Let me start off by making a crucial point. Unless you are a powerlifter (someone who trains purely to get stronger, as opposed to bodybuilders who train to actually get more muscular), you should not give a damn about how much weight you can bench. The question, "how much do you bench?", is one that is often asked. Forget about your ego, and understand that you can bench much less than your friend, yet have a much better developed chest than them. The difference between maximising your chest growth potential, and failing to do so, lies in HOW you perform the flat bench press.
The Barbell Bench Press
How to:
- Lay down on the bench, with your feet firmly on the floor
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together (imagine there is a pencil between them, and you are trying to "pinch" it), and keep them tight like this for the entire lift
- Push your chest upwards, imagining you want to touch the ceiling with it (even though this is impossible) and maintain a very slight arch in your lower back
- Grab the bar with a grip that is shoulder-width apart (no wider, because you put unnecessary strain on your shoulders). Your elbows should not flare out perpendicularly. They should be at a 45 degree angle from your torso if you were to view yourself from a birds eye view.
- Inhale while slowly lowering the bar till it touches the lower part of your chest (this should take at least 3 seconds)
- Pause at the bottom for a second, then exhale and push the bar upwards explosively almost all the way to the top, but not quite (never lock out your elbow joints). Imagine in your head, that you are pushing yourself "down through the bench" instead of pushing the bar upwards. This tip helps some people activate their chest muscles better.
- Repeat
- You can lift more weight, which can cause more muscle breakdown and subsequent growth (only if your technique is perfect)
- You are more likely to get an injury such as torn pec or rotator cuff
- You may develop an asymmetrical chest without realising it, if one of your pecs is stronger
- You will probably not achieve optimal chest growth, as your shoulders will also be reasonably involved in the lift, regardless of how perfect your technique is
- Need a spotter if going to failure
The Dumbbell Bench Press
How to:
- Exactly the same as the barbell bench press in terms of technique, except:
- To get in position, start with the dumbbells rested on your knees, and as you lean back onto the bench "kick up" the dumbbells with your knees to help get them up to that starting position
- Don't lower the dumbbells below the plane of your body, as you will put unnecessary strain on your shoulders
- Feel free to bring your hands closer together at the top for a better contraction
- Symmetrical chest development since each pec is working separately
- Less chance of injury since your arms are not "fixed" to the bar, and can move in a more natural motion (also, your stabilizer muscles will be worked more effectively from having to balance the weights, which will contribute to injury prevention in the future)
- Maximal chest involvement due to a greater range of motion (better stretch and contraction)
- Don't need a spotter (just put the dumbbells on the floor to your sides when you fail)
- You can't use as much weight as with a barbell. The exercise is simply more difficult.
As you can see from the advantages and disadvantages outlined above, the dumbbell bench press is a better choice for those who care about the appearance of their chest. This doesn't mean that the barbell bench press is useless for bodybuilding, but in my personal opinion the risks are not worth the reward, and the same (if not better) results can be achieved using dumbbells.

Bought a formal dress, then fell in love with this more casual, breezy bohemian one from Australian designer Grace Loves Lace. Tried it on twice, but ended up going with the more formal one. Ivory swiss embroidered lace bodice with scoop neck and back and hand beaded cap sleeves. Floaty lined silk chiffon skirt. Perfect for mountaintop weddings, craggy beach weddings, and sweet barn weddings. So light and easy and romantic.

- Alterations: It was made according to my measurements -- Bust 86 cm Waist 65 cm Hip: 90 cm Heel to Shoulder in shoes: 140 cm Shoulder to waist 37 cm I wear anywhere from a 2 to an 8 in street clothes, but the bodice has a nice stretch to it and the skirt has lots of room for dancing, so I think it should work for many shapes.
- Preservation Method: Stored in original box with tags. The box got a little smushed when it was first shipped from Australia to Brooklyn (though the dress was unharmed) so I'd probably ship it to you in something more sturdy.

- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt: Yes
- Location: Brooklyn, NY

Women's Hoops Downs La Salle, 66-51
Feb. 2, 2003
AMHERST, Mass. - Senior Jen Butler (Brooklyn, N.Y.) scored 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds as the University of Massachusetts (12-8, 4-5) downed La Salle (11-9, 3-6), 66-51, in an Atlantic 10 women's basketball game before a season-high 931 fans this afternoon at the Mullins Center. The win snapped a three-game losing streak the Minutewomen had been on.
Massachusetts used a 14-2 run over 6:55 of the second half to put the game away. Leading by nine points at the 16:33 mark of the second half, a lay-up by Butler followed by two free throws by senior Siiri Liivandi (Rapla, Estonia), one charity toss by freshman Cindy Gonzalez (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and a lay-up by senior Ebony Pegues (Columbus, Ohio) on the next four Minutewoman possessions gave them a 16-point lead (47-31) at the 13:30 mark. After La Salle's Bonnie Randa ended the scoring drought, UMass continued the onslaught. Junior Judit Zsedenyi (Budapest, Hungary) drained a three-pointer on the ensuing possession and then senior Nekole Smith (Ann Arbor, Mich.) hit a shot in the paint to give UMass a 52-33 lead. Another pair of free throws by Butler pushed the mark over 20 until La Salle's Jill Marano stoped the bleeding with a lay-up at the 8:13 mark.
The two teams exchanged baskets for the next three and a half minutes until two consecutive Butler baskets gavethe Minutewomen a 23-point lead (62-39) at the 4:40 mark, their largest advantage of the day. All 12 active Minutewomen saw playing time this afternoon and nine scored at least one basket.
Butler finished with a game-high 17 points and 15 rebounds for her 16th double-double of the season. She also added two blocks, an assist and a steal. Pegues finished with 12 points and seven assists, while Smith added 11 points, six rebounds and two blocks. Gonzalez scored a career-high seven points, including 2-for-2 from three-points range, while dishing out three assists and not committing a turnover. Liivandi had her best game since returning to the lineup last month with eight points and six boards.
Massachusetts, the conference's top rebounding team, had a 54-28 edge on the boards this afternoon.It shot .397 (27-68) from the field and outscored the Explorers, 46-28, in the paint. The Minutewomen recorded 20 assists on their 27 field goals.
La Salle was paced by Ekaterina Markova and Jill Marano with 12 points apiece Monica Garrido Sanz pulled down a team-high eight rebounds, but played the majority of the game in foul trouble trying to contain Butler.
The Minutewomen will have a week off before returning to action on Sunday, Feb. 9 at St. Bonaventure. Tip-off is slated for 12:00 p.m.

Cincinnati 'Staycations' ...including $33 Kings Island tix
Don't Waste Your Money
If you are looking for a great vacation without the vacation costs, you don't have to look far.
The financial website Wallethub.com recently ranked Cincinnati No. 3 in its 2014 list of the best "staycation" cities in America.
No question why: Cincinnati has so much to offer.
Well Known and Secret Destinations
Kings island, Coney Island, the Zoo, Museum Center, and of course the Cincinnati Reds -- every Tri-Stater is familiar with the big ones.
But the area also has a lot more.
Tony and Jennifer of Burlington, Kentucky decided to take their kids on a river adventure, not in faraway West Virginia, but at Morgan's Canoe Livery in Brookville, Indiana. They offer canoes, kayaks and even rafts.
They, like more and more Tri-Staters, are discovering you can have a great vacation without hotel expenses.
Blogger Explores the Region
Nedra McDaniel is a Northern Kentucky "mommy blogger," who in her Adventure Mom blog writes about the dozens of things for families to do right here in the Cincinnati area.
"We have so much right here, a great park system and great downtown too, McDaniel said. "We love Over-the-Rhine, too, and we go there a lot with our kids."
She took us on a windswept ride in her convertible to talk about great staycations her family has taken, starting with camping in the Hamilton County Parks at just $20 a night.
Local Parks
They loved their recent camping adventure at Winton Woods lake.
"Camping makes me appreciate nature -- and my bed at home too," she said. Next time, she says, she'll bring an air mattress.
If overnighting is more than you want to deal with, she says local parks have great day activities for families, such as an amazing slide in Clifton's Burnet Woods.
"Burnet Woods has a slide, built in by the stairs that are there."
She also loves the new water playlands for kids in both Smale Park downtown and Washington Park in Over-the-Rhine.
Cost: Completely free.
Loveland Adventures
For about $5 a person, the kids might also like a visit to the Loveland Castle.
McDaniel says there's no need to go to Europe to see a medieval castle complete with knights in armor.
"The kids loved discovering all the things in each room, and it's a really interesting place to visit," she said.
While you are in Loveland, McDaniel suggests pedaling a few miles on its famous bike trail. You can even rent a bike if you don't have one.
Dancing With Wolves
Back in Brookville, if canoeing or rafting isn't your bag, she suggests checking out the Wolf Creek Habitat and Rescue.
You might get to feed raw steak to real wolves, as if you were out in Montana or North Dakota.
"You get to interact with the wolves," she said, "so it's a very unforgettable experience."
River Cruises, Shakespeare
Looking for something a little more intimate? McDaniel suggests an evening cruise on B&B Riverboats .
"My husband and I went on the wine cruise on a date night," she said. "It's fun to sample local vineyards in the area as well."
McDaniel suggests picking up an events brochure, available in supermarkets and on Fountain Square. They list dozens of free events, such as free Shakespeare in local parks all summer long, and free symphony concerts.
Of course, no staycation would be complete without a visit to a top attraction like a Reds game or Kings Island.
But McDaniel says never pay full price, and try not to buy tickets at the gate, especially at King's Island.
She says go to each place's website, or sites like Retail-me-Not , and hunt for discounts.
Among current deals:
- Kings Island : Just $33 online from July 25th - August 24th 2014, in their "Help Kick Cancer" promotion online. Or save $10 buying your tickets in advance at Kroger stores (plus you get fuel points).
- Coney Island : Save $10 buying tickets online.
- The Beach Waterpark : Save $5 buying online.
- Newport Aquarium : Two kids free with a paying adult all summer.
- Cincinnati Museum Center (including Children's Museum) has a Free Friday on August 1.
- Cincinnati Reds : Sundays are Reach Magazine Family Days at the reds, with half price tickets for the kids.
Dozens of activities, and many of them are free.
And McDaniel, enjoying them all in her convertible, says it's no wonder Cincinnati has been named one of the top three staycation cities in America.

Black Eagle
In addition to two bars downstairs, The Black Eagle boasts the largest outdoor patio on Church Street, a party space for 300+ patrons. The patio remains open year-round and is covered and heated in the winter. Good luck finding a table during Pride Week; it's a major draw during Toronto's Pride festival. Weekly and monthly events like Sunday barbeques and Leather Bear Night keep regulars returning.
This newly renovated gay, SM leather bar is located in the heart of the gay and lesbian community. The crowded, narrow second-floor bar caters to hirsute bears–those in sandals need not darken the door. Speaking of dark, the lights may be low, but the video screens cast a bright glow. And what's on the tube on Monday nights?–what else but vintage porn. Contests can get pretty raunchy. some Saturdays are Underbear parties and some Thursday nights are are Naked Night. The Black Eagle hosts several theme nights such as cigar parties, shaving nights, military nights, latex, rubber, PVC nights, red hankee socials and hot wax nights. Its various contests include Best Butt in Chaps and the ever-popular Best Beer Belly and Butt.
This airy patio takes you away entirely from the atmosphere of the busy street nearby. Though if you're hanging out at this gay, SM leather bar, you might not be there to see the tedium of everyday life on the street. A popular bar on Church Street, getting a spot during Pride Week will be especially tough.
Patio details:
• 130 person capacity
• Serves food and drink
• Heated
• Rooftop
• Reservations are not available
Monday - Sunday: 3 p.m. - 3 a.m.
Directions: Just south of Wellesley on Church

To get ready for his crossroads April 12 rematch with Manny Pacquiao, unbeaten American puncher Tim Bradley is making sure a vital part of his preparation will not be overlooked.
With Bradley about to begin the hardwork — nocturnal roadwork, gym training and strength and conditioning—another facet of the preparation is already laid out: his diet.Manny Pacquiao
Bradley told Tempo in an overseas call recently that he will immediately report for training as soon his two-city (Los Angeles and New York) promotional tour is over.
Believe it or not, the 30-year-old Bradley is not into consuming red meat and similar high-protein food when he is training for a big fight.
"I go on a vegan diet when I train," said Bradley, who was awarded a hotly-contested split decision the first time he faced Pacquiao in June 2012 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the venue of their second meeting.
When Bradley says vegan, he means it.
"No chicken and (not even) fish," he said.
With training camp proper a few days away, Bradley admitted his weight is still far from ideal.
"I am 168 now," said Bradley.
But as soon as he goes on a strict diet, Bradley expects to get rid of the excess weight in no time.
Besides, the controlled food intake will be accompanied by night jogging and intense training sessions in Palm Springs under chief trainer Joel Diaz.

May vacates SheridanHoops.com freelance role after ESPN ultimatum
The tension between basketball reporter Chris Sheridan and his former employer, ESPN, seems to have escalated.
Sheridan left The Worldwide Leader in late summer and has since launched his own basketball-centric website, SheridanHoops.com. He brought in friend, and longtime Boston Globe staffer turned freelance scribe, Peter May—who also writes for the New York Times, Hoops Hype and ESPN Boston, according to The Big Lead—to pen a weekly column for the startup venture.
May's first column on Sheridan's site—an examination of Kevin McHale's decision to return to coaching—went live on Sept. 20. Within an hour, according to Sheridan, May received an email from ESPN notifying him that if he wished to continue writing for SheridanHoops.com, he'd no longer be able to freelance for ESPN Boston.
Forced to choose between the two organizations, May opted to stay with ESPN, and informed Sheridan of his decision to resign on Sept. 22.
"They ordered him to make a choice, and I completely understand why he chose to stay with the larger of our two organizations," Sheridan wrote on his website today. "A longtime colleague and friend, he was eager to help me out with the launch of my new site, and he will be missed."
Sheridan has yet to completely delete May's bio from SheridanHoops.com, instead opting to strikethrough the text.

15 Years of Fame
Shaleek Blackburn | Photo: John Gilhooley | March 31, 2014
Newport Beach Film Festival organizers are marking a milestone this year, and they have plenty to celebrate when the eight-day event hits the screen.
Thousands of locals and out-of-towners will gather by the shore on April 24 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Newport Beach Film Festival—and rub elbows with a star-studded crowd of celebrities, moviemakers and fellow flick fans who will be entertained by eight days of world premieres, special engagements and red-carpet affairs. Yes, what began as a little film fest by the sea has matured into a world-class affair. We asked NBFF's CEO and co-founder Gregg Schwenk to share a few highlights and sound bites from past showings, and offer a sneak peek at what we can expect to see this year.
It looks like the Newport Beach Film Festival is a bona fide hit. When I look back on the last 15 years of the festival, I'm exceptionally proud of what we've been able to do. We've screened fantastic movies and offered Newport as a launching pad to expand careers and give a voice to smaller films.
What makes this event so special? We're the Cannes of California. We've got Newport Beach as a setting. With Fashion Island, the Lido Peninsula and Newport Coast, the festival capitalizes on that amazing backdrop to show truly wonderful films.
Anything new happening this year? We're expanding our footprint throughout the greater Newport area. You'll see new locations for some of our post-events, and we're expanding our popular seminar series. We'll be celebrating the 50th anniversary of MacGillivray Freeman Films [based in Laguna]. It's the pioneer of IMAX and documentary filmmaking. Greg MacGillivray is an incredible artist who's put together some of the most memorable films.
Crash, The Cove, Cavedigger—all have gone on to award-winning acclaim after your festival. You really know how to pick winners! Every submission is reviewed five times in its entirety, at minimum. Some go on to nine reviews before a decision is made whether the film is in or out. No other festival that I know of does that. We have a very passionate audience here in Orange County, including Academy [of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences] and movie-industry guild members. I'm always being thanked by them for bringing quality films to this part of Southern California. I think that resonates, especially when the works go on to the festival circuit and awards process.
Here's an easy question: What's your favorite film?
I'm going to cheat and pick three: Citizen Kane, Cool Hand Luke and The King's Speech. They're all exceptionally well-crafted and timeless. You can enjoy them for decades to come.
Let's talk about the future… The last 15 years have been wonderful. We've had tremendous support from the community. I'd be ecstatic if we can continue on that path.

"Our facility's linen and uniform losses are becoming a real issue, and I need to develop a strategy to improve security. Where do you suggest I begin? Item tracking, surveillance, keep it all under lock and key? How far should I go?"Technical Support: Jim Mitchell, Ecolab, Eagan, Minn.
Although you'll probably never solve all of your linen loss issues, awareness will go a long way in reducing losses.
A good example of awareness is purchasing a security system. If you plaster your yard, doors and windows with warning signs and stickers from the security company, this awareness alone can go a long way in preventing burglaries. When employees and customers are aware that you're tracking the linen flow, losses will begin to subside. You can create this awareness by incorporating some or all of the following programs:CREATIVE INVENTORY SEARCH
Are we making an assumption here that the linen loss is due to employee theft or mismanagement? The loss of linens (especially uniforms) isn't necessarily the result of theft. Linens, especially those in short supply, can be hoarded by employees so their area of responsibility always has enough linen to supply demands.
Look for "unique" storage areas such as personnel lockers, utility closets, storage rooms, etc. Ask customers to do the same. Let employees know that keeping a stock of linen and/or uniforms over and above the norm is unacceptable.COUNT OUT, COUNT IN
A high percentage of linens are lost at the point of use. Only you can determine if lost linens should be charged back to customers or employees. If you initiate such a program, losses will decline after a couple of months of charge-backs.
This would require establishing a program where linens delivered to customers or employees are counted and recorded, and the inventory report is signed upon receipt. When linens are returned for laundering, they are counted/ inventoried and any missing articles are charged back to the customer or employee.VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
If one engages in theft or is considering it, being aware that a camera is pointed in their direction while they work can be quite intimidating. As long as your surveillance system covers (or appears to cover) all areas of your operation, including outside areas, theft can be curtailed.
Video surveillance systems can be quite economical. Some can be purchased as an "install it yourself" system to save money, and some obviously can be quite intricate and costly.RFID (RADIO-FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION)
Ever shop in a retail store and wonder how purchased goods can trip a security alarm as you exit the building? Although many stores use magnetic ID strips, this can also result when an RFID device hasn't been properly deactivated.
Such devices come in many forms and sizes, from small wires and tags to tiny chips. Using these devices to track linen flow is becoming commonplace, especially with more expensive linens such as uniforms, bed linens and silks.
Although some laundries use RFID tags or chips for inventorying, sorting and tracking of all linens, having these devices applied to common linens such as sheets and terry may not be practical or economical in your operation. RFID technology is constantly improving, and the devices on the market today are smaller, more cost-effective and offer greater resistance to adverse cleaning elements.LOCK-AND-KEY
Video surveillance may not provide enough protection in your operation, because there may be areas where installation isn't possible. Those areas should be kept locked if you suspect they present a security risk. Also, video surveillance systems can be deactivated one way or another. A lock-and-key system will only help add additional protection. One word of advice: Use locks with keys that can't be duplicated.
How far you want to go with your strategy depends on two things: the size or volume of your losses, and how much money you wish to invest. Regardless what path you choose to take, the key is awareness.Hotel/Motel Laundering: Neil MacDonald, Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club, Lihue, Hawaii
Where do you begin to get a grip on your losses? Good question! This is something I'm dealing with in uniforms right now. How far should I go? I say, "You need to go all the way!"
Lock it up. Label it. Record it. Pass it out yourself. Push to ensure you're in control and managing your products.
To begin, if you're concerned with your losses, then you must be aware that they're occurring. Being aware is your responsibility and the sign of a good manager. Either you have inventory reports or consumption data, something that's telling you that you're not in control and that you need to get a grip on loss.
That means that you have systems in place, which is the first step. But if you don't have systems in place, then you need to develop something to monitor your products. Inventories, consumption data, sign-out records and bar-code labels are all means to record product data and give you vital information in return.
Before you make any rash decisions, it's a good idea to speak to the associates and the handlers of your products to find out if there is something that could be done to curb losses. They might have the answer you're looking for.
You can also visit with your security or loss prevention department. Alert them to the situation, and they may have a solution. If not, present your data to your higher-ups and brainstorm with your peers for solutions. Put the issues on the table with your executive team. Strategize and visualize! If policies and expenses are going to be needed to curb the loss, then you'll need their approval and support.Healthcare Laundering: Richard Hoelscher, Parkland Health & Hospital System, Dallas, Texas
Investigate and quantify losses. Identify problems. Ask for the users' help. Then, solutions often become apparent.
Logo-marked items other than comforters seem to be collector's/ souvenir items. Eliminate logos on items with a high loss rate unless the item is considered to be an advertising or goodwill item that can be charged out as such. Use a generic "Hospital Property" stamp or print.
Blankets, gowns and pajamas often disappear when patients don't have clothing or coats/blankets of their own to wear home. Staff members who are trying to comfort patients often give them pillows and linen items. Minimize the amount of linen left in patient rooms. Solicit donations of items to be sent home with the patient, and make them readily available to staff.
Blankets, towels, washcloths, underpads and other items are often damaged, stained or discarded due to abuse, laziness or a lack of knowledge and resources. Check the trash for reusable linens. Supply rags and drop cloths. Educate users in the proper use and costs of linen, and hold them financially accountable for their loss and abuse.
Some items such as washcloths are often almost impossible to control. Switch to a washcloth that costs less but still offers acceptable quality.
Loss of uniforms is simply a lack of control in issuance and returns. A poorly controlled scrub exchange system greatly diminishes its effect. Hospitals have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by reducing access to scrubs and implementing a well-controlled exchange system for uniforms.
Getting a deposit from temporary, non-employees and withholding from final checks the cost of scrubs not returned by employees upon termination make the users financially responsible. Issues with emergency scrub needs in departments can be covered with a "super" user card controlled by the department manager and billed to his or her budget when not returned.
Unscrupulous people steal linens and uniforms that are easily accessible. Place linen carts in view of the nurses station or in a secure location. Lock linen rooms. Establish an ambulance cart. Prosecute and publicize convictions of thieves. Reward and recognize those personnel who report and help identify thieves and abusers.
Tracking, Control Are Keys to Merchandise Control (Part 2 of 2)

National Skeet Shooting Association Selects PayLeap to Provide Electronic Payment Solution to Members
The National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA) and National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) Members now have access to an exclusive merchant services program from PayLeap that includes the ability to accept PIN debit for e-commerce and m-commerce through PaySecure.
ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) December 12, 2012
The National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA) and the National Sporting Clay Association (NSCA) have partnered with PayLeap to provide merchant payment solutions to their members.
PayLeap has created a program specifically for NSSA/NSCA members, allowing them to use their PC or web-enabled device to accept credit cards and checks. This enables members to accept payments on their website, in their stores, through email, or on the road with just a single account. Members can also use their existing credit card processing equipment in most cases, if they wish.
PayLeap, a merchant acquirer catering to SMBs, uniquely offers PIN debit to small and mid-market merchants. PIN debit benefits merchants by shifting the liability for fraud from the merchant to the card issuer. With PaySecure®, online shoppers enter their PIN on a virtual pad at the merchant checkout, needing only their existing debit card and a PIN number to complete the transaction. PaySecure® is designed to provide an extra layer of security for debit card transactions, reducing fraud and charge-backs for merchants.
NSSA is the official governing and sanctioning organization for the sport of skeet. With nearly 20,000 members, it is the largest organization in the world dedicated solely to the sport of skeet shooting.
NSCA has over 22,000 members in all 50 US states and 10 foreign countries. More than 600 member clubs serve members and host both registered and recreational shoots.
"Partnering with the NSSA-NSCA is a natural fit for PayLeap, because we have a perfect solution for all of their members," says Scott Miller, Executive Vice President and General Manager of PayLeap. "Our subscription management service with recurring payments allows collection of credit, debit and check/ACH payments electronically, which is perfect for memberships," says Miller. "For face-to-face transactions, merchants can use the PayLeap virtual terminal and add a card swipe device that plugs into their computer."

With over three million people a week migrating to cities, more people than ever are living in urban environments
More people than ever are living in urban environments, particularly in the developing world. Photograph: 19697.000000/Getty Images
With more than three million people a week moving to cities around the world to find a better quality of life, more people than ever before live in urban environments.
This trend is particularly pronounced in developing countries. In India 41 families move into a town every minute and it is estimated that this rate of migration will result in an urban population of 700 million by 2050. Developed countries face a different, but equally pressing, challenge: an ageing population and outdated infrastructure. Read more

You may have had what you thought was food poisoning or the stomach flu in the past. If you have, your illness may have been caused by a group of viruses collectively known as noroviruses. Noroviruses are, in fact, responsible for many food poisoning cases. But "stomach flu" is a misnomer becauses noroviruses are not related to influenza. They are, however, the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis - also known as AGE. Each year, 15 to 25 million cases of noroviruses are reported in the United States. And of those cases, about 50,000 to 70,000 require hospitalization. Approximately 500 to 1000 deaths from norovirus are reported annually, as well.
How is norovirus transmitted?
Norovirus is a highly contagious pathogen that can infect anybody, but the very young and the very old are particularly susceptible. And since there are so many types of noroviruses, the human system has a difficult time building up sufficient immunity to them. In other words, building an immunity against one type doesn't necessarily guarantee immunity against another type. Noroviruses can be spread in many ways. The viruses can be spread by touching contaminated surfaces then putting your fingers in your mouth. They can be spread by eating or drinking after a contaminated person. They can also be transmitted through fecal material by changing diapers or not washing hands after using the restroom. Norovirus is notorious for causing mass illness in people who work in close proximity or who gather in large groups such as in schools, daycare facilities, nursing homes, hotels, and cruise ships.
Symptoms of norovirus
Noroviruses cause inflammation throughout the gastrointestinal tract - a condition known as gastroenteritis. The symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, fever, body aches, dizziness, and stomach cramps. These symptoms can last for several days and because they can be severe, dehydration is a major concern. It is very important to drink plenty of fluids and rest. Treatment of norovirus Since antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, they is no use taking them in hopes of recovering from norovirus faster. In fact, there is no specific drug treatment protocol for norovirus. The most important course of treatment is to stay hydrated with fluids containing electrolytes and sugar such as sports drinks or fruit juices. Though the symptoms often render a person unable to function for a time, the body will usually fight off the virus in a few days with no resulting complications.
Prevention of norovirus
Fortunately, there are many steps you can take to prevent becoming infected with norovirus. Of course you should practice good hygiene and wash your hands before and after eating and after using the restroom. Here are a few more preventative measures:
- Wash raw fruits and vegetables in a weak vinegar solution before eating them.
- Keep sick family members away from areas where food is prepared to keep others from becoming ill.
- Use a bleach solution to clean surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom.
- Wash bedding, bathroom towels, and kitchen towels in hot water if possible.
Noroviruses are a group of viruses that are highly contagious and cause inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms can be quite severe and can include vomiting and diarrhea. But the good news is that the immune system is usually able to get rid of it injusty a few days. The only complication that usually arises is when dehydration occurs. So it is most important to stay hydrated throughout the duration of the illness. Those with norovirus are most contagious during the actual sickness and three days after recovery.

LaMesa Grill in SM Cebu serves modern Filipino cuisine. However, the SM Cebu branch also has one of the worst customer service I've ever experienced in the restaurant business.
I visited LaMesa Grill around 2:30 pm on March 13, 2014. Here's what went wrong:
- The waiter took several minutes to take my order even though there were lots of staff members and few customers. Several staffers were just goofing around.
- After I gave the waiter my instructions, I followed up on my order after 30 minutes. They had never even began to prepare my meal (even after 30 long minutes) because, according to the waiter, there was a problem with the grill. The staff never bothered to inform me that there would be a long delay.
- When I asked for the supervisor, I suspect the waiter lied to me by telling me that he/she had left the branch, presumably on break. However, the supervisor immediately emerged from the kitchen and asked me to wait for "10 minutes" for my food. They had not even started preparing the meal after 30 minutes.
- Disgusted, I told the supervisor that I wasn't going to pay for my drink and dessert, and I quickly bolted out of the restaurant.
This is extremely poor customer service -- one of the worst I've ever experienced -- and the supervisor needs to be fired for running a circus.
Here's my restaurant review: Don't go to LaMesa Grill in SM Cebu -- unless you want to be served by a bunch of retarded clowns.

"El Toro" in action this Thursday!
Story by David Robinett
Photo by Laura De La Torre
WBC #8 heavyweight contender Manuel "El Toro" Quezada (29-4, 18 KOs) faces off against veteran Jason "The Sensation" Gavern (18-7-3, 8 KOs) this Thursday at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in Lemoore, California.
Quezada, who is coming off a five and a half month layoff, looks to notch his 19th consecutive win and try to improve on his ranking. Gavern, a capable but inconsistent skilled journeyman, is looking to bounce back from losses against undefeated prospects in his last two bouts.
"The layoff wasn't planned," Quezada said. "It just kind of worked out that way. We were looking to get a big fight, but it didn't happen. It's okay though because for a while I was fighting regularly so it felt good to give my body a little rest. But I'm ready to get out there now."
Quezada will also be fighting for the first time since 2008 without well-known trainer Joe Goossen in his corner.
"Nothing against Joe," explained Quezada. "He was just real busy with [Edison] Miranda and [John] Molina so we went back to our old trainers for this fight and took everything Joe taught us from our previous fights. What I learned from Joe really helped me so I'm taking that in [to the fight] with what I have with my current trainers. We're going to combine it and make it even better."
Quezada has also made another significant change since his last fight, a ten-round decision over the rugged Nicolai Firtha back in October 2009. Quezada has handed over management of his career to an outside agency after serving as his own manager for several years.
"It's really working out for me," said Quezada. "The biggest advantage for me is that I don't have to worry about anything but training and fighting. Fighting is all I have to worry about now and that's all I ever wanted."
Across the ring from Quezada will be the enigmatic Gavern, a talented boxer-puncher who showed promise early in his career with wins against B-level fighters such as Cisse Salif and Raphael Butler, and a draw against then-undefeated Travis Walker, but whose career appears to have settled into that of a durable opponent for up-and-coming prospects.
"I studied him a little bit and he's a good, slick little boxer," Quezada acknowledged. "He's been in with a lot of good, big heavyweights and he's a durable guy so I'm going in there looking to impose my will. I'm going to try and get my fight out there before he can establish his fight."
Another difference in this fight for Quezada will be the fact that for only the second time in his last ten fights, he will be the heavier man in the ring.
"[Laughing] It's weird but it seems like I'm always the smaller guy so this will be a little different. But I try and look at every fight the same, and I don't take any fighter lightly, and I won't take Jason Gavern lightly."
Quezada also recognizes that at this stage of his career, fans want to see knockouts, but he's just as satisfied going the distance.
"If you can get a good, flashy knockout, then great," said the fighter. "But if you can't then its good to get your work in and get more experience. But to me, either way is good. Honestly, I'd rather get those big, long, drag-out fights because when I do get in there with those tough contenders and champions, I'll know I can do it."
Despite the layoff and the recent changes outside of the ring, "El Toro" remains confident that he is on track for bigger fights if he can get past Gavern this Thursday.
"I plan to just keep on winning and moving up in the rankings. Hopefully this year I can get a crack at a top-10 opponent and get a shot at a world championship soon after that."
Manuel Quezada vs. Jason Gavern is the main event of a five-bout card that is hosted by the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino and promoted by Goossen-Tutor Promotions. Tickets are $225, $60, $40, $35 or $20 and are available at the Tachi Palace Gift Shop (866-4-PALACE or 559-924-7751). Doors open at 5p and the first bout is at 6p.

Garage band, The Drendas, celebrated the release of their new CD, "Boy Trouble," along with The Shifty South at 80/20 Burger Bar in Norfolk last Saturday night.
The Drendas started the night off playing a mix of everything on the CD, some newer tunes and a few covers. Most notably Leslie Gore's, "You Don't Own Me." They growled through the song with enough attitude that made me want to travel back in time and play it for a young Joan Jett, who covered it on her first album, "Bad Reputation."
After playing it for Jett, I would advise her not to be so nice about it, and to do it like you mean it. Like The Drendas.
Next up was The Shifty South. It had been awhile since I'd seen them, and noticed they'd added a couple of new members, Seth Wilder on bass and Mark Smilor on lap and pedal steel guitar. The addition of lap and pedal steel guitar added an extra depth and rounded out their sound perfectly.
For those of you who haven't seen Shifty, the best way I can describe them is rock 'n' roll mixed with some old school southern grit. It's the fun of rock with the shit kicking of country. Something that will make you want to dance, and could possibly make you want to brawl. But play nice kids, dancing is way more fun, and you won't need bail money.
To learn more about The Drendas, be sure to check out my in depth interview , and their Facebook page.

Federated Access Manager 8.0 -- The Overview (Part I)
By dr156914 on Sep 24, 2007
OK. I've been heads down for the last two months but wanted to share some of what we're working on in our next product release.
We're in the process of combining Access Manager and Federation Manager in to a single product called Federated Access Manager (FAM). Scheduled to release in March 2008, the product will be built from a single, externally managed and accessible code base, which is part of an open source project called OpenSSO. All builds of FAM are publicly available via the OpenSSO web site. An early access version of the product will be available November 2007. To explore Federated Access Manager 8.0 please go to the OpenSSO website to download the latest stable build.
FAM will be delivered as a self-contained J2EE application. Delivering the product as a pure J2EE application provides ease of deployment and minimizes the number of processes that are running at one time. This enables Sun to provide access management, federation, and web services security functionality out of the box and delivered as a simple WAR file that can be deployed in minutes. Other Federation/WAM solutions often require the deployment of multiple components, scripts and have multiple processes running at once.
In my next blog I'll talk a bit about what features will be delivered in FAM 8.0. Also, check out my pretty little roadmap slide below that outlines how FAM and OpenSSO relate to one abother. Wocka Wocka Wocka!

Mix metrics for April 27, 2009
By tbonnema on Apr 27, 2009
As mentioned a while ago, we're looking at a few key performance metrics to tell us how we're doing with Mix.
We'll start sharing them here on a regular basis (most likely weekly or bi-weekly) so you can follow along:
- Registered users: 41,096
- Active users (30-day): 4,808 (11.7%)
- Page views (30-day): 71,725
- Twitter followers: 787
Mix is growing at a rate of about one percent per week. Our 30-day active user numbers hover around ten percent. Traffic is pretty stable as well.
We still have to roll out a couple of key features that we expect will drive activity quite a bit (content embedding and "message to all group members" capability for group admins).

Check out this little champ in the "A" wave! Photo by Dondi Barrowclough.
Ah, Memorial Day weekend in Boulder. The Creek Fest, the art show, the kiddie rides, the 7:00am start to the world's biggest 10k. And I was there. Next year, we hope you will be too.
The following is my little chronicle of the first BolderBoulder morning I haven't run it in years...anda slideshow of fun pics I took too.
5:30am, May 31, 2010: It's about an hour and a half from the start of the 32nd annual BolderBoulder 10k, when the first few waves of more than 50,000 runners will begin the 6.2-mile course through this gorgeous city and finish at the CU stadium, to the roar of crowds filling the stands and cheering the racers, runners and walkers on to their victory.
I live about three blocks away from the BolderBoulder start, and I can't imagine the insanity that must have taken over that area. Actually, I can: this is the first year of several that I won't be participating in the BolderBoulder. I got lazy about signing up, which ended up being a good thing, as I am currently recovering from a nasty virus that hit me out of nowhere about five days ago. I'm not quite sick, enough, to not jog over to the start line and snap some photos of the first few waves.
So, enough of my babbling....go check out the slide show! I was fortunate enough to get some awesome shots, and it was a customarily beautiful

Sometimes slow and steady wins the race.
The Nets flipped the tables on the high-flying Phoenix Suns in a 108-95 win, limiting them to just 11 fastbreak points. Deron Williams recaptured his pre-injury form, accounting for 28 points on 11-for-13 shooting.
The Suns entered the Barclays Center utilizing a similarly small lineup, but the pace made all the difference. Where the Nets prefer a methodical, isolation offense, the Suns prefer to run opponents out of the gym.
Jason Kidd's team used its length to clog the passing lanes and make life difficult for the Suns, who played in Toronto Sunday night. The Suns operated in second-gear for most of the night and the Nets punished them down low. The Nets' offense accounted for 52 points in the paint, 44 of which came in the first half.
"On offense, there were multiple touches tonight and defensively, paying attention to the details and trying to take away the three," Kidd said. "I thought that one of the things we did tonight that showed a lot of growth from the last game was we had a lead and we kept it. Phoenix kept making runs but we responded."
Neither the Nets nor Suns offer much resistance in a big-bruising center. The Nets exploited the Suns' interior deficiencies.
"It's just the game-plan," Williams said. "They're 29th in the league in points allowed in the paint, so we tried to take advantage of that. They don't have a lot of shot blockers in there, so we were just aggressive going to the basket."
Both teams opt to play small, but the Nets' quality outlasted the Suns' quantity. Although working under coach of the year candidate Jeff Hornacek, the Suns' offense strongly mimics Mike D'Antoni's seven seconds or less style.
The Suns needed a few more seconds against the Nets.
"We didn't do much of anything," Hornacek said. "I thought we had terrible effort tonight. We can't come out and just show up, especially against a good Brooklyn team. ... They've been playing great; It should've been a big game to get hyped up for."
The Nets swept the Suns with their win Monday night. The small style plays to the Nets' advantage, which explains the 3-0 record against the two-time defending champion Miami Heat. The same can be said in reference to the Nets' curious 0-3 record against the oversized Detroit Pistons.
Despite their struggles, the Indiana Pacers pose more of a problem for the Nets than the Heat. The Nets' size matches up well against the reigning champs, while Roy Hibbert and David West will give them headaches. The Nets have already fallen to the Pacers three times this season.
The Nets will live with this lineup for at least the next week. Prior to the game, Kidd ruled Garnett out for three games. The training staff will then re-evaluate him.
The Nets will host the Charlotte Bobcats Wednesday night. The Bobcats currently occupy the seventh playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Going Green on St. Patrick's Day
While the Nets collectively stopped the Suns, former Billy King reclamation project Gerald Green dazzled the 17,401 fans in attendance. Known most for his dunking when King initially signed him to a 10-day contract back in 2011-12, Green displayed his improved repertoire.
In the second quarter, Green soared over center Mason Plumlee for a two-handed, double-clutch dunk. The Nets struggled to stop Green, but they handled the rest of the suns.
Green, who has cast his name into the Most Improved Player of the Year race, finished with 17 points. Green returned to the bench when guard Eric Bledsoe came back from injury.

The miraculous rescue of all 33 Chilean miners is difficult to understand from a purely secular perspective. In this day and age of militant atheism, coupled with relentless assaults on Roman Catholicism, it is refreshing to read about the central role that Catholicism played in helping these courageous men survive, and of their enormous gratitude to God.
To those who cling to the superstition that there is no meaning to life beyond sheer material existence, we ask them to reflect on the following testimonials. Just as there are no atheists in foxholes, there are no atheists in trapped mines. Click here for some inspiring comments.

Options for women seeking midwives expanding
Published: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 9:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 9:28 p.m.
Area supporters of expanding midwifery services in Wilmington now have more options for the care.
This month, South East Area Health Education Center hired a third midwife, and another certified nurse midwife has opened up her own practice in Hampstead.
SEAHEC hired Pamela Irby on Jan. 18 to see patients at the group's University Physicians practice, said Todd Beste, program director for SEAHEC's OB/GYN department.
Irby was one of two certified nurse midwives who worked at Carolina OB/GYN before that practice discontinued its midwifery program last year.
"I am thrilled to be serving the women of Wilmington again," Irby said in a statement Wednesday from the Where's my Midwife? group.
In the wake of Carolina OB/GYN's decision, midwifery supporters pushed hard for policy changes at New Hanover Regional Medical Center they felt would make it easier for midwives to practice in the area.
The hospital eventually agreed to update its policy, allowing that supervising obstetricians did not have to be on site when midwives were helping deliver patients' babies.
Olivia Marshburn, a certified nurse midwife who had been working at the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, opened her practice Jan. 1.
Marshburn, said there were eight other midwives at the Naval Hospital and she decided to move up her plans to open a home-birth practice after hearing about the shortage of certified nurse midwives in Wilmington.
She and two assistants now are seeing women at Midwifery Services.
There has been heavy interest since the doors opened, Marshburn said.
"I've been getting calls. Every day I get new clients," she said.
In North Carolina, certified nurse midwives can attend home births if they are licensed and have a supervising doctor.
Legislation has been proposed in Raleigh to allow certified professional midwives, who undergo different training, to practice legally in the state.

Pete's New Haven Style Apizza Restaurant Review: For DCers, the shorthand name for this pizzeria is simply "Pete's," but everyone knows that this corner eatery has a lock on the pizza business on upper Wisconsin. Not only that, there are hefty sandwiches and abundant pasta plates to round out the casual menu. Clearly, though, pies are the menu item of choice, with specialty toppings that range from arugula salad with marinated tomatoes to house-made meatballs and roasted peppers. By selling very large pizzas (enough for a house party), patrons can partake of generous slices with different toppings, and even add a side salad without breaking the budget. Desserts are limited to just a few options, such as oatmeal or chocolate chip cookies. Also located at 1400 Irving St. NW, Washington, DC, 202-332-7383.

The first day back to reality is always dreadful and daunting. This year it doesn't have to be! This year you are going to put your best skin forth and take on the school year with confidence. Go back to school with healthy, clear and radiating skin by following these 5 "Back to School" skincare tips:
1.Establish A Skincare Routine
The best way to determine what type of skincare routine is right for you is to understand your skin type:
- Normal: Individuals with normal skin have smooth skin and minimal blemishes. Wash your face twice a day with a gentle, all-natural cleanser. Apply a clear, light-weight serum for added nutrients.
- Oily: Individuals with oily skin are prone to blackheads and pimples due to clogged pores. Use a mild cleanser with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to prevent breakouts.
- Dry: Dry skin is rough and dull, due to excessive skin shedding. Wash your face no more than 2 times a day with lukewarm/cold water (hot water strips the skin of necessary oils).
- Combination: The best skincare routine for combination skin is to combine and experiment with skincare routines geared for both oily and dry skin.
2. Back To School Makeup
Start the new school year with new makeup. Old makeup and makeup tools are breeding grounds for bacteria. Old makeup may cause eye infections. Old makeup brushes may cause skin blemishes and breakouts. Out with the old, in with the new.
3. Catch Up on Some ZZZ's
During summer vacation, it's not uncommon to stay up past 3am in the morning. With the start of the school year, get back to your regular sleeping schedule (at least 7 hours). There's a reason why they call it beauty sleep. Sleep has been scientifically proven to improve the appearance of our skin by keeping stress at bay, by regenerating new cells and preventing wrinkles, dark circles and dull skin.
4. Pack Your Own Lunch
Cafeteria food is unpleasant to eat and usually bad for you. Fried foods high in fat, processed foods and foods high in sugar are all bad for your skin. Pack your own lunch with fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants and fiber!
5. Pick Up A Sport
One of the best all natural ways to boost the appearance of your skin is to get up on your feet and be active. Whether you're interested in picking up intramurals, taking a gym class or trying out for a team, find creative ways to keep your blood flowing. When you exercise, you are increasing your blood flow and circulation, which exposes your skin to more oxygen, blood and nutrients. That's why your skin always radiates after a workout.
Cheers to Happy Skin!
