Concert review by Jimmy Alvarez
In 1972 Led Zeppelin embarked on an ambitious North American Tour that in the end catapulted them into the pantheon of Rock God Legends. In 2013, history may be repeating itself. Eager to get into performance mode, the firm of Bellamy, Wolstenholme and Howard had a lot of hype to live up to. Coming off what seems like one successful campaign after another, the English trio are now victims of their own success. They now have the realization that they are "that band" that is the measurement for "making it."
MUSE kicked off their 2013 North American Tour at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California. Albeit a smaller venue for a band of this caliber, their fans were eager to hear the songs they have come to love off their latest album, THE 2ND LAW.
Band of Skulls opened the show. They did ok, they did their job and entertained the crow. However, for most fans, it was apparent that the wait and anticipation for MUSE to take the stage seemed like an eternity. Finally, after a brief break to set up the stage, the lights dimmed and the roar of the crowd was almost deafening. Coming out to wonderous screams Mathew and Chris were sportin' some very cool black leather jackets, there was even a Morgan Nicholls sighting on Keys, he too had the Johnny Cash Black going on. Meanwhile, Dominic was sportin' a way cool Kill Bill-esque jumpsuit.
The lights dimmed, and they didn't pull any punches, it was an in your face assault on your musical senses. Their opening was eye popping and jaw dropping. They came out with Unsastainable and Supremacy. Bellamy then went into his very dynamic version of the Star Spangled Banner. His performance was impressive, so much so I am sure it would have gotten a nod of approval from Jimi Hendrix and Bellamy's true Guitar Hero-Hero… Tom Morello. They segwayed into a highly amped and enthusiatic rendition of Hysteria.
MUSE had a good balance of older and new songs from THE 2ND LAW. They played combo tunes like Panic Station followed by Super Massive Black Hole. The upbeat and fresh sound of Knights of Cydonia and Time Is Running Out also had the crowd screaming at the top of their lungs; especially when Bellamy merged into the crowd or when he slid across the stage on his knees.
MUSE took the show to an even higher level when they belted out their current alternative hit Madness. It was at that time the light and video program was taking full affect. The visual program was so in sync with the music, it was like the show was in 4D. The graphics and the delivery were absolutely mesmerizing. It was clear by the looks on the faces of the concertgoers that they didn't know which was cooler to watch, the band… or the light and video program. The last time I saw MUSE was at the L.A. Rising show at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. They played along side Rise Against and Rage Against The Machine. Honestly, I didn't think that stage show could ever be outdone, MUSE proved me wrong.
The crowd got to witness a spectacle of video art I haven't seen since Depeche Mode was killing it in their hay day. Dave Gahan and Martin Gore couldn't have programmed a better visual program. The concertgoers got to hear ever more of the songs they have grown to love. Songs like Undisclosed Desires, Plug In Baby and Stockholm Syndrome, which had a very cool outro of Rage Against the Machine's, Freedom!
The show ended by the monolithic video program coming down on the stage and engulfing the band. The cheers of the crowd was deafening. MUSE came out to two encores, which featured Uprising, Starlight and Survival.
In the end, the boys from Devon, England lived up to the hype. There were only a few downsides to the show. I understand this was their first show and the venues will only get bigger. Truth be told, MUSE is simply too loud and grandiose a band for that small a venue.
Now, before we crown MUSE as the new Rock Gods of the music world, they are relatively young, and their on-stage performance will only get better. So to that extent, again, they're victims to criticism due to their own success. Other than these two small considerations, the show proved to be epic, and a sign that a shifting of the Pantheon of Rock Gods may be in the works. Although, I 'm fairly certain that Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones would have approved of their performance.
Paying no disrespect to the Foo Fighters, for now, let's just say MUSE has a solid place as the new END-ALL, BE-ALL and Bee's Knees of the alternative music scene. As Sting laid it out in Love Is The Seventh Wave, these Englishmen are the Kings of ALL they survey.
MUSE is currently engaged in their North American Tour supporting their latest release THE 2ND LAW. For more information on the band, the tour and all that is MUSE, go to www.muse.mu. Catch them while you can on this tour, you might just be seeing history in the making, these cats are that good!

L.A. - When the Dead Rise
Born: Lyon, France – 1995
Age: 20
Status – Dead or Undead
Pepe Leneveu was a French born youth who came to Los Angeles, CA to study film production at UCLA. The man was employed by Peter Long at his pawnshop located on 49th Street in Los Angeles.
Pepe was in the store when the zombies erupted in L.A. He briefly helped defend the store before rashly robbing his boss of several thousand dollars from the register and running off with a hunting rifle. Pepe soon discovered that Peter was chasing his worthless hide down and he ran into an alleyway to get away. Several shots were exchanged between the two men before Peter briefly witnessed Pepe get swarmed by a horde of undead that came upon the French man from behind.

Whether to itemize deductions on your tax return depends on how much you spent on certain expenses last year. Money paid for medical care, mortgage interest, taxes, charitable contributions, casualty losses and miscellaneous deductions can reduce your taxes. If the total amount spent on those categories is more than your standard deduction, you can usually benefit by itemizing.
The standard deduction amounts are based on your filing status and are subject to inflation adjustments each year. For 2009, they are:
- $5,700 for Single
- $11,400 for Married Filing Jointly
- $8,350 for Head of Household
- $5,700 for Married Filing Separately
- $11,400 for Qualifying Widow(er)
Limited itemized deductions Your itemized deductions may be limited if your adjusted gross income is more than $166,800 or $83,400 if you are married filing separately. This limit applies to all itemized deductions except medical and dental expenses, casualty and theft losses of personal use and income producing property, gambling losses and investment interest expenses.
Married Filing Separately When a married couple files separate returns and one spouse itemizes deductions, the other spouse cannot claim the standard deduction and should itemize their deductions.
Some taxpayers are not eligible for the standard deduction They include nonresident aliens, dual-status aliens and individuals who file returns for periods of less than 12 months due to a change in accounting periods.
Forms to use The standard deduction can be taken on Forms 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ. If you qualify for the higher standard deduction for real estate taxes, new motor vehicle taxes, or a net disaster loss, you must attach Schedule L. To itemize your deductions, use Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, and Schedule A, Itemized Deductions.

With the 2016 music festival season approaching are there any plans to promote Decathlons camping range or even have a presence at some of the ones local to the stores? Lots of big ones in close proximity to our existing stores, could be good for brand awareness if nothing else..
on 02-16-2016 02:23 PM
Last festival I did in France, the campign was basically a Quechua ground
on 02-16-2016 02:52 PM
I think that could be the case here too...
I saw a presentation from our Italian team last week that showed them using a metal storage container as a pop up shop for new stores and promotions. Looked great, all fully fitted out and just needed transporting around to the various locations as and when required.
I'll see if I can find a link to the presentation..

Another Cast Announcement for Dollhouse

According to Variety she plays, "the beautiful but ruthless woman in charge of the venue where drones are programmed to perform various missions in the real world."
Designer Label 3D Specs
Would you like to watch movies in 3D but worry that a pair of plastic specs just don't go with your carefully groomed image? Never fear. Variety reports that a US company has teamed up with the makers of Ray-Ban sunglasses to create a range of designer 3D goggles. "You will be using these high-end Ray-Ban glasses at home, on your computer and TV, and then you'll stick them in your pocket and take them to the theatre," says Yuska Siuicki of Kerner Optical. "They are much more comfortable than what is out there now, and the lenses will soon be available in prescription. This space is exploding."
Cute Robot Alert!
More than a few internet pundits have noted that Pixar's Wall-E bears more than a passing resemblance to Number 5 from the '80s SF comedy Short Circuit. And now that it looks like Wall-E is going to be a huge hit, it's no surprise someone has snapped up the rights to remake Short Circuit. According to Variety Dimension Films has acquired the property and the film's original writers, SS Wilson and Brent Maddock, are on board to pen the script.

The Whanganui boys went on a goal-scoring spree at their National U15 Hockey Championship in Invercargill yesterday blasting West Coast 10-nil to secure a quarter final spot.
Feeling a tad disappointed with a nil-all draw with Canterbury on Wednesday, coach Andrew Spence said his team were hungry of victory against the Coasters.
"They really wanted it today," Spence said.
"After the nil-all draw on Wednesday they were a little disappointed. They felt they were a little bit better than Canterbury, but just couldn't put the ball away - they certainly didn't have any problem today."
The win puts Whanganui into the quarter finals and they will now play North Harbour today, a side Spence expects to be competitive.
"North Harbour will be competitive, but I believe if we play anything like we did today, we
can beat them."
The Whanganui under-15 boys have been runners-up of several occasions at this tournament and last year finished fourth - a winning turn this year would not surprise coach Spence.
Meanwhile, the Whanganui girls continued on their unbeaten way at the U15 Championships in Timaru beating Thames Valley 4-0 to find a place in the quarter finals after finishing top of Pool A.
Their game on Thursday, possibly against Auckland, is a late affair kicking off at 5.15pm.
In four games Whanganui girls have only had two goals scored against them, while slotting 17 themselves. That speaks volumes for not only their attacking skills, but their defence as well.

When it comes to buying printed T-shirts, there are whole lot of variety in designs and patterns these days. Earlier, there were only very few choice available with regard to casual clothing and this is no more the scenario as it is possible to find some stunning looking t-shirts at best possible rates. All that you need to do is to be aware as to some important aspects with regard to buying good and top-notch t shirts varieties and go for it. Here are some things to note,
Printed t-shirts have turned out to be hugely popular these days and there is a lot of variety to explore through. Some of the most popular printed t-shirts include that of bad trip, moksha, high beard, interstellar superman, pop blue, flash logo and lot other such interesting printed designs are available with some top and reputed online store. These days, a lot other interesting printed designs are also known to come up in the market and it is up to one to choose over the one that best suits the requirement. It also needs to be understood that the kind of clothing that one gets to wear also has the capability to reflect one's personality and hence one should be well aware of this fact.
Checking on the material is also highly important to make the right kind of purchase decision. Though, there are many different types of materials available with regard to casual clothing, cotton happens to be the most sought after and most interesting material. Cotton T-shirts are a huge hit amongst those who prefer to look stylish and at the same time want to wear something comfortable. Hence, cotton has always been the best and tops the list when compared to all the other materials that are known to be available online.
As far as size is concerned, there are a lot of options to explore. There are some top notch and highly reputed online stores that are known to sell some good quality t-shirts for exceptional cost. The stores are also known to sell in all major sizes ranging from small to large. It needs to be understood that not all store provides for all size Mens T shirts online. However, some stores are able to provide XS, 2XL, 3XL sizes which are quite uncommon. It would be best to check out for those stores and buy from it.

Schedule of the dead
Check it out.
Now, the question is: what are my priorities. Ultimately, I am there to bring you, my readers, the best coverage I can. You have to remember is that I am a fan, too. And this is my first convention. (I've covered some fairly big names in the music biz, so I shouldn't get as starstruck as I might otherwise. But seriously. Look at the schedule and tell me you wouldn't go all fanboy/fangirl over some of this stuff.)
There are some panels that get me excited more than others. The Sunday offerings of an examination of Christian theology in the undead piques my interest as does a panel on the evolution of horror journalism (which I am proud to be a part of).
There are some things I really don't care about, but you might. The "True Blood" programs, for example. Yeah, just not interested. If you, the readers, demand that I go, then fine. I'll go.
I'm excited to see Lucio Fulci's "Zombie," "Day of the Dead" and "The Evil Dead" with a crowd instead of alone in my house.
And the only thing that would make a "Devil's Rejects" screening better than having Sid Haig and Bill Moseley there would be if Mr. and Mrs. Rob Zombie randomly showed up.
And if you're not into horror (then why are you reading this?), there is a "Boondock Saints" panel with Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus.
I told you, this is going to be a great weekend and it's less than 20 days away!

MATSITI is supporting the creation of a national Association of Australian Indigenous Lecturers in Initial Teacher Education (AILITEs).
Indigenous lecturers in Teacher Education perform a crucial role in preparing both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous teachers for the education workforce and are role models for younger generations.
Forming a national Association will increase the professional capacity of the group, by facilitating networking opportunities and providing peer support.
The AILITEs Executive met this week to discuss operational issues and the Association will be formally launched at a conference of all AILITEs, to be held in Adelaide on 29 September, one day prior to the MATSITI #OurMobTeach conference.

Letter from Berlin, the cool capital city of the Western country that arguably has the most brutal history of the Western world and is suddenly being hailed as the last bastion of liberal democracy. Ex-pat Laura Radosh will be writing for ROAR about what it's like to watch from overseas as your country and your ideals go down the drain.
I'm a Brooklyn girl living in Berlin, Germany. And this is the view from here. One day I'll write something about living here. But like many American ex-pats, right now I'm obsessed with the perspective distance gives me. The day I submitted this letter, Ben Carson, currently US Secretary for Housing and Urban Development actually publicly called slaves "immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships, who worked … even harder for less." I wonder in this piece why I'm writing it. I think that may be my answer. Because too many of my compatriots are in dire need of a history lesson.
I'm stuck in a conundrum. After 53% of white women voters voted for the pussy grabber, I decided that was it—I may have identified as a white woman since I first became one, but as of now I'm a Jewish lesbian, or maybe a lesbian Jew (a demographic of which "only" about 1 in 5 is out of their minds according to voting stats). On the other hand, I also think now at the latest it's time to come to terms with the fact that framing our identities as part of our politics has backfired. We thought we were giving the marginalized, often ourselves, a voice. We wanted to reject ways of looking at the world that engendered colonialism and slavery and sexism, and create new analyses and new opportunities. And to some extent, we did. But we also helped create our current situation, where basic civil rights gains in education are under attack (call your representatives).
Last summer, I met a fellow American expat, a black man who'd come here to get away from American racism, because despite the rampant structural racism in Germany, here at least most dangerous people aren't also armed. He said something that's been haunting me ever since. That those of us who grew up in big American cities in the 1970s thought we were some kind of post-sexism, post-homophobia, post-racism vanguard, but we were delusional. We've only always been this weird minority.
When I need to understand something, I read. In this case, I started re-reading our national sage, James Baldwin. Turns out I wasn't the only one. A friend here in Berlin started a James Baldwin reading group and Raoul Peck made that kickass Baldwin documentary I Am Not Your Negro, a 93 minute rant on the state of the nation that you should watch right now if you haven't already. In it, he quotes a speech Baldwin gave at Wayne State University in 1980: "[T]he world is not white; it never was white, cannot be white. White is a metaphor for power, and that is simply a way of describing Chase Manhattan Bank. That is all it means and the people who have tried to rob us of identity have lost their own cross of redemption."
My conundrum isn't new. What does it help to know gender is a construct if it's still mostly women getting raped? Who cares that race is a construct, when young black men are in constant danger of being jailed, or even shot? And how did we get here anyway?
Jamestown, Virginia, 1619 . The first people are sold into slavery on the soil of what is now the USA. We should remember that back then, those doing the selling called themselves "Christians" or "English" or "gentry" and through their actions made those they had captured and sold—who thought of themselves as Kimbundu-speaking people of the Kingdom of Ndongo—into "Africans." Nobody in this equation was yet "white" or "black."
The first documented slave revolt in 1663 was followed a year later by the first colonial law legalizing slavery (in Maryland) and discouraging miscegenation or so-called mixed marriages, by stipulating that "freeborne English women" who married "Negroes or other slaves" would also become slaves, as would their offspring. Even cursory research suggests that after every revolt, new laws were passed in an attempt to prevent the next one. Laws are one of the best reflections of a society's values and definitions. And every single definition of race in the colonies and early American states was linked to slavery.
The reaction to the alliance of (mostly European) indentured servants and (mostly African) slaves in Jamestown in the 1676 Bacon's Rebellion (oft touted as an uprising of the poor against the powerful, but just as much if not more a battle of everyone against the Indians), is generally seen as the moment in which racial slavery was cemented in America . The NY slave revolt of 1712 led to laws preventing slaves (at the time 20 percent of New York City's population) from congregating or owning firearms. The 1739 Stono Rebellion in South Carolina led to the Negro Act of 1740, which tried to prevent manumission by making it expensive to free slaves and forcing slave holders to go to court to do so. The list goes on and on.
Interestingly Britain, while it had colonies and a slave trade, did not have slavery on its soil, only indentured servitude. These unpaid servants were set free after a certain number of years and even had to be set free by law if they converted to Christianity. So the colonies had to abandon British common law to make lifelong slavery (first documented in 1640) legal. Virginia, the largest slave-holding state, "in 1667 adopted Roman law rule of partus sequitur ventrem, [so] these problems would disappear. This was the legal rule applied to livestock and other domestic animals: that the offspring of a domestic animal belonged to the owner of the female who gave birth." This law defined black women as property or not human. Until then, it had never been applied to people. In fact in Britain it could not even be applied to swans, because they were royal animals. The 1667 law, which also instated lifelong slavery for blacks (named as such, but not defined), also stipulated that Christian slaves were no longer to be freed.
So "Africans" became "black" in order to 1) define a population that could be property forever, saving the landed gentry LOTS of money. 2) keep black slaves and white indentured servants and Indians from banding together to overthrow their oppressors 3) define a population that could even give birth to a new generation of life-long slaves (see 1). Of course if there was a "black", there would have to be a "white," defined first and foremost and sometimes only in miscegenation laws. So "white" was constructed to keep slave owners (the vast majority of whom were of European descent ) separate from their "black" slaves, and to make sure Europeans who mingled too closely with the latter also became "black" (or the women and all children of those unions, white men who married or raped black women remained white).
By 1896, when Plessy v. Ferguson came before the Supreme Court (the case that tried to end and ended up confirming segregation), the court was forced to note that "It is true that the question of the proportion of colored blood necessary to constitute a colored person, as distinguished from a white person, is one upon which there is a difference of opinion in the different states;" but they didn't let that deter them, deciding instead that definitions could be left to each state. And so anti-miscegenation laws remained on the books until 1967. Tell that to the next person who tries to tell you slavery ended in 1863.
Why a history lesson on slavery when I started out saying it's past time to focus less on identity and more on politics (you know, making climate justice a reality, defending the rights of immigrants and transpeople, saving public education)? Because we need to know the formative myths of our country so we can reject them and focus on real values like empathy and kindness. And above all: freedom. The dictionary definition of redemption is 'the process of offsetting a defect'. The foundational defect of our country is slavery. Unredeemed, we are trapped in this legacy. Or, in the words of Emma Lazarus, the poet who wrote that much trampled-upon verse on Liberty's pedestal: "Until we are all free, we are none of us free."
Laura Radosh is a Brooklyn-bred, Berlin-based translator. Mostly she uses her words to channel social science and humanities research, though currently she's working on a hard sci-fi novel. She's delighted to use them here to hold high the banner of intersectional feminism.

Where are the profits from Black Friday really going?
Images of people scrambling, pushing and even fighting to discover the best bargains have become commonplace on our TV screens every Black Friday.
Little attention has been paid to the companies behind the event which have raked in huge profits, often at the expense of injured customers.
Below we take a closer look at some of those reaping in huge revenues on Black Friday and find that ethics are often an afterthought.
So, we ask this Black Friday, where is consumers' hard earned cash really going?
Amazon, a US-based company, is considered to have brought this shopping frenzy to the UK in 2010. During Black Friday 2014, Amazon achieved its busiest sales day to date with 5.5 million items ordered at a rate of 64 items per second.
Ethical Consumer has a campaign against Amazon for its consistent use of tax avoidance. In 2014, Amazon paid just 11.9 million in corporate taxes on sales of £5.3bn, a rate of less than 0.3%.
Amazon has recently suffered a number of other scandals, in particular the way it treats its workers, both in its Seattle offices and in its supply chain.
Read our feature on Amazon and Tax which questions its recent declaration that it will start paying a fairer share of tax.
The GAME website has already begun advertising Black Friday deals which confirms it will be participating in this year's sales race. This news seems surprising as GAME profits slumped as a result of Black Friday in 2014. Competitor prices put pressure on GAME to sell a number of top quality games at a lower price.
GAME went into administration in 2012 and was bought out my Duodi Investments SARL. This company is registered in Luxembourg despite GAME being a UK company that trades only in the UK. This suggests that profits from Black Friday may head straight to Luxembourg, dodging HMRC.
In 2014, Currys had to implement a queuing system online to deal with the thousands of online shoppers searching for sales and subsequently crashing its website.
After record sales last year, Chief executive of Currys, Seb James, claimed: "I think it could be here forever. It's a good promotional item and we are planning next year now".
Currys parent company (Dixons) has recently merged with the Carephone Warehouse and the ultimate holding company is now known as Dixons Carphone. Dixons has scored a worst rating for likely use of tax avoidance strategies when we rated them last year and have subsidiaries in the tax havens of Gibralta and the Isle of Man.
The company also scored worst for environmental reporting and supply chain management. We hope that the new company will perform better in the coming years as it restructures.
Like many retailers, Ebay plan to take advantage of Black Friday and this monday marked the beginning of 8 days of discounts. Last year, Ebay said its Black Friday numbers were up by 6.97% compared to 2013.
Ebay is incorporated in Delaware an infamous tax secrecy jurisdiction. The company also has subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Singapore, Mauritius and the British Virgin Islands which all feature on Ethical Consumer's tax haven list.
Backlash against Black Friday
A backlash against Black Friday and Cyber Monday has seen MPs, such as Lib Dem MP Greg Mulholland, urge British retailers to boycott Black Friday because of the strain it causes on police resources.
ASDA recently announced that it would not be using Black Friday as a key sales event this year. ASDA has always been keen to take advantage of the period and last year had already taken £2 million in sales by mid afternoon. It is thought likely that the negative attention received after chaos at the Wembley ASDA store in 2014, which was captured by TV cameras, has had an impact on this decision.
Many consumers are now also turning their backs on the frenzied sales. For instance the alternative 'Buy Nothing Day' (November 27) now falls on the same day as Black Friday and challenges the over consumption that Black Friday has encouraged.
'Buy Nothing Day', which originated in Canada in the mid 90's, has been re-invigorated in recent years as a response to Black Friday with campaigners using the #Shoplesslivemore on twitter.
We agree that Black Friday 'sucks the life out of small business, who cannot compete'. Therefore if you feel the urge to spend some cash then consider more ethical online retailers which, unlike Ebay, Amazon and Game, are more likely to be paying their fair share of tax.

American roulette - Contaminated dietary supplements
The New England Journal of Medicine
~By Pieter A. Cohen, M.D
In one of the most dangerous cities in the United States, one portly police sergeant has more to worry about than crime. His doctor had been encouraging him for years to lose weight, and like millions of other Americans, he decided to try a weight-loss supplement to help him shed his extra pounds. But instead of losing weight, he lost his job. According to the label, his diet pills, which were imported from Brazil and sold in the United States, contained vitamin E, centella, senna, and cascara, among other "natural" ingredients. Not included on the label was the amphetamine detected in his urine drug screen. The now-unemployed sergeant is not alone. Such contaminated supplements represent an emerging risk to public health.

Getting into the Swim of Things
So, you've decided to get in the water again. It's probably been a while since you last hit the pool. Maybe you swam your final conference meet or NCAAs a few months ago, or it could be a decade or three since you last attempted a swim practice. Maybe you're a triathlete or fitness swimmer attending your first organized water workout. In any event, that first practice can often be daunting. Following a few simple rules of thumb may improve your perspective, prepare you for the experience, and keep you coming back for more.

No Sweat: Five Easy Ways to Stay Hydrated
For a swimmer, hydration is often at the bottom of the list of things to think about during training. But contrary to conventional wisdom, swimmers do sweat during practice, losing as much as six to eight ounces of fluid every 15 minutes. To find out how to combat the effects of dehydration, SwimNetwork checked in with Australian sports physiologist and coach Rod Cedaro and sports nutritionist Nancy Clark. They offered these reliable methods to ensure you down enough water before you hit the water.

Competitive swimming's dirty little secret
~By Mark Starr - GlobalPost Columnist
What was always sexy about the sport -- in a healthy rather than a salacious way -- was the great bodies that reflected the extraordinary dedication of these athletes. There were long and lean ones, short and stocky ones and pretty much everything in between.
Now all the bodies are hidden behind the same space-age fabrics. So when you've seen one swimmer, you've seen them all. They actually resemble boats more than human beings. However, if we want to watch boat races, there's far more beauty and pageantry in the America's Cup.
The good news is that I'm hardly the only one who has noticed that technology in the pool is a turnoff. FINA, the international swimming federation, commissioned a study of the new body suits earlier this year and is considering new regulations on swim gear at its meeting this week in Switzerland. For starters, it rejected 10 swimsuit models outright and is requiring modification of another 136 models (out of 348 swimsuits from 21 manufacturers studied by its committee).
New Study Reveals Swimming Can Cut Men's Risk of Dying in Half
By: PR Newswire
Research shows swimming may be the prescription for longevity
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study shows that swimming cuts men's risk of dying by about 50% compared to runners, walkers and sedentary peers. The University of South Carolina study led by Dr. Steven Blair evaluated comprehensive physical exams and behavioral surveys from thousands of people who were enrolled in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS) over the last 32 years. The results were presented at the 2008 World Aquatic Health(TM) Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and have been published in the International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education.
"Swimmers had the lowest death rate," explains Blair. He adds that the study takes into account age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol intake, hypertension, other medical factors and family history. "This is the first report that examined mortality rates among swimmers in comparison with other types of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle. We conclude that men who swim for exercise have better survival rates than their sedentary peers," he summarizes.

A note about Simon Owens:
Simon started swimming in middle school and by the time he was in high school was swimming year round on both the school team and a private club team. His best stroke was butterfly (100 Fly for individual and Fly on the medley relay). For college Simon went to Shippensburg (Pennsylvania) and swam there. He initially became interested in the Asthma/pool issue earlier last year when he first saw reports of the Belgian study. Given that swimming is usually regarded a good sport for asthmatics, it didn't seem logical that it would cause asthma.
Hey Dean,
I remember seeing a lot of coverage a few months ago on several pool and swimming blogs of a recent Belgian study suggesting that children would face an increased risk of asthma if they swam in chlorinated pools. I don't know if you've seen this, but Dr. Michael Goodman, an epidemiologist from Emory University just released a meta study that found no such correlation between swimming and asthma. I got a chance to interview Goodman for an article that was guest posted on The Asthma Mom's blog:
Anyway, I thought this was a post that you might be interested in linking to on your blog to help spread the word that parents don't have to be afraid to let their kids join swim teams. Also, I know that Dr. Goodman is going to be available for a blogger conference call with swim bloggers on Monday of next week at 3 p.m. -- I know the person running that call and I can get you in on it if you'd like.

Exercise Success Secret for People with MS: Be Confident
~By Julie Stachowiak, Ph.D.
I would love to say that I am perfect and talk about my wonderful exercise routine that includes yoga, swimming, strength training and other things that I do to stay healthy. The reality is that I have never really loved exercise, and MS has given me about a million convenient excuses why I won't put on my exercise gear and head to the gym (of course, I'm always going to exercise tomorrow).

Diary of a Dying Mom
I was asked by Mark Mayer (Michelle's brother) to pass this along. Although not necessarily directly related to swim training, it is however related to many of the things that motiviate us to pursue our dreams and aspirations both in and out of the pool. I would say Michelle's willingness to share her very personal thoughts, blessings, frustrations, and feelings, prove that the relationships we make along life's way are what make our goals and dreams worthwhile.

How Swimming Saved My Daughter's Life
~By Kathy Villarreal, mother of Monica
I've always known about the amazing benefits of swimming -- the excellent cardio-vascular workout with few, if any, injuries; the satisfaction of setting goals, training hard, and seeing success at swim meets; the friendships made with swimmers from all over the city and state; and the knowledge that swimming is a sport that is lifelong. Having been a competitive swimmer myself, I encouraged all my children to swim. They started with the summer swim league and eventually became year-round swimmers. For the past five years, my family has been active at Northside Aquatics (410 pool) and today four of my five children are enrolled in the various club programs. Needless to say, I am a huge fan of swimming, but I didn't realize the impact that swimming had on my children's lives, that is, not until my child contracted staph pneumonia and nearly died.

Cramping Your Style 'Dealing With Cramps In The Pool'
~By Haydn Wooley
Ever been half way through a hard swim or kick set and all-of-a-sudden, whammo - your calf tightens up like someone just kicked you? Well, that type of cramping is such a common complaint that I hear it at least once in every squad session. The good news is that it is quite easy to diagnose and also easy to fix, if you can be honest about what you feel.

I don't WANT to be an Olympian!
~By Glenn Mills
The other day, a coaching friend was telling me about a comment a swimmer had made. In trying to get a point across to an athlete, the coach related a story she had read about one of our current Olympic swimmers. The swimmer's response was, "But I don't WANT to be an Olympian."

Pondering My Retirement
Note: In my "other job" I'm often reading economic journals related to forecasts and trends in the global economy. Today from Investors Insight there's a wonderful article related to Corn Ethanol. Happily for all of you in the athletic community, the author Gary Halbert also has an "other job", one that he's unfortunately considering retirement. Read below.
~By Gary Halbert
It was 32 years ago this month when I began my career in the investment business in 1976 at the ripe old age of 24. I have been in it ever since. It has been an interesting ride, and I have always had the hands-down best clients on the planet. But this year, I've been thinking of retiring. Yes, retiring at the age of 56.
But before you drop your jaw, let me assure you I am not thinking about retiring from my career in the investment business. Rather, I am considering retiring from my other job which is coaching youth sports. My son graduated from high school in May and will be off to college in the fall, so my coaching days, with him at least, are officially over.
Swallow This
~By Gretchen Reynolds
From the perspective of an athlete, few things top the virtuous satisfaction that comes from a hard workout. That 10-mile run, that 1,500-meter pool sprint, that hour with the free weights. Makes you feel great, right? You'll do it again tomorrow, for sure. But then it hits -- the aftermath.

There's something to be said for dreaming and to have the courage to dream big. More important is to be brave enough to go after those dreams. Could you imagine all the skepticism and ridicule this couple had to endure?
Great story. Here's an excerpt:
"I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would do something like that in my life," Cat confesses. "I think you just have to be open-minded and willing to take chances and risks and not be afraid ... You just have to open your mind to other cultures and countries and, you know, like Pat says, 98 percent of the people in this world are good people. On a day-to-day basis you're meeting the average person in the world and they're just like you."
Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE)
I've never heard of this condition. As an asthmatic, I can't help but to wonder how many of us out there that may suffer from SIPE, either in addition to or exclusive of chronic (or exercise induced) asthma.
~Written by: Katherine "Kat" Calder-Becker and Charles "Trey" C. Miller, III, Ph.D.
via Slowtwitch.com: [Editor's note: What follows was born of a thread on our reader forum. Information sharing is a good thing, and often helps those with questions locate those with answers. Five real life, first-person stories are told below, interspersed with the best current information on SIPE. Thanks to our two authors, both practicing triathletes, both SIPE-stricken while racing. "Kat" gathered the chronicles. "Trey" explains the condition.]
KAT writes: The first time this happened to me was at the Mooseman half-Ironman race in June 2007. I began experiencing shortness of breath at 750m into the swim. I felt tightness in my chest - almost like an asthma attack, or that my wetsuit was too tight. Then, fluid began to build in my lungs and I developed a slight cough. I ended up doing the 'backstroke' for the last 750m of the swim in order to get to shore. I tried to keep racing and pushed through the complete bike leg, then had to stop at the beginning of the run as I was completely unable to get oxygen and was wheezing. That was 4 hours and 17 minutes into the event. I ended up in an ambulance on oxygen, and was released on site once my breathing improved.

The Endless Health Benefits of Swimming
Yes, we know we're preaching to the choir here, but it's still a pretty good article...
You dive into the pool for a game of Marco Polo or to cool down from the hot summer heat. You love the calming feeling of being submerged in water and the fun factor of frolicking in the pool like you were 10 years old again. But do you ever just swim for exercise and for the array of the health benefits of swimming? Don't be a fish out of water when it comes to knowing just how wonderful swimming is for your mind, body and soul…
Taking Control and Fulfilling My Passion
~by Judi Rich, Dynoswimmer
"To plunge into the water, to move one's whole body, from head to toe, in its wild and graceful beauty; to twist about in its pure depths, this is for me a delight only comparable to love."
~Paul Valéry, French poet and critic
At 41 years of age, I finally found, once again, what had been missing for so long in my life—swimming. Not just going out back and wading in the pool or doing a few laps on my own; or going to the beach and doing a few dozen laps between lifeguard stands—but getting back on a team and doing "real structured workouts". Being around others who also share my passion of swimming, who encourage me, and who love the water as much as I do. Swimming alone just doesn't compare to being on a team and for 13 years I had been searching for just that—a masters team that is supportive, that competes and who would challenge my abilities.

Working Near Chlorine Pools Tied to Lung Problems
Editors Note: I think this article is complete nonsense. The benefits of swimming outweigh the risks to an overwhelming degree. It's just an alarmist contrarian point of view for the sake of being so. By the way, I'm an asthmatic, without swimming, who knows where I'd be right now.

Study Shows Why Exercise Boosts Brainpower
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Exercise boosts brainpower by building new brain cells in a brain region linked with memory and memory loss, U.S. researchers reported Monday.
Tests on mice showed they grew new brain cells in a brain region called the dentate gyrus, a part of the hippocampus that is known to be affected in the age-related memory decline that begins around age 30 for most humans.
Competitive Swimming Harder than Most Think
January 25,2007
~Kate Lohnes, Monitor Staff Writer
Competitive swimming is one of the best-kept secrets in the United States, said Dave Thomas, the southern zone sport development consultant for U.S.A. Swimming (the national governing body for the sport). That isn't to say swimming is a small sport: it's actually one of the biggest in the country.
"Swimming is a lot more popular than people realize," he said. "There's millions of Americans participating in swimming as an activity every day."
Love It or Hate It, Swimming is Good Exercise
~By Martin Smith
I hate swimming. And I love swimming.
I hate it because my legs don't float, my stroke mechanics would make a physicist cry, and for all the energy expended, my body goes absolutely nowhere. I love it when, after swimming nearly 500 yards and I'm no longer afraid of drowning, I get a moment of clarity. I love the feeling of the water swishing past my ears. I love the warmth of the water's embrace, and the solitude that the quiet provides. The water is a magical place and when I'm not struggling to stay atop it, I enjoy it. Swimming is great aerobic exercise because it works the large muscle groups of the back and the legs, as well as using the arms.

"I Did It!" Is Only the Beginning
~By Barbara Hummel
In swimming, in school, in our careers, and in our lives, we are constantly advised to set goals for ourselves and to lay out the steps to reach those goals. At the same time, we're also advised to see the journey – our daily "practice" as being more important than reaching the goal.
What we don't always consider is what happens when we REACH a goal. What does it mean to accomplish what you set out to do? Are you finished? Are you complete? How do you figure out where to go and what comes next? How do you shift gears…and goals…to get to a new level?
The Hydration Continuum: Beverage Choices for Active People
By Heidi Skolnik, MS, CDN, FACSM
For Active.com
September 11, 2006
Everybody pretty much understands that staying hydrated is essential to helping you feel and perform at your best. According to the Journal of Sports Science, exercisers who drink fluids and maintain hydration can last up to 33 percent longer compared to those who don't drink any fluids during a workout. And, even as little as two percent dehydration can cause a drop in endurance.
The Hydration Continuum (continued)
The "New" Food Pyramid
Dedicated to the food pyramid designed by government nutritionists. In the past couple of years the pyramid has changed a bit, and this website has many fun tools that reflect those changes. For instance, try the game that rates your eating habits (it's for kids, but what the heck). Additionally, If you scroll down the window you will see a section called "Spotlights". In that section there is a link that says "My Pyramid for kids"; click on it and it will take you to another page. Next you'll see the "MyPyramid Blast Off Game"; click on it and this will start the game. Try the game out, it's actually not that bad, and it's actually kind of funny.

Of course, the ones we mentioned yesterday aren't the only idioms in the Filipino language. Here are 10 more expressions that anyone learning the national language of the Philippines should know.
"Bungang Araw"
Literal Translation: "The sun's fruit"
What it actually means: This is the Filipino term for prickly heat, since it "blossoms" after overexposure to the heat from the sun.
Example: "Sorry, I can't go to the beach with you. I have bungang araw."
"Dalawa ang Bibig"
Literal Translation: "Two mouths"
What it actually means: Someone who is so talkative, they might as well have two mouths.
Example: "You know that friend of yours from yesterday? He was quite the life of the party! Dalawa ang bibig eh!"
"Magdilang Anghel"
Literal Translation: "Have the tongue of an angel"
What it actually means: This is uttered in the hope that something, a statement or a wish, will come true — much like the proclamations of an angel.
Example: "Stop worrying about the exam results. You'll pass with flying colors, I just know it!" "Magdilang anghel ka sana."
"Ningas Kugon"
Literal Translation: "Flaming cogon (a type of grass)"
What it actually means: If a person changes interests faster than they change clothes, they're considered ningas kugon. It also refers to the phenomenon where someone is initially enthusiastic about a venture, but then gradually loses the will to follow through as time goes on.
Example: "Wow, look at all our first day sales! Our business will be a success, I just know it!" "I don't know, sir. Our customers are pretty ningas kugon when it comes to trends."
"Magsunog ng Kilay"
Literal Translation: "Burning the eyebrows"
What it actually means: Just as Westerners "burn the midnight oil" when working long and hard into the night, Filipinos burn their eyebrows. In a figurative way, of course.
Example: "Good grief, my deadlines have piled up one after the other. Magsusunog ako ng kilay tonight."
Literal Translation: "Windy"
What it actually means: When a person is a braggart, it's said that they're mahangin or full of air, similar to the Western "windbag."
Example: "I don't like that guy you hang out with. He's so mahangin. All talk, no walk."
"Magaan ang Loob"
Literal Translation: "Light insides"
What it actually means: When a Filipino says that they have "light insides" with you, it means they're comfortable around you.
Example: "So far, you've shown yourself to be reliable, trustworthy, and full of integrity. That's why magaan ang loob ko when it comes to you."
"Malikot ang kamay"
Literal Translation: "Fidgety hands"
What it actually means: When a person has kleptomaniac tendencies, they are said to be malikot ang kamay. If the person is an actual thief (specifically, a petty one), they're also called mabilis ang kamay ("quick hands")
Example: "I'd be careful around that child if I were you. They may look innocent, but malikot ang kamay niyan. I suggest you keep your valuables as far away from that child as you can."
"Kumukulo ang dugo"
Literal Translation: "Boiling blood"
What it actually means: This is one of those Filipino expressions that, when transliterated into English, means the same thing as its Western counterpart. When you're so angry that you feel like your top could blow over any minute, you're said to be kumukulo ang dugo.
Example: "Goodness gracious, one misfortune after another. Kumukulo na ang dugo ko, ah!"
"Kuskos balungos"
Literal Translation: "Rubbing a fish's snout vigorously"
What it actually means: When someone takes too long to get to the point, or when they make a fuss out of something trivial, they are said to be kuskos balungos.
Example: "For goodness sake, stop being so kuskos balungos! What is it that you're trying to tell me?" "Uh, your zipper was down the whole time you were on the stage."
Bonus words:
- Balimbing – can refer to a type of fruit, but can also be used to describe a person who switches sides without batting an eyelash. Often used as a derogatory term for Filipino politicians who change parties whenever it's convenient for them.
- Balat-Kalabaw – thick-skinned like a carabao. Has a similar meaning as makapal ang mukha, but less pejorative.
- Makapal/Butas/Sukat ang Bulsa – has a thick/thin/just right-sized wallet, respectively. Used to describe the state of one's finances.
- Pag-iisang dibdib – "Dibdib" literally means chest, but in this context, it means heart. Literally, the union of two hearts, or the marriage of two people.
- Saling-pusa – Literally, a cat who joins. Used to refer to children who join in on adult activities.
And that wraps up our two-part series on Filipino idioms. If you have any thoughts about this post, or any of the previous posts, please don't hesitate to join in on the discussion and comment below!
