Reina set to join BayernComment on this story
Munich – Bayern Munich is set to sign Spain goalkeeper Pepe Reina on a three-year deal.
Bayern said Reina will sign a contract with the Bundesliga champions on Friday - joining as a backup to first-choice keeper Manuel Neuer, who is also Germany's No. 1. He passed a medical on Thursday evening.
The 31-year-old Reina spent last season on loan from Liverpool to Napoli. Reina, who joined Liverpool from Villarreal in 2005, had fallen out of favor with manager Brendan Rodgers and lost his place to Simon Mignolet.
Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said Bayern coach Pep Guardiola wanted a keeper who can play similarly to Neuer. – Sapa-AP

This book has a specific goal: help you get rid of the negative effects of pressure.
I didn't end up caring much about pressure after this book, though. It was the first book that truly convinced me to be an optimist since my fall into pessimism a few years ago.
The book is broken into thirds:
Part One shows exactly how detrimental pressure is in our lives. The authors dispel cultural myths about "clutch" players and pressure actually increasing performance. Pressure (with important differences from stress) never increases performance. These athletes and executives that seem to perform better under pressure are actually just better at mitigating the negative effects of pressure and performing at their natural abilities.
Part One was interesting at points but ultimately boring.
Part Two provides 22 specific ways for you to relieve pressure in certain situations. You've already heard of many of these ideas (focus on the present, listen to music, squeeze a ball, visualize success) but they are all solid reminders. This reads mostly as an extended blog post.
Part Two is worth making a list of to refer to at pressure moments, but felt like a waste when I wasn't skimming.
Part Three is where it's at. Honestly, you could do well by just reading this last section. They outline their strategy for dealing with pressure long-term and it just so happens to be the best four-pillar strategy I've come across for dealing with life in general as well.
They prescribe a "COTE" of armor. That is: Confidence, Optimism, Tenacity, and Enthusiasm. At first glance, this is offensively basic. The authors make important distinctions and use data to get into each of these at a level of nuance I haven't seen before.
Like I said at the beginning of this, no book has persuaded me of the benefits of optimism until I read this. Same with confidence. They don't use these words in the same way that others do. Optimism and confidence to not have to equate to stupid and brutish.
If you're already a confident optimist excited to never quit then this book isn't for you.
If you are, like me, someone who has avoided these qualities out of over-thinking and a need to be "correct"… then I'd recommend you pick this up and at least skim the relevant section.

The quiet north London enclave of Highgate Village is swarming with zombies. As the novelist Naomi Alderman and I walk towards the cemetery where Karl Marx is buried, an urgent voice keeps telling us to speed up. "If you can go above a slow shamble, you'll be OK," our guide says breathlessly. Naomi and I break into grins and puff harder.
Welcome to Zombies, Run!, an app for mobile phones created by Alderman with the games studio Six to Start. Designed to get those of us with sedentary lives off our expanding bottoms, it was launched last month and is already approaching six figures in sales. For Naomi, whose first novel Disobedience won the Orange Prize for New Writing in 2006, it's a triumph. Still in her thirties, she is seen as one of the most promising new-generation talents. Yet she also writes storylines for computer games such as "Perplex City", which she co-created with her friend Adrian Hon, chief creative officer of Six to Start.
The idea for Zombies, Run! came about when Naomi joined a beginners' running course two years ago. "We were asked our reasons for joining, and most gave obvious answers like wanting to lose weight or get fitter; but one woman said she was doing it to 'outrun the zombie horde'. I love action and horror films, and that joke stayed with me.
"Adrian is a fantastic runner, and he and his company had been thinking about how to make a great running app; I've gone from being able to run for 10 seconds to being able to run for 10 minutes. We thought if we made an app that worked for both of us, it'd be a success. So we came up with a story in which you had to run to save a town from a zombie invasion."
Two months and 40,000 words later, she had written 30 "missions". All the lines have been recorded by professional actors barking out questions, updates and instructions. Depending on how fast you go, it lasts from 20 minutes to an hour.
As we march through the cemetery, it's hard not to see other visitors as sinister, predatory figures lunging at us through the tombstones. "They're swarming in from the car park," our guide tells us. "There's one zombie close to you, put on a burst of speed now!"
I loathe jogging, but we "ran" for half an hour and I wasn't at all uncomfortable, largely because I was concentrating on the story instead of my hamstrings.
"Too many keep-fit ideas are designed for those who are already fit, and they're just no fun," Alderman says. The app has already earned her more than most prize-winning authors'get as an advance.
"Maybe I'll try vampires next," she adds.
Zombies, Run! can be downloaded from the iTunes store for £5.49 (apple.com/uk/itunes)

Sad to say, but we've spent more time over last three months examining the ins and outs of Miley Cyrus' relationship with Liam Hemsworth than we have our own. As we deal with the depressing ramifications of this fact, here's the latest on their mercurial romance …
Despite Us Weekly's declaration that the engagement is off and they're "definitely over" after four years of on-off togetherness, People says the "Last Song" lovebirds are on the upswing.
Cyrus, 20, and Hemsworth, 23, "are still living together but have no wedding plans," relays a source. "They still need to work on their relationship, but after they decided to postpone the wedding, they are doing better. They feel less stress and less pressure now. Miley can focus on her music."
But music didn't seem to be the main thing on her mind during a spandex-packed video shoot on Thursday in Los Angeles. Instead, she was more concerned with making sure paparazzi got clear shots of her engagement ring, a process she helped along by holding up her left hand.
The day before, Liam was spied entering the gates of her mansion. According to Us, they're still living together but are sleeping in separate rooms.
"It's strange," opines a Miley spy. "He's like a roomie who she can have fun with and be silly with -- but there's no passion."
Also raising eyebrows: They haven't been photographed together in months.
"It's been rocky, but they are hanging in there," an insider explains to E! News.
We'd say we hope these crazy kids make it, but does anyone except Miley really expect that to happen?

Ou! Orinoco Flow is a delightful border bearded of special interest to all Enya fans! Plants are about 21 inches tall at the time of flowering and are quite adorable! Lovely lavender plicata, but my favorite part is that if you look really close, you'll see that the beards go from purple to golden-yellow. Flowered spring after planting, so I believe it's quite a vigorous yet diminutive grower.

All about beards is very proud to announce our first Spanish-language video on YouTube! If you don't know Spanish, it's no problem. There are English captions available. Just click on "CC" on the YouTube player to enable them. Regardless of language, the video is a tribute to our good friend Vincent and his spectacular beard. Congratulations, Vincent!

Another business trip provided a second opportunity for a beards.org photo shoot with David. Here are some sample shots from today's photo shoot. You can see that his beard growth is more substantial than at the first photo shoot. He has been both growing and trimming to strike a balance for his job. David has also raised his beard's cheek line since the previous shoot. Thanks again, David, and keep growing!
David kindly participated in a beards.org photo shoot yesterday. In recent days, I had been corresponding with David via email in response to his inquiry about ways that he could improve his beard. As soon as we'd begun this conversation, a business trip provided a sudden opportunity for a beard photo shoot. Regarding the sudden photo shoot opportunity, David expressed some hesitation, pointing out that his beard wasn't ready yet, that it still needed work. He kindly went ahead with the shoot, featuring his top-notch beard. David's beard is truly a great one and is expected to attain far higher levels of greatness! We hope to do another photo shoot at a later date when his beard is more "ready". Thanks again, David!
For 2013 I am aiming to do at least one beards.org photo shoot each month, more whenever possible. So far, every month had been covered. But things were looking mighty grim for May. As the clock was running out on the month, Richard kindly agreed to do a second photo shoot on May 31st — just in time! Richard's first beards.org photo shoot was nearly two years ago. I am proud and pleased to present some sample shots from today's photo shoot. Thank you, Richard!
Vincent was kind enough to participate in a second beards.org photo shoot yesterday. Regarding Vincent and his beard, he is bold. He has the courage to grow the kind of beard that he wants, with a natural cheek line that reaches fairly high. And contrary to the fears expressed by others that higher cheek lines or natural cheek lines will bring a storm of criticism, Vincent has only received compliments, support, and appreciation for growing his bold beard. His beard pretty much demands admiration and respect!
Here are some sample shots from Vincent's second beards.org photo shoot, starting with the very first shot of the afternoon.
Thank you, Vincent!
The all about beards documentary beard photography project continues. Yesterday, Joseph kindly participated in a beards.org photo shoot. Here are some sample shots.
Thanks, Joseph!
Beards.org is extremely proud to present Vincent! He was kind enough to participate in a beards.org photo shoot yesterday. Vincent's mighty, mighty beard commands attention, respect, and abundant praise. This was demonstrated repeatedly during the afternoon as countless passersby complimented Vincent on his beard. Everyone was captivated and responded so positively to Vincent's beard. Take note, those of you who are shy about growing your beard. Be bold like Vincent and grow for it!
Here are some sample shots from Saturday's photo shoot, starting with the very first shot of the afternoon.
Thank you, Vincent!
Conner was kind enough to participate in an official beards.org photo shoot yesterday. Don't let the blonde color fool you. This is one powerful beard! Conner will be joining the beards.org featured beards section in the near future. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, here are some preview photos from yesterday's photo shoot.
Thanks, Conner!

text: I happened to be developing some film today, and I noted that the small white "gear" with three "blades" can be adjusted so that the expert tanks will rotate in one direction, or in two directions ( that is, will reverse after after a certain traverse ). Naturally I began to wonder when one would use one way rotation, and when one might use the back and forth rotation. I have been using the back and forth rotation with my expert tanks, but I am careful never to overload the tanks with too much solution....thus, I develop only a few sheets of film at one time. Can anyone speak to when "one way rotation" should be used? I did note that with the one way rotation the speed of the drum is not as easily adjusted, i.e., the rotation appears to be very much faster then I recall, and setting the speed dial does appear to have much affect.

The first official visit of the recruiting process for Compton (Calif.) Dominguez cornerback David Ross was supposed to occur this weekend, but the four-star prospect has had to make a change in his plans. Ross also has a good idea who will receive his five allotted official visits.At 6-0 and 175 pounds, Ross is ranked as the No. 14 overall cornerback prospect in the nation by Rivals.com. Michigan offered Ross last spring and was in his top five as recently as August, but limited contact with the Wolverines has also gotten him thinking about other schools. He was set to take an official visit this coming weekend to Nebraska, but has had to move that date around because of a conflict. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

Remember Me
For their eighth album, the Chicago six are using an original, innovative pre-order campaign where the more individual people that order the album in advance, the more unreleased bonus content is "unlocked" for everyone. Conceived of for the benefit of Umphrey's fans by the band's manager Vincent Iwinski, their 'consigliere' Syd Schwartz, and UM soundman Kevin Browning, those who purchase Mantis will be granted access to an exclusive micro-site, where users will be able to download content throughout 2009. Using PUSH™ technology by Digital Insert, the Mantis disc will act as a key for unreleased live jams, video, rehearsal material and other previously unreleased content, allowing fans a fly-on-the-wall experience that unfolds as content becomes available over the next 12 months. Browning has recorded a staggering amount of behind the scenes material over the past decade and guitarist/lyricist Brendan Bayliss reveals, "Nothing is sacred." Already six of the nine content tiers have been unlocked, indicating strong pre-order numbers, but guitarist Jake Cinninger points out, "The more people jump on, the more we're willing to let go."
In January 2006, UM's members brought their individual song ideas to Chicago's I.V. Lab Studios only as riffs, musical ideas or choruses. In all, they had three discs (four hours) worth of ideas and the trick was to let them fall into place, to "let them manifest themselves," like putting a puzzle together when you don't know the final image. Given the near-constant touring and demands of life, according to Bayliss, it wasn't until a year later that they knew what material would be on the album, and then it took another year of fine-tuning. Cinninger explains that time was the "architecture" needed to create something from almost nothing, and that they really strived to use the studio as a tool to create something wholly pleasing to the band's "ears and hearts." The result is an album with depth and balance that demands and holds the listener's interest.
Mantis was originally a working title, but it grew on the band. They wanted a name that was unique and "Google-able," yet not an overused word, explains Cinninger. Additionally, they wanted to create an album that reflected where they are as individuals and a band. They strived to find their studio voice, a nuanced version of their onstage improvisational fortitude, something upon which they "can hang their hat[s] on at the end of the day," as Cinninger puts it.
With a greater attention to songcraft and space, I think they did it. Mantis feels more cohesive than past efforts, like their vision has been achieved. Opening track "Made to Measure" is a poppy, lofty cut prominently featuring Bayliss' vocals and consonant string arrangement. It's followed by "Preamble," a short, sweet music box melody; the sound of metal combs plinking across pins arranged on a rotating cylinder. But it isn't until the third and title track that Mantis really hits its stride. From there on, the album is clearly Umphrey's McGee - the chunky, riff driven guitars, shored up by a killer rhythm section. Seven of the ten tracks on Mantis have lyrics, and as Bayliss tells it, there was a greater effort to deliver a song-oriented album. "More lyrics make [a piece] easier to hold onto," he says.

Toyota Camry
I'm looking at purchasing a 1989 camry, it has 164,000 miles and has been owned by a mechanic the last ten years. Everything seems great about the car except that it doesn't shift into second gear when going up hill. It will shift up normally on the flat or downhill but skips second and goes to drive when accelerating uphill. The owner says that his wife just manuallly puts it into second and its fine but even without a tach I could tell this does not work either mostly because of the severe lack of power. I don't want to purchase if this could be something major. It is also the 2.0L four cylinder, which means hills can become very hard to overcome with no second gear.

Weekly News and Blog Roundup: Religious Institutions Get It (Almost) All Their Own Way
From paedophile priest cover-ups to textbook propaganda, it might seem that religious institutions have been getting it all their own way this week. Fortunately, you can always rely on Atheist Ireland to rack up a couple of points for the home side.
Our World – Beneath the Radar
It is unfortunately difficult to choose which of the many paedophile priest stories to include in a roundup of this week's news. The Catholic Church's selfish cover-ups have been reported across the globe, and recently one priest has come out to say that he would not necessarily refer sex crimes against children to police today if passed information confidentially.
Watch the BBC News documentary Our World, which follows a former priest and known sexual offender who has been protected by the church, here.
Also, read Christopher Hitchens' article on the subject here.
Sign the Protest the Pope petition, urging Gordon Brown to formally disassociate himself with the Pope's preachings prior to his upcoming UK visit, here.
Great News From Ireland!
On Wednesday we celebrated Saint Paddy's ridding Ireland of snakes (Yes, that is what you were celebrating.) Now it appears that we may soon have cause to celebrate Ireland's ridding of its hugely more venomous blasphemy law.
The Irish Justice Minister has proposed a referendum to remove the offence of blasphemy from the Irish constitution. His decision can be credited, in no small way, to what he describes as "[Atheist Ireland's] incredibly sophisticated campaign". I'll drink to that.

The Pledge Decision
The Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals has announced that the Pledge of Allegiance's inclusion of the words "under God" is in fact constitutional. Take a minute to recover from the shock if you need it. The decision was ruled by a majority of 2-1, and leaned on arguments so fragile that they would surely have collapsed were they not reinforced by the fear of public outrage.

Libel Reform – Urgent Next Steps
Last week played host to the Big Libel Gig, in which several comedians and other prolific speakers joined forces to make a case for libel reform in the UK. All proceeds are to be donated to the Coalition for Libel Reform.
This coming Tuesday there will be a mass lobby at the House of Commons, where members of the public are invited to express their concerns over the UK libel laws to their MPs en masse. This will be the last chance to get commitment on the issue from politicians and policy makers before the election is called. Click here for further details.

The Texas Textbook Hubbub
The Texas Board of Education (BoE) has opted out of the proposed national education standard so that Texan students can have no choice but to live up to their state's stereotype.
The predominantly Christian Conservative BoE has a history of manipulating their textbooks' material that would shock Winston Smith. This year, in order to correct the "liberal bias" they have voted to remove references to the Enlightenment and Thomas Jefferson! Even scarier is that because Texas buys so many textbooks, many publishers tailor their material to the needs of the Texan BoE, spreading the propaganda nationwide.

Gaza's Male Hairdressers: Time to Cut and Run?
Q: What do you get when you cross a Gazan legal system with a nonsensical Islamic tradition?
A: A new policy making it illegal for a man to cut a woman's hair.
The joke might be funnier of course, if this wasn't the result of public protest, sometimes taking the form of bombing offending salons.

Erie UFO not so Eerie
Ohio has been mesmerised by the skies this week, with people gathering around Lake Erie night after night to witness a unidentified light in the sky. The light has returned to its spot for eight consecutive nights and has been reported to change colour. UFO nuts are baffled. Patrick Kent is not.

Noted this website on Google that seems yet to be developed. Thought it would be an interesting approach to teaching !!
Darwins Church a science for life a faith for a reason;
Love the ambiguity of the site quote "I don't know who discovered water but it certainly wasn't a fish!"
I saw a promo of the BBC story on Our World, very disturbing stuff. I don't know what's worse, the child-sex crimes or the institutional cover-ups. On reflection the cover-up is a far worse crime because it helps breed a pedatory culture.
With a bit of luck that doco will make it to Australia. The priest as pedophile stories just keep on breaking. So sad.
Title Virgin Birth
The authors of the Gospels were steeped in pagan literature and lore where the gods
Impregnated mortal women and miracles thrived. Virgin births were part of pagan Greek culture.
Many Christians consider Jesus' virgin birth the most important proof that he was the "Son of God." If indeed his mother, Mary, was a virgin, why was this startling news not known to his contemporaries and earliest believers? They knew nothing because nothing was written or said. Even Paul writing in the fifties A.D. believed Jesus' birth was normal.
"Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures, the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh."(Rom 1: 1-3)
"But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law," (Gal 4:4)
Only Matthew and Luke state that Mary was a virgin and impregnated by the Holy Spirit. Their Gospels date from the seventies and eighties A.D. Where did this concept originate? What were their sources? Was Matthew in Mary's bedroom as she talked to an angel? Neither Mary, Joseph, the Holy Spirit of the angel of the Lord told him. Was Luke in Elizabeth's bedroom when she had her conversation with the Angel Gabriel?
The most important reference for Matthew and Luke was in Isaiah 7:14, seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus. It is translated in the King James translation as:
"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
But in the New Revised Standard Version of the New Testament it is translated as:
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and you shall name him Immanuel."
The Hebrew Bible, which predates the New Testament by centuries, uses the word almah instead of virgin in the Isaiah 7:14 verse. Further verses indicate the word almah means young woman.
Behold, I [Abraham's servant] stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the almah cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink. (Gen 24:14)
Obviously, the servant is referring to a young woman, not a virgin. The Torah has an explicit word for virgin—betulah or bethulah—which is always used when the context requires virginity. (See Genesis 24:16 , Leviticus 21:14 , and Deuteronomy 22:15-19 ). Even Isaiah used it in 62:5. Its nonuse in the Immanuel passage indicates that Isaiah spoke only of a young woman, not specifically of a virgin.
Jesus was not the first famous person to be born of a virgin. In the ancient world, great men were born of divine fathers and human mothers. Alexander the Great and the Roman emperor Augustus were great men and [therefore] said to have had miraculous births. Jesus was also a great man, so he too must have a divine father. The claims of Jesus' birth are no different from any of the other virgin or miraculous birth legends.
Buddha's mother dreamt that a white elephant entered through her side. The next morning she was pregnant with Buddha. Mut-em-ua, the virgin Queen of Egypt, supposedly conceived Pharaoh Amenkept III by a god holding a cross to her mouth. Ra, the Egyptian sun god, was said to be born of a virgin. So were Perseus, Romulus, Mithras, Genghis Khan, Krishna, Horus, Melanippe, Auge and Antiope. Zeus impregnated many mortal women.
Matthew and Luke created the concept of a "virgin birth" for one purpose only— to enhance the stature of Jesus.
* * *
Mark was the first Gospel author to write a biography of Jesus in the seventies of the first century, forty years after Jesus' death. All editors and publishers of books about historical persons demand that writers:
1. Establish the times and places of events described
2. Identify themselves
3. Reveal the sources of their information
4. Verify this information by others
Mark did none of these.
1. Marks' times and places were vague: "On that day" (4:35). "He left that place," (6:1). "When evening came". (6: 47). "In those days," (8: 1).
2. The Gospel of Mark was anonymous. It was given the name "Mark" one hundred years later by Papias, the Bishop of Heiropolis, a city in Asia Minor
3. Mark never credited any source. From whom did he get his information?
4. None of the fifty Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Jewish authors writing during Jesus life wrote anything about him or the astounding events swirling around his life that the Gospels affirm.

Treasuries Rise on Europe, U.S. Sells Notes at Record
Treasuries rose, pushing the yield on the 10-year note to almost record lows, as concern mounted that a possible Greece exit from the euro may worsen the region's debt crisis, boosting haven demand for U.S. government debt.
Treasuries remained higher after a $35 billion sale of five-year notes drew a record-low auction yield of 0.748 percent, compared with the previous record low of 0.88 percent in December. The U.S. will sell seven-year debt tomorrow, the final of three note sales totaling $99 billion. The Federal Reserve purchased $6.5 billion of securities in two operations as part of a program to lower borrowing costs.
"Everything is being driven by the flight-to-quality bid that's being generated out of the fear and uncertainty around Europe," said David Coard, head of fixed-income trading in New York at Williams Capital Group, a brokerage for institutional investors. "It's pushing people into the safest and most liquid assets."
The benchmark 10-year yield fell three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 1.74 percent at 4:59 p.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 1.75 percent note due in May 2022 rose 10/32, or $3.13 per $1,000 face amount, to 100 1/8.
Current five-year note yields fell two basis points to 0.73 percent, while 30-year bond yields eased five basis points to 2.82 percent.
Auction Statistics
The auction yield matched the average forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of nine of the Federal Reserve's primary dealers. Indirect bidders, an investor class that includes foreign central banks, purchased 42.6 percent of the notes, compared with an average of 44.4 percent for the past 10 sales.
The bid-to-cover ratio, which gauges demand by comparing total bids with the amount of securities offered, was 2.99, versus an average of 2.93 for the previous 10 sales.
Direct bidders, non-primary dealer investors that place their bids directly with the Treasury, purchased 6.5 percent of the notes, compared with an average of 12 percent at the last 10 auctions.
"The market rallied all the way into the auction, there was no concession, and a lot of people were forced to buy ahead of the auction so the auction results were a little soft," said John Briggs, a U.S. government bond strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc's RBS Securities unit in Stamford, Connecticut, a primary dealer. "With 10-year yields so close to historical lows and the market being held here due to uncertainty in Europe, if you don't have to trade right here, you don't trade. You preserve capital for better opportunities one way or the other."
Debt Returns
Five-year notes have gained 1.02 percent this year, matching the gain for the broader Treasury market, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes.
This week's note offerings, combined with the May 17 auction of $13 billion in 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, will raise $52.9 billion of new cash, as maturing securities held by the public total $59.1 billion.
Treasuries rose earlier as European leaders prepared to meet for a summit in Brussels to address the region's debt crisis. The 10-year note yield dropped as low as 1.71 percent, approaching the record 1.67 percent set on Sept. 23.
The "level to watch" on the 10-year note yield would be the record low, Tom Fitzpatrick and Shyam Devani, technical strategists at Citigroup Inc., wrote in a research note. "A breach of that would be a real concern as it would open the way for the 1.2 percent area."
German Sale
Refuge from the region's crisis also drove investor demand at an auction in Germany, which received bids for more than the maximum 5 billion-euro ($6.3 billion) target at a note sale, with the yield falling to a record.
Germany, the only country in the euro area with a stable outlook on its AAA rating, sold 4.56 billion euros of two-year securities carrying a zero-percent coupon for the first time, Bundesbank data showed today. The securities were sold to yield 0.07 percent. The country offered a fixed interest payment of 0.25 percent when selling similar-maturity notes on April 18.
German 10-year bond yields dropped to a record-low 1.376 percent.
U.K. government yields on two-, five- and 10-year notes declined to record lows, after Bank of England minutes showed the decision to pause stimulus was a "finely balanced" one for some policy makers.
The Fed purchased $1.8 billion of Treasuries due from August 2022 to May 2030 in its first operation today, according to the Fed Bank of New York's website. The central bank also purchased $4.7 billion of securities maturing from May 2018 to May 2020 in its second operation as part of a program to replace $400 billion of shorter-term debt in its holdings with longer maturities to support the economy by keeping down borrowing costs.
The 10-year rate will be 2.45 percent by year-end, a Bloomberg survey of banks and securities companies shows, with the most recent forecasts given the heaviest weighting.

Does Creatine Prevent Weight Loss? | Q&A Weekly Roundup
This weeks' questions have some great info for everyone — whether you're looking to start a new workout plan to get into shape for summer or are a workout regular who wants to switch up your training patterns — to improve your health and physique.
Here's the short list of questions based on topic:
Question #1 | Does Creatine & Whey Protein Prevent Weight Loss?
Question: First of all I'd like to say thanks for making such an honest and up-front website.
I notice how much of what the Get Lean Guide suggests is gym work. At home I have a bench, bar and barbell with around 50 kg of weights, I was just wondering whether it would be practicable to do much of the exercises at home (intend on losing fat and not muscle). Also, I know that you seem fairly against the use of supplements, would it do any harm if I were to use whey protein or creatine ethynl or would it hamper the weight loss process?
Answer: Hey Cameron,
You absolutely can do much of the exercises at home.
Regarding supplements, if you have trouble eating enough protein, or find whipping up a shake very convenient, then go for it. Keep in mind protein shakes are 100% NOT necessary to get results. Think about whey protein as the powder form of a chicken breast. Because whey protein is just protein/calories, it will not hamper the weight loss process when consumed moderately. Regarding creatine, you will likely retain some water, but to my knowledge there is no evidence that it will hamper the weight loss process. Creatine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps you recover from short burst activities, so it does not affect your ability to lose weight other than forcing you to retain a little more water. If anything, the case could be made creatine can help increase the intensity of your workouts, which could help improve results. Like whey protein, creatine is 100% NOT necessary to get the results you want. We also plan on writing a creatine 101 post because it is such a popular supplement just like we did for whey protein.

Question #2 | Should I Workout My Body Based on Muscle Groups?
Question: Hey Marc, congrats on taking on google as well =)
Quick question for you if I may. The guy who introduced me to gym gave me the idea of working out my muscles separated by groups (i.e. legs for monday, back and pulling – like biceps – for wednesday, and chest and pushing on friday). He said If I do exercises using muscles I worked on 2 days ago, then this muscle doesn't get the proper rest, and it'll ruin the progress. Is it true, and if yes, in which case? – Pavel Khmelinsky
Answer: Hi Pavel, that's an excellent question and one that I believe deserves a separate post for sure!
I would recommend not thinking of strength training in terms of muscle groups, but movement patterns. For example, you may think of bench press as a chest exercise, but I would argue you should think about it as a horizontal pushing motion. Here are the basic movement patterns you can consider:
1) Squat
Regarding the second part of your question, whether or not working the same muscle groups without adequate rest is a bad idea, consider the following. If you do let's say do only a few sets of a chest/horizontal pushing exercise, you should be able to recover in a day, or two. If you however do 9, or 12 sets of 3-4 chest exercises, then you may need to rest 5 days. So the amount of rest each muscle group needs is dependent on the intensity and volume of your workouts. Of course, exercise program design can get very technical, but ultimately if you listen to your body and complete full body workouts 2-3x per week, or do let's say an upper body/lower body split, you should be going in the right direction.

Question #3 | Interval Training With Target Heart Rate Ranges
Question: Hi Marc,
Quick question for you: thinking in heart rate percentages, for interval training what range is intense and what range is rest?
Many thanks! – Lorenzo
Answer: Hey Lorenzo,
It's a quick question, but not too easy to answer! I'll try my best to keep it short and sweet.
The first place to start is by approximating your max heart rate using the 220-age formula. Keep in mind it's only an approximation and an actual max heart rate test is usually not simple.
Assuming you are 40 years old, your target heart rate ranges would look like this:
100% – 180 beats per minute (bpm)
Now as you do intense interval training, it's very possible to get your heart rate up to 90%-95%, and even close to 100% if you workout very hard. The idea is to stay 5-10% below your max heart rate and not much higher, or then you will likely burn yourself out before you can even get a good workout. During your rest intervals, your heart rate will slowly come down.
I usually don't do cardio training based on my target heart rate, but many athletes do. I just want to increase speed, decrease the rest, and add more intervals over time. As long as I'm making progress and making the intervals harder, that's what I care about. On the flip side, you can use your target heart rate as your rest barometer, so that whenever your heart rate gets below a certain level, let's say 126bpm, you are ready for another work interval. Figuring out what ranges are ideal for rest vs. work will require identifying your target heart rate ranges and cross referencing those numbers with how you feel. At the end of the day, how tired you perceive you are is the best barometer of all. One more thing, keep in mind as you get in better shape, it will become harder to increase your heart rate and your heart rate will drop faster.

Question #4 | How Can I Lose Weight Easily?
|Question: How can I lose weight easily? -Nneka
Answer: Hi Nneka – Hope you're having a great day. Your question is a very common one and is actually searched for thousands of times in Google every month. Here's my answer – If there was a way to lose weight easily, then everyone would look like a fitness model. But that's not the case of course! Losing weight is not "easy" because it requires a change in your lifestyle habits, which are subconscious. While losing weight is not easy, it is manageable. For a few articles on how to get you started on losing weight, check out Divide & Conquer: Small Changes Add Up + How to Track Your Nutrition + How Many Calories Should You Eat To Lose Weight
– Marc (Marc Perry, CSCS, CPT)
Question #5 | What Is Too Much Muscle Soreness?
Question: Hey Marc!! First off, I love how u actually seem to be taking the time to make individual replies Anyway, my question is – I was always under the impression that pain is kinda a good thing after a workout – I'm not experiencing any of the "extreme" pain symptoms that u described in your article, but I do have soreness in my legs – each time i lift them etc – but it's not so intense that I since each time I climb the stairs or something. Is this kind of pain a good sign or a bad one? I assume that SOME soreness is common when ur starting out….
Also, I'm turning 27 this month – and is there any kind of workout regimen I can follow so I dont look 30 when I turn 30 Whats the best anti-aging work-out you would prescribe? I dont want to look like a body-builder; but I don't mind a body like Hillary Swank's in "Million Dollar Baby" While I liked your "get lean guide," I felt that it was somewhat focused on men. I'd like to see a guide focused on women. – Riz
Answer: @Riz – Thanks very much for your comment! It's not easy to answer every comment across the over 200 articles on the site, but I try my best Hopefully I'll get some more help soon.
Your question is a great one and worthy of a separate post as an answer, but I will try to my best keep it short and sweet. Yes, some pain/soreness is good after a workout, but it's important to differentiate between the "good" pain of muscle soreness and a hard workout and the "bad" pain of joint pain, or excessive muscle soreness. If you're on a program to get lean and you are sore for more than a few days, you may need to cut back on the volume, or intensity of your workouts, and/or spend more time on recovery (i.e. drinking enough fluids, working on tissue quality with a foam roller and massage ball, stretching, active rest etc.). If you are sore all the time, in some ways it defeats the purpose of working out because we want to workout to enhance how we look and feel right? But if we can barely move our arms after a tough workout for a few days, that's not very useful. One more thing, you will generally be more sore when starting a program of course, so the soreness should lessen.
I think a workout program where you are strength training for 30 minutes 2x per week, doing 1-2 sessions of HIIT for 10-20 minutes, and some stretching/relaxation exercises a couple times per week would be ideal. You can do these back to back, or on separate days. This philosophy is very similar to my BuiltLean Program, which can be used by women. Alternatively, you can use a framework like this on which is very similar to the framework I use in my program, but is more of a circuit – 20 Minute Full Body Circuit Training Workout.
I've been getting A LOT of questions/comments about how BuiltLean is male oriented and there are only photos of male success stories. This is the elephant in the room so-to-speak and one that I am contemplating more deeply. I'm considering adding a female only section to BuiltLean as well as make the BuiltLean Program more female friendly by adding some more female testimonials on the sales page. Thank you for your recommendation as I think given the sheer volume of emails I'm getting from women, I need to reconsider the position of the site/brand.

So glad to read that last paragraph!
June 17, 2012 #
Hi. Congratulations on the success of this website. I always look forward to your weekly email for tips, especially the weekly Q&A round up as it brings up a few interesting facts that sometimes you forget about.
Anyway here is my question. Having read and found the question Should I Workout My Body Based on Muscle Groups? very interesting I was wondering if you could ellaborate more on the movements suggested please? I currently work out from home at the moment as funds are not great to go to a gym and only have access to dumbells, a bar,weight benchand about 40kg of weights. I have currently been splitting workouts by working on each muscle group i.e. Monday – Abs and Biceps, Wednesday – Abs and Chest and on a Friday – Abs and Triceps. As you can see I am trying to achhieve a good six pack and a lean upper body. Thing is is that i do not think I am doing it properly and not seeing the proper results. I also tend to find that my left arm becomes very tired and weak way before my right arm during workouts. This is where I would like to know of some workouts based on your movement routine or if I am doing anything wrong with what I am currently doing?
Sorry for the length of this question but I am very eager to achieve my goals and help from yourselfwill help me in doing so.
June 22, 2012 #
Hey Marc,
Just wondering what your take is on Smith machines for squats vs barbell squats?
I've tried both, and I like the safety aspect of the machine because my arms aren't up to lifting what I can squat, but at the same time I feel like I don't get as much of a burn when using the machine, at least not in the same "way" as with the barbell squats (but my shoulders struggle with 25 kg and it can flare up an old impingement injury)
