Hey you! Yes, you, the woman who can't peel her eyes off the computer screen. Even if you have the most ergonomically correct workstation in the world, sitting there and working on your computer for hours at a time is one of the worst things to physically do to your body. First of all, who wants to look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame? And I won't even mention (OK, I am) the back and neck pain it causes…which leads to headaches! Ugh! No bueno, right?
One of the most useful things you can do for your body is to move around and change positions every 20 to 30 minutes. This allows your body to naturally stretch and increase circulation to stagnant muscles, preventing the tightening and weakening of those muscles that are used less while you are sitting. Your body adapts. That means if you spend most of your time in one position, different muscles in your body will shorten or lengthen to adjust to that position.
I understand that there are times when that just can't happen, so here are a few moves straight from my Skype Shape-Up program.You will be able to do these at your desk to prevent you from looking like Quasimodo's twin and suffering subsequent headaches. And, bonus…you'll look leaner and taller!
1. As seen in our "Moves for a Better Butt" article seat hovers will keep your legs and butt strong. From your chair, squeeze your butt cheeks, hold your stomach in, and press through your heels and lift that tush off your chair. Let your bottom hover over your seat pan a couple of inches. Be sure to tuck your tailbone under you and clench your glutes. Keep your shoulders drawn back to keep your back flat. When you can't stand it anymore, stand straight up by squeezing that bum. (Wow, there are a lot of different words for butt.)
2. Hip circles will keep your lower back mobile and pain free. Begin by sitting in neutral position—at the front edge of your chair, planting your feet flat on the floor, and keeping your shoulders drawn back and down (imagine trying to tuck the bottom of your shoulder blades into your back pockets). Press your navel in, toward your spine. Inhale and tuck your pelvis under you, flattening your back. (When done right, you will feel the muscles of your lower abdomen—transverse abdominals—heat up.) Then, exhale and press it back, arching your lower back. Repeat a few times. Then circle your hips around, about five in each direction, like you are trying to draw circles with your tailbone.
3. Hip flexor stretches ensure those muscles at the top front of your thighs don't shorten on you, which can cause nasty lower back pain. If you're wearing pants you can do this in your chair. Start seated in neutral with your left upper leg on the front edge of your chair. Drop your right leg off the chair, right knee pointed straight down, stabilizing your body by holding your abs in and tucking your tailbone under you (flattening your lower back). Reach your right toes as far back as possible. You should be able to feel a warm stretch from the front of your right hip and down the front of that thigh. Hold for a count of ten, and repeat on your left leg.
So, If you are in a dress or bottom that inhibits your movement into this stretch, stand up and take one step forward about two feet with your left leg. Keep your stomach in and shoulders back. Then tuck your pelvis under you, pointing your tailbone down toward the floor. You should feel that stretch in the front of your right hip. Hold and repeat on your other side.
4. Shoulder blade pinches strengthen the muscles of your upper and mid back, preventing the all-too-common forward shoulder slump. You can do these while you type. Begin in neutral position. Then, pinch your shoulder blades together, like you're trying to crush an apple between your shoulder blades. Be aware that your shoulders don't shrug up—keep'em down.

Gastric cancers have been known to secrete the proangiogenic cytokine VEGF in vitro and in vivo. Tumor VEGF expression is correlated with the severity of disease in patients with gastric cancer and some authors have suggested using circulating VEGF as a prognostic factor or tumor marker.In addition to producing proangiogenic cytokines, recent data demonstrate that tumors can produce antiangiogenic cytokine as well. It has been suggested that, in humans, the generation of antiangiogenic compounds in the presence of a primary tumor suppresses the growth of distant metastases. This phenomenon has been demonstrated in mice and in patients with clear cell renal cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer. However, the presence of endogenous antiangiogenic cytokines in patients with gastric cancer has not been reported.

Paris to become a "laboratory" for urban design
By Elizabeth Pineau
PARIS (Reuters) - Paris, the city that has inspired legions of artists and creative thinkers over the centuries is looking to the future -- searching for urban design projects at the forefront of innovation and utility.
From urban mushroom gardens to Wifi-enabled hammocks on the Champs-Elysees, 40 temporary projects will be installed from July to December throughout the French capital and its residents asked to express opinions on their long-term suitability.
"The idea is to make the city a 'living lab', an experimental laboratory," said Jean-Louis Missika, the deputy mayor in charge of innovation, research and universities.
"Some projects will have zero utility, while others will be enormously popular, I'm sure."
That may be the case with the parking detectors that can guide hard-pressed Parisian drivers to nearby empty parking spaces, or a streetside booth where people can record video messages and send them to friends or loved ones.
Other projects are more whimsical, from the "U-Farm" mushroom grower that relies on coffee grounds or the mobile aqua garden that can raise both vegetables and fish.
The city of Paris has subsidized about half of the design projects to the tune of up to 30,000 euros ($43,820).
Tourist sites have not been ignored in the attempt to modernize the city. A multimedia terminal will help guide visitors through the famous Montparnasse cemetery, final resting place for literary greats like Charles Baudelaire, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. Continued...

Stacy Searels
Stacy Searels was named offensive line coach for the Bulldogs in January, 2007, after serving four years coaching the offensive line at LSU during which time the Tigers won a national championship (2003), one SEC title (2003), and two SEC East titles (2003 and '05). He added the duties of Running Game Coordinator in 2009.
In each of his first two seasons he took offensive lines with three freshman starters and molded them into formidable units that were instrumental in the Dogs' 11-2 and 10-3 records and top ten final rankings.
A native of Trion, Ga., and 1990 graduate of Auburn, Searels was an All-America lineman for the Tigers in 1987 when he was a teammate of current Georgia defensive line coach Rodney Garner. Prior to joining the LSU staff, he coached the offensive line at Cincinnati (2000-02), Appalachian State (1994-2000), and served as a graduate assistant at Auburn (1992-93).
LSU's offensive unit in 2006 finished first in the SEC in total offense and scoring offense and was third in rushing offense and passing offense. Searels made a habit of producing All-America linemen for LSU. He coached two First-Team All-Americans in Stephen Peterman and Rimington Award winner Ben Wilkerson and a Second-Team All-America in Andrew Whitworth. Five of his Tiger linemen earned spots on NFL rosters.
In addition, during that four-year stretch, LSU's offensive line produced a pair of First-Team Academic All-Americas in Rodney Reed and Rudy Niswanger. LSU had an offensive lineman named First-Team Academic All-America four straight years.
Niswanger became the most decorated student-athlete in school history in 2005, winning the Draddy Award as college football's top scholar-athlete as well as being the inaugural recipient of the Wuerffel Trophy.
Searels joined the staff at LSU after a two-year stint as offensive line coach at Cincinnati. While with the Bearcats, Cincinnati played in two bowl games as well as winning the school's first conference title since 1964 by capturing the 2002 Conference USA crown.
Prior to joining Cincinnati, Searels served as an assistant coach at Appalachian State from 1994-2000, helping the I-AA squad to five playoff appearances and a pair of Southern Conference titles.
While at Appalachian State, Searels was presented with the NCAA Award of Valor, recognizing him for his act of courage following a head-on collision involving a van carrying members of the Mountaineer football team and support staff on Sept. 30, 2000.
Searels got his start in coaching as a graduate assistant at Auburn in 1992, working with theTiger squad that posted a perfect 11-0 mark in 1993.
As a senior in 1987, Searels earned First Team All-America honors from both the Associated Press and Football News. Searels was a three-year starter for Auburn, blocking for Heisman Trophy winner Bo Jackson in 1985 and All-America Brent Fullwood in 1986. He also participated in four bowl.
A First-Team All-Southeastern Conference selection as both a junior and senior, he was honored with the team's Ken Rice Award as the school's best blocking lineman in 1987. He played in both the Japan Bowl and the Senior Bowl following the 1987 season.
In 1990, the Birmingham Post-Herald named Searels to the Auburn team of the 1980's.
Searels was a fourth round draft pick by the San Diego Chargers in 1988, playing two seasons there before moving to the Miami Dolphins for the 1990 season. He ended his professional career in 1991 with the New York/New Jersey Knights of the World League of American Football.
Searels graduated from Auburn with a degree in marketing and transportation in 1990. He followed that with a Master's degree in higher education administration from Auburn in 1995.
Searels is married to the former Patricia Hale and they have two daughters, Taylor (13) and Savannah (10).

Jan. 23, 2014
Freshman Allison Skaggs was named the CWPA Western Division Rookie Player of the Week after her first collegiate tournament, where she posted three goals, two assists and four steals at the Michigan Kick-Off (Jan. 18). Skaggs started both U-M games, one of just a select few Wolverine freshmen in program history to start immediately and aims to be a major factor for the Wolverines this season.
As the Wolverines take advantage of a two-week break in competition to work on strengths and weaknesses from the opener, Allison sat down after a midweek practice to talk about her debut, her role as a freshman and U-M's road trip to California.
Q: How was your first weekend of official college competition?
A: It was really exciting. I was pretty nervous, and obviously we didn't get the outcome that we wanted but I think that just shows that we are really young and that we have so much more room for improvement. It was a good weekend and a good place to start.
Q: Obviously the team came out of the opening weekend with a lot of things to work on. With two weeks until your next competition, are you starting to work on some of these things in practice?
A: Absolutely. I think Matt and Ryan are doing a really great job with identifying fixing things we did wrong, but it's also up to us to work really hard and put in that much extra effort because we're about to play the top teams and it's not going to get any easier.
Q: As a freshman on a very young team, do you feel some responsibility to step up?
A: Definitely. I feel a little pressure, but that's good and I knew that coming in. I knew we would be young when I committed here, so I just decided to take it as a great challenge. We won't be young forever, so we just need to continue to battle and grow this year and hopefully prove to people that just because we're young we can still be good.
Q: How are you enjoying Michigan? It's a big change for you.
A: I love it. It is definitely different. Coming back from winter break into the polar vortex was difficult, but I am getting used to it. Just throw on a jacket and it's all good. I really love Ann Arbor. All the energy and events going on, I don't think I would ever have been able to find that in California. There's so much going on, and you develop such great relationships with all the other student-athletes. It's a lot fun.
Q: Saying that, are you excited to go to California next week?
A: Yeah, I am very excited. My dad texted me last night saying it's 75 degrees, so I am excited about that. My parents are coming, and I have a lot of friends on the teams we will be playing. It will be fun and very tough competition. I'm nervous, but I think it will be really good for us. I think we just need to set a goal for each one of those difficult games, like making every pass a perfect pass or taking 20 shots in a half. I just think achieving those small goals will ultimately improve our game. If we can play with these team in California, we can definitely have a chance to play with and beat any other team on our schedule.

Yes, reds and whites can mix. It's 2012, grandpa. Get with the times.
Go ahead: try to explain to your less vino-inclined friends and family what a Wine Woot Off is. Watch as their eyes widen in horror while you describe queing up with a bunch of strangers to eagerly snatch up bottle after bottle in a 24-hour festival of wine gluttony. Then smile as they ask you again for the URL.

House on Isle of Raasay, Scottish Highlands, Scotland - Unspoilt Island Location, Perfect Base From Which to Explore Raasay and Skye
The Manse is a lovely, elegant, comfortable and well-equipped family home. Set in its own large grounds and with fabulous views across to the Cuillins on Skye, it is the perfect base from which to explore the island of Raasay and beyond. Whatever the time of year, Raasay has great beaches, walks and cycle routes, breathtaking scenery and stunning wildlife. The house has its own all-weather tennis court, well equipped games room and huge treehouse, ideal for children of all ages. Or, if you want a more leisurely experience, you can enjoy the views from a comfy sofa by an open fire.
About the Owner
0 Reviews
Activity and Interests
Raasay is one of the most beautiful islands in the Inner Hebrides. Tucked between the isle of Skye to the west and the Scottish mainland to the west, it is just 14 miles long and 4 miles wide. The sea is never far away on Raasay: it's a 10 minutes walk to North Bay beach but there are many other beautiful bays and beaches and inland lochs to explore all over the island.
Your journey to Raasay will take you through some spectacular scenery. Inverness is the closest airport but there are also budget flights to Glasgow and Edinburgh. The journey by road from Inverness to the Raasay ferry at Sconser (via the Skye bridge) is 2.5 hours; from Glasgow or Edinburgh 5 hours. The Raasay ferry, operated by Caledonian MacBrayne, runs almost hourly in the summer, a great way to arrive on the island. The crossing takes 20 minutes and it's then just 5 minutes to the Manse.
Many visitors choose to scale Dun Caan, the distinctive flat topped mountain, but there are also inland and coastal walks to suit all tastes, forests and beaches to explore and a richness of flora and fauna rarely found in the British Isles. It is easy to cross to Skye on the ferry to climb the Cuillin ridge or stay on the island and go fishing, mountain biking or walking.
Further Details:
The nearby Raasay House and Activities Centre offers a wide range of day activities including climbing, abseiling, kayaking, coasteering and mountain bike hire. Its licensed bar and restaurant is only a 10 minute walk from the Manse. There is a small shop and post office in Inverarish village which sells local meat and vegetables and all basic supplies and the nearest Coop supermarkets are at Broadford or Portree on Skye.
Visitors come to the Inner Hebrides to experience the unique combination of mountains, water, space and light. If you want to get away from the pressures of urban life, this is the place for you. Wide open spaces, breathtaking views, wonderful wildlife and very few people. The Cuillins on Skye are easily accessible from Raasay as are all the other attractions of Skye such as castles, fairy pools, potteries and boat trips. There are several highly rated restaurants on Skye which are well worth a visit, including the Michelin-starred Kinloch Lodge and Three Chimneys. The Stein Inn and Loch Bay seafood restaurant in the north west of Skye are our particular favourites.

Nollie Front Flips?
Today we found a sweet steep roller at my hill that lead straight into some man made snow which was super soft. We tried some new inverts into it. I managed to land a few nollie front flips and they are a trick I hope to master. The only problem I have had is over rotation. On 3 occasions out of the maybe 7 tries (under rotated on my first try) I over rotated and either went over the nose or turned in to some weird back 180 out and slammed my face. Any tips on how to help this? Am I untucking too late and should unwind earlier? And help is appreciated.

When you are rotating you need to be in a tucked position. This way, when you spot your landing, you are able to un-tuck at the right time to slow your rotation and land flat. If you are just hucking and hoping for the best then it will always be inconsistent.
I do it and just land on my back. None of my friends were with me though so I don't know what was wrong. I feel like it's much harder to do it off something other than a jump the first time you do it.
What style are you going, tamedog? If you nollie too hard, you will over rotate, especially if you are off the end of a box, roller or whatever. If you tuck right, you'll get the rotation and it will be more controllable with a smoothly popped nollie. When you nollie, think about popping not just forward (this is what causes the "huck") but forward and up and using your tuck to get the rotation, not hucking it out. In short, tuck not huck.

Obama's FCC Looks to Tax the Internet
Jason Mick
August 28, 2012 2:04 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Alternatives considered are to tax text messages or have a higher flat fee on phone lines
So far an "internet tax" has remained a contentious issue. Efforts to tax the physical service
have flopped in Congress
and are not scheduled for discussion until at least 2014. Meanwhile, states
in forcing online retailers to
pay sales taxes
, with
some Congressional Democrats are calling for
a nation policy enforcing sales tax on the internet. Such efforts are generally tremendously unpopular among the general U.S. population who already feel overtaxed.
I. Taxing the Pipes
But President Barack Obama's iteration of the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) is nonetheless considering a tax on internet services, which would funnel money into the Connect America Fund -- the fund commonly referred to as the
president's "national broadband" plan
The Fund aims to connect rural regions and pump up service speeds in existing regions.
But to get there the FCC says it may need to levy a tax on existing services, a proposal it's
currently accepting public feedback
[PDF] on.
Telecommunications Act of 1996
, signed into law by President Bill Clinton (D), was the precursor to the current fund. It created the Universal Services Fund (USF), a fund paid for by taxes on phone bills. The program was a mild success; bring telephone service to many new regions. At first it was well funded and the taxes remained small, thanks to people making more (expensive) long distance calls in the 1990s.
As IM, emails, and video chats replaced long distance calls over the last decade, the FCC has had to raise phone bill taxes to keep up with the USF funding requirements -- including increases under President George W. Bush (R).
Late last year President Obama
installed a series of changes
, overhauling the fund as the "
Connect America Fund
" and changing its objective from increasing landline telephone connections to increasing broadband internet connections. But the new program is in jeopardy as many people are ditching the landline and trimming their phone plans.
The FCC wants a new internet tax to make up for a dwindling funding from phone line taxes.

The FCC's proposed alternatives to the internet service tax include a tax on cell phone text messages, or changing over to a flat tax fee on each phone line (currently phone taxes are collected in a more Constitutionally friendly manner, only taxing interstate phone calls).
II. Plan Has Some Big Supporters
Julius Genachowski, commissioner of the FCC comments, "Today we propose three goals for contribution reform: efficiency, fairness, and sustainability. And we underscore that any reforms to the contribution system must safeguard core Commission objectives, including the promotion of broadband innovation, investment, and adoption."
Internet software service providers like Google Inc. (
) are receptive of the plan, saying it makes sense than taxing internet software services like Gmail. Writes Google in its response to the plan, "[Google] strongly supports expanding the [Universal Service Fund] contribution base to include broadband Internet access services."
"Saddling these offerings with new, direct USF contribution obligations [from internet software service providers] is likely to restrict innovative options for all communications consumers and cause immediate and lasting harm to the users, pioneers, and innovators of Internet-based services."
Google supports the proposal to "tax the pipes", but it won't likely be officially floated as this is an election year. [Image Source: Simon Norfolk]
Despite Google's enthusiasm for "taxing the pipes", others take quite the opposite perspective. Derek Turner, research director for
Free Press
comments to
The Hill
, "If members of Congress understood that the FCC is contemplating a broadband tax, they'd sit up and take notice. For folks who are thinking about adopting broadband, who have much lower incomes or don't value broadband as much—that extra dollar on the margins will cause millions of people... to not adopt. I don't anticipate that the chairman would move to adopt a drastic overhaul ahead of the election."
Indeed, in an election year the Obama administration will likely be wary of levying a new tax on U.S. consumers. Thus the decision of whether to pull the trigger on the new broadband tax will likely be made early next year by the next President -- be it Obama or Mitt Romney.

Brit car magazine AutoExpress has run an interesting intel report on the upcoming Audi A3. The piece includes several photoshop renders of 3-door and 5-door Sportback variants. And while it doesn't really break any new news intel, the piece does summarize all that is known thus far rather succinctly. In particular detail are a listing of engines and even hybrid and electric drivetrains.
It's a little known fact that the Audi S1 was supposed to be revealed nearly a year ago at the Paris Auto show. Paris organizers even listed the car as a headliner on the show website for a while but for some reason not shared wtih us, sources at Audi AG tell us the car was pulled from the mix. Several months later though in January, we had a chance to test drive a prototype A1 1.4
