Tips For Performing Cable Crosses The Correct Way
Building muscle is healthy for people of all ages. This article has been written to provide you with advice on engaging in workouts which help you to meet your goals quickly, while providing results which are tangible. Read on for more information.
You need to make sure you eat plenty of vegetables in order to maintain a healthy diet. Proteins, complex carbs and vegetables are all important for building muscle. Vegetables contain valuable nutrients that are not present in foods that are generally high in protein or carbohydrates. You can also get a good amount of fiber from them. Fiber can help the body use the protein more effectively.
The protein in meat is crucial to muscle growth. A good daily goal is to eat a gram of meat for each pound you weigh. Doing this will assist you in storing more protein. The greater amount of protein that you consume, the larger your muscles will get. Eventually, your muscles will achieve the size that you've been wanting.
In order to build muscles, remember that carbohydrates are very essential, as well. Carbohydrates fuel your body to allow it to perform the exercises that you need to do each day. If you are training extensively, you must be sure to consume about two to three grams of carbs for each pound of body weight, on a daily basis.
Eat well on the days you workout your muscles. Consume a large amount of nutritionally dense calories about one hour before starting your exercise regimen. Do not sabotage your efforts by binge-eating on your workout days. Instead, just increase your caloric intake more than your consumption on your off days.
When training, try to do as many sets and reps as possible. You should include a minimum of 15 lifts with breaks that are no longer than one minute. This stimulates the release of lactic acid, which is a key component in muscle growth. When you constantly do this as you workout you help maximize the amount of muscles you build.
Train opposing muscles when you are in the midst of a workout; try doing the chest and back together, or the hamstrings with quads. By doing this, one muscle can relax as another one works. This method is also more efficient and allows you to increase your intensity since your workout is shorter.
When the lifting gets tough, the tough cheat a little. If you need to finish a few extra reps in order to get the most out of your workout, don't use your entire body. Don't do this too much though. Control how quickly you complete each weight lifting cycle. Don't do an unreasonable number of reps in a short period of time. Do not compromise your form.
Scheduling your workouts is an important part of working to reach your goals. Individuals who are just starting out with building muscle should curtail their tough workout to just two times a week, while someone with more experience should workout roughly three times each week.
An effective bodybuilding workout routine should make you stronger. Being stronger means that you should slowly be able to increase the amount of weight you are lifting in each exercise. So, if you are a beginner, every couple of workouts should see you lifting approximately 5% more weight. If you aren't progressing at this rate, think about what you're doing wrong. If you sense you have not gained strength since your last workout, you may not have allowed yourself sufficient recovery time.
Do not workout more than three or four times each week. This allows your body to repair and regenerate itself between workouts. You could injure yourself and negative impact your goals by working out too often.
Don't set goals that are impossible to reach. Make sure your muscle building goals are reachable. Results won't be immediate, you need to meter them out over a significant period of time. Don't try to take shortcuts; stimulants, steroids and other unnatural muscle development methods can be hazardous to your health.
Examine your physique to see if there are any limitations you have. This gives you a starting point to establish your goals. In the course of this type of evaluation, composition and body weight are significant things to bear in mind.
When attempting to gain muscles, you should attempt to have a diet rich in fresh, whole foods. Avoid any pre-packaged or boxed foods since these often contain chemicals, fillers, and preservatives that will affect your immune system and muscles. Eating a healthy diet boosts your immune system and will increase the effectiveness of your exercise routine.
You need the right diet to get the best muscle-building results. Your body requires vitamins, minerals, proteins and carbohydrates to build your muscle to be stronger and larger. There have been studies done that show drinking protein shakes after a workout is beneficial for muscle fiber rebuilding.
While working out quickly may be tempting, stick to a slower pace. If you remain cautious and focused as you perform each repetition of your exercise program, then the results will come at a faster rate. Keep in mind that you might even need to reduce the weight that you are lifting for some exercises, in order to improve results. A good rule of thumb is to use 5-10 seconds to complete each half of a given movement, taking up to 20 seconds to complete each rep.
To optimize your protein intake, make sure you are eating between 20 and 30 grams of protein at each meal. By spreading out your protein intake, you get better results. For example, its easier to have six small meals containing 30 grams of protein each than to try to eat 180 protein grams in one meal.
Good fitness works for any age group and body building can work for you. Reading this article was the ideal starting point for you as you work to develop and improve your fitness routine in the hopes of increasing muscle mass.
What You Ought To Know About Chiropractic Care
To be happy, you must feel good. Back pain can cause a person lots of misery. It is essential to take great care of the back, or else you might want to consult with a chiropractor. Below, we will show you good tips that will help alleviate any back pain, so keep reading!
Focus on your sleeping position if you suffer from back pain issues. Put a pillow under your head and shoulders. Towels that are rolled can help support the curves of the body. Also, if your mattress is old, you may want to replace it.
Are you aware of the fact that chiropractic care can help make your body's immunity much better? If you spine is misaligned, your nervous system and immune system are compromised. Spinal alignment from a good chiropractor can increase blood flow to your body's nervous system. In turn the additional blood helps your body to fend off an infection.
Ask a chiropractor if there are frequency discounts in their office. Multiple chiropractic treatments are often needed to alleviate symptoms. It might be two or more times a week. This can get costly quick. You may be able to receive a discount from the doctor if you are undergoing multiple treatments.
If you are looking for a chiropractor, it would be a good idea to ask your primary care doctor for a suggestion on a good provider. This is a good idea even if an MD referral is not necessary for insurance purposes.
Make sure you make a wise decision when searching for a chiropractor. While most chiropractors will help you get some relief, others are not quite as trustworthy. It is a fact that some chiropractors can cause more harm to your body. Carefully research any chiropractor you are considering seeing.
Always take the time to research references for a chiropractor before stepping into their offices. The majority of chiropractors are genuinely concerned with your health. Some, however, may try and get more money out of you than you need to be paying. Always search online for reviews and references.
Do you have high blood pressure? Studies show that vertebrae manipulation is more effective than blood pressure medications. Nerve supply into your heart becomes free if there are manipulated vertebrae. In turn, blood pressure becomes regulated.
Don't hold your wallet within your pants' back pocket. Many men stick wallets in the back pockets of their pants without knowing it can harm their lower back. It can add pressure to the lower part of the back and also to the bladder and colon. To ease this pressure, the wallet should be kept in the front pocket.
Avoid chiropractors who intends to prescribe a regimen that includes supplements, homeopathic products and herbs to treat a disease. If these products are sold in their office, they might be frauds. Nutritionists and physicians are who you should talk to so you can get some advice about this.
Always go to a doctor first before going to a chiropractor. It is important for you to have a doctor assess the problem. This can help the chiropractor determine what course of action to take. You may find that you do not need a chiropractor at all. They might recommend something else.
Don't sleep directly on your stomach if you have back problems. This makes it so the spine isn't in a natural position. Instead, sleep with a pillow between your legs if you sleep on you side, or recline on your back and place a small pillow behind your knees. Also, roll up a towel to place under the neck. This allows your spine's three main curves to be protected.
It is not difficult to find a good chiropractor in this country. Chiropractic care represents the second largest health care profession. It also happens to be the fastest growing. There are more than 60,000 chiropractors in the US. Additionally, many more students are getting their education now.
Do not let a chiropractor snap your neck. There are two arteries threaded through the vertebrae of the neck. Usually this is okay, but a chiropractor suddenly turning and stretching your neck can tear the lining of these arteries. A clot could result in a stroke.
Before having a new chiropractor work on you, it is best to arrange a meeting first to get to know them. Seeing a good one can make a huge difference in your life. On the other hand, a bad chiropractor can make things worse. Get help from someone that you can trust. Be certain to have an initial meeting before scheduling treatment.
Before getting any spinal manipulation, a chiropractor needs to perform an MRI or full-body X-ray to rule out torn arteries, injuries, or fractured bones. This will help guarantee the best possible chiropractic treatment. If that doesn't happen at your first visit, refuse to continue further. Instead, find another chiropractor.
As you rise and shine early in the morning, you should allow your back to have some time to wake up. Stretch gently and get up slowly while you support your weight by your arms.
Don't sit or stand with your back hunched over for prolonged periods of time. It will strain both your back and spine, causing pain that is difficult to deal with. Be sure to take stretch breaks if you do need to stand or sit for a long time.
Don't hesitate to get help with heavy items if you have to lift them. Try asking a friend or getting a device to help you. You can secure an item to a dolly to transport it. Consider having a dolly around if you're consistently lifting heavy items.
When you are sitting, attempt to keep your knee level above your hip level. Being hunched over, or sitting too straight, isn't a good idea. Maintain your spine's natural curve. If your chair can spin and move about on wheels, you have more flexibility and opportunity for movement.
As you can see from the above article, there are many things you can do at home to help lessen back pain. While it does not replace medical care, stretching and exercise can do a lot to alleviate back pain. Get started now and feel better soon.
Stay In Shape With These Tricks And Tips
Before reading into this article, acknowledge the fact that keeping up your figure is often hard and rarely fun. That doesn't diminish the fact that staying fit is an important part of staying healthy. Luckily, it will become easier with time and eventually become second nature to those whom really care about their body. You only need put forth a minor amount of time and effort. You might even enjoy yourself.
Do you find it difficult to devote valuable time to exercise? Separate workouts into 2 sessions. All you need to do is divide your time in half; expanding the total time you spend working out isn't necessary. Run during the morning and evening for 30 minutes, rather than running for a one full hour. You can do two different types of workouts if you want, which will help to keep things fresh.
In order to avoid hitting the fitness center twice in the same day, you might try getting one workout in at the fitness center and then doing another one elsewhere.
Walking with good posture and technique is important to make sure you don't injure yourself. Try walking upright while your shoulders are drawn back. A ninety-degree angle is ideal for your elbows. ideally the arms should be the direct opposite of your foot. When stepping, the heel ought to strike the ground before the remainder of the foot proceeds in a forward motion.
Exercise when watching television so you always have weight loss momentum. When there's a commercial, you can walk in place or do push ups. Weight training is easy to do while watching television on the couch. Find any way that you can to keep moving while doing what usually is a sedentary activity.
Treadmills are something many people enjoy but running outside is actually better for you. Treadmills may be easier to use, but it is beneficial to run on actual pavement.
When doing any exercise that you need to keep a count of, begin with the target number and count backwards from there. This will allow you to keep track of the number that you are on and also provide more motivation.
Have better running stride speed if you want to participate in a sprint. You may try to run faster by stretching out your front leg when you run. However, when your front foot lands it should be in line with your torso. Use the toes on your back leg to push yourself forward. By doing this constantly, you can steadily increase your running speed.
Try doing real sit-ups along with your crunches when you work out. The negative things that are said about sit-ups have led many people to believe they have no use. Don't anchor your feet to a piece of furniture when you do sit-ups. This variation can hurt your back.
Count your reps down. Rather than counting to the amount of reps you desire, count backwards. Counting down will help you focus on how few you have left and make the work feel easier. Knowing immediately how many reps you have left is a better motivator than counting up.
Consider breaking your run into a few different parts. When you begin your run, start off slow, working up to your normal pace. On the last leg of your run, increase your pace to faster than normal. If you do this, you will increase your level of endurance, and you can continue for longer stretches every time you go running.
Make sure that you balance your back and front when working out. You're going to hurt your back if you're only working out your front. Ideally, you should work on both those areas every time you work out. It's a good way to make sure pain doesn't get in the way of your exercise.
If it is feasible to do so, make an effort to get physical exercise in an outside environment. You could go for walks or runs outside or exercise in your backyard. These things not only offer excellent workouts, they also help you renew yourself. Simply being outside can relieve stress and clear your head.
If you're going to start doing weight lifting, come up with concrete goals first. To build muscle mass, lift heavier weights. Arm sculpting and toning will require additional repetitions with lower amounts of weight.
You can use a belt with weights in it when you are lifting heavy weights. Constant use of a weight belt can be harmful, in the long run. Muscle groups like the abdominals and lower back may actually be weakened by a belt, making them far more susceptible to injury.
As a complement to your workout routine, try using dumbbells as well as the bench. If you want to do this type of exercise, make sure to choose a high-quality bench. If you feel that your back hits the wood in the bench, this is a sign that you have to get a different bench. These benches can cause bruising or weaken your spine.
Exercise daily. This helps to ensure that all your hard work is not being wasted. This will allow exercising to become more of a habit as well. Fitness exercises should be done daily; however, your body does need rest. On your resting days, try doing light exercises such as swimming or walking.
Do you want to exercise more and look better? Pick up a jump rope! Skipping rope is a simple way to squeeze a workout into your busy schedule, and it can be done virtually anywhere. You can burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time by jump roping on a regular basis. This means that jumping rope for 10 minutes can give you the same benefits as a typical 30 minute workout!
So, in short, exercise is not always fun and easy, but it can be if you approach it with the right attitude each and every day. Nobody is able to take on fitness without learning how to properly do it first. All you have to do is find the help and decide for yourself that you want to be fit.
Knowledge Is Key When Fighting Against Back Discomfort
Back discomfort can cause a variety of different symptoms for each person. It can be so different to the point where, while one person is feeling a sharp, stabbing ache; the other is only experiences a light cramp or stiffness in the back. While no back discomfort is fun, here are some tips to use to help ease the back discomfort that you feel.
To prevent back discomfort, locate a mattress with the right amount of firmness. As a general rule, softer mattresses cause more back pain than they help relieve. If your mattress is too firm, your muscles will get tense while you sleep. Make sure to shop around and try a lot of different mattresses to find the right one for you.
The right workout routine can help you rehab and reduce back injuries and their resulting pain. The flexibility that you can gain from yoga can help prevent muscle strain for example. Weightlifting that targets core muscles is all beneficial. If you build up these muscles, your back will better be able to sustain the demands of heavy lifting.
One way to lessen the pain of a backache is to lay in a position where your knees and hips are approximately at 90 degree angles to each other. This will lessen the stress and pressure on your back as compared to most sitting positions. But, you may have a position that is more comfortable, which is fine as long as it is not putting your spine out of alignment.
Try to drink about 62 ounces of water per day with your healthy diet. Preventing back pain is just one thing a healthy diet can help you with. This not only helps you have a skinnier body, which can decrease a lot of back pressure, but a healthy diet provides you with essential fluids and nutrients, which help prevent back discomfort better.
Protect your back during the day by walking around on breaks. Getting up to stretch and move your body will reduce the effects of compression on your spine and ease muscle cramping.
You may need to lose some weight if you're carrying any extra. When you carry extra weight, especially around your stomach, it can alter the center of gravity. That puts a strain on your lower back, and as time passes can result in chronic lower back pain.
Two third of the adult population suffers from back pain at some point. Most people attribute their back pain to an experience that occurs right before the back discomfort starts. Quite often, only the latest in a sequence of events contribute to back pain.
You may consider seeing a chiropractor for a consultation and adjustment if home remedies to relieve your back pain have so far been unsuccessful. The chiropractor will take x-rays, and you can then discuss how to go about treating it. By making minor adjustments, you will see your pain subsiding.
Try alternating cold and then hot packs to relieve back discomfort. Ice relieves pain and reduces inflammation. The use of heat increases blood flow, relaxing your muscles and speeding up the healing process. To add the warmth, choose a warm bath, heating pad or electric blanket, and make certain you don't fall asleep using the methods suggested.
Avoid triggers for back pain and remain pain-free. Triggers can include missing sleep, ingesting caffeine, and dehydration. If you do suffer a spasm, heat the affected area as quickly as possible, and avoid straining your back to prevent the problem from getting worse.
Be mindful of your posture throughout the day and night. Keep the back straight, feet on the floor, and elbows at the sides. See to it that you're not looking down and that you are not craning your neck when staring at your computer screen.
Riding in a car can cause back pain since we're constantly in a car daily. See to it that you adjust your seat the right way so that you can easily access the pedal and wheel without stretching. This is in order to lessen the strain in your back when driving your car.
Any sort of relaxation exercise can help with back pain. Even breathing exercises that take only minutes a day can have a significant positive effect. If you suffer from back pain, try a breathing technique. They might be able to ease your suffering.
If you frequently experience the discomfort and limitations of back pain, it is important to stretch the muscles around the back as well as the upper leg muscles. Because your back muscles account for a large proportion of your body, back pain and injuries make it feel as if your entire body is aching. Make sure all the muscles in that area get stretched.
Add a vitamin B12 to your diet. It has been shown that vitamin B12 deficiencies can, for some individuals, lead to back discomfort. To rid yourself of back discomfort, eat vegetables and other foods that contain high amounts of vitamin B12. Before starting B12 supplements, get your B12 levels measured by your doctor.
Although there are lots of symptoms of back pain, it doesn't mean that there are symptoms that are less painful than others. Pain in the mid and lower back can ruin entire days or weeks in a casual sense. On a more serious note, it's been known to immobilize patients and put entire lives in despair. Use the tips and advice in this article you have read to help you deal with your back discomfort and live a better life.
Fantastic Tips About Bodybuilding That Are Simple To Understand
Building muscle is often done for fun, as a sport, or out of necessity. There is information in this article will help you build the muscles of your dreams. Search for information on this in the following text.
Always take in enough vegetables. Discussions about good diets for weight training tend to obsess over complex carbohydrates and proteins; vegetables are largely ignored. But, vegetables offer important nutrients often not found in those other foods. They are also good places to get fiber. Your body uses fiber to process protein more efficiently.
Three exercises you should do on a regular basis are bench presses, squats, and dead lifts. These three exercises are considered the cornerstone of a good bodybuilding regimen, and for good reason. These exercises build strength, while increasing bulk and overall conditioning. Try to work these crucial exercises into your workout routine.
Learn as much as possible about selecting the best routines for building muscle mass. Each set of muscles can be exercised differently, so don't assume that one size fits all. Make sure you use the correct exercise techniques to build muscle for specific muscle groups.
Motivate yourself by setting goals that are short-term, and then rewarding yourself once you attain them. Motivation is key to getting muscles, since it can be a long process. Try setting up rewards that can assist you in your quest of gaining muscle. For instance, reward yourself with a massage, it can improve blood flow and help your recovery.
Try to use caution when using creatine. Those with kidney problems should not take creatine at all. In addition, they have been known to cause muscle compartment syndrome, heart arrhythmia, and muscle cramps. These risks are especially dangerous in adolescents. If you take this supplement, take it in the recommended safe quantities.
If you're planning to engage in extreme cardiovascular exercise, leave your weight training on hold for a while. While doing cardio is great for fitness, too much of it may negate your attempts to build muscle through strength training. When you are trying to build up your muscle mass, concentrate more on your strength exercises and a little less on conditioning.
You must ingest quite a bit of protein in order to build up muscle. A wonderful way to get protein is by consuming protein supplements and shakes. These are really important after working out and before sleeping. If you are looking to shed pounds while you are trying to gain muscle, consume around one per day. If you are looking to build both mass and muscle, drink up to three per day.
You need to consume carbohydrates, if you hope to build your muscles. Carbs are the element that gives your muscles the energy necessary to perform each day and recover for the next. If you plan on training extensively, consume two to three grams of carbohydrates for every pound of your body weight, each day.
After working out it is important to stretch well if you want the muscles to repair and build themselves well. Someone under the age of forty should stretch for at least 30 seconds. If you are a little older, try to keep your stretch for about a minute total. This will lessen the chances of your body getting injured while doing weight training exercises.
Bodybuilding isn't always about getting ripped. Lots of different muscle development regimens are available, and it is important to select the right type for you before you start. You may want to take a supplement if you are wanting to increase your muscle size.
Drinking enough water is critical to building muscle. If you are not keeping yourself well hydrated with water, there is a good chance that you would injure your muscles or yourself. Also, hydration is vital to boosting and keeping muscle mass, so it's crucial that you drink enough water.
It's OK to cheat every now and then to get all you can out of your workouts. If you use more of your body to get a few extra reps into your workout then you are increasing the output of your workout. You don't want to cheat a lot, though. Make sure that your rep speed is controlled. Maintain your form throughout as well.
One way to get around limiting muscles is to pre-exhuast them prior to working other muscle groups. An example is perhaps, biceps that fatigue well before your lats during rowing. You can correct this by doing isolation-type exercises, like straight arm pull-downs that won't overly-stress the biceps. If your lats are pre-exhausted, your biceps won't be limiting you when you go to do your rows.
Some exercises should not be performed with heavy weights. Excess weight during neck exercises, dips, or split squats could put your joints at risk of serious injury. More weight should be reserved for bigger exercises such as rows, presses, dead lifts and squats.
Improve your bicep curl to increase results. During a normal bicep curl, you aren't receiving a lot of help from the top part of the rep because you aren't moving the dumbbell or bar past the point where it is parallel. This upper portion is the most powerful and effective part of bicep curls. Seated barbell curls will ensure that you fix this problem.
When you are working out to increase muscle mass, try to keep your diet full of fresh, whole foods. Avoid foods that are loaded with chemicals, dyes and fillers; these substances may compromise your immunity. Healthy foods improve the strength and endurance of both your body and your immune system.
Mix up your grip to build back muscles. Use either a staged or mixed grip when doing deadlifts and rack pulls, as this will help you become stronger. This sort of grip assists you in twisting the bar in one direction, so your underhand grip starts twisting the bar in the opposite direction. This will help to stop bars from rolling over your hands.
Hopefully, you have found new and useful information that can be applied to your weight lifting and muscle building routine. Re-read the tips you think will help your workout, and do all you can to incorporate them into your routine.

On December 19, the CFPB and attorneys general for 49 states and the District of Columbia, and a nonbank mortgage servicer, filed a proposed consent order in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, pursuant to which the servicer will be required to provide $2 billion in principal reduction to certain borrowers and refund $125 million to nearly 185,000 borrowers who were foreclosed upon.
The agreement is modeled on the 2012 national mortgage servicing settlement between five banks and federal and state authorities, and it is the first such agreement with a nonbank mortgage servicer. The proposed order would resolve allegations that the servicer, and two other servicers it acquired in recent years, engaged in unfair and deceptive acts and practices in the servicing of residential mortgages and foreclosure processing in violation of state consumer protection laws and the Consumer Financial Protection Act. Those allegations are detailed in a complaint filed by the CFPB and states on the same day.
Along with the monetary settlement, the agreement requires the servicer to implement numerous servicing policy changes, which incorporate the standards established in the national servicing settlement and add requirements related to transferred loans. The servicing requirements included in the settlement are in addition to new servicing standards the CFPB finalized earlier this year, which take effect on January 10, 2014. Compliance with the agreement will be overseen by the monitor of the national settlement. The agreement does not include releases for any potential claims of criminal liability and does not prohibit private actions.

Video technologies that enable business users to collaborate remotely are one of the "top trends in telecom" and will continue to see robust market penetration, according to an Infonetics analyst. Infonetics predicts that by 2015, companies will spend $5 billion on videoconferencing solutions, more than double the $2.2 billion spent last year. The growth will be driven largely by demand for immersive telepresence solutions, which give users the feeling they are present at a remote location.

Direct response TV ad buyers have great things to say about Google TV, but the company faces several obstacles to the success of its last remaining traditional media operation.
The upcoming switch to digital TV may bode well for the survival of Google's TV Ads program, despite recent closures of its print and radio businesses. However, as with the failed print and radio experiments, the firm has yet to deliver on the key promise it's made to its TV partners: to usher in a new crop of advertisers. Direct response TV ad buyers have great things to say about Google TV, but the company faces several obstacles to the success of its last remaining traditional media operation.
Google will not reveal details on what types of advertisers are adopting its system; however, all signs point to DRTV media buying agencies comprising the bulk of those clients. Although a lot of direct response TV advertisers also run search campaigns, this is a far cry from the promise of small contractors or Realtors flocking to place television spots through Google's Web platform.
Even media buyers who are thrilled with Google's efficient, data-centric platform don't expect the do-it-yourself ad model that drives the search ad business to propel small search advertisers toward television. "You need a professional," said one media agency exec who asked to remain anonymous. Not only do small business owners have little time -- or even desire -- to learn about TV advertising or create an ad, he argued that novice advertisers don't realize they may not see a positive result from a TV ad trial right away, prompting them to get frustrated and give up.
Google last month officially launched a free ad creation tool through a relationship with SpotMixer, potentially opening the door to advertisers without pre-existing TV spots. The firm also pairs advertisers with ad production services. Yet, even Google admits the notion of creating and buying television ads is far more daunting to many smaller advertisers than building text ads for search campaigns.
Recognizing some small businesses just won't want to make the effort to run television ads in the down economy, a Google spokesperson said, "It will always be a barrier for any sort of advertising efforts...but the point is well taken and I think we understand that."
Google's search product has always appealed more to advertisers with direct response oriented goals, so it comes as no surprise that direct response TV advertisers have gravitated to its television buying platform. But Google wants to attract brand advertisers -- typically a natural fit for TV -- to its TV product. The company touts its brand TV advertisers including Allstate, Lenovo, and Johnson & Johnson.
Unlike brand advertisers which are typically concerned with the quality of programming or content their ads are adjacent to, many direct response TV buyers consider media to be a commodity. Their goal is to drive ROI in the most cost-effective manner, and they rely on measurement data and campaign optimization to do it.
"I feel that media is a commodity and we trade it just like a commodity. And it is driven by supply and demand," said Lynn Fantom, CEO of Interpublic's ID Media, a DRTV media buying agency that has been using Google's TV platform since its early days in June 2007.
Google's data-centric TV offering has fans in the DRTV sector. So it's fitting that the company has added reporting capabilities such as time-shifted viewership reports showing when ads were watched during recorded programs. Google told ClickZ News it intends to introduce hourly ad performance reports, showing how well ads perform during different times of the day or night.
"We're always optimizing," said another DRTV media agency exec who uses Google's platform every week. "It's just that the Google TV platform gives us a whole lot more data than we can typically get from other networks."
At this point the system offers inventory from EchoStar's DISH satellite network, along with ad slots in NBC Universal cable networks including Sleuth and Chiller, and on Bloomberg and the Hallmark Channel. The company promises to introduce inventory in other NBC networks in the future, across all dayparts, including primetime. Google said its network reaches up to 54 million households.
"We think that there's a real value in the long tail and torso inventory that is out there," said the Google spokesperson, who defined long tail and torso inventory as "more niche" and "not as mainstream."
Though some direct response advertisers seem less concerned about the time of day their ads run, many advertisers or agencies -- particularly brand advertisers -- aren't willing to place their ads against non-premium overnight programming. Some contend the quality of Google's TV ad inventory is lacking, which is a problem that may have crippled its radio ad program. One DRTV advertiser who was displeased with Google TV after running a test campaign through the system recently wondered why a network would want to make premium inventory available through Google.
Another TV ad exec who also spoke on condition of anonymity concurred, stating, "The fact is that the sellers don't want this to extend into things that are valuable."
The company is also losing out on local media buys. Currently, Google has no way of targeting TV ads to specific localities. DRTV buyers that use Google for national campaigns often run regional and local campaigns on behalf of ad clients, too; yet, Google is missing out on those local budgets. A lack of geo-targeting capabilities is also a deterrent for local and regional search advertisers Google would like to try the TV product.
Keith Cohn, partner, at integrated marketing firm C&M Marketing and Communications, is a frequent user of Google's TV program for his DRTV clients, but can't use the system for a client that only advertises in certain markets where it has affiliates. Google has said it plans to work with NBC to enable the system for local market use.
Those familiar with the TV system point to another downfall that also plagued Google's radio offering. "There is an inherent weakness in that you cannot develop a strong reach and frequency strategy," said a DRTV exec. He lamented the fact that, because advertisers can always be outbid before their ads run, the system cannot predict how often an ad will be shown in a given time period, or how many viewers it will reach. This sort of information, and guaranteed placements, are available to advertisers buying through traditional processes.
The program also may be up against similar systems aiming to make TV buying more efficient via digital platforms. StandBuyMedia, a radio and TV-buying system from Media Commerce Systems, allows buyers to make offers to multiple networks in an efficient manner. More than one DRTV buyer ClickZ News spoke with for this story has been in contact recently with Media Commerce Systems or similar firms.
Many regular Google TV ad buyers have a positive view of the system and the service Google provides to its TV advertisers; yet even they are not entirely confident that the operation will survive, especially after seeing the print and radio programs die.
Google's radio ad execs "were 100 percent caught off guard" by the company's decision to shutter the program, said one DRTV buyer who also used Google Audio Ads.
Another observer suggested the TV product won't take off until it enables more refined targeting and ad message customization. "I really don't think that their system has enough value-add until addressability gets introduced."
UPDATE: Google originally told ClickZ its network reaches up to 127 million households, but after this story published, revised the number to up to 54 million households. Also, the story originally noted that the Google spokesperson recognized some small businesses won't want to make the effort to run TV ads. In clarification, the story has been altered to reflect the spokesperson was referring to all types of television ads during the down economy.

|College Basketball: Eastern Kentucky at Duke Preview & Picks
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Sunday, 25 November 2007 02:49
Returning Home
Kyle Singler has had little trouble adjusting to college basketball.
Coming off a stellar performance in Maui, Duke's star freshman leads the 13th-ranked Blue Devils as they return home to face Eastern Kentucky on Sunday.
Oddsmakers from Bodog have made Duke -31 point spread favorites (View College Basketball odds) for today's game (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 67% of bets for this game have been placed on Duke -31 (View College Basketball bet percentages).
Singler, a 6-foot-8 forward, overcame a leg injury to score 25 points, grab seven rebounds and sink the clinching free throws with 13 seconds to play in the Blue Devils' 77-73 win over No. 11 Marquette on Wednesday in the championship game of the Maui Invitational.
The win gave Duke (5-0) its fourth Maui title and Singler the tournament's MVP honors.
"I felt honored to win the MVP, but the main goal coming to Maui was to win the championship and that's what we accomplished,'' said Singler, who averaged 18.0 points and 6.7 rebounds in three tournament games. "I just wanted to do what I had to do and it meant I got the MVP.''
Singler, a McDonald's All-American from Oregon, is off to a strong start to his college career, averaging a team-leading 15.8 points and 6.6 rebounds. He's also shown tremendous poise, especially against Marquette as he went 8-for-8 from the free-throw line.
"He's got real good talent and he plays every second, so that makes him extremely good," said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose team also beat Princeton and Illinois on its way to the tournament title.
Singler has helped Duke jump out to a hot start after it finished 22-11 and lost to Virginia Commonwealth in the first round of the NCAA tournament last season. The Maui title could help fuel the Blue Devils to further success this season.
"We talked about that since the beginning of the year. It was our first chance to be a champion," said Duke guard DeMarcus Nelson, won scored 16 points and had seven rebounds versus Marquette. "At this time last year we didn't do that. We've improved and gotten better.''
Duke's schedule should get a little more challenging after Sunday, with a home game against Wisconsin on Tuesday and a trip on Dec. 1 to Charlotte to face Davidson, which went 29-5 last season and lost to Maryland in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.
The Blue Devils look to extend their home winning streak against non-conference opponents to 54 games as they face Eastern Kentucky (2-2) for the first time. Duke lost 83-82 to St. John's on Feb. 26, 2000 for its most recent loss to a non-conference team at Cameron Indoor Arena.
Eastern Kentucky, meanwhile, looks to avoid a third straight road loss and overall after a 64-50 defeat to Alabama-Birmingham on Wednesday. Darnell Dialls scored 15 points and was the only player in double figures for Colonels.
Despite returning three players from last season's team that won the Ohio Valley tournament and lost to North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA tournament, Eastern Kentucky is averaging just 60.0 points through three games.
The Colonels have lost their last 10 games against ranked opponents.

Flexible Water Tank?
On my '98 35 ft Beneteau the PO put in a bow thruster which I love when I am docking. But it was installed in what had been the forward water tank. Now we are down to 50% of original fresh water storage and the boat rides light in the bow. The orignal deck fitting for the forward water tank is still there. Likewise the filler hose and overflow which have been cut off about 2 ft below deck and sealed with wooden plugs and glue. The original fresh water supply from the forward tank to the manifold is still there also, but sealed.
Question #1: would it be advisable to install a flexible water tank of some sort in the 1ft X 1.5ft X 5ft empty cavity remaining aft of the thruster tunnel and reconnect it to the original hoses?
Question #2: if yes, what make/brand/type of flexible tank would be best for this application, and what precautions should be taken?
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Tarleton InterGreek Council Recruitment Booklet
This booklet offers students an inside look into the chapters that make up InterGreek Council and how to join.
InterGreek Council Tarleton State University 1 2 Top 10 Reasons to Be Greek! 1 Academics 2 Leadership 3 Philanthropy 4 Friendship 5 Diversity 6 Greek Week 7 Intramurals 8 Homecoming 9 Mixers 10 Chapter Events Some of the activities TSU Greeks are involved in: Greek Week Homecoming Intramurals Student Government Association- SGA Texan Transition Mentors Texan Reps Honors Organizations Tarleton Alternative Transportation- TAT Student Wide Activities Team- SWAT Round-Up Tarleton Serves Supplemental Instruction Leaders Resident Leaders Campus Employment TSU Honors Program 3 Reserve Officer Training Corps. (ROTC) Academics The Greek Community supports the value of a college education and places academics as one of the highest priorities for its members. Organizations provide opportunities to earn awards and recognition for academic success. Support and help are always forthcoming through study hours, tutor groups and several informal programs. In addition, IGC expects each chapter to maintain an acceptable overall grade point average. Leadership & Involvement One of the many reasons potential members decide to go Greek is the leadership opportunities that the Greek system provides. Nowadays, it takes more than just a college degree to be successful and becoming a proactive member in a Greek chapter is one of best ways you can discover and develop your leadership skills. Fraternities are self-governing, allowing for many leadership opportunities within the chapter ranging from secretary to president to campus involvement coordinator. Tarleton State Greek members participate in various student organizations outside their fraternity or sorority. Greek leadership is present in organizations like the Student Wide Activities Committee (SWAT), Student Government Association (SGA), Texan Transition Mentors (TTM), Tarleton Alternative Transportation (TAT), Supplemental Instruction, and a variety of other organizations and service groups. 4 IGC Information The purpose of the InterGreek Council is to promote and foster the general welfare of the Greek Community and the University and to ensure a greater level of cooperation, communication, and achievement for the Greek Community. The council also serves as the official voice of Cultural Professional and Local Organizations at TSU and acts on behalf of the system when needed. IGC plans and implements recruitment and other all Greek events for the campus. IGC's goal is to better Greek life at Tarleton State University. InterGreek Council Philanthrop 5 Service One of the most gratifying aspects of being Greek is the sense of satisfaction and pride that comes with involvement in philanthropy and community service. The Greek community organizes fundraising events and hands-on service activities each year. Such projects help build moral character through the realization of the needs of people less fortunate and encourage members to give back to the community. Each year, individual chapters participate in service projects ranging from working with Adopt-a-Highway, Pantry and More food bank, Foster Homes, local nursing homes, Tarleton Serves, Tarleton Round-up and many more. Friendship You will notice that no two organizations are made up of members who are all alike. Each chapter has its own sense of diversity and individuality. However, you will notice a common bond among the members of each chapter that is unique and very private. When you become part of a chapter you are not just meeting new friends, you are becoming a part of a family. You will enjoy the benefits of friendship that will grow stronger through the years and last a lifetime. Friendship means the joining of individuals in love and friendship, while striving for similar goals. Being part of a chapter is something that cannot compare to anything else. To know of its existence is one thing, but to experience it is another. Strive for leadership and be a part of the TSU Greek community. Philanthrop Service 6 Statement on Hazing Tarleton State University and the Tarleton State Interfraternity Philanthrop Council have a zero tolerance policy on hazing. "Hazing" means any intentional or reckless act occurring on or off the campus of an educational institution, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of that student for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, affiliating with, holding office in, or maintaining membership in any organization whose members are students at an educational institution. "Hazing" includes, but is not limited to, any type of physical brutality or physical activity that subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or that adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student (i.e. sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, calisthenics); activities involving consumption of a food, liquid, alcoholic beverage, liquor, drug or other substance that subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or that adversely effects the mental or physical health or safety of the student; activities that intimidate or threaten the student with ostracism; activities that subject the student to extreme mental stress, shame or humiliation or that adversely effects the mental health or dignity of the student. 7 Sigma Alpha Founded: Ohio State University, 1978 Tarleton Charter: Alpha Zeta Colors: Emerald and Maize National Philanthropy: Agriculture in the Classroom, Heifer International Flower: Yellow Chrysanthemum Symbols: Emerald and Baby Bull 8 Zeta Phi Beta Founded: Howard University, 1920 Tarleton Charter: Sigma Omicron Colors: Royal Blue and White National Philanthropy: Z-H.O.P.E., Stork's Nest, National Educational Foundation Flower: White Rose Symbol: White Dove 9 Lambda Theta Sigma Founded: Tarleton State University, 2005 Tarleton Charter: Alpha Colors: Purple and Teal Symbol: Peacock Motto: Diversity, Dedication, and a REAL Difference. 10 Alpha Phi Omega Founded: LaFayette College, 1925 Tarleton Charter: Xi Omicron Colors: Royal Blue and Old Glory Gold National Philanthropy: Boy Scouts of America Flower: Forget-Me-Not Symbol: Golden Eagle and Sturdy Oak 11 Kappa Delta Chi Founded: Texas Tech, 1987 ASU Charter: Nu Colors: Pink and Maroon National Philanthropy: American Cancer Society Flower: Pink Rose Symbol: Penguin 12 Recruitment Information To be eligible to join a chapter prospective members must: Be a fulltime TSU student with a minimum high school or college GPA of 2.25 Complete the online registration form found on Orgsync The Recruitment fee must be paid by Tuesday, September 15th. o Check or cash are accepted o Checks and cash must be brought to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life o Checks should be made out to the InterGreek Council Attend the formal recruitment rotations on September 15th, 20014 at 5:30 pm in the Thompson Student Center Ballrooms.
