Mutiny Gold receives first US$4m from Credit Suisse, Project ...

Pdf Tuesday, July 31, 2012 by John Phillips

(ASX: MYG) has now received a US$4 million first deposit on a non-interest bearing Commercial Agreement.

Importantly - the deposit is intended as the precursor to a wider Agreement which will supplement the project finance requirements for the development of the company?s high grade Deflector Gold Copper Deposit.

The impact for Mutiny is that the terms of the Agreement enables the company to continue escalating its project development - whilst concluding the ongoing Project Finance arrangements with Credit Suisse and other financial institutions.

Mutiny and Credit Suisse are now in negotiations for the Project Finance Loan for Deflector.

John Greeve, managing director of Mutiny, commented on the funding: ?This is a very positive move for Mutiny, as it moves to complete the financial platform for funding the development and mine operations at Deflector.

"This initial deposit is completely in line with our stated objective to minimise overly dilutive equity issues while progressing Deflector. The company continues to make extensive strides towards the total commercial funding package.?

Credit Suisse and Mutiny have already entered into an $11 million loan which enabled Mutiny to complete the acquisition of Deflector, conduct an extensive 15,000 metre drill program and advance its Feasibility Studies.

Bankable Feasibility Study delivers impressive metrics

A Bankable Feasibility Study has already identified that Deflector could earn an estimated Net Operating Cash Flow of $342 million - and that is just the start.

The key financial outcomes of the study provide key financial parameters of Deflector and they are impressive:
?
- Net Operating Cash Flow after debt (project finance) and taxes of $171 million
- EBITDA of $323 million;
- Net Profit of $171 million;
- NPV at 8% of $103 million;
- Capital costs for plant construction of $66 million;
- Capital Costs for mine construction of $21 million; and
- IRR of 43%.

The study paves the way for the development of the project at an initial production rate of 55,000 gold ounces equivalent (annual range 44,600 in year one to 61,612 gold ounces equivalent).

There is a forecast low average operating cash cost of $621 per gold ounces equivalent and an initial mine life of 7 years, with a net operating cash flow of $324 million and internal rate of return of 43%, with a forecast net profit of $171 million and a net present value at 8% of $103 million.

Japan's judo gold medal drought over

Japanese judo fans can relax: After three days of competition the country that invented the sport finally won a gold medal at the London Olympics, thanks to Kaori Matsumoto.

Fighting in the women's 57K division Monday, Matsumoto defeated Romanian Caprioriu in the final, using footwork to gain an advantage and eventually throw the Romanian for the victory.

The women's 57K bronze medals were won by American Marti Malloy and Automne Pavia of France.

Malloy's father, Marty, watched his daughter from the stands, where he was wearing a T-shirt with "Malloy" emblazoned on it, designed like a judo uniform.

"All I can ever remember about my daughter is her going to judo tournaments since she was 6," he said.

Malloy wasn't sure how he would reward his daughter but said there would definitely be celebrations.

"First I'm going to have a beer in her honor," he said.

Also in the stands was French President Francois Hollande, and Pavia was pleased he was there.

"He said he was a little disappointed (she didn't win gold) but was still very happy," she said.

Japan had already won two silver medals and one bronze in judo, but it expects gold virtually every time its athletes step on the mat.

Despite their top seeding, the Japanese women failed to make it to the podium. Before her fight Monday, Matsumoto said one of her ousted teammates told her: "You are going to win gold for us."

Matsumoto said she talked to herself on the way to her final, telling herself to remain focused and calm.

"On behalf of my teammates, I am very happy that I was able to get a gold," Matsumoto said.

In the men's 73K division, Russian Mansur Isaev took gold over Japan's Riki Nakaya, the world champion and a favorite to win the division.

It was a close-fought final in which Isaev and Nakaya attempted to pin each other to the ground. Isaev was eventually able to throw Nakaya off balance before holding him down for the victory. After sitting on Nakaya's chest, Isaev got up and held out his arms in what appeared to be some showboating for the Russian fans.

It is Russia's second gold judo medal of the games. Arsen Galstyan won gold Saturday, the country's first judo gold since the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Nakaya said he was disappointed not to have won another gold for Japan.

"I lost because my skills were not high enough," he said.

Isaev came seventh at the world championships last year. Earlier in the day, he also beat world No. 1 Wang Ki-chun of South Korea in the semifinals. The bronze medals were won by Nyam-Ochir Sainjargal of Mongolia and Ugo Legrand of France.

Prime minister welcomes Romney to Israel

JERUSALEM (AP) ? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is welcoming Mitt Romney to Israel as a representative of the U.S. He tells the Republican presidential candidate he agrees with his approach to the threat of a nuclear Iran.

Netanyahu on Sunday said he listened to Romney's speech in Reno, Nev., where Romney said that Iran possessing nuclear capability is the greatest danger facing the world.

Romney says Netanyhau's perspectives on Iran are ones that he takes "with great seriousness."

The warm embrace for Romney is a contrast to the Israeli prime minister's generally cooler approach to U.S. President Barack Obama's efforts to employ sanctions and diplomacy to keep Iran's nuclear ambitions at bay.

Netanyahu says the sanctions and diplomacy "so far have not set back the Iranian program by one iota."

Hello Sunday Morning | Blog | 21st celebrations.

On Friday night something pretty terrible happened which I will not go into, but I woke up on Saturday morning feeling as though I was in a bad dream. I am not sure what the future has in store now, but I intend to get my shit together, get a job, get a place and be in control of it. I hope more than anything ever that I can remedy it.

So preparing for 21st celebrations was stressful enough, but that on top of it made it pretty hard to get through. My brother asked a simple question and I burst into tears while making gyoza (japanese dumplings) out of tofu. So my mum and my older sister sat down with me and we tried to make some sense of it, and work out what the next step was for me. I intend on proving that I can take care of myself just fine. After all I am almost 21, I am well and truly in adulthood. I feel as though I should have my own apartment but event after event has made me dependent on other people without realising.

Reality has bitch slapped me in the face and am going to get back at it, dammit.

So I have spent all week preparing food, stressing that because it is all vegan that people will hate it. But, drum roll... THEY LOVED IT. It turned out I made WAYYYYYYY too much food, and I kept getting told how amazing it was. My immediate family worked tirelessly in the kitchen during festivities and I would have gone completely mental without them. So pleased with the final result! My favourite part was probably when the gyoza (normally made with pork but we substituted with crumbled firm tofu) was snapped up in an instant, and people kept coming back for more. We had sushi planned but there was already too much food so we scrapped that idea.

Speeches were lovely, I choked up at the end of my thankyous with the emotion of the day as well as how overwhelmed I was by all the people there. Carrying around the pit in my stomach was hard to smile through, but when two of my dear old friends stood up next to me and said words it was genuine and I felt very blessed.

All in all, it was a very successful evening. Dessert came around (two cheesecakes, sticky date pudding and a mudcake with raspberry sauce) which I made myself and was all vegan. Snapped up the second it could be, and people even taking home parcels of food to share and for themselves.

It was really nice that people weren't getting overly drunk. We had a bonfire and just chilled out around that, as well as inside around the fireplace. I wish so much that the timing of "the event" wasn't Friday night, but I didn't tell anyone and managed to get through last night without people asking if I was okay. I wasn't even tempted to drink because I knew, besides this committment, it would be a terrible idea and I would have become overly emotional. I would not have enjoyed a hangover to compliment this feeling of dread.

So, today is clean up day. I think dad's brain is going to explode because some mud may have been walked inside. I can hear the vaccumm now. I had better go help out. I hope that I have some good ambiguous news to report very soon to say I fixed everything that needed to be fixed, but it may not happen. Damn I hope I can.

Tips to Keep Your Pets Safe While Boating - Newport Beach-Corona ...

This weekend's hot weather will send thousands of people to local rivers and beaches. If you plan on hopping on a boat with your pet, make sure safety is a priority.

According to TripsWithPets.com, pet owners should plan ahead and always keep the best interests of your four-legged friend in mind in order to keep them safe.

  • Identification Tag: Make sure your pet has a collar with an identification tag. Include contact information, marina address and slip number.
  • Familiarization with the Boat: It is best to gradually introduce your pet to your boat and the water. Let your pet explore the boat while it is docked before going out on the water. Turn on the engine and let them get used to its sound, smell, and feel while the boat is docked.
  • Safe & Easy Boat Access: Provide a special pet ramp for your pet to get on and off the boat. This not only includes from the dock to the boat but also from the water to the boat. Pets weigh much more wet than dry and it can be very difficult to lift them back into your boat after a swim.
  • Flotation Device: A personal flotation device can also ensure safety while on the water. Not all pets can swim and even if your pet is a good swimmer, getting tossed overboard can put any animal into a panic. Make sure they have a life jacket! Many pets also fall into the water from the dock or while trying to get from the dock to the boat. Having your pet equipped with a flotation device with a lifting handle makes retrieving your pet much easier and safer. Help your pet get used to the PFD by first practicing at home for short periods of time. Start by putting the PFD on your pet and let them walk around with it on.
  • Proper Hydration & Staying Cool: Pets do not sweat, so keep an eye out for heavy panting or drool and a rapid heart beat. Protect pets from heat by providing some shade on the boat, providing plenty of water and keeping the deck cool to protect paw pads. Bring along a travel water bowl and fresh water. It is critical to hydrate pets before they get into the water. Otherwise, they will drink the natural water and may get sick.
  • Going Potty: A big challenge of boating with your pet is making provisions so that they can go to the bathroom. If your boat trip does not allow for regular land stops for your dog to do their business, then provisions must be made so that they can relieve themselves on the boat. A portable dog potty that simulates grass is an excellent solution.

The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Flood Mitigation Program will conduct the Preliminary DFIRM Community Coordination (PDCC) Meeting, as part of the South Carolina Mapping Initiative, Risk MAP, for Florence County and its municipalities? local officials on Thursday, Aug. 2, at 1 p.m.

The meeting will be held at the Drs. Bruce & Lee Foundation Library, located at 509 S. Dargan St. in?Florence. The PDCC meeting will be followed by an Open House, scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.?Aug. 2 at the same location.

The Open House allows citizens to determine their level of flood risk and what changes, if any, may apply under the preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps, meet with insurance specialists and local officials.

The vision for Risk MAP is to deliver quality data that increases public awareness and leads to action that reduces risk to life and property.?

Risk MAP builds on flood hazard data and maps produced during the Flood Map Modernization program implemented by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to update the nation?s Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) on a countywide basis.?

FEMA, DNR, and local governments are working together to successfully accomplish the goals of Risk MAP, which is to address gaps in flood hazard data, to promote public awareness and understanding of risks, as well as to plan, lead, and support communities to effectively engage in risk-based mitigation planning.

The PDCC meeting will serve to educate local officials on the Post Preliminary Phase of the Mapping Initiative and their responsibilities in its implementation within their jurisdiction.?

The Post Preliminary Phase includes the Compliance Period in which localities will be required to review their recently updated flood insurance studies and update their current local flood damage prevention ordinance.??

Alex Thomson Breaks Transatlantic Record | Racing news from ...

The British solo sailor has smashed the single-handed monohull transatlantic record, by more than 24 hours

The 38 year old sailor crossed the line at 17:17GMT (18:17 BST) setting the new time at 8 days 22 hours 8 minutes, beating the previous record, subject to ratification by the World Sailing Speed Record Council, which had been held for 10 years.

"It has been a long few days," said Alex. "The first half from New York was great with weather conditions in our favour, but things started to slow down the closer I got. But the wind has held out this morning and it's so fantastic to have broken this record."

Alex set sail from New York on July 17th at 19.09GMT to cover 2800 nautical miles in a quest to break the record for what is officially known as the ?West to East Ambrose Lighthouse to Lizard Point Under 60ft Single-Handed Monohull Record, Male', which sat at 10 days, 55 minutes and 19 seconds, and was set by Swiss sailor Bernhard Stamm 10 years ago.

His secondary aim was to get home in time for the 2012 London Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in order to support Chairman and good friend, Sir Keith Mills.

"When I set off I had no idea if I was going to be able to do it. And it has been hard. Lack of sleep, broken instruments on the boat and constant exposure to the elements has really taken it out of me. But it's such a good feeling to have beaten it by such a great margin," said Alex.

But the record breaking achievement is only half of the story. Alex is in fact lining up to attempt to be the first Brit ever to win the gruelling single-handed round-the-world race, the Vendee Globe, leaving from France in November on board his 60ft monohull, HUGO BOSS. And this record breaking achievement puts him in good stead.

"This record attempt was also a training exercise for the Vendee Globe," said Alex. "We felt this record attempt would put me under real pressure and stimulate race conditions and I have felt a real value in it."

He is one of three British competitors who will take part in the non-stop, solo, unassisted round-the-world yacht race starting in Les Sables d'Olonne in France, on November 10th. Currently only 50% of attempts to complete the race have been successful in the race known as the ?Everest of sailing'.

Obama gets ahead of Romney on Israel

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama is reaffirming U.S. ties with Israel, upstaging Mitt Romney one day before the Republican challenger visits Jerusalem.

The White House says Obama will sign legislation Friday that expands military and civilian cooperation with Israel. The bill passed by voice vote in the House last week. The bill reiterates U.S. support for a negotiated two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Romney is a critic of Obama's policy toward Israel. He will arrive in Jerusalem on Saturday as part of an overseas trip that includes Britain and Poland.

The White House subtly injected itself into Romney's trip on Thursday after Romney caused a stir by calling London's problems with Olympics preparation "disconcerting." White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama "has the utmost confidence" in Britain's ability to host the games.

Obama planned to continue competing with Romney for attention during the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games, which Romney was scheduled to attend while in London.

The Obama campaign was airing an ad for American audiences during the opening ceremonies featuring Obama promoting his middle-class political pitch.

"I believe that the way you grow the economy is from the middle out," Obama says in the ad, echoing a standard campaign refrain. "I believe in fighting for the middle class because if they are prospering, all of us will prosper."

With the ad, Obama guarantees himself a presence during opening ceremonies despite the free media Romney might get by being there in person.

New research confirms efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression

New research confirms efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression

Friday, July 27, 2012

In one of the first studies to look at transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in real-world clinical practice settings, researchers at Butler Hospital, along with colleagues across the U.S., confirmed that TMS is an effective treatment for patients with depression who are unable to find symptom relief through antidepressant medications. The study findings are published online in the June 11, 2012 edition of Depression and Anxiety in the Wiley Online Library.

Previous analysis of the efficacy of TMS has been provided through more than 30 published trials, yielding generally consistent results supporting the use of TMS to treat depression when medications aren't sufficient. "Those previous studies were key in laying the groundwork for the FDA to approve the first device for delivery of TMS as a treatment for depression in 2008," said Linda Carpenter, MD, lead author of the report and chief of the Mood Disorders Program and the Neuromodulation Clinic at Butler Hospital. "Naturalistic studies like ours, which provide scrutiny of real-life patient outcomes when TMS therapy is given in actual clinical practice settings, are the next step in further understanding the effectiveness of TMS. They are also important for informing healthcare policy, particularly in an era when difficult decisions must be made about allocation of scarce resources."

Carpenter explains that naturalistic studies differ from controlled clinical trials because they permit the inclusion of subjects with a wider range of symptomatology and comorbidity, whereas controlled clinical trials typically have more rigid criteria for inclusion. "As a multisite study collecting naturalistic outcomes from patients in clinics in various regions in the U.S., we were also able to capture effects that might arise from introducing a novel psychiatric treatment modality like TMS in non-research settings," said Carpenter. In all, the study confirms how well TMS works in diverse settings where TMS is administered to a real-life population of patients with depression that have not found relief through many other available treatments.

The published report summarized data collected from 42 clinical TMS practice sites in the US, and included outcomes from 307 patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who had persistent symptoms despite the use of antidepressant medication. Change during TMS was assessed using both clinicians' ratings of overall depression severity and scores on patient self-report depression scales, which require the patient to rate the severity of each symptom on the same standardized scale at the end of each 2-week period. Rates for "response" and "remission" to TMS were calculated based on the same cut-off scores and conventions used for other clinical trials of antidepressant treatments. Fifty-eight percent positive response rate to TMS and 37 percent remission rate were observed.

"The patient outcomes we found in this study demonstrated a response rate similar to controlled clinical trial populations," said Dr. Carpenter, explaining that this new data validates TMS efficacy in treating depression for those who have failed to benefit from antidepressant medications. "Continued research and confirmation of the effectiveness of TMS is important for understanding its place in everyday psychiatric care and to support advocacy for insurance coverage of the treatment." Thanks in part to the advocacy efforts of Dr. Carpenter, TMS was recently approved for coverage by Medicare in New England, and it is also now covered by BCBSRI. "Next steps for TMS research involve enhancing our understanding of how to maintain positive response to TMS over time after the course of therapy ends and learning how to customize the treatment for patients using newer technologies, so TMS can help even more patients."

Gov't stepping up fight against health care fraud

(AP) ? The Obama administration is upping the ante in the fight against health care fraud, joining forces with private insurers and state investigators on a scale not previously seen in an attempt to stanch tens of billions of dollars in losses.

Announcing the new public-private partnership Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said it "puts criminals on notice that we will find them and stop them."

Fraud is an endemic problem plaguing entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid as well as private insurance companies. Sebelius said the new program will collate claims data from all those programs and mine it for signs of bogus billing.

"Lots of the fraudsters have used our fragmented health care system to their advantage," Sebelius told reporters during a White House meeting with insurance executives. "By sharing information across payers, we can bring this potentially fraudulent activity to light so it can be stopped."

The agreement is also unusual because it brings the Obama administration and longtime foes in the insurance industry together to tackle a common problem. While carrying out the requirements of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law, insurers are also lobbying to roll back some of its provisions, such as new taxes on the industry and cuts to private plans offered through Medicare. Obama continues to rail against industry "abuses."

But industry leaders stressed that combating fraud is in everyone's interests.

"It's just gotten a great deal harder to prey upon the public," said Karen Ignani, CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans, one of a number of industry groups backing the partnership.

Attorney General Eric Holder, who took part in the announcement, said industry and government will "come together as never before to share information while protecting patient confidentiality."

Details of the collaboration remain to be worked out, but the possibilities include sharing information on new fraud schemes as they pop up, using claims data to catch scams such as payments billed to different insurers on the same day for care purportedly delivered to the same patient in different cities, and using computer analysis to spot emerging patterns of fraud.

An industry official familiar with the discussions said the partnership aims to produce tangible results within six months to a year, but that some issues ? including extensive sharing of claims data ? will take longer to work out. Initially, the collaboration will involve sharing of such information as billing codes associated with fraud for different insurers.

"This is about getting stuff done, not about holding meetings," said the official, who declined to be identified because the official was not authorized to discuss the subject in public and spoke on condition he not be named.

Fraud is estimated to cost Medicare about $60 billion a year, and the Obama administration has beefed up the government's efforts to stop it, bringing in record settlements with drug companies for marketing violations as well as using new powers in the health care law to pursue low-level fraudsters with greater zeal.

Yet, although Medicare is becoming a harder target, it's too early to say if the tide has turned.

Some antifraud efforts launched with great fanfare have yet to deliver convincing results. For example, a $77-million computer system unveiled last summer to stop Medicare fraud before it happens had prevented just one suspicious payment by Christmas.

Likewise, the new public-private collaboration could face problems. Privacy advocates may object to extensive scrutiny of claims data, and doctors have traditionally pushed back against routine computerized monitoring of their practice patterns.

Supporting the partnership are America's Health Insurance Plans, the leading industry lobbying group, the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, and major companies including UnitedHealth Group and WellPoint, Inc. Formal working meetings are scheduled for September.

"The cost of fraud can far exceed what is paid for in falsified claims," said Karen Ignagni, the industry's top lobbyist. "It can cause real harm to patients who are intentionally exposed to radiation, invasive surgeries and medication they do not need, or suffer the consequences of receiving a fraudulent diagnosis."

The analysis of data from Medicare, Medicaid and private health plans will look for suspicious patterns and other evidence that might indicate fraud, White House officials said. A "trusted third party" would comb through the data and turn questionable billing over to insurers or federal investigators.

Officials said those who submit fraudulent claims often do so for both government programs and private insurance plans. Separately, such claims might not raise suspicions, but taken together they could raise a red flag, such as when a doctor bills for more than 24 hours in a day.

Law enforcement organizations taking part in the collaboration include the FBI, the Health and Human Services Inspector General's Office, the Justice Department, and state and private insurance fraud control units.

Afraid of accidentally buying a house? | St. Paul Real Estate Blog

For Home buyers, For Home Sellers

by Teresa Boardman, on 26 July 2012

dollhouse
?

There are casualties in multiple offer situations. ?Only one home buyer can buy the home. ?The other offerers get told by their agent over the phone that their offer was rejected. ?They rarely see anything in writing from anyone and after they move on and start looking at houses they worry about that rejected offer that is still out there.

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

1. ?Chances are your earnest money check never went to the sellers. ?Without the earnest money check the contract may not be valid. ?It should be easy enough to find out if the check was cashed and who cashed it.?

2. ?A contract to purchase a home signed by a buyer only is not complete or what we call fully "executed".?

3. ?In Minnesota to be valid a contract has to be signed by all parties and delivered to them. ?It can be delivered any number of ways including by email.?

4. ?Your agent can have a cancellation drawn up and signed by both parties even though there was no executed contract. ?This can also be done by email or on a sheet of paper with the date, the property address and the date of the contract and signatures of the sellers.?

Your agent could also get an email from the sellers agent stating that the sellers rejected your offer and your agent could send that along to you. ?Personally I prefer to do as much as possible in writing so that there is a paper trail. ? I understand how it must feel to a buyer to have that contract out there. ?

There are several steps in the home buying process that happen after the contract is signed by both parties and a purchase agreement can still be cancelled.?

As an agent I am also always ready to show what I did with a contract step by step. ?How does the buyer know that the offer got to the seller? ??

As a buyer if you are really worried about it you can always ask your attorney.?

Remember real estate is local and maybe in your area you can accidentally ?buy a house.?

Balancing A Busy Schedule And A Work Out Plan : Premier Diet and ...

Posted by haleyjonas on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 ? Leave a Comment?

Do not think of your workout sessions as hard and sweaty work. Using those words can make you become less motivated. Try using the actual name of the activity you are doing, like swimming or cycling.

TIP! Your strength training frequency will depend on what you want to get out your training routine. If you are looking to build large, strong muscles you will want to workout every other day.

If you want to get in shape, but you aren?t sure what to do, you have found the right article. When you?re trying to get fit, it?s beneficial to become motivated. This is accomplished by learning different ways to become fit. Using different techniques will help to keep things interesting, making you less bored and more likely to keep at it.

You do not have to go to the gym to work out. Some companies will have a gym room that employees can have access to. If you can find a convenient place to work out, you are more likely to stick with your program. The nearer the gym is to your home, the greater the likelihood you will pay regular visits.

TIP! Your front and your back should be balanced. By only working out one side, you are more prone to injuries and pain.

Wear clothes that are comfortable when you?re working out. There?s a lot of pressure out there, especially at gyms and fitness centers, to wear the trendiest workout clothes around. The clothing you wear should permit you to move freely without embarrassment. Good workout attire will help you pay attention to getting into shape and not how bad the clothes look or feel.

Test any workout bench before using it. Check the padding on the bench by putting pressure on the seat with your thumb. Find a different bench if you feel any hard surface beneath the padding.

TIP! When you are first starting a weight-lifting regimen, begin with lighter weights. Your smaller muscles get tired before larger ones do, so it makes sense to start with dumbbells or barbells before the bigger machines, for example.

Try to get 30 minutes of cardio exercises in daily. This can strengthen your muscles, even your heart, while improving your health and contributing to weight loss. Remember, the longer and harder you work, the longer you will need rest to recuperate.

A great method of building fitness is to workout every day. You will not be exercising and be putting in hard work for no reason. This will allow exercising to become more of a habit as well. In order to keep from over-exerting yourself, though, spread a few lighter workout routines out over your weekly schedule.

TIP! Believe or not, you can develop all of the stamina you need by simply jogging. Begin slowly and build up the amount of time you jog weekly.

The best time of day to shop for exercise shoes is in the evening hours. This is because throughout the day your feat expand a little bit, so you want to get the shoe size that is perfect for your foot.

Record everything you do daily. This includes items like food, drinks, exercise, and everything else. If you really want to be a completionist, record the weather, too. This will allow you to get an objective view of your behavior. When you can?t exercise on a day, be sure to record why not.

TIP! Drink milk when your workouts are completed. This delicious drink offers the perfect amount of protein.

Try recorded workouts for some inspiration. Find exercise shows that can help your workout from the comfort of home. Trying new movements or working out to random shows can keep you motivated and curious. If you do not have access to these programs, try finding some online or looking for videos.

A gym is great, but you should certainly invest in a piece of good exercise equipment. That investment will help you feel committed to being fitter, and is super-convenient for you to exercise. Do your research to find out which company offers the best price for the equipment you want. Just make sure that you get something that is going to last you a long time.

TIP! The following tip is a great exercise for improving one?s agility for sports. Pick up your left foot and touch it using your right hand, lowering it when finished.

Do not try to work out when you are ill. When you are ill, your body needs time to heal and recuperate. Exercising strenuously during this time can hinder the natural healing process. Your body won?t be able to endure and build muscle at this time. With this in mind, avoid exercising too strenuously until you are fully recovered. Also, you will want to eat great and get extra sleep.

The benefits of fitness are not only physical. If you start a new workout routine, your mental health will improve as well. The endorphins released during a workout can lead to a feeling of well being. Working out also helps your self-image as well as your confidence level. You can become happier by just working out a couple times.

TIP! You can always ask friends and relatives to exercise with you and help you stick with your fitness plan. Getting fit with a buddy can provide you with the extra motivation needed to reach your goals.

Do want your legs to look perfect? In that case, think about lower leg raises, both seated and standing. As your calves have two separate muscle segments, you need to work your calf muscles in different ways to get the maximum results.

Remember to stay hydrated throughout all of your workouts. Start hydrating an hour before you even begin your workout and continue for another hour after your workout is over.

Try lifting weights while running. This is why some runners should consider lifting weights. Studies show that those runners that lift weights regularly can run farther and faster without getting tired.

TIP! Exercise isn?t the only important aspect of a healthy fitness plan, stretching is just as important. Stretching helps warm and loosen muscles and get them ready for your routine.

As you exercise the bicep muscles, make certain you lift weights correctly. Not only can you strain your arms and muscles, but you could injure yourself. To do it properly, you must extend wrists backwards a bit, and hold it for a few seconds. Then, release the wrists slowly into their normal position. This helps to build up your bicep muscles correctly and reduce risk of injury.

Most exercise programs do not burn the amount of calories most people think, so they exercise to the extreme. You will be in danger of hurting yourself, heart issues, dehydration, and you will not benefit from it.

TIP! Cutting out refined sugar is the greatest thing to do to get healthy. If you?re addicted to sugar, you most likely drink soft drinks often.

Strength training is a great way to create lean muscle mass and to reshape your body. If you have strength training as part of your exercise routine, it will help increase metabolism, muscle mass, and burn off excess calories, even while resting. You need to give each group of muscles at least 24 hours off before exercising it again.

You will want to take your time when you start an exercise program. Taking the time to learn how to do the exercise properly, including form and breathing, will pay dividends later. Utilizing proper form will allow you to improve your body without suffering any serious injuries.

TIP! It can be helpful to commit yourself to working out at a fixed time of day if you find that you often make excuses to yourself for avoiding exercise. You will then realize it was just an excuse.

Try out rollerblading to burn a lot of calories. Although rollerblading isn?t too popular anymore, it is still fun to do and can help you lose a lot of weight. Rollerblades are typically very easy to find at stores like Walmart, Target and recreational sport stores.

Change up the exercises you do on a regular basis. This keeps you motivated to workout every day. This also uses different areas of muscles so your body does not become accustomed to it and not benefiting from the exercise anymore.

TIP! Develop a fitness log that lists the exercises that you completed throughout your day. Keep track of all the workouts you do.

When you?re stretching, take care not to bounce. This causes your muscles to strain when they do not have to. Despite what most people think, bouncing during stretching does not boost your flexibility. In fact, you are actually opening yourself up to potential injury and harm by doing this. Keep in mind that correct stretches are stable and not bouncy.

Donkey calf raises is a great way to help build up calf muscles when trying to become more fit. These calf raises are an awesome way to effectively build up your calves when you?re exercising. Enlist the help of another person to hold their weight against your back as you lift your calves.

During a bicep workout, to get a better routine, make sure you bend your wrists. Let your wrists fall backwards slightly. Then from this position do your normal bicep routine. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but your body will get used to it.

With everything that you learned in this article, it should give you a boost of confidence knowing that there are many ways that you can achieve your fitness goals. Keep in mind that part of getting fit is putting the advice you are given to good use.

In our present financial occasions, everyone is attempting to reduce investing as significantly as feasible. Discretionary spending is almost a neglected term. Salaries are becoming decreased and work are being lost. We are more delicate with our meals and entertainment budgets, our charitable donations have been reduce way back again, and in common we are ?trimming the body fat?.

However, I have noticed parents attempting to maintain speed with ice hockey expenses for their children. There are the league fees, the hockey skates, the hockey sticks discount authentic jerseys, helmets, pants Nike Game Jerseys, encounter masks and the list goes on. Ambigu A hockey is much more expensive than solitary A MLB Shop, and Triple A hockey is much more costly than double A. Many Triple A households are being pressured to decline to double A to save money.

What are the hockey manufacturers doing about it? The hockey producers do not really appear that intrigued in lowering their costs simply because those guys in the boardroom have profit quotas to meet.

What is a mother or father to do?

One suggestion would be to try a smaller sized, quality hockey equipment manufacturer. There are two that come to mind but there are other people. These businesses are located in Canada, have been about a lengthy time, and make an outstanding product, which price less than the big corporate brands. Hockey producers like these claim the money they conserve on high end endorsements is place back again into their products and the customer?s pocket.

Usually, you will discover these smaller sized type companies will carry a complete line of ice skates, and some of the other hockey gear that we as parents buy. If you look at the construction quality of their ice hockey skates, you will observe that they stand up to scrutiny. These manufacturers even have patents and patents pending for their products which includes initial fit technologies, and their ankle support methods.

In summary, I would suggest you surf the internet. There are so many websites that sell ice hockey gear cheap jerseys for sale, and appear for the alternative manufacturers. Maintain shopping til you are persuaded you have the best offer.

I hope this article has helped you during these difficult economic occasions nike nfl jersey, and do not neglect, the bottom line is to be a shrewd customer.

High Payouts Via Paid Surveys ? headline news

Can you really earn money taking surveys? The answer is YES! We?ve all seen them, advertisements, banner ads, even spam emails promising us extra cash just for taking the time to fill out a survey. But how much can you really make? What exactly do these companies want in return? Read on below to find out. First, the survey companies actually do get a lot in return for their money. Whether they are researching and developing new products or experimenting with new advertising methods for existing products, the information these companies gleam from your consumer responses is invaluable to them. They can use your responses to find the right market for their product, gauge interest in certain products and even test advertising before they spend a huge amount of money on a national advertising campaign. Not only do the companies get a goldmine of information from consumer responses, but they can even use the aggregate information to form very specific ideas of what a certain market segment wants or needs. Consumer testing and surveys are one of the most important methods of research and testing that the big brand names use to research, develop and market their products, it?s a win-win for them, for the consumer and for the people taking the surveys.

There are different types of paid surveys and they each have their own pros and cons, I?ll list the two major types below: Surveys For Cash ? This type of survey is the most prized, because you give them your time and they pay you in real money. These survey companies will usually send you a check, but some of them send actual cash in the mail. Ranging from $2, $5 all the way up to $10 and $20. Higher payouts happen, but they are more rare and usually require much more time and information from you, such as keeping a daily journal of your shopping habits, Internet surfing habits or your banking habits or testing out actual products. Surveys For Rewards ? Some survey companies will offer you points for each survey you take, say 50 points or 500 points. Then these points can be redeemed for products, gift certificates, gift cards, airline miles and other items. Sometimes, the points can even be redeeemed for cash. There are more of these types of survey programs available since you must commit some time to faithfully taking the surveys they send in order to gain enough points to be redeemed for something worthwhile. However, these companies tend to send more surveys than the companies that pay cash, so you may have more opportunities to redeem your accumulated points for cash or a tangible prize in the end. Avoiding The Scams Most survey companies are legitimate, but some you may want to watch out for. Listed below are some ways to make sure you are taking surveys for legitimate companies: Reputation ? Before signing up for a survey program, check it?s reputation by doing a bit of research to make sure the company actually pays it?s members or sends out their prizes. You can check with the Better Business Bureau online, check Google and the many message boards and forums dedicated to taking surveys and making money online in general. It should take you just a few minutes to find out if a company is for real or is just collecting information to spam you. Privacy Policy ? Make sure the site has a clearly stated privacy policy and be sure to read it carefully. Make sure they aren?t going to keep and sell your personal information to third parties and that the information you do give is used for reasonable purposes. Survey Directories ? You can find some excellent listings of paid survey companies on the web. These directories will often have a description and review of each company. You?ll often be able to see what types of payment or prizes they offer. Be sure to check these out. An excellent paid online survey directory is PaidSurvey24.com. Helpful Tools There are some helpful tools available for those that would like to take surveys but don?t type very fast or well. One of the best is the Google Toolbar. It?s completely free and installs right to your browser. Once it?s installed, you should click the OPTIONS tab on the bar and check the box next to AUTOFILL. Then click the AUTOFILL SETTINGS button and fill in all the information there. This enables the auto fill form tool so that you can fill out forms asking for your name, address, email address etc. just once and then you can simply click the AUTOFILL button on your browser to fill in each of these fields. Extremely handy and a HUGE timesaver! With the Google toolbar, you can also search Google without having to go to Google main page, so you can research paid survey companies even more easily. You can get it from Google site, just go to their main page and click on MORE, then EVEN MORE and then click on TOOLBAR. In summary, while you may not be able to make a living taking surveys, you certainly can make some extra money and earn some nice prizes. So the question is not, why would you want to take paid surveys, its why wouldn?t you want to take paid surveys?! It?s easy, often fun and has many benefits! Good luck!

Injured Brazilian goalkeeper to miss Olympics

By TALES AZZONI

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 2:31 p.m. ET July 24, 2012

CARDIFF, Wales (AP) - Brazil's starting goalkeeper Rafael has been ruled out of the men's Olympic squad after injuring his right elbow during practice just two days before the team's opening match.

Brazil team doctors said exams Tuesday showed the injury will keep Rafael on the sidelines for up to three weeks, ending his hopes of playing in the Olympics. Brazil will begin its quest for its first Olympic gold medal in soccer against Egypt on Thursday at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

The 22-year-old Santos goalkeeper was injured Monday when he collided with a practice dummy as he reached for a high ball crossed into the penalty box.

He said he was able to continue practicing despite the initial pain but started to lose movement in the arm during the day, prompting doctors to conduct tests.

"It's hard to try to explain why things like this happen," Rafael said. "But I'd like to think that it all happens for a reason and I will overcome all of this in the end."

Rafael, touted to be Brazil's goalkeeper at the 2014 World Cup at home, broke his leg a few years ago just before making his professional debut with Santos, but eventually recovered to help lead the team to titles including the Brazilian Cup and the Copa Libertadores.

Neto, a 23-year-old reserve goalkeeper for Fiorentina, will be Brazil's starter during the Olympic tournament.

Since joining the Italian club early in 2011, Neto has played only three official matches, and will be making his national team debut when Brazil plays Egypt.

"I didn't play regularly during the season but I played some matches near the end, that helped me get into a good rhythm coming into the Olympics," Neto said. "I'm prepared and focused. I feel confident."

Recently signed 19-year-old AC Milan goalkeeper Gabriel, who was on coach Mano Menezes' standby list, has been drafted into the squad as the reserve goalkeeper. The Brazilian football federation said Atletico Mineiro goalkeeper Renan Ribeiro will take Gabriel's spot on standby.

The Olympic tournament is the only significant soccer competition Brazil hasn't won. The five-time World Cup champions won the Olympic silver in 1984 and 1988 and the bronze in 1996 and 2008.

There are high expectations this time as Brazil is one of the few teams bringing some of its top players for the Olympic tournament, which is played with under-23 squads plus three overage players. Among those in the team are Neymar, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Oscar, Hulk, Lucas and Leandro Damiao, players who will also likely be in the World Cup squad in two years.

After playing Egypt, Brazil will face Belarus at Old Trafford on Sunday and New Zealand in Newcastle on Aug. 1.

Fake jellyfish made from rat cells have a place in our hearts (video)

Fake jellyfish made from rat cells have a place in our hearts (video)

There's a whole sea of jellyfish out there ready to sting indiscriminately. So, why do we keep trying to make them? Scientists from Harvard and Caltech have a pretty good reason for creating fake jellies -- they hope to mend broken hearts by adapting their 'pumping' style of movement. Much like our own vital organ, the creatures are a mass of muscle adept at shifting fluid, meaning the research has several medical applications, such as bioengineered pacemakers for busted tickers. In creating the Medusoids, the team used a silicon scaffold coated in functional rat cardiac tissue, copying the muscle layout of a real jellyfish as best they could. When immersed in salt water and treated to bursts of current, the cells contract and cause the silicon sheet to move in a way eerily similar to the real thing. Next step for the team? An autonomous version that can move and potentially feed without their influence, of course. And, after seeing the little swimmers in action, we've certainly got palpitations. See what we mean after the break.

Thread: Shop Ply and Scrap Maple Bookcase - Family Woodworking

I need to re-model my office. I need to get the books outta there so I can change desks, etc. etc. Finally knocked together a bookcase out of some chi-ply and some scrap maple. It is sized to hold the avalanche of paperbacks, CD's, DVD's and hardbacks that have snow-drifted into a corner of the office. It is also sized to stand behind a door that is always open into the spare room/den. That way it can serve a purpose and not be seen at the same time .

I used 3/8" dados in the sides and rabbets on the shelf ends. This ply was so irregular this was a good way to "fake" a good fit. I still have a bit of the maple LOML found on the side of the road a few years ago. Milled it down and made the trim. The toe-kick base allows access to adjustable feet to level the tall skinny critter. It will fasten to the wall when leveled.

I taped off the areas that would take glue with blue painter's tape and sprayed rattle-can poly on it. Pull the tape, apply the glue and clamp away. The bottom shelf is adjustable via shelf pins. Just goes to show you, if you need something quick-n-dirty, some cheap ply and leftovers can do the trick till you have time to build something nice.

Protesters opposing police killing attacked in Anaheim, California - Cops Release Dogs

The city of Anaheim in Southern California was rocked by a spate of police violence on Saturday. After fatally shooting an unarmed man, police used ?less-lethal? ammunition?including rubber bullets and a police dog?against residents, including children, who were protesting the killing.

The violence began around 4 p.m. when officers began to chase Manuel Diaz for ?suspicious activity.? One eyewitness, Crystal Ventura, told the Orange County Register that the police shot Diaz first in the lower back, then in the back of the head as he fell to his knees. While Diaz was bleeding on the ground, the police handcuffed him and searched his pockets before sending him to the hospital, where he died three hours later.

?They searched his pockets, and there was a hole in his head, and I saw blood on his face,? Ventura said.

In a press conference on Sunday, Anaheim Police Chief John Welter said that Diaz was seen talking to two individuals in a car, which drove off as police approached. Diaz ran from the police, who pursued and killed him.

Welter confirmed that Diaz was unarmed. Two officers involved in the incident have been placed on paid administrative leave.

Diaz?s sister, Lupe Diaz, said that he was ?just hanging out with friends? before he was shot. Diaz?s mother told NBC News, ?He was shot first in the back. He was down. Then they shot him the second time. Then they shot him in the head.?

Within a few hours of the shooting, a crowd of neighbors and friends had formed demanding an explanation from the police. Yesenia Rojas, a woman who lived in the neighborhood and knew Diaz told the Register, ?We were all waiting for him to come and talk to the community and give us an explanation. Why kill this man??

Instead of an explanation, the police decided to disperse the crowd with rubber bullets. According to the Register, a police officer said they decided to fire on the crowd because it was ?getting too close to officers who were trying to detain a person suspected of being with a group that attempted to throw a bottle or rock at police.?

However, in video footage obtained by the local CBS News affiliate KCAL 9,(On Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqzoKY1CyAg&feature=player_embedded ) police can clearly be seen shooting in the direction of women, children, and unarmed bystanders. In the course of clearing the crowd a police dog overturned a stroller to attack a seated, unarmed man.

CBS News reported: ?Said Susan Lopez, ?I had my baby with me. My baby! The dog scratched me and then grabbed me.? She added, ?They shot at me while I was holding a baby!? Another woman yelled, ?They just shot at us, they shot at a little kid, too.??

Welter defended the police actions, saying, ?Officers in this situation can?t retreat.? He claimed that the dog was released by accident.

Later that night, there were sporadic protests in the area of the police riot, including a brief road blockade with a burning dumpster. Clearly fearing the potential for broader unrest, like the riots in Los Angeles following the Rodney King beating, the police blanketed the area with officers. The police have not yet released information on whether arrests were made overnight.

Anaheim, like much of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, has a long history of police violence. Diaz is the fourth person to be shot and killed by Anaheim police since January. In comparison, there were only five total homicides reported in the first four months of this year. Police violence is endemic to the area. The neighboring city of Fullerton was where police beat homeless man Kelly Thomas to death a year ago. (See, ?Fullerton, California authorities attempt to cover up police murder of innocent homeless man?)

Angry over the brutality, protesters filled the Anaheim police station on Sunday, before Chief Welter was gave a press conference on the incident.

The level violence has created a tense situation. The city council announced its intention last month to have an independent investigator review all ?major police incidents,? like police shootings. However, there is no timeline for this investigation, and no reason to believe that it will be more effective than any other ?independent investigation.? It is intended to cover up, rather than reveal, the circumstances that led to the violence.

The following statement was issued by the New York Labor Black League for Social Defense and Spartacist League on April 28, 2008 After police officers who shot and killed an unarmed Sean Bell in NYC.

Once again, the cops who committed a heinous crime?this time, the gunning down of 23-year-old Sean Bell in a firestorm of 50 bullets on his wedding day?have been found ?not guilty? on all counts. The grisly death march of the NYPD thus continues, from the 1999 cop killing of Amadou Diallo, cut down in a hail of 41 bullets in the lobby of his own home, and countless other victims of racist police terror to the present outrage. By the standards of bourgeois legality, the cops who killed Sean Bell were doing the job they are paid to do under racist capitalism. To add insult to injury, not only did State Supreme Court justice Arthur Cooperman last Friday acquit the cops on all charges, but in the course of the bench trial, it was the victims who were put on trial?Sean Bell posthumously and bullet-riddled Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield on the stand! Once again, the racist injustice system of this country recalls the infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court held that black people ?had no rights which the white man was bound to respect.?

What should be happening now is massive labor-centered protests on the streets to unite the social power of the working class with the anger of the ghetto and barrio masses. New York City is a union town with a multiracial working class?black, white, Latino, Asian and immigrants from around the world. Transit workers, city and hospital workers have the social power to bring the financial capital of U.S. imperialism to a screeching halt. To unleash this tremendous social power requires a political struggle within the unions to build a class-struggle leadership by fighting to oust the pro-capitalist labor misleaders who subordinate the interests of working people to the capitalist parties, Democratic and Republican alike. As a spokesman for the Spartacist League put it in addressing a protest rally on the day of the acquittal of Sean Bell?s killers: ?The only way to fight these racist rulers and the gangs in blue is through a workers party that fights for a workers revolution.?

NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose cops are out in force to intimidate and repress, said of the court?s verdict: ?America is a nation of laws, and?we accept their authority.? Proving again that his talk of ?change? doesn?t mean a dime?s worth of difference, Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama intoned: ?We?re a nation of laws, so we respect the verdict that came down.? The miserable pawnbrokers of ghetto rage like Democrat Al Sharpton have likewise appealed for calm and promised to take it to the Justice Department along with making diversionary calls for civil disobedience. This is a calculated strategy to chill the justified anger and corral it into the dead end of electoral pressure politics, not least in this presidential election year. Against the timeworn schemes to ?reform? this racist capitalist system, including whitewash ?police accountability? commissions and hat-in-hand appeals to the Justice Department of Guant?namo Bay and Torture, Inc., it is necessary to understand that the state?the cops, the courts, the prison system?is an instrument of the rule of the capitalist class, of repression against the working class and all the oppressed. It cannot be reformed to meet our needs, it must be smashed and replaced by workers rule.

Mumia Abu-Jamal, former Black Panther, award-winning journalist and MOVE supporter, framed-up and facing execution or life imprisonment at the hands of the state, said of the Bell verdict: ?So 23-year-old Sean Bell joins Amadou Diallo and many, many others guilty of WWB: Walking While Black. And while millions of black and white Americans thrill at political illusions of post-racialism, Sean Bell?s case proves how deeply deadly race can still be.? Mumia?s case, too, shows that there is no justice in the capitalist courts: This innocent man and eloquent fighter for the rights of the oppressed should not have spent a day in prison. So Sean Bell?s killers walk while Mumia rots in prison. Free Mumia now!

The same racist capitalist rulers who bomb, starve and torture people from Afghanistan to Iraq unleash their racist cops ?at home? against striking workers, black people and immigrants. Black oppression in this country is the envelope for class exploitation; it took a Civil War to smash chattel slavery, and it will take a third American revolution to put a final end to centuries of black oppression that is the bedrock of this system. Only then will it be possible to eradicate the systematic segregation in jobs, housing, education and health care and build a workers state where those who labor rule. This Marxist perspective for revolutionary integrationism is counterposed both to liberal integrationists who promote illusions in justice under capitalism and to black nationalists who preach despairing acquiescence to segregation and discrimination with schemes of ?black capitalism.? Finish the Civil War?For black liberation through socialist revolution! As revolutionary, proletarian internationalists in the belly of the U.S. imperialist beast, we seek to forge a party on the model of Lenin and Trotsky?s Bolsheviks and fight for new October Revolutions, eliminating once and for all the class exploitation and racist oppression that the cops and courts ?serve and protect.? Sean Bell: We will not forget!
