LA Fitness representatives continue their aggressive sales pitches. But meeting with them seems to confirm that Bally is probably not threatened, as it’s not a direct competitor. The LA Fitness franchise features a range of facilities, and the new club slated to open in September is in the top tier. The place will feature more space, more equipment and more cleanliness. LA Fitness will have longer hours, a childcare area and a juice bar with Wi-Fi. The membership fees are much higher than Bally. LA Fitness is offering deals for early sign-ups, yet the prices are rising as the opening approaches. However, the reps are quick to assure potential members that the contracts are month-to-month and easy to end. One guy remarked, “We don’t want members who don’t want to be members.” Finally, LA Fitness toilet seats are designed to perfectly conform to your ass. Yep, Bally doesn’t compete at all.
Enjoy your workout.

Bally celebrates Independence Day with reduced hours at the South Loop and Loop clubs. The South Loop club is closing at 6:00pm on Friday and 2:00pm on Saturday, with regular hours for Sunday. The Loop club posted signs announcing they’re only open until 3:00pm on Friday, and will be closed on Saturday. Um, somebody should tell the sign maker that the Loop club is always closed on Saturday. The Loop club was also distributing flyers for the IAHV Yogathon on Sunday. His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will be holding a special session. If H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a Bally member, we’ll eat our yoga mat.
Enjoy your workout.

Chris Horner walks his bike to the end of his driveway, swings a leg over the saddle and pushes off. The three-time national road racing champion and professional puller of men up mountains pedals out of the cul-de-sac, past desert-colored houses with toys in driveways and garden hoses on lawns. An easy, neighborhood ride, a ride he's done a hundred times.

Two weeks ago, it would have been impossible.

This is a test, the first time that Horner has ridden a bike since he crashed 6,000 miles away at the Giro d'Italia. He's been holed up at home in Bend, willing a hairline leg fracture to heal. Now, he has a month before the leg needs to support not only its owner, but also the best bike racing team in the world heading into one of sports' most grueling events: the Tour de France. But all that hinges on a phone call that could come as early as Sunday.

In his early 30s, he dominated U.S. road cycling, winning everything in sight. But he struggled in Europe, returned to the States, won more races and now, at the antique age of 37, he's making his second assault on Europe. To everyone's surprise, including his own, he's peaking on the Astana team, riding alongside seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and 2007 Tour winner Alberto Contador.

"My form keeps getting better and better," Horner says, explaining his late-career surge. "I'm enjoying racing more than I ever have."

Johan Bruyneel, Astana's team director, put it more plainly on his blog after Horner broke his leg in the Giro. "Chris is a big talent and really can do anything asked -- chase on the flats, go up the climbs with the leaders, provide good morale and team atmosphere, etc. If he recovers nicely, he'll definitely be a strong candidate for the Tour team. Simply put -- he's the type of guy you want to take with you to war!"

If he recovers nicely.

Horner has been riding well for the team this year, but he doesn't yet know if he'll make the final cut for the Tour. He's thought to be the only Oregonian to ride the fabled race, which he's done three times, but never on a team like this. And while he is on the strongest team, he still has to fight for one of just nine spots on the Astana squad that will start the Tour in Monaco on July 4.

With the clock ticking, can he recover his racing form at home, a place he comes back to between every race, but also the place with the most distractions?

"You're only as good as your last race," says Horner, who turned pro in 1995. At the advanced age of 37, he's still peaking. "I enjoy racing more than I ever have."

When he's in Bend, Horner is a fulltime dad to Aarika, 11, Kali, 9 and Garrett, 7. That means backing the bike training down to three or four hours a day instead of five or six. It means waking up the kids at 6:30 a.m., making breakfast and driving them to school. Squeezing training rides in before picking them up again. Then homework, dinner, showers, bed.

Born in San Diego, Horner has lived in Bend for the past nine years. He chose the high-desert town because it has what he wants: a kid-friendly lifestyle, good rides at altitude, decent weather and a degree of anonymity.

Racers turn self-absorption into an art form, but instead of the typical pattern of all-day training and recovery (stretching, massage, napping, noshing, lying around) Horner is spending Saturday afternoon jumping up and down on the reluctant kickstarter of Aarika's motocross bike in the middle of the desert.

Horner is a racer, but he's also a dad, so the sacrifices come on both sides. Between training camp in January and the end of racing season in October, he's away from home for weeks at a time. When he's gone, the kids stay with their mom across town.

"The sacrifices are huge," he says. "You don't get to see your kids. You don't get to see your girlfriend. The kids are the funniest thing because you get to the end of the driveway and you already miss them. When you come back home from a race, they're the first thing that gives you a headache."

Horner runs all the scenarios in his head. He's one of the world's top climbers -- light, wiry, inexhaustible -- which makes him invaluable in helping either Contador, who is favored to win this year, or Armstrong, who has defined his career by dominating this race. But will his leg hold up over three weeks, 2,200 miles and climbing the equivalent of three Everests?

He can't imagine he won't get the call.

"In May, you think about the Tour every day," he says. "In June, you think about it every minute."

10 on the pain scale

Horner bends all the stereotypes of an elite cyclist. He's one of the oldest racers at the front of the pack. A single dad. Owns two trucks. Inhales junk food like a teenager. Lives in Bend instead of cycle-mad Europe.

"He's one of the smartest bike racers out there," says Levi Leipheimer, an Astana teammate who is a close friend and is among the strongest American riders expected to be in the Tour this year.

"He's very strong, a versatile rider. He can be there in the mountains, he can be there in the sprints. He's great at a lot of things."

Last week, Horner, Leipheimer and Armstrong got in some high-altitude training in Aspen, Colo. Leipheimer said Horner was riding well. "He's taking great care of himself. Still skinny. He's in the process of recovering. I don't think he's that far off."

In big races, Horner yanks Leipheimer and other teammates up the Alps and the Dolomites, cutting their wind resistance and preventing breakaways by other teams. He's a rider who sacrifices his own glory for the good of the team. He has no aspirations to win the Tour himself.

"I don't work on sprints in my training because I know that's never going to be what feeds the munchkins," he says. "So, you want to pay the bills? You gotta work on what you're good at, and that's climbing. They're paying me to climb well."

On a bike, Horner looks steely, coiled. The muscles on his pencil legs undulate under his skin like cables. At home, he's animated, talkative, easy to like. He has a boyish laugh and chats easily about trucks, bikes, diets, raising three high-spirited kids and retirement. A farmer's tan brings out the freckles on his arms and legs.

But racing requires mental and physical toughness beyond imagining. Even in a sport where crashing is common, Horner's season has been a brutal trade between injury and success. His three major goals this year were to ride in the Tour of California, the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France. In February, he injured a knee in a crash at the Tour of California. Then, four days back into racing in April, he crashed in the Tour of Basque Country in Spain, fracturing a shoulder and a few ribs.

Still, he was "smokin'" when he arrived at the Giro last month, one of cycling's three Grand Tours, like pro golf's four major tournaments. The Giro is every bit as challenging as the Tour, but it's more dangerous. So dangerous that Armstrong and others protested one of the stages this year.

Halfway through it, Horner, who was in 11th place in the overall standings, was near the front of the peloton, rounding a downhill curve at 40 mph. Suddenly, two riders in front of him went down. He swerved to avoid them, but the turn was too tight and he slammed into the hillside, hitting his head, left knee and a still-sore shoulder.

On a scale from one to 10, the pain was a 10, he says.

But pros don't quit when they crash. If they can't finish a stage, they're out of the race, so Horner got back on his bike. His left leg hurt like a charley horse, but for the next 115 miles, he raced on, relying on his right leg for 70 percent of his power.

His doctor, who has treated plenty of Horner's injuries, was stunned after diagnosing him back in the States. "I cannot believe you finished the race after the injury by riding 100 more miles," Dr. Allen Richburg wrote to him in an e-mail.

Horner downplays his toughness.

"You live your whole career to do races like that. You always crash, but if you can still pedal and get a good night's sleep, you'll probably heal up OK."

He didn't. The next morning, he couldn't even stand on the leg.

"Redneck"

There's nothing unusual about the gray, single-story house Horner rents in Bend for $800 a month. Until you look in the garage. You'd expect a couple of bikes, but 21? Some of them belong to his kids and his girlfriend, Megan Elliott, 27, a former national road champion herself. Still, it looks like an REI sale: road bikes, mountain bikes, a lemon-yellow time-trial bike, motocross bikes, gear bags, wheels, tools, bike stands and an air compressor cover the floor and walls.

All the stuff -- plus a rental house in Spain and one he's buying in San Diego -- suggests he's well paid (he won't say how well), but it leaves no room for his Chevy Silverado 3500 crewcab, the one with dually wheels that gets 17 miles per gallon.

"I love that truck," Horner says. "That's my baby. She's my big booty girl."

He also owns another truck and three cars, prompting Armstrong to nickname him "Redneck." He and Armstrong also joke about their ages, but Horner is quick to point out that the other guy is one month older, making them the two senior citizens on Astana.

Horner may be the only redneck who shaves his legs.

And keeps breaking the same bones.

"He has the worst luck," says Elliott, who's been with Horner for almost four years. "But he always bounces back."

For a lot of cyclists, often younger racers, setbacks can seem like the end of the world. Not Horner. "Maybe the rest of the day he's bummed," Elliott says, "but already, he's looking forward to the next race, the next opportunity."

At 5-foot-11, Horner is tall for a racer, but he weighs a mere 140 pounds, the lightest he's been as a professional. Astana lists him as 154, but while recovering from this year's injuries, he began a strict diet to lose weight so he could climb faster. He consumed just 2,000 calories a day -- less than prisoners in Texas get. Breakfast was tea and toast.

"I can't train any harder," he says. "I'm at the max of what the body can handle. I've tried everything else and this is the only thing left."

Elliott, who just finished her first year in law school in San Diego, is his unofficial nutritionist, and doesn't worry about him sacrificing power in the name of shedding weight. "He's good at reading his body," she says.

Now back on the bike, he's doubled the calories. He'll increase that to 6,000 to 6,500 a day for races, but he earns his Belgian nickname honestly. They call him "Snickers man." Amateur riders, hide your eyes: Before a 50-mile ride, he downed a Dr Pepper and a chocolate chip cookie.

Dad duty

Trouble. The instant Horner walks in the door from that 50-miler, he finds Kali with her head down on the kitchen counter. Elliott put her in a timeout for going to the park by herself, a big no-no. When she sees Dad, she bursts into tears.

Still sweaty from the ride, Dad sends her to her room, telling her that she can't have her allowance and can't motocross with the family that afternoon.

"And I was thinking about getting you a new bike tomorrow," he says. "That's not going to happen."

Horner is a hands-on dad, says Elliott, who met him when they raced on the same pro team. "It's funny, he's an optimist. He always assumes the best in his kids. He adores his kids, but sometimes, I have to pull him back to reality. They're still kids, they're not perfect. When he's gone, he worries about them, maybe their lives aren't that stable. They're the one area of his life that he sacrifices the most for."

Later that afternoon, just as he promised, Dad drives the kids 25 miles into the desert for an hour of motocross. As her siblings buzz back and forth, Kali entertains herself by gathering colored rocks. Horner's eyes never leave Aarika and Garrett, who zip expertly up and down the jumps.

"That bike's getting too small for him," he observes. And Aarika needs new motocross pants. The kids are growing.

People ask him about retirement all the time, he says. Someday, he might coach, direct a team, do commentary or get into sales and marketing. But not yet. "I think a lot of people retire a little bit before they need to. Most people retire more because where they're at mentally than where they're at physically. Look at Lance. I'll push it off as long as I can."

So, for now, he attacks another climb on Mount Bachelor. With the wind in his face and views of forest and mountain rolling to the horizon, the uncertainties fall away. His legs are strong, the pace is fast, the road is smooth.

"There's no reason to panic," he says.

And no reason to doubt he'll get the call -- the one he's sacrificed so much for -- this week.

Thursdays $1.29 billion move by HLTH Corporation to take WebMD private is just another one of your everyday acquisitions. That is, if you consider it everyday that WebMD merged with HLTH (then Healtheon) in 1999 in a $5.5 billion deal, held an initial public offering in 2005, was almost taken private by HLTH in 2008 and has now returned, presumably for a final bow.
Through it all, though, Martin J. Wygod has stayed in control of WebMD, which runs a health-focused Web site, and will remain chairman of the board at the combined company.
The transaction is a take-private, since HLTH owns 80 percent of WebMD’s equity and its ownership of WebMDs Class B common stock represents about 96 percent of WebMDs outstanding voting interests.

Inappropriate behavior at LA Fitness!
This morning, as I was working out on one of those hamstring machines that has you lying on your stomach, face forward and raising the weights with your ankles, a personal trainer approaches me from behind, puts his hand on my back and tells me that this position is exposing me, that I should preserve my dignity and there are other machines that I can use “without shame” that will exercise the same muscles (the machines he pointed to were for quads, not for hamstrings, but that’s just a small point).
I asked him to remove his hand and was touching a woman he had never met also a part of preserving her “dignity.” When I complained to the general manager, however, that manager defended the personal trainer (who had interrupted a session with a paying client to monitor me). The manager said he himself touches people all of the time — that it’s good to have someone stop women from being “exposed.”
I think this is a terrible atmosphere for a woman to work out in, and I am now about to cancel my membership. Not that it’s relevant, but none of my skin was exposed, nor should I feel restricted by what machines I use by someone else’s (a personal trainer no less) mixed-up sense of “dignity.” And to have his inappropriate touching and monitoring be supported by the manager.

Bally Health Club where I work out in Orlando, Florida has already shut down two of their 4 gyms. Without forewarning the Bally Health Clubs in Pine Hills and Casselberry were closed.
Now Im told the only remaining Bally Health Club in the Orlando metro (as someone said the Altamonte Springs Bally Health Club was also closed) is the one nearest the airport at Semoran Blvd. where I workout and the Ballys near International Drive on Kirkman Rd. near Valencia Community College.
Beyond the bankruptcy, as if that wasnt bad enough as I have a premier lifetime membership with Bally Health Club (for which I can use any gym anywhere in North America, as Ballys is also operating in Canada where my wife is from), Bally even more surprisingly has stopped properly cleaning its equipment.
Nobody is required to bring a towel into the club where I workout. This means pools of sweat are often left behind on the equipment. Paper towels are nearly nonexistent at the gym without requesting some from the staff, who often reply they are and t have them. The equipment often appears to be greasy, oily, and holds bodily fluids of other gym members who previously used (without a towel) and didnt bother to clean up after themselves.
Even worse (and another lawsuit waiting to happen) is damaged equipment that has not been repaired. For example the lower back extension has been broken for nearly a month. When I sat down to use the lower back extension and noticed the foot bar had been broken off (which provides stability to the lower back to prevent injury), to my surprise a Ballys personal trainer (or should I say salesman) approached me to pitch PT (personal training) to earn himself some money, but never bothered to put an out of order sign on the damaged equipment.
I am a former personal trainer myself and know a lot about gym equipment and proper management of health clubs. I worked for 24 Fitness in California and at a local private gym in Orlando years ago, which I pretty much managed in the absence of the owner.
When I recently saw what looked like pink eye appear in my right eye and what looked like herpes on the right side of my mouth, I started freaking out and wondering what was going on. Im a married man and definitely am not playing around sexually. Yet I have been working out at Bally Health Club regularly.
When the optomotrist put a liquid solution (which burned profusely) in my right eye to test me for herpes, thankfully it was negative and I dont have herpes. What the doctor did say I have however is a bacterial viral infection. I immediately told the doc about Ballys going bankrupt and being too cheap to clean their gyms as of late. He was a bit surprised to hear this.
Incidentally, the optomotrist visit cost me hours out of my schedule (as I was made to wait for an hour in the doctors waiting room until I could be seen and had to drive two hours to and fro) and $125. The eye drops cost another $97 from the pharmacist. Bally Health Club should at least pay me $1,000 for my pain and suffering, their negligence, and time stolen from my schedule.
If there is anybody facing a similar situation at their Bally Health Club, please put your name, address, and state your situation and email on a comment after this post to be added to the forthcoming class action lawsuit and let your voice be heard.
Bacteria and viral infections (with the recent outbreak of the swine flu) need to be prevented and every precaution taken. Health Clubs such as Ballys who fail to take proper hygiene and sanitation procedures required by law need to be punished and shut down if they fail to comply. Refusal to clean your health club is gross negligence and should be punishable to the full extent of the law.
The carpet in the aerobics room at Ballys Health Club is filthy and needs to be replaced. Their are cigarettes all over the ground at the entrance to Ballys. A lifetime member (an elderly man who has been attending the Semoran health club for years) told me some years back a manager at the health club was involved in a homosexual relationship with an underage young man who he was having sex with in the mens locker room after hours.
Health Clubs such as Ballys and other private clubs need far more scrutiny from sanitation and law enforcement to ensure the general public is protected.
If you are an attorney reading this and would like to represent me and the members of Bally Health Club, please kindly reply to:

On Monday morning, the Bally Loop club tested the fire alarm system. Technically, we’re not sure it was a test, as Bally offered zero official notices for the event. Additionally, the staff made no intercom announcements while the alarms wailed for over 10 minutes. Shouldn’t the local Fire Marshal have been involved? Members simply went about their business as usual. The blaring caused a flashing exit sign in the shower area to fall out of its frame and shatter on the tile floor – which didn’t even receive an emergency response from the custodial crew. Maybe Bally was hoping to recruit new members from the Chicago Fire Department.
Enjoy your workout.

From MMEGI......
Make some noise - a concert for freedom in zimbabwe
STAFF WRITER
Magamba, the Cultural Activist Network, in partnership with the Zimbabwe Solidarity Forum and LNM Entertainment, will hold a festival - Make Some Noise - aimed at building people-to-people solidarity in the region and keeping the spotlight on the Zimbabwean crisis.

The concert will kick-off in front of hundreds of people at the Bassline, Johannesburg next Sunday. This date - March 29 - is symbolically exactly one year on from the elections rigged and stolen by ZANU-PF.
The concert will feature leading Southern African artists who preach change and make people move at the same time. From South Africa there will be the diligent Napo Masheane, Kwani Experience collaborating with Pops Mohamed, Tumi and the Volume featuring Zubz. Lebo Mashile will host the event and the industrious DJ Kenzhero will supply the tunes.
From Botswana, TJ Dema (Tjawangwa Dema) will represent the country. TJ Dema is a performance poet, creative writer, columnist and voice over artist.
She is a founding member of Botswana's acclaimed Exodus live poetry! collective, 2002 International Poet of Merit award holder, 2007 International Society of Poets Poetry Ambassador and 2007 Bessie Head Literature award first runner-up.
Representing Mozambique will be the meticulous dub/reggae outfit, 340ml. 340ml is part of the exciting, new alternative music movement growing in popularity among the youth of all backgrounds.
"Anyone who knows anything about 340ml, the Mozambican dub-jazz foursome, which has been based in Jozi for about the last eight years, will know two things: (a) they never hurry, and (b) the wait is usually worth it."
Zimbabwe will be represented by an inspiring blend of renowned artists and a new generation of riotous voices. Of the two veteran artists Chirikure Chirikure is a respected, outspoken Zimbabwean poet who has performed often in South Africa and overseas, while Steve Makoni is Zimbabwe's premier solo guitarist whose lyrics dig deeper into society. Representing the new generation is the explosive, freedom fighter band Comrade Fatso and Chabvondoka.
Despite their heavily political debut album being banned in their own country, Comrade Fatso and Chabvondoka have toured extensively and Jozi will be their first leg in a month-long tour encompassing South Africa, the USA and West Africa.
Also symbolising the new voices of Zimbabwe are Outspoken and The Essence - Harare's fresh, politically-charged afro-soul Hip-hop band - alongside Upmost and Stan - a soulful spoken word and solo guitar duo.
The inaugural Make Some Noise concert held in Johannesburg in December 2007 was successful, attended by 200 people and covered by various mainstream South African media.

I never was a runner. I liked aerobics. I watched the 2008 Olympics and saw the marthon. The bronze medal guy was from Morocco and said he watched the Athens games and began running. I though if he could so could I. I am a huge reader and the next book I read, the main character ran daily. I though this must be a sign. So I started in September 2008. I am currently training with a running group and do about 15-20 miles per week. My goals are: to run 1/2 marathon 6-7-09 then run the Chicago Marthon in 10-09. So I got all wound up over the marathon and was not too sure. I never watch TV. I was sitting with my 4 year old and saw the start of the HBO special Running the Sahara! WOW..how inspiring! These guys were essentially running 2 marathons a day for about 110 days. They ended at the Red Sea, in Egypt! I knew then that I was supposed to be heading towards marathoning. Everytime I question myself, if I really look, I continue to be directed to that course. I am no longer fighting it but committing my self to achieving it. My favorite sports include: running /walking. I am a married mom of 3 boys, a huge reader and a registered nurse. I coordinate IV antibiotics for patients with longterm IV needs.

Answer3:Dont do it. I got a "check" like that for modeling supposedly. Some company wanted me to model for them and they sent me a check for 3 grand. I was skeptical so I kept the check to see how it played it. When I did not make the money gram transfer on the day the wanted, they kept emailing me to do it. I never did it, and the check that was deposited in my savings account bounced. If you send the money gram, that money is sent back to them. Your check will then bounced and you will end up owing 3 grand to the bank.

report here

Here are some details from the report:

Page 27 Why havent the banks under the Capital Purchase Program had to submit business plans like the Big Three Auto Companies?  No one knows “whether there have been any efforts to assess the business plans, the management, or the accounting and general transparency” of the banks receiving aid.

As part of its aid agreement, Treasury made Citigroup participate in the FDIC’s mortgage modification program. Why hasn’t it made the other 160 banks that have received or are scheduled to receive money through the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) implement the same program?

At the very least, as a condition of receiving CPP money, the banks should have to report data on “delinquencies, foreclosures and loss mitigation in a standard format.” This would allow the appropriate agency the chance to evaluate the effectiveness of each institution’s foreclosure prevention efforts.

Page 16 – “Every Time a family loses its home due to foreclosure, the value of every home within one eighth of a mile declines by nearly 1%.”
Page 13 - The COP report asks a good question about the Treasury Department’s bailout investment strategy. The report states, “Efforts to increase the availability of credit assume that the fundamental problem is a lack of liquidity.” But then the report raises an important point, “Americans are most worried about their own economic security – their employment prospects, their current expenses and their debt levels – then increasing liquidity will have little impact on consumer spending.”

Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), one of the members of the Congressional Oversight Panel for Economic Stabilization, and a strong fiscal conservative, has not endorsed the COP report. In written testimony, he said that:

“In order to be an effective advocate for the American taxpayer, I have to ensure that every (COP) panel member has the resources and rights necessary to conduct effective oversight. I must also ensure that the panel officially adopts a serious agenda that truly brings transparency and accountability to the process. I have raised my concerns but thus far, I assume due to the exigency of the circumstances, they have yet to be addressed. The report being issued today included many good points and questions that I agree need to be asked of Treasury. I was, however, particularly concerned about language that could be interpreted as a panel expectation that Treasury should make credit more expensive and less available for Americans and could delay the recovery of our housing market at exactly the wrong time in our nation’s economic history.

Im not talking about losing weight.
Ive been training some for a physical fitness test required for a job Im applying forI have to do 18-22 pushups, run 1.5 miles in 14-15:20 minutes, and do at least 28 situps in a minute.
Currently, I have not made the 1.5 miles in 15 minutes. Im a couple of minutes shy. Ive been doing pushups every day, but not as good about running. Now it is crunch time.
I was just informed this morning that my test is next thursday. We did not have more notice than this. What should I do in the meantime to maximize the little time I have left to train?
Please realize Im not looking for miracles, I know you cant get into the best shape of your life in one weeks time, but this is what I have to work with. How can I do it best?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Its commonly held in triathlete circles that you get the benefit of todays workout in two weeks.
Sorry, not much you can do in terms of fitness at this point. Its kind of hard to make suggestions, not knowing where you are in terms of fitness and miles per week.
Typically, endurance athletes before big events, i.e., do their last really long runs 2-3 weeks before, then gradually reduce mileage leading to a couple days of rest right before the big event.
I guess by doing your hardest runs in the 2 days before the test would be a bad idea
Whatever you decide to do, you dont want to be tired and sore the day of. If it was me, Id probably just continue running easy this week, maybe swim a couple miles easy 2 days before to stay loose, and rest the day before.
