two were born with drug addictions, Neveah in 2010 and Tavian Lueloff in 2008. Melissa spent 10 months in Lousiville's Grace House program before setting out to lead a sober life last March. May 10, 2012
About the series
The Courier-Journal has been investigating the state�s prescription drug abuse epidemic for the past two years, publishing stories on the rising toll of drug overdoses, the Florida pain-pill pipeline, rogue pain clinics in Kentucky and the overprescribing of narcotics by well-meaning doctors.
Today, medical writer Laura Ungar looks at how the addiction surge affects the next generation � newborns suffering drug withdrawal because of their mothers� drug use.
Ungar wrote these stories while participating in The California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships, a program of the University of Southern California�s Annenberg School of Journalism, which is providing partial funding for this project.
how To help
The public may donate to prevention programs targeting pregnant addicts; a few are listed below. People may also inquire about volunteering with babies going through withdrawal in local hospitals.
� For Volunteers of America�s Women�s Substance Abuse Treatment Services, go to www.voaky.org or call 636-4660 to request a donation envelope.
� For Cumberland River Comprehensive Care Center�s Independence House in Corbin, send checks to Independence House at 3110 Cumberland Falls Highway, Corbin, KY 40701 (Attn.: Mary Burnette).
� For Jefferson Alcohol and Drug Abuse Center, send checks to JADAC, 600 S. Preston St., Louisville 40202. JADAC especially needs funds for its family day and concerned persons services for family members, including those of pregnant women.
Volunteering with babies

Editor�s note:
The Courier-Journal has been investigating the state�s prescription drug abuse epidemic for the past two years, publishing stories on the rising toll of drug overdoses, the Florida pain-pill pipeline, rogue pain clinics in Kentucky and the overprescribing of narcotics by well-meaning doctors.
Today, in the project�s fifth installment, medical writer Laura Ungar looks at how the addiction surge affects the next generation � newborns suffering drug withdrawal because of their mothers� drug abuse. See past stories at www.courier-journal.com/drugabuse
Laura Ungar wrote these stories while participating in The California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships, a program of the University of Southern California�s Annenberg School of Journalism, which is providing partial funding for this project.
More than half the babies in University Hospital�s neonatal intensive care unit one day this month were suffering from drug withdrawal � one sucking licorice-flavored morphine to ease his tremors and near-constant crying, another so sensitive to light and sound that he slept in a dark isolation room.
They are the tiniest victims of Kentucky�s prescription pill epidemic, and their numbers are soaring.
Kentucky has seen its hospitalizations for addicted newborns climb from 29 in 2000 to 730 last year. The state�s 2,400 percent increase dwarfs by comparison a disturbing national rise of 330 percent found in a study that examined hospitalizations from 2000-09.
�It�s a silent epidemic that�s going on out there,� said Audrey Tayse Haynes, secretary of the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. �You need to say: �Stop the madness. This is too much.� �
The skyrocketing numbers reflect the enormity of Kentucky�s prescription drug abuse problem, which is among the nation�s worst. It kills about 1,000 Kentuckians a year and wrecks thousands more lives in a state plagued by doctor shortages, high levels of chronic pain and illness, and too little drug abuse treatment.
Van Ingram, executive director of the state Office of Drug Control Policy, requested statistics on Kentucky infant hospitalizations � collected for the first time � after hearing that the state�s pain pill explosion was fueling a dramatic rise in addicted newborns. He soon realized the state�s epidemic is threatening to claim a second generation.
�I was blown away,� he said. �We need to slow the tide.�
While state officials and doctors say the hospitalization statistics reflect newborns suffering withdrawal from all types of drugs, they blame prescription pills for the dramatic increase. And even as growing awareness and better diagnoses play a role in the rising numbers, they say rampant abuse is driving the rise.
Melissa Lueloff, 28, of Louisville, who gave birth to an addicted girl two years ago, said her cravings at the time for OxyContin, Opana and cocaine ruled her life even during pregnancy � �I just couldn�t stop.�
Neveah was born a month premature and spent five days in a neonatal intensive care unit struggling with withdrawal, constantly clenching her tiny fists and whining in pain.
A silent epidemic
Nurse Tonya Anderson, an infant development/touch therapist for neonatal nurseries at Kosair Children�s Hospital, said there are times when as many as 14 of 26 babies in the special-care nursery where she works suffer from withdrawal.
�They are just agitated. They are screaming. They have tremors. Their faces � you have the grimace. They�re in pain. � Sometimes, the babies have seizures,� she said. �We hate it. � It breaks my heart to see these babies go through withdrawal.�
On a recent morning, Anderson cuddled and caressed a crying infant whose tiny foot peeked from beneath a blanket. The newborn, surrounded by beeping monitors, quieted and melted into her chest.
As nurses and doctors care for the newborns, state and hospital officials are trying to cope with the larger problem � convening experts, seeking grants to educate the public and creating special infant-withdrawal units in hospitals.
But there�s not enough drug treatment for pregnant addicts, they say, and more needs to be done to protect the lives the addicts carry.
Carla Saunders, a neonatal nurse practitioner at East Tennessee Children�s Hospital in Knoxville, a pioneer in the treatment of babies withdrawing from drugs, said the public simply cannot afford to ignore this national epidemic.
A team of researchers writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association in May found that overall health care costs for addicted newborns are soaring � from $190 million in 2000 to $720 million in 2009.
Addicted babies stayed an average of 16.4 days in the hospital at a cost of $53,400 per infant, with government-funded Medicaid paying the bill in 80 percent of cases.
And while little is known about long-term outcomes, evidence suggests that addicted babies may have higher rates of behavioral issues and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder that could burden schools and the health care system for years to come, Saunders said.
�People think it�s easy to ignore the substance-abuse problem,� she said. �But it�s your problem. You better take notice.�
Rampant addiction
According to the May study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the rate of newborns suffering withdrawal in the United States rose from 1.2 hospitalizations per 1,000 hospital births in 2000 to 3.4 per 1,000 in 2009. Doctors call the condition �neonatal abstinence syndrome.�
Based on their findings, researchers estimated that 13,539 newborns were born addicted in 2009 � more than one baby every hour.
�We knew that it was common, but we would not expect this problem would have tripled in the last decade,� said Dr. Matthew Davis, an associate professor at the University of Michigan and one of the study�s authors. �There are not many medical problems that have tripled in a decade � not obesity, not heart disease, not diabetes.�
Davis and his colleagues did not examine regional data, but he said he was not surprised about Kentucky�s numbers, given the overall trend. There�s regional evidence that rapid increases have occurred after the national study period ended in 2009.
In Kentucky, the number of hospitalizations for addicted newborns rose from 470 in 2009 to 730 in 2011. Saunders said the number of addicted babies at her Tennessee hospital has more than tripled in the past three years.
University of Kentucky biostatisticians who calculated Kentucky�s hospitalization numbers didn�t break them down by county or region, but Kentucky doctors said addiction affects babies in every corner of the state.
Dr. Lori Ann Devlin-Phinney, a neonatologist who sees patients at University Hospital, Kosair Children�s and Baptist Hospital East, said she�s counted 132 newborns treated for addiction to opiates or narcotics at University�s NICU in the past seven years.
She�s seen similar numbers at Kosair Children�s � including 65 in 2011 � and about 50 during the seven-year period at Baptist East.
Devlin-Phinney also tracked a steep recent rise at University Hospital, from nine in 2006 to 44 in 2011. The hospital had particularly high numbers of addicted babies in its NICU earlier this month � with eight of its 15 babies suffering withdrawal in the 24-bed unit.
Neonatologists at UK Medical Center in Lexington, where many patients come from Eastern Kentucky, report seeing 90 to 100 addicted babies a year � or about one in eight babies there.
�Every hospital where there are newborns sees it,� said Anderson.
Born addicted
According to the JAMA study, 60 percent to 80 percent of infants exposed to opiates in the womb develop neonatal abstinence syndrome.
While babies do not show signs of psychological addiction, they experience the physical effects of withdrawal.
UK screens every mother and baby for drugs, but some hospitals instead assess a mother�s drug use history and look for symptoms in the newborn. Those symptoms may show up one to three days after birth, potentially meaning a baby would have to return to the hospital after going home.
By that time, the mother�s drugs are out of the newborn�s system, and �they�re basically looking for their fix, so they have this withdrawal,� said Dr. Henrietta Bada of UK.
Many cry constantly. Some suffer diarrhea, vomiting, low-grade fevers, sweating and seizures. They�re extra-sensitive to noise and light and often console themselves by sucking.
At Kosair Children�s recently, one newborn girl sucked frantically on an orange pacifier and squeezed her eyes tightly closed, opening them only when nurses dimmed the lights.
Bada said some born prematurely experience respiratory distress and have to be placed on ventilators. They �can get into critical condition,� she said.
Devlin-Phinney said doctors often use a combination of oral morphine and phenobarbitol to treat addicted babies, escalating doses based on symptoms and then weaning the infants from them.
Babies with milder cases don�t need medicating, doctors said, but all require comfort measures. Anderson swaddles the babies in blankets to make them feel secure, massages them gently, and rocks and cuddles them.
�Sometimes,� she said, �all we can do is hold them.�
Janiece French of Louisville, a 68-year-old grandmother, helps the nurses provide this tender care as a volunteer at Kosair Children�s. In her three years volunteering, she�s witnessed the cycle of addiction, caring for siblings of drug-addicted babies born in the same condition.
Earlier this month, she settled into a rocking chair with a newborn girl, gently rubbing her back to soothe the baby through withdrawal.
�Mostly it�s just rocking, cuddling � whatever it takes,� French said. �But all you can do is get them off on the right track. You do what you can while they�re here and then, like your own children, you have to let them go, give them their wings, and hope for the best.�
Treating moms
Dr. Lori Shook, a UK neonatologist, said caring for such babies can be frustrating because the condition �is avoidable.�
�At the same time,� she said, �the substance-abuse problems suffered by their mothers are very real.�
Dr. Jonathan Weeks, an obstetrician and associate professor of maternal/fetal medicine at the University of Louisville, treats the mothers, trying to help.
He said pregnant addicts going cold turkey risk miscarriage or preterm birth, so the treatment of choice is methadone, a pain reliever that also prevents withdrawal symptoms. But some women on methadone give birth to babies who go through withdrawal from that drug.
Weeks said many of the pregnant addicts he sees are strongly motivated to get clean. And while kicking their habits in the first trimester is better for the fetus, he said that often doesn�t happen.
�The vast majority of mothers are concerned about their babies,� he said. But �opiate addiction is a chronic problem with lots of relapses.�
Kentucky has a handful of long-term residential programs that target pregnant and post-partum addicts, including Volunteers of America�s Freedom House in Louisville and Cumberland River Comprehensive Care Center�s Independence House in Corbin. Both provide therapy, life-skills education and support.
Recovering pill addict Valerie Hall of Pikeville, a 26-year-old mother of three, was five months pregnant with her youngest child when she came to Independence House after serving jail time for drug trafficking. With counseling and support, she gave birth to a healthy, drug-free son, Easton, more than four months ago.
�I know he would�ve been born addicted if I had not come here,� she said, cradling Easton as he sucked on a bottle. �I love him so much, and I�m grateful nothing happened to him.�
Rickitta Smith, a recovering pain pill addict and former Freedom House client, said that program helped her give birth to a healthy baby as well.
�I was just tired of living that life,� said Smith, who stopped taking the drugs when she was five months pregnant with her son. �I could feel my baby being hurt. It scared me.�
But there are often waiting lists for such programs, and a similar location recently closed in Louisville for lack of funding.
Keeping custody
When a woman gives birth to an addicted baby, she can face serious consequences.
Criminal charges, however, are unlikely. Although women have been charged over the years with taking drugs while pregnant, a 1993 Kentucky Supreme Court ruling found that criminal child abuse doesn�t extend to a woman�s use of drugs while pregnant, Assistant Commonwealth�s Attorney Leland Hulbert said.
But giving birth to a drug-affected baby can bring in child-protective services. Doctors and advocates said some women then go through treatment and keep their babies, but others lose custody. UK doctors said about four in 10 drug-affected babies can�t go home with their mothers.
�A lot of these moms are very loving moms,� Shook said. �They�re just not at a point in their lives when they can take care of a baby.�
Doctors and nurses said they try to educate parents in the hospital about caring for their infants and getting help for their addictions. �Our place is not to judge,� Saunders said.�Our place is to help.�
Tara Glover, a family advocate for Volunteers of America whose own son was born withdrawing from drugs nearly two decades ago, said many people see addiction as a moral failing instead of a disease. �But addicts aren�t bad people,� she said. �They�re sick people.�
Lueloff said she was at one of the lowest points in her life when she gave birth to Neveah, who was placed with a foster family and then an aunt.
But after becoming pregnant again, Lueloff sought help at a house run by Volunteers of America�s substance-abuse services. She wiped away tears as she recalled getting sober and giving birth to a healthy son less than a year ago, her fifth child.
�This place has changed my life,� she said.
Lueloff has regained custody of Neveah, is living on her own with her children, and beginning management training for McDonald�s. She said she�s bonding with her daughter, who used to consider caregivers her parents.
�Now,� Lueloff said, twirling her hands through her daughter�s black ponytail, �she�s calling me Mommy.�

'Scandal': The 12 Biggest Reveals From the Season's Sexiest Episode
Who's hooking up? Who got caught? Who got a punch to the face? The drama heats up as the season inches closer to its conclusion.
[Warning: This story contains spoilers from episode 315, "Mama Said Knock You Out," of ABC's Scandal.]
With five episodes remaining in its third season, the presidential re-election campaign heated up as the Grant family prepared for a high-profile interview following the most awkward reunion ever, and the personal and political drama heated up. Meanwhile, OPA diligently worked to bring down B613.
Here are the 12 biggest reveals from the episode.
PHOTOS: On-Set With the Gladiators: Inside the Fast-Paced World of ABC's 'Scandal'
1. Mellie and Fitz's son, Jerry, ran an anti-Grant Twitter account and politically sides with Gov. Reston.
2. Olivia catches Andrew and Mellie after a tryst. Also catching the duo in the act is the first lady's daughter, Karen.
3. Karen, who previously blamed her father for the crappy state of her parents' marriage, breaks the news to Fitz that Mellie is sleeping with "Uncle Andrew."
4. Fitz punches Andrew in the face, giving him a black eye before Olivia sends him out on the campaign trail with the "tennis injury" cover story.
5. Andrew has no fear of Olivia, who warned the vice presidential candidate to stay away from the first lady. "Glass houses, Olivia," Andrew tells her.

6. David is working with OPA to bring down B613. Also in on what the Gladiators are doing is Rowan. He tells his daughter, Olivia, that B613 has plants, spies and cameras everywhere and that his black-ops sources know OPA is trying to bring down the organization. He begs his daughter to stop investigating who is funding B613.
7. Quinn and Huck make out. Again. But this time, it's mutual -- at least until Quinn pushes him off of her. She shows him that she is the one in the driver's seat. He's doing everything he can to get her out of B613, including appealing to Olivia.
8. Knowing that something isn't right with Quinn's story about Huck, Charlie unexpectedly moves into Quinn's apartment.
9. Jake threatens Rowan to stay clear of Command, but Rowan has the last laugh when he hits Jake where it hurts: He's alone and has nothing outside of B613. It sets up a Command showdown between the duo after Jake thanks him and says, "When I decide to kill you, I need to do it all by myself."

You Are your Own Gym
The Bible of Bodyweight Exercises
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentI'm in pretty great shape, but some of these exercises are brutal (advanced variations). This is for people who are up for a challenge! I'm not sure beginners (couch potato level) would get much benefit, but if you are already doing a few pushups, there are lots of ideas to inspire you to go further. Some pretty surprising variations.
Loved the book so much i bought it and the CD. I am 47 years old, been at it 2 months now and getting leaner and more toned. Sensible, achievable and definitely tough enough for every level. Based on the best available science and non gimmicky nutrition, it is well worth the read
I love the workouts and they're not boring. I got the Android app too and it compliments the book very well because it has timers built in and saves your workout history. Even though the app does give you descriptions of the exercises, many of them have more details in the book. I might just end up buying the book.
Cover's every dimension of fitness for every level of performance. A great resource for health and fitness. Think of the thousands you'll save by not going to a gym...

Anticholinergics are used to dry up secretions in the lungs.
1. Pull open the dust cap and mouthpiece of the HandiHaler. 2. Remove one Spiriva capsule from its package immediately before use. Separate the blister strip. Peel back the foil to the STOP line. If any other capsules are exposed to air by mistake, throw them out. Do not save exposed capsules for later use. 3. Place the capsule in the center chamber. 4. Close mouthpiece firmly until you hear a click. 5. Keep the mouthpiece pointing up. Press the Green button once. This pierces the capsule and releases the medicine. 6. Breathe all the way out before placing your mouth on mouthpiece. 7. Keep your head upright. Close your lips tightly around the mouthpiece. Breathe in slowly and deeply, but strongly enough to make the capsule inside the HandiHaler vibrate. You will hear the vibrations. 8. Hold your breath for 10 seconds if possible. 9. Exhale and breathe normally again. 10. Repeat steps 6 thru 9 to be sure you get the full dose. 11. Open the mouthpiece. Tip the HandiHaler so the used capsule falls out and into the garbage. 12. Close the HandiHaler. Store it with your Spiriva capsules.How To Use Spiriva HandiHaler

Kentucky Derby Winner California Chrome Confirmed May 17 Preakness
Updated: Sunday, May 4 2014, 06:02 PM EDT
BALTIMORE-Kentucky Derby (G1) winner California Chrome is headed to the 139th running of the Preakness Stakes (G1) at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday, May 17, bringing trainer Art Sherman back to Maryland for the first time in 55 years.
Sherman confirmed his plans to run the Lucky Pulpit colt in the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown during a Sunday morning phone call with Maryland Jockey Club president Tom Chuckas and two other Preakness officials. Pimlico officials traditionally call the winner of the Kentucky Derby to extend a formal invitation to come to Baltimore.
"He came out of the race and looks really good," Sherman said.
Although he likes to give his horses plenty of time between races, Sherman said he expects that Steven Coburn and Perry Martin's homebred colt will be ready for the Preakness.
"Two weeks, I've never run him back that quick," Sherman said. "I'm not that kind of guy. I thought even a month after the Santa Anita Derby to the Kentucky Derby was kind of quick. but he seems to respond and come back."
California Chrome won the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby by 1 3/4 lengths with a very professional performance under veteran jockey Victor Espinoza. They sat behind the early pacesetters, Chitu and Uncle Sigh, for three quarters of a mile, moved up to contend for the lead in the second turn and kicked away from the others at the top of the stretch. It was his fifth consecutive victory.
Two Derby starters - runner-up Commanding Curve and seventh-place finisher Ride on Curlin - are candidates to face California Chrome again in the Preakness.
Trainer Wesley Ward said Pablo Del Monte is definitely on course to the Preakness and four other new shooters are considered probable. That group consists of Federico Tesio winner Kid Cruz, trained by Linda Rice; Illinois Derby (G3) winner Dynamic Impact, trained by Mark Casse; Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert's Bayern, who was disqualified and placed second for interference after finishing first in the Derby Trial (G3); and Social Inclusion, who was third in the Wood Memorial (G1) in his only try in a graded stakes.
Social Inclusion's owner Ron Sanchez said Sunday that the colt's foot bruise that kept him out of yesterday's Sir Bear Stakes at Gulfstream Park was improved and he is planning to ship to Baltimore on Thursday, May 8.
Trainer Graham Motion said Sunday West Point's Ring Weekend, winner of the Tampa Bay Derby (G3) is "50-50" for the race. Ring Weekend came down with a fever last week and did not make the Derby.
Trainer D. Wayne Lukas, who earned his sixth Preakness victory last year with Oxbow, is considering Strong Mandate. The son of Tiznow, who finished third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) last year, has not run since an eighth place finish in the Arkansas Derby (G1).
Trainer Todd Pletcher did not commit any of his four Kentucky Derby starters to the Preakness. Pletcher reported that he is "going to get them back to Belmont and give it a few days."
Pablo Del Monte earned a spot in the Derby field, but Ward opted not to start him from the outside post position and scratched. The speedy third-place finisher in the Blue Grass (G1) worked six furlongs in 1:10.80 at Keeneland Sunday and Ward said the colt is Baltimore-bound.
"We're so excited, we can't even stand ourselves," Ward said. "Yeah, I'm going. I've already booked the flight for my horse on the Wednesday before the Preakness."
Sent off at odds of 37-1, West Point Thoroughbreds' Commanding Curve rallied from 11th at the top of the stretch to finish second. It was the second year in a row that a long shot trained by Dallas Stewart picked up the second-place money. Last year, Stewart did not send Golden Soul to the Preakness, but he said Sunday that Commanding Curve is a prospect for Maryland's signature race.
"We will see how he is. If he is OK, he'll run; if he is not, he won't," Stewart said.
Trainer Billy Gowan noted that Ride on Curlin had a tough trip under jockey Calvin Borel. The first-time Derby trainer with a four-horse stable pointed to a small amount of feed that Ride On Curlin didn't eat overnight.
"That's pretty good after racing a mile and a quarter,'' Gowan said. "He looks good. It was just bad racing luck, bad post position. But he's one tough horse. You've got to be proud of him. When he did get clear, he did come running, so that's all you can ask, really.''
Gowan confirmed that Ride On Curlin is a strong candidate for the Preakness.
"We'll see,'' he said. "If he bounces out of these races like he has been, I'm going to the Preakness. We'll just see. He's tough, so I expect him to bounce out of it good. We'll definitely consider it.''
Dynamic Impact, a son of Tiznow owned by John Oxley, has won his last two starts. He broke his maiden on March 1 at Oaklawn Park and won the Illinois Derby on April 14 at Hawthorne Park in Chicago. Dynamic Impact breezed five furlongs in 1:00.20 at Churchill Downs on Saturday.
"I have to still talk with Mr. Oxley about it," trainer Mark Casse said Sunday. "We said we'd discuss it after the Derby, but we were really pleased with his work Saturday. I would say there is a more likely than not chance that we'd be going."
Sherman plans to keep California Chrome at Churchill Downs before sending him to Baltimore. Preakness officials are working with Sherman to develop a plan to ship California Chrome to Pimlico on Monday, May 12.
"Five days at Pimlico would be perfect for me," Sherman said. "That way I wouldn't have to do much with him. Just school him, stand him in the gate and let him get familiarized with the surroundings."
Sherman is based in California and said he has not been to Maryland since he rode at the old Bowie Race Course in 1959. Sherman said he rode a few races at Laurel during his 23-year career as a jockey, but has never been to Pimlico Race Course.
Though he set a record as the oldest Derby-winning trainer, Sherman, 77, is not in contention to claim that record in the Preakness: "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons was 82 when Bold Ruler won in 1957.
Surrounded by the throng of media Sunday, Sherman grinned as he reflected on California Chrome's Derby victory, the first by a California-bred horse since Decidedly in 1962.
"It's pretty cool, I can tell you," he said. "You wake up in the morning and say, 'Hey, wait a minute, I just won the Kentucky Derby.' It's a dream come true for me. I've been in the game for so long. It's one of those things that is very rare; I never had the big stable or the money people behind me, just mom and pop operations and people that were always good friends.
"I have a lot of partnerships in horses with different people, so it's a different ballgame for me. Beating all the big boys and maybe they had their doubts that this horse wasn't a runner - you hear, 'Oh, he didn't look good on the track' - but when you run against him you find out. He's the real McCoy, this one."
Alberto Delgado guided Forest Justice to victory in the Sunday opener at Pimlico. The 49-year-old, who finished second in the 1995 Preakness aboard Oliver's Twist, rode California Chrome to two victories last year. His brother, Willie, is the exercise rider for the Derby winner.
"I haven't talked to my brother yet," Delgado said. "It is bittersweet. We knew he was a good horse all along. When I broke his maiden (May 17, 2013), I told them he would win the Derby. That how nice he was. I am happy for the connections. They are really good people. I hope they win the Preakness and the Belmont and think they will."

Ryan Leslie - Dress You To Undress You
Artist: Ryan Leslie
Producer: Ryan Leslie
Album: Les Is More
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 9 votes )
Dressing someone to merely undress them later may seem a little unnecessary, but Harlem artist/producer Ryan Leslie makes it seem oh-so-vital in the visuals for his latest record release Dress You To Undress You. Serving as the fifth video single from Leslie, the music video for Undress hardly skimps on the extravagance. Shot in both Paris and Milan, the video is a whirlwind of fancy locales and features the uptown songster and his leading lady rocking the most designer of threads, which if the title of the song is any indication will eventually find themselves scattered on the floor. Leslie pulls double duty on the single, providing the track with both his velvety vocals and its sleek production. Look out for Dress You To Undress You on the singer's LES IS MORE visual album, set for release in stores and online on October 22.

Hi: 12° Lo:6°
A GRANDMOTHER of 19, from Northfield, has revealed the secrets behind reaching her 100th birthday.
Jennie Wood, who will be celebrating her centenary on Monday (August 18), has labelled determination, a mischievous sense of humour and a love of fruit as the key ingredients to a long and happy life.
For her birthday Jenny will be enjoying a party with her family and friends at The Beeches Residential Care Home where she has lived for four years.
Jennie, who was born in Aston, was the second eldest of ten siblings - she left school at 14 and went to work in a jam factory for several years before she met her husband Reggie and got married in 1935 and had three children David, Ken and Sheila.
When the war broke out Reggie was called to serve his country and spent five years fighting in the Middle East under General Montgomery.
Jennie said: "It was awful when the sirens went off.
"Little David was really scared and would scream.
"Reggie had built us a tin bomb shelter in the garden so we used to hurry down there."
Jennie added how she did not know when or if her husband would return but she recalled going to bed one night when Reggie suddenly made a very unexpected and welcomed appearance.
Sadly Reggie developed lung cancer and died in 1954, when Sheila was just three-years-old.
When asked her secret to reaching such a great age Jennie said: "I've always liked fruit and like to eat well.
"I've worked hard and have a lovely family and lovely brothers and sisters - I can't believe I have reached this big age with all that's happened."
Sheila said: "It was tough but we had some lovely times and couldn't have asked for a better mum.
"Her family was her life and she cared for us so much and always put us first."
Bryan O'Connor, the home's manager, said: "Jenny has a wonderful sense of
humour - she is always telling a joke and is a very funny lady.
"She is often telling you a story and then half-way through you realise she is pulling your leg."

The seams of the inner fabric shade and outer metal frame do not match up. The metal has marks (dents) in the metal from manufacturing. The shade seam came apart. It arrived with one of the light sockets disconnected and once we got it connected it is very loose. The screws that came with the item to mount it to the ceiling were too short so we needed to go to the hardware store to find screws that would be long enough. The diffuser is made from plastic which is a disappointment. The diffuser also had a sticky film on it to keep it from being scratched but it was really difficult to remove. After all that being said the light looks great up.
Beautiful chandelier. The color and design is great. When lit up the light reflects thru the design leaving a cutout etching of light reflection on your walls and ceiling.
I hung this light in my kitchen and it compliments the stainless appliances and faucet. I love the design and eventhough you can put 3-100 watt blubs in it I have 3-60 watt with a dimmer switch and it is very bright. Would definatley recommend.
I was quite pleased to find this light on Overstock. I needed a ceiling fixture that would put out a fair amount of light and many of them will only take 2-3 60 watt bulbs. Too dark for the kitchen. I'm certainly no mechanic or electrician, but it was pretty easy to install, although the shade was not dead centered on the bulbs. I was able to put some pressure on it without denting the metal screening and get it pretty well centered. I had no troubles at all with the diffuser, as someone else had mentioned. The paper tore some but was easy to get off as was the clear plastic on the other side. No sticking, no residue, no problems. I put in the 3 x 100 watt bulbs and it's a bit too bright, but I love having the ability to increase and decrease the output to the extent I can. It looks great. Very pleased.
Looks great. People love it and comment on it all the time.
I updated small bathroom I have with this light. It is so modern and I have had alot of compliments on it. Looking up inside of it you can see the light bulbs but oh well. It looks way better than what I had there before. I would buy it again and recommend it at this price.
came just as expected. Great light- adds a little pizazz to the standard drum shade light.
We purchased two of these light fixtures and couldn't be more happy with the look and quality.
I love this ceiling fixture. It was a great switch to modernize my living room. It is so pretty! I'm glad we switched to this fixture it is beautiful!

Apple's iPhone 6 to come with cheaper price in fall
23 June 2014 [12:50] -
Apple is set to release iPhone 6, its latest update to the iPhone juggernaut, in the fall. While iPhone 6 sales are expected to be huge for various reasons, there is a broader question facing Apple: Is it boxed in as a brand and a platform that merely serves the richest 15% of the world, while everyone else uses Android?
And if that is the case, can a mobile device that serves such a small minority of the planet stay relevant in the years to come? To put it in its bluntest terms, what is the point of launching the new Candy Crush Saga on a platform that hardly anyone — in a global sense — uses?
The question is not merely academic. In Q4 2013, according to research firm IDC, Google's Android mobile operating system had a 78% share of all users globally. Apple's iOS had just 18%. Now, IDC predicts that in 2014 Android will claim 80.2% of users and only 14.8% will be on Apple's iOS system. Mobile app revenue is growing faster on Android than Apple, also, according to Distimo. It's the same situation — Android growing faster — in mobile ads, according to Opera Mediaworks.
Apple is holding on to a sizeable chunk of the market. But Android is eating the rest. The quality of Android phones is getting better and better, IDC says, and that offers a long-term challenge to Apple.In IDC's forecast for 2018, note that Android actually loses market share and sinks to 77.6% of the market. But that occurs after Android adds about 404 million phones, while Apple adds only 63 million — and its share sinks to 13.7%. Apple doesn't gain share — it merely loses it to Microsoft's Windows, a humbling irony, at least in the IDC scenario.In IDC's forecast, the major growth geographies for phones are China and Asia. That's a problem for Apple because Android dominates China and Asia, according to Distimo. For a long time, that was because Apple's strategy in the East — low distribution and high pricing — was feeble. That may be about to change. Apple had a big launch in China with wireless carrier China Mobile in January.
Apple offers the old-model iPhone 4S in some developing countries as an entry-level phone.
Analysts are now expecting growth for Apple in China.Note that the average Android price is heading toward $200 and the average iPhone price is heading toward $600. Apple is asking the question, do you want to pay three times as much for our phones? Thus far, 80% of the market has answered "no."
Branding and quality are important, of course. Apple usually wins there. And Apple's business model is to only do the most profitable thing, not the most widespread thing. So loss of share may not bother Apple CEO Tim Cook. It may, in fact, be good for both margins and shareholders.
But the history of computing has one iron-cast lesson for us all: Devices get cheaper over time, and better over time. The high-priced seller usually loses. This is why nobody uses $8.8 million Cray computers anymore.

Looks like I am in too !
New to this thread so hello to everyone :-)
2006 I did 3:45:41 so I really want to knock those 41 seconds off.
But went to do Edinburgh this year and I am sure I set off too quick, did 8 minute miling for the first 10 miles then the heat got to me and I lost it big time.
I ended up walking and running the last 3 miles and got in at 4:06 so in a way have lost a little confidence.
But it was so so hot that day and I felt there were not enough water stations especially in the first stage.
I will be following Hal Higdons plan as found it so good in the past.

Thanks Veloc
OK, that gives me confidence I am reading the HH prog properly. It's also probably a good idea for me to do little speed work as that tends to be the time when I pick up niggles.
As I have known I would have a place this year for a long time I have been running a bit all summer, but not in a concerted fashion. Recently I've done a couple of LSDs for 75 mins or so, and a 10k last week which was quite a wake up call. This week I am doing 3 reasonable runs, with a 9 mile LSD planned for Sunday, then the HH starts properly ...(with a rest day on Monday!).
Am going to discipline myself to keep the LSDs v slow, especially in the early weeks.
Are you guys following a program yet? I know it's a bit early (most progs are 16-18 weeks) but I have some built in down weeks over the winter and there are bound to be problems along the way.

Hello, Crazy Lady. Welcome! You're in the privileged position of KNOWING that you can do it because you've done it before ... do you think you can build up to being able to do 8mm all the way at London? It's less hilly than Edinburgh, and likely to be cooler, and water supply on the course just isn't a problem.
Bruce, it sound as if you've made a great start already :o)
I decided that rather than trying to follow the Pfitzinger and Douglas 24-week programme, I'd do a mileage-building programme of my own until early December then pick up the 18-week schedules, adapting them a little to fit in with planned warm-up races and to reflect the fact that I do my three longest runs on weekdays and relatively little running on the weekends.
17-18 miler for me tonight after work. I am thoroughly looking forward to it despite a slightly twingy calf from doing a tempo session on Sunday wearing new racing shoes.

I've just had a rubbish long run and cut it short at around 15 miles. My legs weren't sore, and consciously I was enjoying the run (except when it pelted down with rain), but I struggled to go any faster than 10mm pace and I think my subconscious and my gammy Garmin were conspiring to tell me that there is no need whatsoever for me to do anything longer than 15 miles until mid-December and I should stop doing that made-of-tougher-protoplasm-than-everyone-else thing and ease back for a few weeks.

Definetlye ease back I agree it is much too early just yet and I am sure it will do your confindence no good at all.
I know us runners are stubborn though !
Has anyone got any races as yet for training ? I really wanted to do the Brass Monkey but it was over subscribed yet again in a matter of days .
Will be looking for a 20 miler nearer the time for a training run and maybe some halfs.

I am new to this thread so I will give you all a brief background.
Got into FLM which wil be my second marathon. Did Abingdon last month in 4h20 but training was far from optimised so I am sure I can get a good chunk off this time. Maybe sub 4. Probably more like 4:05.
For abingdon I followed Hal Higdons intermediate II which suited me very well. I liked uncomplicated nature of it. My problem was the final 6-7 weeks before the marathon I had too many life changes and training went out the window. I almost didnt even do Abingdon.I changed my mind at the last minute but was prepared to drop out if it did seem too much. Hence my confindence that a big chunk is due off!
I also see that lack of training lead to lack of training. While I was following the schedule to the letter I was confident I could complete. When things got difficult and I missed a few runs I lost faith that I could do it which compounded the not running.
You can never guarantee a distraction free life but I think i would be both easier and harder on myself this time. ie. if i have to move house again accept that training will go on hold for a few days and not worry about it but be vigilent about getting back to it as soon as possible.
This time it is Hal again!

I think I've got my warm-up races planned - Brass Monkey in January (treating it as a sort of interim target race, looking for sub-1.40), probably the Tamworth 10k in February because it's local, and a 20-miler on 18th March. Can't remember its name but it's in Lancashire.
Keeping my mileage in the low 40s for the next few weeks seems like a good plan. The fact that I can think of 40mpw as being relatively low mileage is in itself a big indication of the progress I've made, and if I do nothing more than a consistent 40mpw with a few 20-mile long runs between now and FLM I'll be better prepared than I ever have been for a marathon. But I'd like to do a little more than that.
No ill effects from yesterday's run :o) I'll pop out for a little recovery run in the sunshine later.

Vrap - chill! You're in fine form, you only just did a marathon in a stonking time. I would say feel dead chuffed with yourself that you can enjoy 15m at 10mm pace.
I'm just relaxing about my running right now - trying to get out 3 times a week to do a 6 miler, 4 miler and a 10 miler. And that's my lot until I hear about the club places mid December.
If I don't get an FLM place my current thinking is to build up to a 20miler like Thanet in March. I'm really tempted by Rhayader round the lakes, but it sounds a bit tough for a first timer at that distance. I'll also plan on doing another half, and maybe some nice 10ks or something. And move my marathon plans to Abingdon in the autumn.

Panic not Vrap. 40 mpw is more than plenty at this stage. I'm only at 29 and very happy with that.

Thanks, peeps :o) I shall relax a bit! Focusing on getting under 1.13.30 for a 10-miler in just over 4 weeks' time might be a good deterrent to trying to do long runs between now and then.
Rhayader sounds lovely, pidge :o) We were thinking about that one too, but I think we've pretty much decided to go for something a little less challenging. Another year!

Hullo to all the new 'uns.
Went out with the running club I joined for the first time last night. Been running for 3 years, and I've never ran in the evening before !? Strange. Great though to be running with others, instead of the slow plod I did with the neighbour with the dodgy knees for a long time. 6.4 miles, and it felt fast, but I was chuffed I felt comfy. Maybe 46 mins. Relax now until Saturdays Glen Clova Half. The forecast is grim, but they told me last night it's NEVER been cancelled yet, and it's been run in sleet, frost, high winds etc.Should be fun? The leggings will be in the car just in case.
HRR, thought you were at 27? Secretly added an extra 2 miles eh?!
Gymbo, how many press ups can you do?
Leg muscles feel like they've had a wee workout this morning from last nights run. Is there anything I should be doing to have them loose for Saturday, other than relaxing, drinking water,stretching, gorging on pasta, and quoting Burgess Meredith's character in Rocky to the wife every night..."Women weaken legs!" ?
I'm sure you ladies beat your other halfs off with a stick before a race too!

LS - good luck for the Glen Cova half. I am predicting a storming time for you!
Vrap - I'm secretly pencilling in Rhayader for 2008 now!! How sad is that for advanced planning. It's near to where my parents live, so would be a good excuse for a visit over there.
Also - welcome new folks. Struthie - sounds like you will knock spots off your Abingdon time.

I am really looking forward to seeing what time you do at Glen Clova, LS! Hope you have a great race :o) Just take it easy between now and then, and enjoy the pasta. I seem to recall that in Scotland, "pasta" means "macaroni cheese and chips". That'll insulate you nicely against the, er, climate.
CL, I will keep my ear to the ground for Brass Monkey places!
(If we're going to get competitive about press-ups, can I join in please?)

LS yes two miles added this week but maybe a couple of weeks with slightly reduced mileage coming up. Children in Need next week; a lot of rehearsal and long 12/13 hour days with a 3am finish Sat morning. Then off to Bruges for the weekend. I think I'll leave the running gear at home and concentrate on the carb loading.

LS - well at the moment I can only do 21 in one set but could prob do up to around 50 if I get to rest between sets of 10. That is PROPER pressups mind, none of those girly ones.
