The Disturbing Effect of Processed Foods on Our Children's IQs0
2 years
If you have younger children or grandchildren, this will be important information. A recent study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health found out something disturbing.
They found that kids who eat a lot of unhealthy fats, processed foods, and sugar can actually decrease their IQ as they get older. On the flip side, kids who ate nutrient rich foods showed an increase in their IQs as they got older.
If you've seen how many of the kids look these days you can guess they are not eating following a good eating plan. Some common habits I have observed last week are :
-10 year olds drinking giant Monster Energy Drinks (have you ever met a 10 year old that needed more energy?)
-sugar laden cereals and Pop Tarts for breakfast
-processed meats and cheese with crackers (the old Lunchable) for lunch
-microwave dinners
I'm sure you have observed several habits yourself that are causing are children to pack on the pounds. Now it appears we are making them dumber too?? Unacceptable.
I have a 9 year old boy, so I'm not going to act like he eats healthy all the time. We give hime a lot of the foods mentioned above (minus the energy drinks), but it is only every now and then. He would live off of donuts and McDonald's if he had his way. That's why he's not in charge.
My son eats pretty healthy most of the time, but he didn't get like that overnight. My wife and I started early getting them to eat healthy. So if your child does not become Jack LaLanne overnight, it is ok just stay the course and don't give up.
Parents, it starts with US. WE feed them. WE buy the groceries. And most of all they watch what WE eat.
Your kids will not die if they can't eat Cheetos. Kids will learn to like vegetables if that is the only option they have to eat. It is our job to find what vegetables they will eat and how to prepare them.
Refusing to eat a meal because it is not fried macaroni and cheese dipped in chocolate with a 40 ounce Pepsi is not going to kill them either. When you're really hungry, all of the sudden other foods get a little more attractive.
Eating unhealthy is a learned habit, but it can be unlearned. It is time to teach them how to eat healthy. And it all starts with us as parents.
Lead from the front, set the example, and don't give up. Your kids are worth the extra effort and so are you.
PS- I'm starting some fitness classes for kids very soon to help address some of these issues. More details will come soon.
The Two Exercises That Work The Fastest0
2 years
If you asked a group of fitness professionals, what exercise (without equipment) would get you in shape the fastest I would bet that most of them would mention burpees or hill sprints. If all you did was a combination of burpees and hill sprints, you would be in phenomenal shape. You know what else you would be?
Bored and miserable.
Those two exercises work so quickly because they are so strenuous and require a lot of effort. But this weekend, I discovered a way to incorporate both without the misery. Four words.
Redneck Slip N' Slide (or possibly Redneck Slip and Slide)
All a redneck slip and slide requires is a hill, tarps, water, and baby oil. Combine those elements and you have a recipe for awesome.
My "workout" for the day consisted of giving the kids a running push where I would sprint, give them a push, end up on my belly, and then I would jump back up on my feet. A burpee broken down into different stages.
I would get 4 or 5 kids going and then I would slide down myself. Then I would be at the bottom of the hill with kids needing my expert pushing abilities, so I would sprint back up.
It was so much fun! We did that for probably 2.5 or 3 hours. Time flew by and I had no idea what time it was.
But if you told me to go do burpees and run hills for 3 hours, I would have introduced you to some of my best cuss words I save for special occasions only. The lesson here is not to do burpees and hill sprints, even though they are awesome.
The lesson is find fun, safe, and effective movement that you enjoy and will stick to.
That is how our boot camps work. One of the most common compliments I get is, "I can't believe I actually enjoy exercise now!" That hits me right in the feels every time.
We have a few spots available for our New Member special. If you're looking for something that is fun, safe, and effective you can get unlimited boot camp for month for $99. It is good for any camp time or location (Huntsville and Madison). Check out www.HuntsvilleBootCamp.com
Who knows? Maybe one day you will be the one who actually enjoys working out.
How To Avoid Counting Calories0
3 years
In my last post I talked about The Dangers of FitBits and Food Labels. The main point was that it was a tedious and inaccurate way to try and watch your weight.
So what are you supposed to do instead? Let's start with a picture from Precision Nutrition, who I consider to be the go to source for nutrition information.
This seems like an extremely simple method, but you would be amazed at how well it works. You hopefully always have your hands with you, so no special tools are required. No measuring or weighing your food.
Bottom line-anyone can do this and it will work.
You may have to make some adjustments here and there. If you are still struggling to drop weight, you might need to cut down on a few carbs at some meals and/or take away the serving of fats at one meal.
If you are counting calories and measuring your food and it is working for you, there is no need to change! Don't fix what isn't broken. But if you are struggling and you need somewhere to start, this is what I would recommend.
What about tracking calorie burn from exercise? I wouldn't worry about that either. Instead, focus on an exercise program that you will stick to first.
Once you get to where you are doing some sort of movement 3 days a week, you can start addressing the need for a well rounded program. Including strength training, cardiovascular training, improving mobility, etc...
The simpler and more convenient you can make fitness and nutrition, the more successful you will be. Try the Precision Nutrition guidelines and focus on getting good, consistent movement as often as you can. When you get to where you need fine tuning, please let know and I will help any way I can.
The Dangers of Food Labels and FitBits0
3 years
Food labels can be extremely helpful as a guide to help you be more conscious of what you are putting into your body. But a study I read recently hinted they are not that great for calorie counting.
The study (the very fancily titled, "The accuracy of stated energy contents of reduced-energy, commercially prepared foods") found that certain foods had 8% more calories than the label said. The worst offenders were restaurants that had 18% more calories than reported.
FitBits, like reading food labels, are awesome. They really do motivate people to move more. Many a night my wife has held up bed time because she is marching in place while brushing her teeth to get to the elusive 10,000th step.
But they are not as accurate when it comes to calorie burn. Studies show that FitBits overestimate calorie burn by 10-15%.
Both of these seem like marginal percentages, but if you are trying to track your calories it can make a big difference. If your caloric intake is 15% off and you think you are burning 15% (FYI-Treadmills and ellipticals are not accurate either on calorie burn) more than you think, that could be a reason you are not losing weight.
Let's say you are on a 2000 calorie plan. You have tracked every little thing accurately, but the 15% food label difference adds 300 calories to your day. You workout and instead of burning 600 calories, you and up burning 500 instead. You have an extra 400 calories per day right there.
An extra 400 calories a day will add 41.7 pounds of fat to your body per year. This is a bit of an extreme example, but my main point is that accurately tracking calories consumed and calories burned is tough with a dietitian's help.
So what is the solution? I will cover that in my next blog.
Eggs or Egg Whites?0
3 years
by JoeMartinFitness in Health, Healthy eating
I had a lot of time on hands this weekend pondering the meaning of life while I was dressed as Richard Simmons. I got to thinking about eggs and all that they have done for us.
-They united a country after Humpty Dumpty's unfortunate fall.
-They have provided children with the sheer joy of a good old fashioned egging.
-People have been walking cautiously on their shells for decades.
-Their shells have given us a template for paint
There is just so much the mighty egg has done.
So why have we turned on the egg? We villify the egg one year, only to come back the next year and say eggs are ok again.
I am here to tel you once and for all that the egg is good, nay great. How do you think it got the name the Incredible Edible Egg? Now the only thing we need to figure out is, whole egg or just the egg whites?
For me, this one is easy as well. Whole egg baby!
But you say that the yolk has all the fat, calories, and cholesterol. It also has all the good nutrients too (13 good ones to be exact, while the egg white just has protein). Eggs are also a great source of choline (helps with brain function and memory). A recent study found that 90% of Americans do not get enough choline.
Shouldn't you be concerned with eating the cholesterol? That is the old way of thinking, these days we know that dietary cholesterol does not do much to increase your blood cholesterol levels.
One more fact for the whole egg argument. A recent study had some participants eat 2 whole eggs while the other participants ate a bagel (which meant they were taking in the same amount of calories). In 8 weeks they found that the egg group had 65% great weight loss and a 34% decrease in the waistline.
Note-Whole eggs do not count in chocolate or Cadbury form.
This drives me nuts!0

I was speaking to a group not too long ago and I came to the potentially dangerous "Are there any questions?" part of the talk. I have had some blush inducing moments there, so I always get a little nervous.
But this time, it was not blush inducing. It was more anger/frustration inducing. A guy stood up and said he didn't have a question, more of a comment.
He said "Well what you are talking about is all well and good, but we can't all be successful."
What??? It drives me crazy when people say stuff like that!
You may not be able to have 6 pack abs when you are 60 years old or run a 5k in 15 minutes, but you can do better than you are now. If you start with a negative attitude, then I guess you are right. You won't be successful, walking around with a self defeatist attitude all the time.
Things are not that bad! My wife is a nurse and she deals with a lot of older patients. She met a patient one time that had let herself go to the point that she probably be bed ridden for the rest of her life. This person is not that old, but she is facing what I would consider a nightmare because she neglected her health for so long.
Don't you think she would trade anything she has to be in a body that could move? A body where she can take care of herself? I'm sure she wishes she would have taken a few more walks and made better food choices, while she still had it in her to do so.
Don't let that be you.
Are you healthy enough to move? Then you can be successful and you can reach your goal.
Someone in a hospital bed is wishing they could do the things that you take for granted. Stop doubting yourself and start helping yourself.
Here is your action step. Do one thing today that gets you closer to your goals. Whether it is big or small, do something to move towards your goals. Repeat this process every day and imagine where you could be in a month, a year, ten years.
Are you always late? It might be symptom of something else0

I know this person that was late to boot camp almost every time. Somewhere a person is reading this e-mail and wondering if I am talking about them.
Since they are late so often, I asked them one time why she was late every single time since we start at the same time every day. She explained to me that one time it took her 5 minutes to get to class, so now that is how long she thought of it taking.
Turns out she was 5 minutes away under perfect conditions. No traffic, not stopping at any lights, etc... She had never really thought about it before and she has since ended her tardy to the party streak.
Now one person really knows I am talking about her.
The point of this is not to be on time, although that is important too. The main thing I want you to remember is to never compare yourself to anyone else. Even if that person is you.
Over the years I have had several women tell me what they did to lose weight the last time. Most of them start with "When I was 22 I (insert diet or exercise program) and got great results really quickly. Not sure why this is taking so long. What am I doing wrong?"
The majority of the women in my classes are 35 and older, have kids, and work full time jobs. That is a completely different situation from a 22 year old with less responsibility, stress, hormone changes, etc...
Even if you are doing everything right, it might take awhile! Don't try to compare yourself to that 22 year old you, she is completely different.
Focus on making changes, not comparisons. What can you do today to get closer to your goal?
If you lost an ounce, you are on your way.
If you worked out once this week, it's a start.
If you drank water instead of your usual sweet tea, great job!
You are looking for progress, not perfection. Stay the course, avoid comparison, be positive, and you will get there. You might even be on time 🙂
What kills more people than hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods combined?0
3 years
by JoeMartinFitness in Exercise
Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes get a lot of news coverage when they occur, but do you know what kills more people annually than all of those events combined?
Heat waves.
I know it seems like 2 weeks ago it was 20 degrees, but the heat is here and you need to be ready.
Some warning signs to look for are: weakness, dizziness, muscles cramps, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and vomiting. You are in danger of a heat stroke, heat exhaustion, or in my case you are probably doing public speaking.
If you feel yourself succumbing to the heat, immediately stop, get to a cool place, and drink some water.
Here are a few other tips for you to follow:
Get acclimated
The body can quickly become overwhelmed when you are not used to the heat and humidity. If you're like many people, you go from an air conditioned house, to an air conditioned car, to an air conditioned job.
You can't expect your body to handle the extreme demands of exercising in this mess around here right away. Getting fully acclimated to the heat can take 2-3 weeks, so be prepared to slow your pace.
You need to drink fluids all day long this time of year, not just down a glass of water right before you head out. If you are exercising for more than an hour, it is a good idea to have a sports drink to replace electrolytes.
There is nothing like a nice bowl of steaming hot, oatmeal after a morning workout in 90 degree weather. Not too appetizing is it?
Anyone who exercises or works outdoors will tell you the heat has a negative effect on appetite. You will have to consciously monitor your eating habits to make sure you are getting enough fuel for your workouts.
This is a good time to increase your fruit and vegetable intake. Not only will it help you get more nutrients and vitamins, but will also help with hydration because of their water content.
Timing is everything
The best times to exercise during the hot months are before 7am or after 6pm. This doesn't fit everyone's schedule, but if you can avoid the hottest parts of the day you will be much better off.
The best thing to wear is something light (in color and weight) and breathable. Or at the very least switch from jeans to jorts.
My son rode his bike yesterday and found out that helmets really keep that heat in. Whenever you take a break from biking, make sure to take your helmet off so your head can breath.
Wearing a hat and sunglasses is a good way to get extra protection and prevent those nasty, eye squinting headaches.
It won't improve your performance but it will help prevent growths on your body, which is nice. Also, sunburned skin can't get rid of heat as efficiently and you can become overheated much easier.
For gingers only:
There is no such thing as a tan ginger, stop trying. All you will get is more freckles, a sunburn, and then skin cancer.

-Know what a serving size is, you are probably exceeding it (A single serving of wine is 4 ounces. I've seen the wine glasses that are out there, many of them are closer to 20 ounces)
-Pour 4 ounces of water into your wine glass and mark where a single serving is (Cry at how little that really is)
-Visit ChooseMyPlate.gov
-People who live to be in their 100's have two things in common. Moderation and optimism
-Why do we overeat? We are hardwired to eat as much as we can; we seek out sugar, fat, and salt; sugar and salt were traditionally hard to come by; now they are EVERYWHERE
-Find an alternative to each emotion that causes you to overeat
-Call a friend just to talk, get a pedicure, get out of the house, just do something that breaks the cycle of your emotional eating.
-There is no guarantee you will start losing weight right away
-My sister (the lecturer's sister) took exactly 1 year of strict, healthy eating before she lost a SINGLE pound
-She has now dropped 30 pounds total in the past few months
-You HAVE to keep eating healthy. The only alternative is to give up. If nothing else you will be much, much healthier
- Some healthy eating habits: 1. Pay more, eat less 2. Cook your food 3. Eat meals not snacks all day 4. Eat at a table 5. Don't eat alone (you tend to eat more) 6. Eat slowly
-Some tips for healthy eating at home: 1. Cook enough for 1 portion each person 2. If you are cooking enough for the week, get the food you are eating that night out and immediately pack the rest up 3. Don't sample while cooking dinnerIf you have trouble with sampling, put in a toothpick or chew gum 4. serve from the stove, not the table 5. Don't clean your kids' plates for them, throw it out
-There is something called Recession Induced Obesity
-The fast food $.99 options increase during bad economic times
-Tufts University found that if a person eats out ONE time during the week they will have trouble maintaining their weight
-The average American eats out NINE times a week
-In 2009 Americans spent more money on meals outside the home, than inside the home
-20% of all food is consumed in the car
-People who eat out consume on average: 300 more calories; 19 more grams of fat; 400 mg of sodium than they would at home
-Bottom line: the more you cook and eat at home the better off you will be

Teck Resources Ltd. is diversifying further into oil sands mining through the $435-million acquisition of SilverBirch Energy Corp., its partner in the massive Frontier project in the resource-rich Athabasca region of Alberta.
The deal signals Vancouver-based Teck's goal to mine more than its main metals of copper, coal and zinc at a time when commodity prices across the board are volatile amid escalating concerns of another major global economic slowdown.
Investors worry commodities consumption will drop as a result of Europe's ongoing debt crisis, a stagnant U.S. economy and growing signs that China's economy is slowing.
Teck is hoping to balance its resource portfolio by streamlining its oil sands assets through the purchase of Calgary-based SilverBirch, its 50-per-cent partner in the Frontier project.
The move gives Teck full ownership of Frontier, which is expected to produce 2.8 billion barrels over the life of the project, and provides it with more flexibility to potentially pursue a project partner to help fund the huge cost, estimated at about $23-billion over four phases.
"This transaction strengthens the Frontier project," Teck chief executive officer Don Lindsay said in announcing the transaction on Monday. "The ownership structure is simplified, our exposure to oil sands leases not amenable to mining is reduced."
Teck also has a 20-per-cent interest in the Fort Hills oil sands mining project in Alberta, with Total E&P Canada Ltd. and Suncor Energy each holding about 40 per cent. SilverBirch was created when Total bought UTS Energy Corp.'s stake in Fort Hills and put UTS's other projects into the new smaller company.
Teck, once best known as a producer of zinc, has been moving into other commodities in recent years as part of an ongoing diversification strategy. That includes building new copper mines in places such as Chile and its now-infamous deeper move into coal in 2008 with the $14-billion purchase of Fording Canadian Coal Trust, during what turned out to be the eve of the global financial crisis.
The company has since bounced back, helped by the dramatic recovery in commodity prices, and continues to diversify with an eye to what's in demand in China, the world's largest consumer of commodities.
To buy SilverBirch, Teck will pay $8.50 per share in cash and one share of a new company, SilverWillow Energy Corp., that will hold SilverBirch's in situ assets, which are those drilled and not mined with trucks and shovels.
Teck will contribute $25-million in working capital to the new company, as well as its 50-per-cent interest in several oil sands leases it now jointly owns with SilverBirch.
Teck shares fell 2 per cent on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Monday as investors appear to worry about the huge price tag of the project, which breaks down into an estimated $14.5-billion in its first two phases, and $8.4-billion for the last two.
Still, some analysts believe the investment will pay off, particularly if Teck brings on a deep-pocketed partner.
"We would tend to view the acquisition as a good use of cash for the company," Dahlman Rose & Co. analyst Anthony Young said in a note on Monday.
"While it will be an extremely long time period before these assets begin to produce any cash flows or meaningful returns to investors, we believe that management is setting the stage for the company to have a significant presence in the energy markets, over the long term."
Frontier is expected to produce 74,000 barrels per day of bitumen in 2021, rising to more than 277,000 barrels per day by 2030.
SilverBirch CEO Howard Lutley said the timing was "appropriate" to unload the Frontier project, and brings value to the company's shareholders.
SilverBirch was not expected to be able to handle the huge cost of building Frontier, and the company said it began a global strategic review of its operations last year.
Its shares jumped 33 per cent on the TSX Venture Exchange on Monday, which was beyond the offer's price, suggesting investors believe a higher bid is possible.
Still, many analysts aren't convinced.
"Given that Teck is buying out its partner, we believe the possibility of a second bidder on SilverBirch is very limited," said Desjardins Securities analyst John Hughes, also noting that Teck currently owns about 9 per cent of SilverBirch.
If the Teck offer is approved, the deal is expected to close in April.

Radio ads pressure Reichert to vote for abortion bill he already supports
Posted by Jim Brunner
U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert is one of several Republican lawmakers being targeted in radio ads by a Christian conservative group urging Congress to pass broader restrictions on taxpayer funding of abortions.
The ads, running for a week on local conservative and Christian stations, might give the impression that Reichert is wavering on the abortion issue.
Yet just recently, abortion-rights activists protested outside Reichert's Mercer Island headquarters because of his recent votes to deny federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
And in fact, Reichert voted last week for the new abortion-funding restrictions that the new radio ads are promoting.
What gives?
It turns out the sponsors of the new anti-abortion ads were a little confused.
Connie Mackey, president of the Family Research Council Action PAC, said the group had been unaware of Reichert's vote on the latest abortion funding restrictions, contained in H.R. 1232.
"We should be very clear that we were wrong on that," Mackey said.
A top priority for abortion foes, H.R. 1232 targets tax credits that the new health care law created to help people buy private health insurance. The bill would prohibit the credits from being used to subsidize abortions, essentially widening the current federal ban on direct funding of abortion. Critics say it would turn the IRS into "abortion cops."
As a member of the House Ways & Means committee, Reichert voted last week to move the measure to the full House.
Reichert spokeswoman Amanda Halligan said Reichert "has serious concerns with any legislation that would use taxpayer dollars to fund this procedure, save an exception in cases of rape, incest or where the life of the mother would be endangered."
Despite the confusion over Reichert, Mackey said the ads will continue. The spots, running on KTTH AM, KGNW AM and KCMS FM, don't actually criticize Reichert, they just urge listeners to tell him to support the abortion restrictions.
The ads play the voice of longtime anti-abortion crusader, former Congressman Henry Hyde, who calls the abortion debate part of a "mortal conflict between a culture of death and a culture of life," adding, "today, we must choose sides."
The ads urge voters to call Reichert's office.
Even if he seems to be largely on their side, "we thought he might need a little pressure to stick with us on this vote," Mackey said.
You can't blame anti-abortion groups for being a little suspicious of Reichert. He's spent years navigating a cautious political course on abortion-related issues.
He has repeatedly opposed federal funding for abortions and has been targeted by pro-choice groups as an enemy of family-planning and comprehensive sex education.
But Reichert also has angered abortion foes with his support for embryonic stem-cell research and other votes. In 2007-2008, he voted with the National Right to Life Committee just 42 percent of the time.

Two ex-Donald Trump opponents, two speeches aimed at Hillary Clinton
Cleveland – Two former Donald Trump opponents were summoned to speak at Tuesday's installment of the Republican National Convention. And both spent more time attacking Hillary Clinton than boosting the GOP nominee.
After all, there's nothing that seems to unite the fractured GOP more than the New York Democrat.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson directed his message to the Trump skeptics in the convention hall and watching at home. Refusing to back Trump, he said, will result in far more than another Clinton in the White House.
"They're not using their God-given brain to think about what they're saying. It won't just be eight years. She'll be appointing people who will affect us for generations. And America may never recover."
And New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie used his primetime speech to excoriate Clinton's record as Barack Obama's secretary of state, asking the delegates after each attack: "Is she guilty or not guilty?"
"Guilty," the crowd bellowed.

* Mortgage rates rise broadly with higher bond yields
* Refinancing index falls to lowest since early January
* Purchase applications at weakest since November (Adds details from latest data, link to graphic)
NEW YORK, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Refinancings' share of U.S. mortgage applications shrank to its lowest level since late 2008 at the peak of the global credit crisis, as home borrowing costs remained elevated in line with bond yields, the Mortgage Bankers Association said on Wednesday.
The share of requests from homeowners to refinance a mortgage fell to 46.2 percent in the week ended Feb. 17. This compared with 46.9 percent in the previous week and was their smallest share since November 2008, the Washington-based industry group said.
The MBA's seasonally adjusted index on refinancing activity dipped 1 percent to 1,227.6, its weakest level in six weeks. A year ago, it stood at 2,267.4.
Refinancing applications declined with a pickup in mortgage rates as U.S. Treasury yields rose last week following Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's testimony before Congress, where she hinted chances of a rate hike at an upcoming policy meeting.
Interest rates on 30-year, fixed-rate conforming mortgages, the most widely held type of U.S. home loan, averaged 4.36 percent, up from 4.32 percent the prior week. It was up about half a percentage point from a year earlier.
Conforming loans are those with balances of $424,100 or less and qualify for guarantees from federal mortgage agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Mortgage rates on other types of home loans that the MBA tracks were broadly higher from the prior week.
Higher borrowing costs also reduced applications on home purchases.
The MBA's seasonally adjusted gauge on purchase application activity, a proxy for future home sales, fell 2.8 percent to 216.9 in the latest week, which was the lowest since November. A year ago, it was 217.9.
The group's barometer on overall mortgage activity on a seasonally adjusted basis decreased 2.0 percent to 371.5 in the latest week and was down from 521.5 a year earlier.

Sam Walton: Made In America by Sam Walton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Sam Walton's book was much more pleasant to read than I thought it would be. Written in the years before his death, the book gives a brief history of Wal-Mart and also serves as an ode to Walton's self-made principles. I felt that a large part of the book was spent answering his critics — those who called him cheap and who thought Wal-Mart could have treated their employees better — and at times the book came off as defensive.
I grew up going to Wal-Mart (Wally World as my mom still calls it whenever we're in Great Bend) and now I live in Wal-Mart's playground, so it was interesting (and humbling) to see how the company came to fruition. I was also surprised to learn that the Topeka store that my family frequented when I was in high school was one of only two HyperMart concept stores in the country.

Not Gunner happen
Birmingham drew with Arsenal at the Emirates, but Matt Le Tissier says lightning won't strike twice.
Last Updated: 22/02/08 1:47pm
Birmingham v Arsenal
12.30pm, Saturday, Sky Sports 1
It's not been the greatest week for Arsenal after a 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester United and a 0-0 draw at home to AC Milan in the Champions League.
To be honest, I don't think they'll be too disappointed with going out of the FA Cup because that wasn't the highest priority for Arsene Wenger this season.
The manner of the defeat might have dented them a little bit, but I think they'll be more worried after only getting a draw in midweek.
Everything would have looked so much better if Emmanuel Adebayor had scored that open goal in injury time against Milan and every time I see a replay of it I wonder how he managed to miss.
For a man who is in such fantastic form, it was strange to see because I'd have put my mortgage on him scoring. There was talk of him having his shirt tugged but that's no excuse, it should have been a goal.
He's the main man for them at the moment after scoring in his last seven Premier League games and maybe he needs a little bit more help. But Arsenal are five points clear at the top of the league, so you can't really criticise them too much.
Without question, the Premier League now represents their best chance of silverware this season because it will be tough for them at the San Siro. I remember they got a 5-1 win on that ground against Inter in 2003, so they can take heart from that.
They're not completely out of the Champions League and have got the players to win away from home on the counter attack, but the Premier League looks like their best chance.
A five-point cushion is nice to have at this stage of the season and although they've got some tough games to come, they are playing with confidence, they are creating chances and if I was Arsene Wenger I'd be pretty confident.
Kolo Toure will be a big miss after he got injured against Milan because he's looked solid at the back with William Gallas.
Philippe Senderos will come into the side and I've always been a little wary of him; I'm not sure he's a top-drawer centre-back.
Don't get me wrong, he's not a bad player, but we're talking about a team at the pinnacle of the Premier League and he's maybe a little bit short of the quality needed to be a regular at Arsenal.
A tough week for the Gunners concludes with a trip to St Andrews to face a Birmingham side that haven't had a game for two weeks.
But while the Birmingham players might be a bit fresher, the gulf in quality between the two teams is sufficient for Arsenal to be able to overcome that.
Alex McLeish's side will take heart from the fact they got a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium earlier this year. On that day they dug in and made Arsenal work hard, but Wenger will think they should have won by two or three goals
I'm not sure Birmingham have got enough quality to reproduce that result and their home form hasn't been particularly stunning. They've only won one in seven at St Andrews and that's why they're sat on the brink of the relegation zone.
James McFadden was the big signing they brought in to boost their chances and I'm not sure if he's got enough quality to drag the club out of their current position on his own.
I was surprised at how much money they spent on him because he's not been that great in the Premier League, although he did well under McLeish for Scotland, but maybe a move to a new club will re-ignite him.
However, they do have enough decent players to get them out of trouble and I'd say they've got a better squad than the likes of Derby, Fulham and maybe even Sunderland.
I tipped Birmingham to stay up at the start of the season and I'm surprised they are so far down the table. However, I will stick by my prediction and say that they'll be alright in the end.
But while I think they survive, I don't think they'll get much out of the game on Saturday.
Le Tiss Predicts
AWAY WIN - I'll go for a 2-0 victory for Arsenal. They've got too much quality for Birmingham, who got away with a draw at the Emirates, but won't get away with anything at St Andrews.
Matt's Main Man
ALEXANDER HLEB - I always pick Cesc Fabregas when I write about Arsenal because he's such a fabulous player, so I'll go for somebody else this time. I'll pick Alexander Hleb because he looks to have come to terms with the Premier League now and has emerged as the player we all hoped he could be. He took a while to settle, but he is clearly a very, very useful footballer.

Long Beach Memorial introduced Tuesday a new addition to the hospital, The Center for Women's Pelvic Health, that will offer comprehensive treatment options for women with pelvic problems that often go untreated because they are assumed to be caused by aging.
"Pelvic health issues are more common than one might think," said Jocelyn Craig, M.D., urogynecologist, Center for Women's Pelvic Health, Long Beach Memorial, in a statement. "Any woman challenged with a pelvic health disorder knows that these issues can easily affect quality of life, but most women don't know that many of these issues are treatable."
According to Long Beach Memorial, women of all ages are apt to suffer from bladder or pelvic floor disorders (PFD) caused by various factors such as childbirth, heavy lifting, menopause and aging and other chronic medical and neurological conditions. While problems are more common with age, young women can also be affected.
"The Center for Women's Pelvic Health at Long Beach Memorial offers patients a comprehensive blend of community and hospital-based programs to bring relief for these conditions," continued Dr. Craig.
Non-surgical treatments, such as medication and pelvic muscle rehabilitation, will be offered, along with minimally invasive surgical procedures, according to the announcement. Patients will receive personalized treatment plans and will be advised and treated by skilled pelvic surgeons, including fellowship-trained urogynecologists and PFD-experienced urologists, gynecologists and colorectal specialists.

WWE Over the Limit: Possible Roles for Superstars Not Booked for the PPV TonightMay 22, 2011
WWE Over the Limit: Possible Roles for Superstars Not Booked for the PPV Tonight
Hello, Buzzers. Buzz is back.
Over the Limit is few hours away. It seems that WWE has already arranged the matches and the card seems to be final.
Even though WWE has always had the tradition of making some last-minute additions to matches during the event, but I guess it seems a bit impossible to think about it this time. I mean we already have eight matches which is a good number for a PPV.
However, as I looked at the event, I realized that several superstars will miss the event including some notable and major stars.
In the next slides, I'll take a look at some superstars missing and how they might get involved in the card whether in a match or via interference.
(All photos are courtesy of WWE.com)
Mark Henry
Before he moved to Smackdown, he was nothing more than a secondary superstar doing some jobbing duties most of the time.
However, as soon as he got drafted from RAW, he turned heel and became somehow relevant again. Not only this, but he's now appearing in high-profile matches and trying to get himself a World Title match. He's been involved in promos and matches with Christian and Randy Orton.
It seems that WWE are giving him another brief push. Maybe Henry is getting close to retirement? Maybe this will be one of his final major stories? Nobody knows.
Possible involvement tonight
Anyway, he seems to be missing this event as he hasn't been booked for any match. Would he be in a dark match? Maybe.
Will he interfere in the World Heavyweight Championship match between Orton and Christian? I highly doubt it unless WWE want to end the match in a controversial way.
But still, we should keep a close eye on him.
Just like this photo, Sheamus might be having the same feeling as we head into Sunday night's event. Interestingly enough, the Celtic Warrior hasn't been missing any PPV (except for Wrestlemania 27) since months.
Sheamus started this year horribly with a series of losses. Things became worse for him when he confronted a returning Triple H just to get pedigreed on the announcers' table.
After being part of the main event scene during the majority of last year, he dramatically dropped to the mid-card section this year.
He was able to recover for a while and win the US Title after beating Daniel Bryan. But he lost few weeks later against Kofi Kingston after he got drafted to Smackdown.
However, it seems that he's briefly back to the main-event scene for now. Just like Mark Henry, he's been part of promos and matches with Christian and Randy Orton.
Possible involvement tonight
Will he be booked tonight for a match? I don't think so. Some people might say that he could get a US Title rematch against Kofi kingston but I highly doubt it.
I mean the whole match at Extreme Rules was arranged so that they can move the championship belt to RAW.
But anyway, I'll be aware of a possible appearance by him during the World Heavyweight Championship match. Again, I don't think he'll interfere unless WWE want to end the match with a swerve.
It's unfair to say that Kharma hasn't made an impact after her debut because she certainly did. Most fans are now looking forward to the Divas matches because they expect her appearance after every match.
However, sooner or later, Kharma will make her debut match and these post-match attacks will come to an end very soon.
Many people had their own analysis to Kharma's run until now. Some were lost whether she's face or heel while others were wondering why she was attacking all those Divas.
Kharma, in my opinion, isn't about being face or heel. She's more about creating a path of destruction and crushing all Divas in the process.
The blond doll she destroyed in the vignettes seemed to be a reference to most women in this division. Or it might be a reference to a specific Diva and I'll discuss this more below.
Moving on, there's something common between all the Divas attacked by Kharma until now. They are all former Divas Champions or current (Bella).
Michelle McCool, Maryse, Alicia Fox and Eve are all former champions. Technically, Layla might not be considered a former Champion as McCool was the actual Divas Champion.
But Layla was still the self-processed champion and defended the title on several occasions, just like McCool did when they were co-Women's Champions.
The only former champions left are Melina and Natalya. We still have to wait and see if she'll attack them. Mickie James and Jillian were also champions but unfortunately, they're not employed by WWE anymore.
The only Diva who was able to escape the attack more than once was Kelly Kelly. Even when Kharma had the chance to attack her, she only flicked her forehead and left.
I'll be writing an article about Kharma and the Divas Division later this week.
Possible involvement tonight
Anyway, tonight, Kelly will face Brie Bella for the Divas Championship. I guess that Kharma's appearance after the match is a forgone conclusion.
Will Kelly win the title tonight? Will she finally be Kharma's victim after the match? Was the blond doll a reference to Kelly? Will this be Kharma's first rivalry?
Whatever happens, we still have to wait for Kharma's debut match which doesn't seem to be happening tonight.
Cody Rhodes
Now we're getting more serious. Cody Rhodes has become a major superstar on Smackdown, and his appearances on the blue brand are now regular.
The new twisted gimmick seems to be going on pretty well with him, and it sure elevated his status among the WWE roster after the Dashing gimmick made him relevant at first. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be having any match on this card.
Rhodes has come out of a great rivalry against Rey Mysterio that included an awesome victory at Wrestlemania. I know he lost at Extreme Rules but he still benefited from this feud.
I like the new promos he had in the past few weeks where he had two men hand out paper bags to the crowd.
However, I hope he doesn't spend most of his time doing this without being involved in a major rivalry. It will be interesting to see how things will go for now in his current program with Ted DiBiase.
Are they going to reunite? Or was their promo a one-time deal only?
Possible involvement tonight
As I said, Cody Rhodes isn't booked for the show. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any match that he might interfere in, so we might not see him tonight. However, a short promo won't be surprising.
I hope he feuds against Randy Orton in the future.
Alberto Del Rio
I won't lie here, but what made me write this article is Alberto Del Rio. This guy seems to be unlucky as he's always the superstar to be mostly affected by the occurrence of any sudden event.
He was supposed to have a match against Rey Mysterio, but due to John Morrison's injury, Mysterio had to face R-Truth instead. This left Del Rio with no opponent to face.
Furthermore, his destiny to win the World Title might have been delayed more than once in the past due to unwanted events too.
I guess we don't need to go through his short history and how he was one of the fastest rising superstars.
The debate about whether he deserves to be pushed or not should end by now because he proved to be a deserving superstar. The new discussion now is when he's going to win the World Championship.
Possible involvement tonight
Even though Del Rio isn't booked for any match tonight, but his ongoing rivalry against Mysterio seems to be heating up again. So the only possible involvement I expect for him is in Mysterio's match against R-Truth. Or he might have a short promo and remind us who he is. I hope not because it will be meaningless.
I guess a future program against John Cena isn't far away. But will it happen soon? Or will he feud against another superstar first? Will he get a match tonight? Will he have a brief promo?
Will he attack Cena after his match? I don't know, but one thing I'm sure about and that is he'll definitely make a notable appearance tonight.
Only time will tell us what's next for the Mexican Aristocrat, or as RAW's anonymous GM likes to call him, the crown jewel of the WWE Draft.
Other Superstars
The superstars below aren't booked for the show. Some of them were involved in main story lines while others weren't missing any PPV in the last couples of months. But, with the exception of Jack Swagger, they don't seem to be getting involved in any segment tonight.
Kofi Kingston: He hasn't missed any PPV in a year (with the exception of Hell in Cell). Unfortunately, he might not find a spot in this card.
Jack Swagger: It will be interesting to see if he'll play any role in the Lawler/Cole match. Other than this, I don't see any other role for him.
Ted DiBiase: His appearance might depend on the availability of Cody Rhodes at the show tonight.
Daniel Bryan: Will he appear in Chavo Guerrero vs. Sin Cara match? WWE doesn't seem to be taking him seriously these days, so I doubt it.
Drew McIntyre: I thought he was going to have a better run after Elimination Chamber. Unfortunately, nothing changed after the PPV and he doesn't seem to be doing anything tonight.
Dolph Ziggler: Ever since he left Smackdown and moved to RAW, he's been going downhill pretty fast. The new look made things worse for him, I guess. I don't even know if he's considered for any possible feud in the near future.
The Great Khali: Will he have another segment with Jinder Mahal?
Happy First Anniversary
This is a bit out of topic, but May 20 (two days ago) marked the first anniversary of my debut article on Bleacher Report. I know this is a bit irrelevant but I couldn't help not to mention it here. I've enjoyed writing articles and getting to know some new people on this site.
Rest in Peace, Randy Savage
Of course, I can't end this slide show without mentioning one of my favorite superstars ever, Randy Savage.
R.I.P, Macho Man. You'll be missed.
The End
All thoughts an comments are welcome.

Musicians rarely stay relevant after a 25 years long career. They mostly tend to use their early classic albums as material for their occasional tours and call it a day. Tony Macalpine is a rarity. He surely left an important mark on instrumental music, yet instead of resting on his laurels he continues to push his creativity. With this new solo album, MacAlpine reached some extra high peaks in both creativity and shredding skills.
This self-titled album contain some highly complex compositions with dozens of rich melodies and endless layers of heavy riffs. MacAlpine used for this album an eight string guitar that boost the metal spirit quite a bit. Actually, this is probably his heaviest album to date. The melodies on this album have a quite progressive timbre. This album doesn't contain the old school neoclassical approach MacAlpine had in the '80's, but instead has a different progressive approach with a solid focus on deep harmonies. If you'll deeply analyze some of the melodies here, you'll notice constant scale changes in extremely short periods. This album could have been played even 2x slower and still sounds sophisticated, unlike quite many shredding albums!
The sound production is great as well. The guitars have a powerfully bright and heavy tone that perfectly suits both the crushing riffs and the catchy harmonies. Drums are precise and gives a strong background for MacAlpine's guitar extravaganza and are perfectly mixed with the popping bass.
Overall, this is in my opinion one of MacAlpine's best albums and the best metal album for 2011 (which was quite a weak year in my opinion). Go buy this amazing album and enjoy every moment.
Worth checking tracks are: 'Ölüdeniz', 'Dream Mechanism', 'Angel Of Twilight' and ' Summer Palace'.

They had me take a quick vision test and I discovered it not only hurt (left one), but it did not see well. I ended up going to an opthamologist, who told me I had Optic Neuritus. I was then sent to a neurologist who let me know I probably had MS. I had no idea what that meant, got an RX for prednisone (oral). After several weeks my eye improved, but not 100%. Had an MRI and was told I had MS. All this transpired quickly; like 1 month.
I started betaseron in 92 (when it 1st came out), quit in late 95, because I hated the flu-like side effects. Started copaxone in 96 and I am still on it. Added Novantrone to my meds in 2004. I have had 7 Novantrone infusions and let my Neuro know I did not want to continue it and stopped. I take baclofen every 4 hours so that I can use my legs, kind of. If I miss a baclofen dose, I know it. Oh yeah, I take Paxil everyday to keep my mood stable.
NOTE: July 2007 I had a baclofen pump implanted and I no longer take oral baclofen.
I'm in a powerchair, but I can use my rollator for short distances (like 30 feet). I use a scooter and Dial-A-Ride (ADA transportation) for most appointments. I use my truck (small truck) and rollator for dentist and haircut type appointments (local stuff).
NOTE: As of 2007 I no longer drive at all; it is too dangerous for me.
I'm 47 (2007), married (2nd time). I have two children (1st wife), 15 and 21. My wife is a fraud-investigator and I am a SW developer who is on his 5th month of STD, LTD is coming and I am worried about that (as of today 5/10/2007 I am LTD).
I wish the Web was around when I was DX'd.
Oh yeah, I am right handed and that hand dances on the keyboard so I now type one-handed (left) and use Microsoft's.'sticky keys' to help out with the shift key (and other special keys).

Developed at the beginning of WWII by engineers Peter Dejongh and Otto Brandenberger of the Fuller Construction Company, the quonset hut derives its name from the location of the Fuller production facility near Quonset Point, Rhode Island. Icons of military presence, quonset huts were designed as prefabricated shelters that could be easily shipped anywhere in the world and readily assembled by untrained troops in the field. The arched form of the quonset was lightweight and strong, composed of a ribbed metal shell with wood framed endwalls. Over 170,000 quonset huts were produced by the end of WWII... and many of these rugged structures still survive today in new lives as shops, warehouses, stores, and housing.

OnePlus 5T review: Hands-on
Your advice for my site
Hy there, I would really appreciate it if youz would help me in my career path! My first site I have built(modified many times) is this html> a href="click here">site /a> /html>
Please could you give me advice on it?
Hmmm. Unsigned Active X controls.
Think I'll give it a miss.
for a poor beginner you are really very good arent you :[email protected]
what are unsigne active x controllers? I dont get any notification of these!
the quality of the logo is really poor. it needs changing!!
and what a nightmare of a fadein/out between home page and Hosting page. get rid of that. it takes ages and i cant stand it!!
Dont use redirects.
Dont use redirects such as .tk.
Its just your website in a frame, its not a domain and you arent fooling anybody.
Also if this is your first website I dont belive you when you siad you made it. Especialy with the BBC News Active X control in there.
I also dont belive you made all those flash/javascript games yourself.
You can at least credit the people you stole them from.
Wouldn't even load this end, from the comments it doesn't sound like that's a bad thing.
you must apply to them for permission. The BBC inspects the url you provide, to ensure that they're happy for their panel to appear on it. The official panel is red-bordered, and yours is in monochrome, which is puzzling. You have to enter into an agreement with the BBC when they consent to your use of their code, and part of it says you mustn't attempt to alter the appearance or size of the panel in any way.
I also think that the logo lets the site down - it looks rather amateurish.
Sites that are simply collations of links to other sites held together by the odd paragraph of text are always rather off-putting for me. Why don't you work on something original? You'll get far more satisfaction from it.
I did get perimision from bbc actually, they give you a choice of colours for the panel So i Dont know what people mean when they say that it doenst apear to be my site when they gave me the html source for the bbc news panel. Also, I created the site In dreamweaver which may give people the impression that it isnt mine. And I asked the site from which I took the games from, For permission to add the games. Thanks though, for the advice!
I advise many people on what their site looks like, and this one isn't the worst I've seen, but does need improvement.
Firstly, I do think the space for the "Search available domains" is too big. The graphics do not fit with the simple style of the surrounding objects. It seems too complicated, and I don't like the iFrame (the small box to make it a page within a frame) and think it's too off-putting. Try to keep it together in a concise and flowing form rather than white space everywhere. I know you can overcrowd it, but you can 'undercrowd' it too.
Secondly (and running with the last idea), the domain name. Of course, having a uniform address is useful to rattle off (w w w dot eazy webs dot tee kay), but I prefer to see the full address of the page in the address/location bar. That way I know I'm not being redirected to some virus-ridden corner of cyberspace. I'm sure I'm not in your site, but I'd still prefer to know what I'm looking at.
Thirdly, I agree with Tomleady, saying the transition effects are slow and annoying. It took ages to load the second page, then the transition takes place. Don't use them as people will then know the next page is loading and the browser hasn't locked up. Also, they're not too compatible with other browsers, so you'll mostly be using Internet Explorer users.
Fourth, If you use an element (a box or object) from someone else, use their name. I found the games great, but I was taken away from your site to play them. The only object with full credit was the BBC News box.
Fifth, Too many pages opened in a new page. This is useful for external sites, so yours is not lost, but as your site seems to include many external sites, maybe opening more pages in the current browser window might be a good idea (in other words, remove the TARGET= setting/attribute).
Lastly, the logo does seem a bit on the fuzzy side. This does lower the tone a bit, and the reflection on the name doesn't suit. Maybe sharpen the image to make it clearer, knock off the reflection and centre it up a bit. And take away the background rounded square while you're at it.
I hope this doesn't make me too picky, but it's just my six-penny's worth.

A SCARF was found wrapped around the neck of a woman whose body was found beside a swollen creek in Western Sydney on Wednesday.
The grisly discovery of Amesha Rajapakse's body at the rear of Absolute Waterfront Apartments Monarco, Bridge Rd, Westmead, at 7.30am has triggered a homicide investigation as Strike Force Mandaring try to piece together her last movements.
It is not known how she died or the type of injuries she suffered.
Ms Rajapakse's family members, including her distraught husband, were interviewed at Parramatta police station in the hope of providing vital clues.
They were too upset to comment as they left the station.
One staff member at the unit block said Ms Rajapakse's husband was a "complete mess".
He said police were knocking on almost every door of the 500-unit block, and half a dozen detectives and more than 20 uniformed officers remained at the scene at 6pm.
According to the building manager, Ms Rajapakse left the complex at 7.30pm on Tuesday.
She was seen on CCTV nervously pacing up and down a corridor and was also seen jamming the lock of the apartment complex with a scarf before heading outside. "All I can take from that is she didn't have her access card," the staff member said. It is not known if it was the same scarf found around her neck.
Ms Rajapakse, her husband and other family members are believed to have lived at the unit block for only a few months and are not listed as the unit's occupants.
The 31-year-old woman had inquired only two weeks ago about access to the gym and swimming pool of the upmarket block, which has two bedroom units renting for more than $1000 a week. "She was the nicest, most laid-back person ever," the staff member said. "She didn't seem to have a worry in the world."
With police unable to confirm if the death was suspicious, the female residents of the unit block were terrified. "A lot of women are extremely concerned," the staff member said.
After heavy rain the creek was running high and police working on the scene were up to their waists in water.

I had unprotected sex with my fiancee and 2 days or so I noticed that I had small red bumps on my penis head. Only noticed when I was flaccid and not when I was erected. The only thing I can think of is when I washed my penis I used soap and it burned a little bit. I'm thinking might an irritation due to the soap? But also during our intercourse I bled a little bit due being uncircumcised and forcing the penetration. I think I may have popped a vessel? We are both tested an STD free, so I'm kinda stunned.
Also, the bumps don't itch or have any feel. Just visual.

Read the Official Synopsis for the CW's New Show, RiverdaleNovember 27, 2016 - Author: admin - Comments are closed
The official synopsis for the CW's new series, Riverdale has been released. Starring Cole Sprouse, Camila Mendes, Lili Reinhart and KJ Apa, the show is influenced by the Archie Comic series.
In the series, "As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the recent, tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom, and nothing feels the same. Archie Andrews is still the all-American teen, but the summer's events made him realize that he wants to pursue a career in music — not follow in his dad's footsteps–despite the sudden end of his forbidden relationship with Riverdale's young music teacher, Ms. Grundy. Which means Archie doesn't have anyone who will mentor him — certainly not singer Josie McCoy, who is only focused on her band, the soon-to-be-world-famous Pussycats. It's all weighing heavily on Archie's mind — as is his fractured friendship with budding writer and fellow classmate Jughead Jones.
Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper is anxious to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she's not quite ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty's nerves — which are hardly soothed by her overbearing mother Alice aren't the only thing holding her back. When a new student, Veronica Lodge, arrives in town from New York with her mother Hermione, there's an undeniable spark between her and Archie, even though Veronica doesn't want to risk her new friendship with Betty by making a play for Archie. And then there's Cheryl Blossom…Riverdale's Queen Bee is happy to stir up trouble amongst Archie, Betty, and Veronica, but Cheryl is keeping secrets of her own. What, exactly, is she hiding about the mysterious death of her twin brother, Jason?
Riverdale may look like a quiet, sleepy town, but there are dangers in the shadows…"
Riverdale will premiere on the CW on January 26 at 9pm!

We enjoyed this hotel on Waikiki Beach. Friendly staff, good service; we would recommend it to others. Good restaurants within the hotel, on the pool level and also below at street level.
As far as location goes, nice easy access to the beach. Keep in mind it doesn't matter which hotel you stay at in this area you will encounter the homeless on the beach area, basically living in those "gazebo" things on Kuhio beach.
So back to the hotel: nice, comfortable. Elevators are great. Don't pay attention to the comments that others have written on the elevators. If you can figure these elevators out, you have no business being on vacation.
Don't let the "breakfast on the beach" be a big factor in your decision on choosing this hotel.
Helpful hint: the pool area has wifi, the rooms have wired Internet. But.....keep in mind a PS3 connected to LAN can function as a makeshift internet browser. :-)
We stayed on the upper floor on the "Diamond Head side" on the hotel. Great view of Diamond Head and the Ocean.
The balconies on the Diamond Head side are smaller than the other side, but the rooms are bigger on the Diamond Head side.
Thanks to the staff! Very pleasant stay. Mahalo!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

from Rolling Stone
Wall Street lobbyists are awesome. I'm beginning to develop a begrudging respect not just for their body of work as a whole, but also for their sense of humor. They always go right to the edge of outrageous, and then wittily take one baby-step beyond it. And they did so again last night, with the passage of a new House bill (HR 2827), which rolls back a portion of Dodd-Frank designed to protect cities and towns from the next Jefferson County disaster.
Jefferson County, Alabama was the most famous case – the city of Birmingham went bankrupt after being bribed and goaded into taking on billions of dollars of toxic swap deals – but in fact it was just one of hundreds of similar examples of localities being duped into suicidal financial deals by rapacious banks and financial companies. The Denver school system, for instance, got clobbered when it opted for an exotic swap deal pushed by J.P. Morgan Chase (the same villain in Jefferson County, incidentally) and then-school superintendent/future U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, that ended up costing the school system tens of millions of dollars. As was the case in Jefferson County, the only way out of the deal involved a massive termination fee that might have been even more destructive than the deal itself.
To deal with this problem, the Dodd-Frank Act among other things included a simple reform. It required the financial advisors of municipalities to do two things: register with the SEC, and accept a fiduciary duty to respect the best interests of the taxpayers they are advising.
Sounds simple, right? But Wall Street couldn't have that. After all, if companies are required to have a fiduciary responsibility to cities and towns, how in the world can they screw cities and towns? The idea was a veritable axe-blow to the banks' municipal advisory businesses.
So what did Wall Street lobbyists and trade groups like SIFMA (the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) do? Well, they did what they've been doing to Dodd-Frank generally: they Swiss-cheesed the law with a string of exemptions. The industry proposal that ended up being HR 2827 created several new loopholes for purveyors of swaps and other such financial products to cities and towns.
