The Best Sleeping Pad Review
What is the best sleeping pad? Accepting the challenge to answer this question, we bought and tested 21 of the best pads available on the market. Over the course of one full summer, we put these pads through rigorous tests and backcountry trips while collecting valuable feedback about each pad's comfort from over 50 reviewers. From the wild Rockies of Colorado and New Mexico to the Napali coast of Hawaii, we took our time to find out the strengths and weaknesses of each product so you won't have to. We learned which mats to take on long expeditions and backcountry adventures and which are better used near the car or pack raft. This year, there was a lot of competition in the world of sleeping pads and we're here to name the best.

Best Overall Sleeping Pad
Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xtherm
The reigning Editors' Choice winner, Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm, has earned top honors in our review of the best sleeping pad for several years in a row. In this updated review, we compiled feedback from over 30 testers who used this pad and we agree that it is the highest performing all-purpose pad on the market. Other than the hefty $200 price tag, there isn't much that we don't love about this pad. It is super lightweight, ultra warm, packs down small, and is impressively durable. If you want one pad to rule over all four seasons in the mountains, this is definitely the pad for you. Its performance continues to be unparalleled. And if you're looking for a larger version of the XTherm, consider the Them-a-rest NeoAir XTherm Max.
Super warm
Packs down small
Edges aren't as stable as other pads
Best Bang for the Buck
Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Venture
The Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Venture earned our Best Buy Award for its combination of comfort, durability, and low price! It is more comfortable than the XTherm and XLite due to its rectangular shape and more comfortable surface material. Although its durable fabrics make it heavier, this pad is less likely to experience wear and tear. Our testers reach for this pad on extended, remote basecamp trips where the benefit of the extra comfort of using it for many nights exceeds the drawback of carrying its extra weight on the walk in and out. We loved using this pad while guiding backpacking trips where a totally restful night's sleep is more important than a few extra ounces. If you're an outdoor enthusiast looking for a just one affordable pad for car camping and backpacking, then we highly recommend the Venture. Likewise, if you backpack for the sake of luxurious camping in beautiful locations, we think this pad will keep you cozy for years.
Super comfortable
Brushed fabric feel snice
Not lightweight
More bulky than ultralight pads
Not warm
Best Pad on a Budget
Therm-A-Rest Z Lite Sol
Closed cell foam pads offer exceptional durability and cost very little. The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite SOL blends durability with a relatively small packed size to create our favorite inexpensive pad. This is ideal both for the budget conscious and for the ultra hardcore: thru-hikers, alpine climbers, and mountaineers all depend on closed cell pads for the most ambitious objectives. Though not as durable as the Ridge Rest SOLite, this pad offers the significant advantage of being compact. As you can see in the photo above, a 1/2 length version takes up very little space on the side of a pack.
Warmer than original Z-Lite
Dimples collect dirt
Foam compresses over time and becomes less comfortable, less warm
Top Pick for Ultralight
Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite
Once again, the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite wins a Top Pick award for ultralight trips. We love it for its small size, low weight, and comfort. It works fabulously for everything from summer backpacking to fast and light winter trips when supplemented with a foam pad. If you adventure primarily in the summer, this pad will be plenty warm for you. For years, this pad has been a favorite of ours and it continues to earn a place in our packs and under our backs. The Sea to Summit UltraLight nearly won this award because it weighs about the same, is nearly as comfortable, and packs down smaller. However, the XLite ultimately took the lead because it is much warmer. Both are excellent pads and the UltraLight is $60 cheaper! If you don't need as much warmth and want an ultralight pad that will keep your wallet a little heavier, the UltraLight is tough to beat.
Warm for the weight
Packs small
Edges not as stable as other pad designs
Top Pick for Comfort
Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Insulated
While we were not particularly impressed with the other two Sea to Summit pads that we reviewed, the Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Insulated's dual chamber design takes comfort to a whole second level--literally! The ability to independently inflate the top and bottom sections of the pad makes for an uncanny level of adjustability without the fear of bottoming out at your hips. When the top is slightly deflated, we didn't have issues with the pad's lack of a smooth surface. The Air Sprung cells distribute weight evenly and stably without any bounciness found in other pad designs. The winter worthy R-value of 5 kept the cold at bay. Consider this pad if you want warmth and comfort and don't mind carrying a little extra weight. The Comfort Plus pad is also available in a larger rectangular shape in the Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Mat.
Outrageously comfortable
Dual air chambers are redundant
Stable and supportive

Analysis and Test Results
After purchasing each model featured in this review, we spent a whole summer sleeping on them. The lead reviewer didn't sleep on a bed for three months while testing these models. We also shared these products with a team of collaborating outdoor enthusiasts to ensure we had a wide range of opinions. Besides taking careful notes during our backcountry experiences with the pads, we also carried out side-by-side tests and took multiple measurements to tease out both major and subtle differences. At the end of the testing period, we used the information gathered to score each model across five unique performance metrics, effectively highlighting each one's strengths and weaknesses. Each metric was also weighted appropriately according to its importance within this product category. Based on the scores in the individual metrics, we calculated an overall performance score from 1-100, as shown in the chart below.
The scores represent each model's performance relative to the other contenders in this review. Below, we dissect the methods used to evaluate every product in each metric, as well as highlighting the winners and losers in each category. The scoring metrics we used are comfort, weight and packed size, warmth, ease of inflation, and durability. As with most recreational gear, we recommend you focus on the metrics that are most important for your individual outdoor needs when narrowing down the best product for you.
Here we evaluated how well each pad transformed rocks and roots into plush heavenly clouds. Although comfort is subjective and one can quickly become inured to pains of the thin, ultralight pad we've found the following to be true: thicker pads cushion the hips and knees better than thinner pads; flat surfaces are more comfortable for your head than bumpy surfaces; grippier fabrics keep you attached to the pad for longer; and more surface area means more comfort.
The most comfortable pad will depend upon your preferences. Side sleepers almost always prefer thick air construction pads while back sleepers sometimes preferred self-inflating pads. Our comfort scores are based on the feedback of over 50 reviewers who each used one or more of these contenders. Many were first-time campers on guided trips (they typically gave a lower comfort score) and many were seasoned backpackers and guides (they typically ranked pads higher). As always, keep in mind that our scores are relative. A score of nine out of ten means that the pad was among the most comfortable of its competitors, not that it's going to offer the same level of comfort as your Tempur-Pedic at home.
Hands down, the most comfortable pads we snoozed on is the Top Pick for Comfort award-winning Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Insulated that earned a 10/10 for comfort. Our testers preferred sleeping on it over the Best Buy winning Therm-a-Rest Venture and the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Camper which both received a comfort score of 9/10. Our reviewers loved the rectangular shape of the Venture and loved the feel of the material on the outside, but the Comfort Plus Insulated took things to a whole other level thanks to its dual chamber design that lets you fine-tune your comfort level.
The Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite, Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm, Nemo Astro Insulated, and Therm-a-Rest EvoLite all received a score of 7/10. It's worth noting that each of these pads has a relatively smooth surface. Several outliers thought that the REI AirRail 1.5 was the most comfortable, but most of our testers preferred the other pads listed above because of their thickness. The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite SOL is a closed cell foam pad and was not surprisingly the least comfortable pad we reviewed earning a score of 1/10. Foam pads just don't convert grass lumps into clouds as well as inflatable pads.
Weight and Packed Size
The human powered nature of outdoor sports keeps weight at the forefront of gear purchasing decisions. As with any sport, the lightest gear is usually the most expensive. If you're planning on tackling a first ascent in the Himalayas or if you just want every performance edge money can buy, you'll do well considering weight a key metric. If the nature of your objectives tend to be more casual, weight probably isn't as important of a metric as it's marketed to be. To clarify, we're not saying weight isn't important, we're just saying that other variables might be worth sacrificing a few ounces here and there. In our tests, we have found that many people would rather carry a few extra ounces if it means a comfortable and/or warm night's sleep.
Typically, the three heaviest necessities in backpacking are your shelter, sleep system, and backpack. The more miles or elevation you travel in day determines the importance of added weight. Generally speaking, foam pads are lightweight, but aren't comfortable. Meanwhile, self-inflating pads tend to be much heavier than their air core counterparts. In our tests, we found air construction pads provide the highest weight-to-performance ratio of any pad type. Most pads we reviewed weigh between 12 and 26 ounces. If you're only hiking a couple miles to setup camp, or are going to base camp for a week in the same location, that 14 ounce difference will go unnoticed compared with gains other metrics like comfort and warmth. Contrastly, if you're trekking the Appalachian Trail, the extra effort of carrying 14 ounces is significant. The more strenuous your journey, the more important weight becomes.
The weight of the pads we tested ranged from 9.1 ounces (Klymit Inertia X Frame) to 30 ounces (Exped SynMat 7). Remember to check the warmth score of a lightweight pad before purchasing it to make sure that it will meet your needs in that category. Finally, many pads are available in multiple sizes and some of our testers minimize weight by taking short torso-length pads and using a backpack, boots, or other gear under their legs. Our favorite pad for ultralight backpacking is the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite. Twelve ounces give you an R-value of 3.2, a packed size roughly equal to a liter water bottle, and a lot of comfort to boot.
Depending on the model, a self-inflating pad may or may not pack down small enough to fit inside your backpack. Older designs are usually bulky and don't pack down much smaller than foam pads. Newer designs use less foam and can pack down relatively small. The updated Therm-a-Rest ProLite, for example, is a super compressible self-inflating mats. The Therm-a-Rest EvoLite fits somewhere between the typical design of self-inflating mats and air construction mats. It achieves the thickness of many air construction pads while still providing some self-inflation.
A pad's ability to insulate you from the cold below is a crucial concern, especially in winter when the temperature difference between your body and the ground can exceed 60 degrees. That's a very high temperature gradient going on in what is often less than an inch! Thermal conductivity in pads is a very complicated issue with a multitude of variables, but let's discuss the basics. First, cold is nothing more than the absence of heat and heat is just movement of energy from warmer objects to colder ones. Second, we lose heat via three mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation. If you sleep on the ground without a sleeping mat, the ground can conduct heat away from you up to 160 times faster than the air around you. The products in this review are designed to lift you off of the ground thus preventing very much heat to be lost through conduction.
Within the pad itself, you will lose lots of heat through convection when air moves around inside the pad. Generally, the most important variables for a pad are its thickness (thicker is warmer), insulation, and air circulation (more circulation equates to less warmth). Sleeping pads are usually given a warmth number called an R-value that relates to a its resistance to heat loss. Although home insulation uses the same R-value system, unfortunately, there is no outdoor industry standard for measuring R-values in sleeping mats since there are many more variations in these pads compared to home insulation. Our warmth variable reflects our experience while testing the pads, which was generally on par with the differences between the R-Values. In our comparison table above and in each individual review, we report the R-value that is advertised by the manufacturer. Without diving into complicated engineering jargon, when comparing R-values, know that the measurement is fairly linear: a pad with an R-value of 5.0 is five times warmer than a pad with an R-value of 1.0. Thus, the warmest pad we tested (Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm) has a stated R-value of 5.7 and is subsequently about 5.7 times warmer than the Sea to Summit UltraLight that has an R-Value of about 1.
If you're a summer hiker, warmth isn't nearly as important for you as it is for winter wanderers. Unless you are a cold sleeper, most of the pads in this review will be plenty warm if you only like recreating in temperate climates. If you camp in the heat, you don't want a warm pad! The Sea to Summit UltraLight is a great pick for this because it is has an R-value of 0.7, is lightweight, packs ridiculously small, and doesn't break the bank. If you're frequently cold when camping, upgrading the R-value of your sleeping pad is recommended but often comes at the expense of added weight and bulk. We think that our Editors' Choice Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm supplies an unmatched level of warmth for its weight and packed size.
Ease of Inflation
In this 2016 update of our sleeping pad review, we've decided to include ease of inflation into our metrics. With the difficulty of inflation being one of the main drawbacks of air construction mats, manufacturers have come up with a wide array of new valve styles to help alleviate this issue. One way inflation valves and quick deflation methods can really make live a little bit simpler in the backcountry. The Therm-a-Rest XLite Max SV has the most innovative valve system that uses parlor-trick-style physics to maximize the effect of your breath for rapid inflation. The one way valves on the Sea to Summit Comfort Plus Insulated and other S2S pads are supremely easy to use and make the chore of inflation less than the traditional twist valves found on pads like the Therm-a-Rest All Season.
Of course, self inflating pads have been on the market for decades and make the task of inflating quite simple. The downside of self inflating pads is that they are generally less comfortable, more bulky, and/or heavier than air construction sleeping pads. The REI AirRail 1.5 is the highest scoring self inflating mat.
Significant advances in textile development make lightweight inflatable pads, such as the NeoAir XTherm, fairly durable. We were very impressed by the amount of abuse our inflatable pads handled without tearing or delaminating. Over the years, we have used inflatable pads for extensive 40-day backpacking trips without any durability issues. Take care of your pad and it will take care of you. That said, we do always recommend traveling with a mini repair kit, such as the Therm-a-Rest Repair Kit or Gear Aid Seam Grip Field Repair Kit in case of punctures. If you want to add even more durability to your pad, you can use Tyvek as an inexpensive ground cloth. Few other materials add as much protection for their weight.
The least durable pad we tested was the Klymit Insulated Static V Lite. Unfortunately, this was the only pad we reviewed that came back with holes in it after a summer of use. Thankfully, inflatable pads are easily patched and most come with patch kits. The most durable pads we tested were the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite SOL and Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest SOLite because they are both made of foam and are virtually indestructible in comparison with inflatable pads. The most durable inflatable pads were the Therm-a-Rest Venture and the Nemo Astro Insulated that are both constructed with 75 denier polyester on the top and bottom.
Best Pads for Specific Applications
Another option for a small portable way to inflate your pad is to use the Therm-A-Rest AirTap Pump Kit. It allows you to turn any bag or stuff sack into a pump for your pad.
With all inflatable pads there is always a chance that the pad could get punctured or the valve could malfunction. To protect yourself in these situations we recommend the Therm-a-Rest Instant Field Repair Kit and the Therm-A-Rest Valve Repair Kit.
Be sure to also watch this video on how to make a back pad for an ultralight backpack using a sleeping pad.
With so many choices out there, it can be more complex than you'd expect to select the right pad for your needs. We hope that you've found our ratings and tests helpful to narrow down to the right pad, or a few top contenders, that meet your needs. If you're still feeling uncertain, you may want to take a look at our companion Buying Advice article.

Cosmetic dentistry is everywhere these days.
With new materials, especially dental "superglues," we're reshaping teeth, filling gaps between teeth, restoring broken teeth, replacing missing teeth, placing lighter braces. The technique is called dental bonding, and the aesthetic result is wonderful.
But it's not forever.
The American Dental Association puts the life of tooth bonding materials at about five years. This may be a conservative estimate, but there will come a time when a bond needs attention.
In general, if you treat a bonded tooth like your other teeth, you'll keep your dental restoration intact longer. Lax home care habits or the wrong foods can hasten wear and tear.
So go easy. If your tooth restoration is brand new, or years old and still flawless, keep smiling. With care, we've seen dental bonding last a long, long time.
Here are some reminders to help lengthen the life of your dental restoration.
Everyone knows Mona Lisa's smile, but who knows what she meant by it?
Psychologists tell us that, in our ancient past, a smile was a gesture of appeasement. They also believe that, to modern man, a smile signals many different messages - recognition, sympathy, apology, lessening of tension, confusion, embarrassment, doubt, joy, delight. A smile, social observers agree, is a mask behind which we can hide our true feelings.
This mask is a complex gesture. First the corners of the lips curl upward. Then, as the smile grows, front teeth are exposed. In our culture we consider people with glistening white teeth and a beautiful smile to be "good" people. Bad teeth, on the other hand, tend to distort the smile "message" because, curiously, we subconsciously judge others by their teeth.
Some people believe that teeth are a more important element of beauty than the eyes.
Have you noticed that, in the movies and on TV, the "good guys" never have broken teeth or a missing tooth? The "bad guys" almost always do.
Nearly all dentistry affects our appearance, and our appearance affects our sense of personal worth. Among the many things that a cosmetic dentist can do to give you a beautiful smile are:
So … cosmetic dentists are scientists, clinicians, artists and image-makers!

If you wish to avoid spoilers and want to see this Uncharted 4 easter egg yourself, than it is probably best that you avoid reading any further or seeing the gallery below. Keep in mind that there aren't any story spoilers here, it is just a surprise easter egg that you may want to remain a surprise until you play the game yourself.
Spoiler Alert!
Uncharted 4 features an amazing Crash Bandicoot easter egg. During early sections of the game Nate and Elena are in their home playing Crash Bandicoot on a PlayStation One, which Nate doesn't seem to recognize. I guess he was too busy killing pirates, and being an action hero he so doesn't know what a PlayStation is even though he is the face of all things PlayStation right now.
Amazing, right? So are they teasing a new game with this or just paying tribute to one of the most loved characters of PlayStation?

On the same day that California parted ways with former linebacker commit Markus Wright, they scored a commitment from Riverside (Calif.) Community College interior offensive lineman Dwayne Wallace.
The 6-foot-5, 330-pounder made his official visit this past weekend, and becomes the second official visitor -- after cornerback Marloshawn Franklin -- to pull the trigger and commit to the Bears.
http://www.scout.com/college/california/story/1619607-wallace-talks-cal-... Wallace profiles as a big, tough, stoutly-built interior lineman, and can play guard, tackle and center.
The Bears will return four offensive linemen next year, but will not return veteran Jordan Rigsbee, a fifth-year senior. Cal has five other offensive linemen committed for the 2016 class, including Florence (Miss.) tackle Gentle Williams, Corona (Calif.) Centennial tackle Daniel Juarez, early signee Jake Curhan out of Larkspur (Calif.) Redwood, CCSF center A.J. McCollum (who just made an official visit to Arizona State this past weekend) and Baldwin Park (Calif.) guard Francisco Perez, one of the top prep linemen on the West Coast.
Wallace will be a mid-year enrollee, and will begin classes at Cal this January. After finishing high school with a 2.4 GPA, he's since posted a 3.4 cumulative GPA at Riverside, where he became acquainted with Cal defensive end DeVante Wilson. It was Wilson who first suggested the Bears take a look at Wallace, and last week, he earned his offer and then quickly pivoted to a visit.
Wallace got his Cal offer just after returning from a visit to Arkansas, and along with the Razorbacks, had offers from the Sun Devils, Fresno State, Kansas State, Louisville (where he was formerly committed), San Diego State, UNLV and Washington State, among others.
Being such a large body, conditioning has been the biggest issue for Wallace throughout his career, and while he's dropped some pounds over the course of the season, he's still going to need a bit of work to re-shape his body, having already dropped 10 pounds of bad weight.
What his bulk does allow him to do is to bring a lot of power to the table, and that's really what stands out on film. That power, though, is now not bereft of quickness or ability to change direction, as it was previously.
As expected with a player Wallace's size, he's at his best going downhill, pulling, and run blocking. He has a natural forward lean, which may need to be adjusted given Cal's two-point stance on the line. However, Wallace is used to that two-point stance, as Riverside plays out of both the two- and the three-point stance.
The lighter Wallace becomes on his feet, the more impact he's going to have have. Think Aaron Cochran but shorter.
His freshman season at Riverside earned him an All-American nod, and he also plays with a mean streak -- something that Rigsbee has in spades. He definitely has some nastiness to him, and Cal's going to need tha going forward.

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, on Monday, left for New Delhi where he will be convening a meeting on 'Diverse Spiritual Traditions in India' on September 20 and 21. Some of the most important issues ailing the society, particularly in context of India, will be discussed in the meeting.
"India has been the birthplace of one of the world's greatest civilisations, giving rise to multiple systems of philosophical schools, spiritual and faith traditions," said a post on spiritual leader's officials website, adding "Philosophical thoughts, including Sankhya, Yoga, Vaishasika, Nyaya, earlier and later Mimamsa, Bodh, Jain and Charvaka emerged and developed with extensive interactions and debates among them reaching to a high level of sophistication."
Similarly, many of the world's great spiritual lineages originated in India: Vedic, Shaiva, Vaishnava, Jain, Buddhist as well as Kabir and Sikh. In addition to these indigenous traditions, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Judaism and Bahai were introduced into India and flourished.
For more than five decades, the Dalai Lama had frequently met with and engaged in numerous dialogues with Indian spiritual leaders, scholars and activists. Drawn from the experiences of these efforts and exchanges, the idea of this meeting was conceived.
It was being hoped that this meeting would be a platform for spiritual leaders to arrive at a strategy for making concerted efforts in tackling many pervasive problems and promoting ethics, said the post, adding "By coming together and discussing, it may be possible to consolidate our efforts in this regard."
Besides, the meeting will discuss various issue related to religion, faith, mutual understanding and environment.

A conman who pretended to be a millionaire to lure Christchurch schoolboys into sex acts has spent his time on parole allegedly running an Auckland nightclub.
Nicholas Birch, 26, was recalled into Corrections custody on Tuesday, during a Sunday Star-Times investigation into his business activity.
He was last week under guard at Dunedin Hospital, apparently being treated for a medical condition, and his Karangahape Rd bar has shut down.
Birch was jailed in 2010 on fraud charges and offences under the Companies and Insolvency Acts while he lived in Christchurch.
He claimed to be a rich businessman and falsely promised young Christchurch men $10,000 to $50,000 in return for sex acts.
He backed up his story with flash cars and expensive apartment furnishings bought with dud cheques, and he pretended to own a Christchurch bar.
Four 16-year-olds and a 19-year-old succumbed to the ruse, only to find later that Birch's cheques had bounced or the bank deposit receipts he provided were fakes.
At his sentencing, Judge Stephen Erber called Birch "a conman" whose risk of reoffending was "considerable".
Birch, who was declared bankrupt in 2008, was released on parole in October 2011. He reported to a Dunedin parole officer but was permitted to travel to do work with racehorses.
Birch is prohibited from being involved, either directly or indirectly, in the management or promotion of a company until 2015.
But the Sunday Star-Times learnt of at least two business ventures linked to Birch in the past year - the most recent Revenge nightclub on Auckland's Karangahape Rd. It shut down last week after Birch allegedly amassed debts to contractors and staff.
Bar owners in the area said Birch, who gave his name as "Nick" or his alias "Nick McLennan", turned up "like a whirlwind" and acted "like a millionaire". He claimed he owned a bar in Dunedin and wanted to break into the Auckland scene, one said.
Companies Office documents show the club is officially owned by former Shortland St actor Rudi Vodanovich, under the company name Lupo Investments Ltd. However, Vodanovich, who played nightclub DJ Holden Smith on the TV show, denied being the owner when contacted. He said the owner's name was "Nick" - a "good friend" he was "helping out".
Further inquiries found Birch approached prominent Auckland businessman and harness racing stud farm owner John Street for financial help. Street said he met Birch through a friend a few weeks ago and he understood Birch was Revenge Bar's "operator".
Street said he had no tie to the bar but had agreed to pay some of Birch's outstanding debts. He said about $70,000 was owing to contractors who did the fit- out and bar staff. "I've put a little bit of money in," Street said.
Street said he expected to get his money back but conceded he had "probably been sucked in a bit".
An old news story about Birch's fraud offending, which included his photo, has started circulating on social media.
"As far as I was concerned it [Revenge] was his bar and he ran it," said Chris Yates, who sold his lease on part of the property to Lupo Investments. "When I . . . saw the newspaper article and saw his photograph, then I realised. People have lost a lot of money in this venture . . . It shouldn't have been allowed to happen."
Building property manager Jared Halligan of Masfen Group did not return calls.
Meanwhile, police have received a complaint about Birch from a New Plymouth horse stud owner.
Cairnlea Stud Bloodstock and Dakota Bloodstock director Rob Lewis claims Birch ran the business then skipped town leaving the company about $45,000 in debt. Lewis said he met Birch through a mutual friend and now regretted putting his name on official documents. "He can talk the talk," Lewis said.
Department of Corrections southern region commissioner Ian Bourke said the interim recall to prison was granted for Birch on Tuesday on the basis he posed an "undue risk".
"As a result, he will face charges in relation to alleged breaches of his parole conditions."
Vodanovich said he would pursue legal action against Birch.

Fast Retailing Feels Japan's Brexit Sting With Strong Yenby and
Company cuts profit forecast on strong yen as sales rise
Stronger yen eroded Uniqlo-owner's earnings from overseas
Billionaire Tadashi Yanai's Fast Retailing Co. gave an early glimpse of the pain a rising yen is bringing to Japan's biggest companies since the U.K. voted to leave the European Union last month.
The company's shares jumped 15 percent, the most since October 2009, after Asia's largest clothing retailer posted third-quarter sales and operating income that beat analyst estimates. Still, Fast Retailing cut its full-year net income forecast by 25 percent for the year ending August due to an estimated 37 billion yen ($350 million) in foreign exchange loss, it said Thursday.
The stock rose to as high as 31,770 yen in Tokyo trading Friday.
Fast Retailing's forecast hit comes amid concern that potentially slowing growth in Europe will weigh on Japanese profits and undermine Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's effort to end deflation and spur expansion. Earnings at 200 of Japan's largest companies would drop about 3.6 percent in the fiscal year, Daiwa Securities Group Inc. estimates, based on the yen averaging 100 against the dollar.
"Brexit is negative for Japanese exporters and companies whose overseas sales ratio is high, like Fast Retailing, because of the stronger yen," said Mitsushige Akino, a Tokyo-based executive officer at Ichiyoshi Asset Management Co. "There may be more companies becoming cautious about forecasting full-year earnings."

Fast Retailing's business operations improved despite the forecast cut, said Chief Financial Officer Takeshi Okazaki at a Tokyo briefing Thursday. The company's forecast is based on an exchange rate of 114.3 yen per dollar for the fiscal year, he said. That compares with a company projection in April of 120.5 yen per dollar.
The company's revised forecast comes as the yen slid against the dollar this week and investors wait for the details of Abe's stimulus plans. The yen is headed for its biggest weekly drop since 1999, trading at 105.17 per dollar at 8:57 a.m. local time.
"The advance of the yen isn't having much impact on our business itself," he said. "No matter what level it's at, I hope the yen will be stable."
Okazaki said the company will need to review its distribution across Europe, but the company won't make substantial changes to its business plan there.
Pain Spreading
The pain of a rising yen post-Brexit is spreading among Japanese companies. Asahi Glass Co., which sells glass for construction and automobiles, said Thursday that preliminary first-half sales are below forecast due to a strong yen.
Last week, Aeon Co., the nation's biggest retailer by sales, reported its worst first quarter in eight years -- a 6.3 billion yen loss. Japanese consumers' anxiety about the future spurred by the market turmoil and a stronger yen weighed on Aeon's earnings, said Executive Vice President Akinori Yamashita.
Since the June 23 Brexit vote, profit estimates for Nissan Motor Co. and Canon Inc. were also cut by analysts on the stronger yen.

Fast Retailing's forecast cut adds pressure on the company as ChairmanYanai pledged to reach his goal of 5 trillion yen sales by 2020 and turn Asia's biggest clothing retailer into a world leader. Net income will probably be 45 billion yen for the year ending August, down from the 60 billion yen forecast it gave in April, the company said Thursday. The company left its forecasts for operating income and revenue unchanged.
Amid stagnant consumption in Japan, the billionaire has adjusted his pricing strategy with a promise to offer the "lowest possible price." The company's shift to a lower price strategy is in the right direction and one Fast Retailing intends to stick to, said Okazaki.
Revenue gained 6 percent to 423 billion yen in the quarter. For the nine months ended May, sales at Uniqlo Japan rose 1.1 percent and overseas sales for the brand jumped 10.6 percent, according to the company. Fast Retailing's quarterly revenue recovered on warm weather in March as the company saw higher average spending.
"We aren't pessimistic about our business," Okazaki said. "We believe there's always demand for good things, so it's important to offer good products at affordable prices."
Read Bloomberg Intelligence's analysis of economy's impact on sales.
Operating income for the third quarter beat estimates, rising 19 percent from a year ago as Uniqlo e-commerce sales jumped 41 percent in Japan. Still, the company expects full-year operating profit to fall about 27 percent to 120 billion yen from a year ago.
A stronger yen impacts the value of Fast Retailing's repatriated earnings from overseas and its foreign-currency denominated assets, while lowering import material costs. The previous trend of yen weakening spurred by Abe's campaign to stimulate the economy had prompted Fast Retailing to raise prices for the brand's fall and winter clothes due to higher fabric costs last year.
A fluctuating yen could prove tricky for the company, said Naoki Fujiwara, chief fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management Co. in Tokyo.
"It's more desirable to have a stable foreign exchange rate for the company to plan production and supply," he said. "Unexpected volatility is a risk."
The company's shares fell 1.7 percent to 27,660 yen at the close in Tokyo trading before the results were released. The Topix gained 0.8 percent.

NFL trainer Steve Saunders and Denver Outlaw Sean DeLaney show IL Fitness two unique core exercises for improving your game.
The core is just as important as any other muscle group, especially when it comes to the athletic demands of lacrosse. A strong core not only increases your shot speed and power, it also improves your body's balance and coordination. Here are two core exercises to help athletes become fast, physical and explosive.
Band Woodchop
This is an excellent rotational exercise that strengthens muscles used for shooting, passing or simply playing a physical game.
How-To: With arms extended, grip the handle with both hands facing the wall. Be sure not to lean; focus on pivoting. Accelerate your hips, upper body and arms away from the wall, watching your hands at all times. Bear down at your core at the end of your movement. Control the negative force on a three-second count back to the wall, keeping your head in line with your hands at all times.
Target Areas: Obliques, Abs & Lower Back
Movement: Rotate as fast as you can with the resistance band fully extended.
The Numbers: 3 sets of 10 reps
DeLaney: "This one really works my abs and obliques. I noticed some pretty dramatic improvement in my shot speed within the first month of doing this exercise."
Medicine Ball Toss
This is a terrific transferable movement for strengthening muscle groups you'll be using during the season. The same muscles and motions are used when shooting or passing in a game situation.
How-To: Start on your knees in a shoulder-width stance, with your entire body in an upright position. Reach back over your head, holding the ball with two hands. Snap and throw overhead, following through completely to emphasize distance on the throw.
Target Areas: Core Muscles, Abs, Obliques, Lower Back, Shoulders & Arms
Movement: An explosive movement using all of these muscles to generate as much power as possible.
The Numbers: 3 sets of 6 reps (weight of ball used depends on the athlete)
DeLaney: "The medicine ball's much harder than it looks. I felt targeted muscle groups were activated at much deeper levels and I felt stronger pretty quickly."
To see video of DeLaney running through these exercises and more, head to InsideLacrosse.TV.

But as the cliché admonishes, looks can be deceiving. Early detection, intervention and treatment are essential for successful treatment and full recovery.

The Eating Disorders Resource Center is the first and one of the only locally based nonprofit organizations focused on eating disorders in Silicon Valley. Bremis relies heavily on her force of volunteers, who inspires her on a daily basis.
Janice considers herself a health advocate and activist, especially in the area of mental health. She works with dedicated volunteers to raise awareness, promote recovery, and advocate for equitable insurance coverage for eating disorders. She has made EDRC the "go-to" place for the South Baycommunity for those seeking treatment and information.

Are you one of the many teenagers born and bought up confused in a western nation, with desi parents so strict that they'd give the conservative ones back in India a run for their money? Well you all have a voice in YouTube stars Jus Reign and Rupan Bal, who are famous for their videos showing Punjabi kids being harangued by their frustrated parents, material for which they've harvested from their own experiences.
"My father was initially quite angry with me and told me that I'd lost my way when I decided to start blogging instead of continuing my higher studies but then when other Indian parents started praising me and the accolades began pouring in, things definitely changed for the better," smiles Canada born Jus Reign aka Jasmeet Singh, 24.
With an interest in breaking stereotypes, Jus also brought his friend Rupan Bal who often plays the scolding Indian mother in their videos. "People asked Jus to cut his hair and lose the turban to make things easier for him," says Rupan, also Canadian, adding further, "but our culture is important to us and our parents have taught us to value and respect our roots."
Jus also started spoofing on his experience as the only Punjabi kid in his all-white school, with 'What white kids say to brown kids' video having clocked over 2 million hits, showcasing in a lighthearted manner, the racial prejudice he and any other Punjabi kids have faced in all-white schools.
Their videos are clearly not all fluff with both Jus and Rupan strongly relying on humour and the liberal arts to correct the image of the South Asian people, particularly after the 9/11 attacks.
"This was one of my biggest challenges, not just overcoming the stereotypes but also trying to get enough people to see that," says Jus.
At present, both Jus and Rupan are in Chandigarh to shoot for director Vishal Parasher's Punjabi film 22g Tusi Ghaint Ho. While Rupan is already a Punjabi film old, this is Jus's first foray into Pollywood. "I have already made inroads into the Canadian and North American entertainment industry and figured it wouldn't hurt to build a foothold here. I had no idea how big my videos here are," says the man whose YouTube shenanigans on his channel 'Jus-Reign' have generated over 50 million hits to date.
"It's obviously an honour to work alongside the legendary Mann saab," they add.
