These revelers throng Germany's capital to experience its thriving electronic music scene, regarded as among the world's best.
The clubs are an integral part of Berlin's culture and economy. Yet instead of nurturing and supporting them, authorities appear bent on making life more difficult for the clubs.
That, at least, is how many club owners felt after receiving letters from their local tax office, notifying them of hefty, delinquent tax bills. The tax office is arguing that the clubs had been paying the wrong rate for years.
In Germany the normal sales tax is 19 percent. However there is a lower, 7 percent tax rate for cultural events such as concerts. In 2005, the Federal Tax Court ruled that turntables, mixing desks and CD players could be considered instruments. The court said that if a DJ didn't just replay records, but mixed them and used these instruments for performance, then the activity could be classified as a concert.
Many clubs took that as their cue to start paying just 7 percent from the tickets for many of their club nights.
Last fall, however, tax officials said that club nights are not concerts at all. They are demanding the difference between the two tax rates, going back to 2005.
Cookies owner Heinz Gindullis has already launched a legal challenge to the higher tax, something that is being regarded as a test case by the other clubs. The unwelcome letters came from the tax offices in the districts of Mitte and Friedrichshain. These areas just happen to be the nexus of Berlin's thriving club scene. Techno venues there include Berghain, regarded as one of the world's top clubs, as well as Cookies and Weekend.
According to Lutz Leichsenring, spokesman for the Club Commission, the organization that represents Berlin's clubs, the tax office sent undercover agents into the clubs to investigate. They came to the conclusion that they were not concerts because people stood around, talked, drank and danced, but didn't look up at the DJ often enough. Other factors such as the lack of a pre-sale of tickets or posters advertising the event, and the fact that there was a selective door policy, are also reported to have influenced the decision.
Leichsenring says that the Club Commission doesn't argue that all events are like concerts but he insists that many, involving DJs mixing and playing their own music are. "There is a difference between a disco where a DJ plays mainstream music, playing one record after another, and a club where the artists play their own music, that they have created themselves, and perhaps change that on stage, mixing different records." He says that there is uncertainty for the clubs because while the 7 percent tax rate is only charged on concerts, there no clear definition of what a concert is:
"The officials are supposed to have gone into the clubs to judge whether or not it is a concert and reported back. That is not unusual for the tax office, but the question is whether these people are capable of actually judging that, and what guidelines they used to make that judgement."
Furthermore, he argues, while the clubs may not advertise with posters or sell tickets in advance, many DJs publicize their appearance through fan sites and Facebook. As for the infamous bouncers at the doors of many clubs, that is a vital element in maintaining the clubs for true techno fans, he argues.
The Club Commission recently met with Berlin's finance department to negotiate criteria for future events that could be deemed 'concert-like,' thus having a lower tax rate. The criteria could include requiring a concrete line-up, and a specific starting time, but would not include other things like posters or tickets, according to preliminary discussions.
He says there is frustration within the scene that techno music is still not valued as a much as other creative pursuits:
"You get the impression that pop culture, youth culture, electronic music, are not being really recognized as cultural contributions. Berlin is one of the leading cities in the world when it comes to this, but these people don't seem to have caught on to this."
Carmel Crowe, who lives in Dublin, Ireland, is among those who greatly appreciate Berlin's creative contribution. She has already visited the city six times and says that the main draw is the electronic music scene. "I go to clubs in Dublin, London, anywhere I travel really and Berlin has one of the best techno scenes in the world at the moment." Crowe says that while the clubs have a great reputation, the main attraction is the DJs from all over the world who play in the city. "A lot of them are based there and have residencies in the Berlin clubs. When I'm coming I don't tend to target a club, I look at the line-ups of who is playing and then I would follow the DJ rather than the club."
The influx of techno fans like Crowe make up the so-called EasyJet-Set - revellers from across Europe who flock to the city on discount airlines to hit the dance-floors. They have helped make Berlin the third most popular tourist destination in Europe after London and Paris.
Leichsenring says that the techno music industry in Berlin alone employs over 13,000 people and has a turnover of around €1 billion a year. And the clubbers don't just come to dance, they spend money on hotels, hostels, rental apartments, as well as restaurants, bars and shops.
And while there is a certain element of the rowdy pub-crawl type of tourism that plagues many European cities, clubbers like Crowe are really here for the music. "The people who come to Berlin are the kind who like this experimental, subversive scene," says Leichsenring. "They have a clear desire to experience quality and something new. That is why the clubs say that the people come because of the artists and why they should be classified as concerts." Crowe agrees: "The type of techno that is in Berlin is more of an underground scene, that's what people are drawn to. They don't want the sort of mainstream, commercial scene which you can find anywhere in the world."

What started as aspirations to complete Ironman Florida has now turned into a recovery mission from FAI - hip surgery - and a hopeful return to recreational Ironman.

IMMT Road Paving Update: Sep 3.
The road condition is excellent and as previously mentioned, wider than the pre-construction route. While there were no lines painted on the pavement yet, you could see there would be about 2-3 of shoulder. This section of the course is constantly going up and down and turning. It will be a really fun section and take everyone's mind off the workload of racing IM or HIM.
There is no other evidence of paving at this point in the region but at least the shoulder on the 117 Northbound looks to be in great shape. It is about 6 feet wide and assuming my hip injury continues to improve, I will hopefully be able to ride it in a few weeks. We know this section of road climbs a lot at the first turn, but the last 10 km or so before the turnaround is relatively flat as it passes through farmland and meandering waterways (Riviere Rouge). It is beautiful an very scenic, offering views of Tremblant ski area in the distance. The southbound section of the 117 has been freshly paved, so you will enjoy that if you are up training on the course these days...only the northbound section will be used during the IM and HIM.
I have no idea when they plan to repave other sections of the route, but the one that needed the most attention, got it. That's all for now. Thanks for reading.
August (injury month) totals:
Swim - 7.5K
Bike - 91K
Run - 40K

Hey Jon - Duplessis is just the beginning. About 75% of the course will be redone. When are you coming up this fall?
Moreover, $7.5 million is going towards investment and infrastructure for the race. "The Quebec government is going to repave and redo the roads for at least 75 percent of the course," Piche said. "That's going to give us wider roads and bike paths on each side so when the athletes come to train and acclimate they are going to have that bike path to secure them."
Plans are to completely redo and widen Duplessis road. The main portion of work and new pavement is scheduled for Montee Ryan and Route 117. The bike course will also be completely closed to 95 percent of traffic and they are closing highway 117 northbound, which will give participants 40 km of complete highway access.

Greetings from Italy !
I got a slot for IMMT and I hope to have finally my comeback to IM races after a break of 3 years due to an endless list of injuries.
It's my first IM out of europe and MT it will be a perfect place to start with.
You did an outstanding coverage of the bike course; if I understood properly (sorry for my english) the course is "rolling" without "heartbreak-hills": correct?
Do you have rough idea of the total climbing elevation?
Run course: I think that the starting climb (to do a second time after 21k) will be really tasking and painful, but the worst part will be the steep descent at 6k and 27k !
Do you have a garmin file of the course (or part of it) ?
Thanks a lot for your excellent e very useful blog.
Paolo Paolo - welcome! Glad you found the information useful. Ironically, my parents (who live at Tremblant) are off to Italy on a bike trip next week! I am sure your country will not disappoint!!
Congrats on the return to IM after much recovery. I am sure you will love IMMT. There are some short, steep climbs on the course (one at 15%), as well as some long moderate ones, but everything is relative. It would be a difficult course for anyone coming from flat topography, but if you have done some cycling in the mountains of Italy, you will be very well prepared!
I did not bring my Garmin last trip around so I don't have an exact file of the bike loop.
The run course will not be too bad - it won't be a marathon PR course but when I saw IMLP run course and the hill back into town - IMMT has nothing like it. IMMT is more civilized :-). All my weekend runs last winter were on the course and I survived....I am not a runner and found the hills to be slow going at first, but I improved over time. Perhaps 10-12K (of the 42k course) will be completely flat. The rest is nothing an Ironman contender would have a problem with. Let me know if you have more questions!- AnonymousSeptember 14, 2011 at 4:38 AM
Thanks for your answer
I guess your parents will ride in Tuscany: quiet roads, landscapes, arts, food and wine...
Glad to hear that your recovery is on the right way: I wwish all the best for the next 7 weeks leading to IMFL.
P.S. how can I post a message like a user end not like Anonymous?

Basic to Parallel or Serial connection?
Of course it's possible. Both. Serial is easiest, it has lots of basic support (RS-232 basic extensions). Parallel (printer port) is a bit more manual, but you can use stuff like out and in to get data on/from it.
parallel easy. use out command i used it to for lots to conect to the prt: port
Manuel, Serial is easiest you said can you give me a example please: for input and output and how to begin a program/ and than close the program(Serial). I will not findout the weel again, when there are people that are so very kind to give a little help!
You can find my e-mailadress under my avatar in the administration.When you need it. Thanks Frits
(edit) When I know more, than I can continue my work with what already am doing meteorological measurements to refine. That's not a 'GAME' in the air, but an improved measurement of new and easy way for me to measure and program.
And that all with MSX2 and in MSX Basic language. I do not need the hurry(speedup)in the computer, but only accuracy of the moment from the measurement in Ohm's, Volts, Speed, Temperature,Humidity,rotation,ADC,DAC,Freq,Light or samething else. (THat all with formulas, where the MSX is verry good in it)
Do you ahve a serial interface then? If so, which?
see this interface you can mesure light temperature and sound and use basic instruction
ADC Input card via cartridge, Output and Input card via cartridge, 82C55 24 I/O via cartridge thats is all with programming in 8bits parellel and adressing in Basic.But I want now via RS232C or SPI (Joystick interface) in serial programming with Basic!
Making the hardware is easy for me, but I have never done befor progamming in serial programming. It is not the problem to program in Basic only some things what I need to know for Serial programming like rs232 or SPI or PIO or FIO etc.(juts in Basic)
Paraller port is the most easy one, but it is output only:
LPRINT <string>
sends bytes to paraller port
If you want to control directly the pins D0-D7 then you can use command:
OUT &H91,<byte>
LPRINT "Hello World!";
Serial is a bit harder... If you don't have RS-232 BIOS then you need some assembler knowledge... If you have RS-232 BIOS, then check out chapter 4.1 in MSX Technical Data Book:
30 PRINT #1,"Hello World!";
Nyyrikki, thanks for your answer. It was verry usefull!
I hope the Gods of "The East Forest" will you be profitable to hunt in the woods after the "Ice Coffee" and the teeth that is verry sensitive!
I feel that everthing is coming Good! I feel it on my coffee-teeth.
" Oma hammas on herkkä kahvi!" The MSX"bibel" is great!

So...if you can handle my newbiness, I would be willing to play. If you're looking for more experienced players, I would not take offense.

Yes, the VIP parking is extra.
Yes, the VIP parking is extra.
the wristband with the heart also allowed backstage access, artist compound access, etc. way more access than "vip'. also, a majority of those passes are paid for by the people wearing them or someone they know who paid for them, there are hardly any comps anymore.
you didn't earn your way there any more than most of us in there. cool how you are able to judge so many just by looking at them, dumbass. i have been making my way out there for 9 years in a row, spend a lot of time, money, and effort to do so, and even risk what is left of my health to be there. tell me i don't care as much as anyone else on those polo fields.

I know someone who was given a <3 wristband and didn't go backstage or anything at all like that because she was chicken.
biggest benefit? golf cart rides to all the stages.
Tell your buddy I want one of those next year. lol
damn, those "guest" sections seemed pretty huge, i just assumed they were VIP, which i thought was kinda cool, but still don't know if it would persuade me to upgrade next year. were there ever very many "guests" occupying those spaces or were they mostly swaths of unoccupied prime real estate?
every day, every year
definitely filled up at night, there was plenty of room during the day.
They advertise Safari (S) as Artist level (A), but it's really not. It is actually equivalent to Artist Guest (Heart) pass. The only real difference is the Artists can actually get between the front rail and the photographers pit area. Other than that you have access to pretty much everything. In fact we actually got to walk the festival grounds on Thursday night while they were still setting up.
Question: there seem to be some restaurants only located in VIP areas, does that mean only VIP people can order from them? Is this a dumb question?

Johnson all but concedes title to Keselowski
November 11, 2012, Joe Menzer, NASCAR.com
AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Jimmie Johnson elected to wait to have all the Florida votes counted before officially conceding the 2012 Sprint Cup championship to Brad Keselowski. But he knows his outlook is bleak, and all the polls are now running heavily against him. Johnson entered Sunday's Advocare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway looking to build on the seven-point lead he carried into it in the Chase for the Sprint Cup standings. He left with a 20-point deficit to Brad Keselowski after slamming into the wall on Lap 234 of the scheduled 312-lap race (that ended up going 319 because of a green-white-checkered finish). Johnson said he felt a slight vibration in his No. 48 Chevrolet right before his right-front tire went flat, sending him sailing into the Turn 4 wall at high speed. A Goodyear official said the flat resulted from a melted bead in Johnson's right-front tire that appeared to be the result of excessive braking. "That's the way it goes. Anything can happen in racing. I hate to see it potentially end this way -- but again, that's racing." --JIMMIE JOHNSON "We were cruising along, and I think we were going to have a top-10 day, maybe a top-five day if things worked out at the end," said Johnson, who was running seventh at the time. "I had a slight vibration starting in the right front. I didn't know where it was really coming from, but we know now that it was the right front. As I was coming off Turn 4 it went down and straight into the wall I went. "Another 30, 40 feet around the corner, and I probably would have just had a flat and not even hit the wall. But where it let go, I had a direct line into the wall and knocked it down." He knew immediately that his day -- and likely his hopes for a sixth championship in seven seasons -- was in serious jeopardy. "I knew it was going to be bad even before I hit the wall," he said. "I knew we would be taking the car behind the [pit-road] wall [for major repairs]." He spent considerable time in the garage getting the car fixed, as crew chief Chad Knaus barked orders to crew members and others who arrived from the Hendrick Motorsports crew of teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. to swarm over the wounded car. By the time it was fixed to the point that Johnson could get back on the track, he was 38 laps down and only 40 scheduled laps remained in the race. Johnson ended up finishing 32nd, and 39 laps behind race winner Kevin Harvick. Keselowski avoided trouble all day and ended up finishing sixth, plus picking up a valuable extra bonus point for leading at least one lap on an afternoon when Johnson was unable to accomplish that. Now all Keselowski must do to clinch his first championship in next Sunday's season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway -- no matter what Johnson does -- is finish 15th or better with no laps led, 16th or better with at least one lap led, or 17th or better with the most laps led. Asked to assess what now are his slim championship hopes, Johnson said: "It's way, way out of our control after the problem we had [Sunday]. We still have to go to Homestead and race, and anything can happen down there. But this is not the position you want to be in leaving Phoenix. "That's the way it goes. Anything can happen in racing. I'm very proud of the year. I'm very proud of the effort the entire team has put in. I hate to see it potentially end this way -- but again, that's racing. I've been doing this a long time. I've won a few championships and I've lost a lot. Losing isn't any fun, but we'll be back next weekend and next year hungrier than ever and do the best we can."

In a sql server 2008 r2 database, I have a question about using a datetime field. I have a column called start_date that is setup in the database as a datetime column. I want to setup a parameter in a stored procedure that will select the date I pick. Right now I have the parameter setup like the following: @Start_Date datetime = NULL. when I pass a value like 01/17/2012 in the @Start_Date paramter, no records are selected. However I know there are records where the start_date in the database = 01/17/2012. It is probably due to the time part of the datetime value. Thus can you tell me what I can do to pass the value of 01/17/2012 to the stored procedure and/or tell me what exact value I should pass to the stored procedure so the records I want are selected?
The most simplest thing you could do is declare a variable @end_date , set it to next day DECLARE @end_date DATETIME SET @end_date= @start_date+1 and write your where clause as below WHERE start_date >=@start_date and start_date<@end_Date The above query will return you all the records for a particular date you pass in @start_date
As per my understanding , you are trying to use single parameter for your date searches that can be applicable if you use the below where clause : Wheredatediff(D,Start_date,@Start_Date)=0 Kindly work out it and let me know you your feedback

At the Edge of the Abyss
The chapter on Israel in the U.S. State Department's 2009 Report on International Religious Freedom presents Israel in an embarrassing light - as one of the 30 countries "where violations of religious freedom have been noteworthy."
The chapter on Israel in the U.S. State Department's 2009 Report on International Religious Freedom, issued in October, presents Israel in an embarrassing light - as one of the 30 countries "where violations of religious freedom have been noteworthy." According to the Americans, Israel is more similar to Russia or Turkey than it is to Saudi Arabia or Iran, but that's small comfort.
The report addresses at length the fact that one-quarter of students in the Jewish school system in Israel do not study general subjects such as English, mathematics and the sciences, and will thus find it difficult to enter the labor market. Like most Israelis, the Americans do not draw the correct conclusions: The difficult situation of today is just a promo - if the current trend continues things will get much worse here.
According to studies carried out by economist Eli Berman of the University of California, San Diego, Israel's ultra-Orthodox population doubles every 16 years. Thirteen percent of Israelis who are eligible for the draft each year "enlist" in yeshivas. The Israel Defense Forces predicts that in 10 years one in every four 18-year-olds will evade service by studying in a yeshiva. For a long time now the problem has gone beyond discrimination; we are on the brink of a problem of national security.
According to researchers of the Israel 2028 project, headed by Eli Hurvitz and David Brodet, barring a significant change to the fertility rate in the Haredi community, the ultra-Orthodox will represent more than one-fifth of Israel's Jewish population in 2028.
A new forecast by Gilad Malach, a researcher at the Metzilah Center for Zionist, Jewish, Liberal and Humanist Thought, finds that if the annual rate of natural increase among Haredim stays at 5 percent, by 2050 they will comprise 37 percent of Israeli Jews - assuming that non-Haredim will want to remain here to support them. This is not science fiction. It's exactly what occurred in Jerusalem in the past generation.
Why are we talking about the ultra-Orthodox birthrate? And why is it a problem? Because when it comes to the economy and national defense, Israeli society is supporting the Haredim. This was difficult but doable in the 1980s, when the Haredim were only 4 percent of the population. It is impossible now, when they are about 10 percent.
It is liable to bring down Israel's economy and society in 20 years, turning Israel into a third-world country with an atrophied economy and increasing disrespect for human rights. In the most pessimistic scenarios it could lead to a partition of the state, or to civil war. It has happened in other places. It could happen here.
The solution is not for the ultra-Orthodox to stop being ultra-Orthodox, but rather for them to start working and serving in the army, to integrate into mainstream society like Haredim in London or New York. But the Haredi leaders lack the necessary vision, fail to understand the scope of the national threat and do everything in their power to maintain the status quo under which the men in the community do not work.
Since the Haredi community will not change voluntarily, there is no option but to make some tough decisions: The introduction of English, math and science studies must become a condition for receiving state school funding, and quotas must be set for the number of yeshiva students exempted from the draft. The cut in child allowances and other government support a few years ago increased Haredi participation in the workforce, but not sufficiently. For that to happen, assistance to large families must be made conditional on joining the labor market.
These decisions must be made immediately, for two reasons. First, because if they are delayed for a decade it could be too late to prevent the plunge into the abyss. Second, because the political power of the Haredim is increasing, and any delay will make it harder to legislate these decisions, which are critical for the state and the Haredim themselves.

Neighborhood Wealth Distributions
This paper uses data from the neighborhood clusters sample of the 1989 American Housing Survey and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and its 1989 wealth supplement to study the distribution of wealth within US residential neighborhoods. It uses the Bourguignon decomposable inequality index and finds that wealth is more unequally distributed than income, and income more than housing wealth, at all levels of aggregation, that is, neighborhoods, metropolitan areas, regions and the entire US.

Who knew that, when Scarlett Johansson married the actor Ryan Reynolds in 2008, Samuel L Jackson gave the happy couple a large number of bees?
"We had a colony of 10,000 delivered to our doorstep," recalled a mystified Reynolds. "We definitely had a conversation about bees. Just idle chit-chat. Somewhere in the back of Sam's mind, he must have thought, 'The best gift I can give them is a swarm of bees'."
Samuel L's present may be less eccentric (though not much) than it appears. It has been the way of celebrities, real and fictional, to keep the honey producers for almost 3,000 years.
Alexander the Great was an early beekeeper, presumably influenced by his boyhood tutor Aristotle, whose analysis of bees' habits was amazingly accurate, even if he did refer to the queen as the king (probably because he was sexist).
Sherlock Holmes took up the hobby when he retired to the West Downs of Sussex (though Conan Doyle does not record whether, in answer to a question about what he wanted pollinated, he replied "a lemon tree, my dear Watson"). Henry Ford and Sir Edmund Hillary were also fans, while current hive-owners include Suggs from Madness (author of the hit single "It Must Bee Love"), jailbird domestic deity Martha Stewart, former US vice-presidential Spelling Bee champion Dan 'Potatoe' Quayle, and our own people's poet Pam Ayres, the third generation of her family to keep them. "It is an old-fashioned thing," says Ayres, "but I am a beekeeper, my dad was a beekeeper and my granny was a beekeeper. My youngest is good with bees and said he'd like a hive of his own."
Considering the concerns about rapidly declining numbers, it is a relief to know there are still enough around to sate the celebrity market.
It is not known what became of their wedding gift when Johansson and Reynolds divorced last year. Perhaps they went through them one by one, dividing them up like CDs. More likely, perhaps, they agreed to give them up for adoption, if they hadn't done so the day after they returned from honeymoon.
Still, it could have been worse. They might have idly chit-chatted with Samuel L Jackson about cobras, in which case he would almost certainly have sent them instead a consignment of snakes on a plane.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Back in the '60s, Bay Area artists like Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud reacted to the abstract expressionism that was sweeping New York (think Jackson Pollock and Cy Twombly) by focusing more on the human figure. Joan Brown was a descendant of that gang but has always suffered from second-string status, an undervaluation that a current show at the San Jose Museum of Art, "This Kind of Bird Flies Backward," should correct. The exhibit surveys Brown's whole career but focuses on her intense 1970s period (Portrait of a Girl, from 1971, is shown). That's when she traded in her thick oils for quick-drying enamel house paint and let loose with a frank spontaneity about her life and relationships that rivaled the abstract expressionists' Sturm und Drang. Brown was at her best in 1976, between husbands (she was married four times in her brief 52 years), when she took off for Europe with a lover and chronicled her travels in a series called The Journey. From the first painting (in which she shows herself pulling along a man with a valise) to the last (in which she's left holding the bag), you cannot help following her deeply emotional path.

Apple Galette
Sometimes I want to play in my kitchen and make 4000 step dessert recipes, and sometimes I just want something easy. Galettes, those fantasticly rustic, free-form, french tarts, decidedly fall into the easy category. The other day I whipped up a delicious Apple Galette.
I had a small chunk of my gf puff pastry sitting in my frig, but this could be easily made with refrigerator pie crust. Roll out your pastry dough on a sheet of parchment paper.
Don't worry about making a perfect circle. Galettes aren't about perfection.
I spread out some apricot preserves, but this would be wonderful with apple butter, or whatever you have on hand.
Normally I'd use a Granny Smith apple, but I had Red Delicious in the house. No worries, it turned out awesome regardless. Peel, core, and slice 3-4 apples into 1/8" thick wedges.
Toss your apples with 2 tbsps sugar, 1 tsp apple jack or apple brandy, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Arrange overlapping, so that they're pretty.
Using the parchment paper to help you, turn up the edges of the pastry, creasing as you go. Chill for 15 minutes, and brush with butter, then sprinkle on 1 tbsp sugar.
Place in a preheated oven at 400 for 15 minutes before reducing the heat to 375 for another 30 minutes. Let cool enough to eat before slicing. This is terrific on it's own or if you're a more is more kindof person, a scoop of vanilla icecream completes this.
Thanks for popping in and baking with me. I'm linking up to Gluten-Free Homemaker's Gluten-Free Wednesdays and Just a Girl's Show and Share Day.

A toned mid-chest slims your torso and strength in this area improves your posture. To achieve these results, implement a chest strength-training program at least twice a week in addition to training the other muscles groups in your body. Also include a daily aerobic exercise routine to help shed fat all over your body. As you physically progress with your mid-chest workout, to add weight or sets regularly to ensure further muscular growth.
Classic Bench Press
One of the most traditional and popular exercises for strengthening your central chest is the bench press. Lie on a weight bench with your upper body below the weight rack. Place your hands on the barbell slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and push the bar off the rack until the your arms are completely straight and perpendicular to the floor. Slowly bend your elbows and bring the bar to your chest. Straighten your arms, and push the bar straight in the air until your arms are straightened once again. Perform three sets of 10 repetitions.
Cable Cross-Overs
Stand between both sides of a cable strength machine with a hand grip in each hand. Begin the movement with your back straight and abdominal muscles tight. Bring your arms straight out on both sides of your body, parallel with the floor. Putting a slight bend in your elbow, bring the two cable handles together, directly in front of your mid-chest. Slowly return the cable handles to the original position and repeat for three sets of 10 repetitions.
Chest Dips
Grasp two parallel bars while standing between them. Lean forward slightly, and slowly lift your body off the floor until your arms are almost completely straight, keeping your legs bent at the knee. Bend at the elbow and lower your body until your arms form 90-degree angles. Perform three sets of 10 repetitions. If you are not yet strong enough to perform a chest dip on parallel bars, use an assisted dip machine. Place your feet on the moving platform of the machine, and perform the same movement used in the traditional chest dip.
Dumbbell Chest Flies
Sit on a slightly inclined weight bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Raise your arms out to your sides until they are parallel with the floor. Bend your elbows slightly, then bring the weights toward one another until your palms are facing each other in front of your body. Slowly return the weights to the original position. Perform three sets of 10 repetitions of this exercise.

Knoxville, Tennessee's WHITECHAPEL recently parted ways with drummer Kevin Lane and replaced him with Ben Harclerode of the Glendale, Arizona band KNIGHTS OF THE ABYSS. Lane is said to have returned home to Kingsport, Tennessee and is planning to go back to school.
Kevin has released the following statement in response to Internet speculation regarding his departure from the group: "Over the past years I've had the experience of a lifetime and gotten to travel the world with not only a great band of musicians but some of my best friends. Unfortunately, that time has come to an end. My playing had a falling out over the past year, thus I've decided to come home for good and go back to school full-time. "The past few tours I had the privilege of my good friend Gavin Parsons to fill my shoes, and now another phenomenal drummer who I believe will do leaps and bounds of improvement to the band as a whole, Ben Harclerode, has moved into the position until the decision for a full-time drummer has been made." WHITECHAPEL founding member and guitarist Alex Wade adds: "It's sad to see Kevin go; he was not just a fellow bandmember, but like a brother to all of us. "I think it is honorable of him to step down to better the band. He is still, and always will be, an amazing drummer and talented musician; I believe it is just time for a new chapter for WHITECHAPEL. "That being said, we would like to welcome Ben Harclerode to the band to fill the drumming position. In my opinion, he is one of the most solid and talented drummers in modern metal and we couldn't be more excited for him to be playing with us. Ben will be helping us out until we take further measures to decide on a permanent drummer, but that is just something that is not needed right now, nor are we taking submissions." Catch Ben Harclerode and the rest of the WHITECHAPEL guys as they tour across the states as headliners on the "Welcome to Hell Tour" featuring THE ACACIA STRAIN, VEIL OF MAYA, CHELSEA GRIN, and I DECLARE WAR. WHITECHAPEL filmed a video for the song "Breeding Violence" this past Saturday, January 8 at Rocketown in Nashville, Tennessee. The clip was directed by Scott Hansen, who has previously worked on videos for ILL NIÑO, ANIMALS AS LEADERS, WILLIE NELSON, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and A DAY TO REMEMBER, among others. WHITECHAPEL's third album, "A New Era Of Corruption", sold around 10,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 43 on The Billboard 200 chart. Released on June 8 via Metal Blade Records, the CD was recorded at Audiohammer studios in Sanford, Florida with acclaimed producer Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, ALL THAT REMAINS, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, CHIMAIRA, DEVILDRIVER). WHITECHAPEL's previous album, "This Is Exile", opened with 5,900 copies in July 2008 to land at No. 117. New WHITECHAPEL drummer Ben Harclerode:Former WHITECHAPEL Drummer Explains His Departure

On May 6, 2014, Andrew J. Bowden, Director of the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations ("OCIE"), gave a speech entitled "Spreading Sunshine in Private Equity" to the Private Fund Compliance Forum (sponsored by Private Equity International) in New York.
The OCIE administers the SEC's "examination and inspection" program, and oversees a multitude of registrants, including investment advisers, investment companies and broker-dealers. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, many private equity and other funds are now required to register with the SEC and are also subject to SEC inspection and certain other regulatory requirements. This statutory change brought an end to the minimal regulatory environment in which most private equity funds operated in for decades.
At the outset, Director Bowden presented an overview of the OCIE's initial efforts to understand, and begin oversight of, the private equity industry. Director Bowden highlighted certain differences – some inherent and some borne of practice – in the private equity industry that pose different regulatory (including disclosure) challenges than those associated with regulating publicly-traded registrants. Some of these differences, certain of which have been addressed publicly by other SEC officials, include:
Given these differences, Director Bowden described a number of observations from more than 150 examinations of private equity funds conducted by OCIE. In over half of the examinations, Director Bowden noted that OCIE found what it believes to be "violations of law or material weaknesses in controls" with respect to the treatment of fees and expenses. Director Bowden seemed to, at a fundamental level, take the position that private equity funds do not adequately disclose to investors the manner in which the funds allocate fees and expenses. For instance, the Director noted the typical practice of allocating "operating partner" expenses to a fund's portfolio companies or to the fund itself, which the Director characterized as creating a "back door" fee that investors do not expect. In addition, Director Bowden spent some time discussing the inconsistent valuation methodologies that are sometimes used by a private equity fund, especially during the fundraising cycle, although he noted that OCIE only seeks to ensure consistency of valuation methodologies and has no intention of determining the type of methodologies employed by any particular fund.
In his concluding remarks, the Director stated that there is room for improvement in the overall compliance programs of many funds. In addition to promoting a culture of compliance, Director Bowden posited that funds would foster more effective compliance by involving compliance personnel in the deal-making process, including participating in investment committee meetings and reviewing deal memos.

US Credit Rating was just Downgraded Again…
Ratings firm Egan-Jones cut its credit rating on the U.S. government to "AA-" from "AA," citing its opinion that quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve would hurt the U.S. economy and the country's credit quality. http://www.cnbc.com/id/49037337
From Fox Business: Fearing the negative repercussions of the Federal Reserve's latest easy-money program, ratings firm Egan-Jones once again slashed the U.S.'s credit rating on Friday.
The latest downgrade brings the firm's rating on the world's largest economy down to "AA-," which is three notches below the coveted "AAA" threshold.
Egan-Jones said it believes the Fed's third round of quantitative easing, which sent stock prices surging on Thursday, "will hurt the U.S. economy and, by extension, credit quality."

WEC scenarios project marches into its next phase
Posted on 1 October 2012
The WEC Scenarios Study Group has taken the Global Energy Scenarios project into its next phase following a workshop in London last week (27ã28 September).
The first run of modelling, carried out by the scenarios modelling partner, Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), has highlighted some initial key messages about the future of energy to 2050.
The workshop was held to discuss the first-run modelling results. These were based on the scenario stories developed through the expert insight and in-depth research carried out by more than 40 experts from the Scenarios Study Group.
The group, consisting of modelling experts, energy consultants, and top energy executives from five continents, discussed how a range of ãcritical leversã and emerging issues could inform the energy scenariosã storylines. These issues include carbon price, the cost of carbon capture and storage (CCS), and the future of gas as an important fuel in developing countries.
Dr Karl Rose, WEC Director of Studies, who is leading the scenarios project, said that the modelling has affirmed the validity of the scenario stories and its assumptions. ãWe checked, re-checked, and re-affirmed the scenario construct,ã he said. ã[The workshop] confirmed that we have the right scenarios and the right input.ã
The group also identified areas needing deeper investigation ã the role of gas in heavy road transport, nuclear energy for energy security in developing countries, and the development of renewables in the global energy mix.
The study team will use insights gathered from workshops involving the larger WEC community to refine the scenario stories and to develop strategic messages for policymakers and decision-makers.
The scenario study group will present some initial global messages to WEC member committees at the Executive Assembly in November this year. The studyãs final findings will be launched at the World Energy Congress in October 2013.
The workshop was chaired by the Executive Chair of Scenarios, Rob Whitney, who is also Chair of the WECãs New Zealand member committee.
