Sammi's Blog Of Life: GUEST POST- Tanita BC533 Glass InnerScan ...

As we near the beginning of summer 2012, getting in shape may be one of your top priorities. You may want to uncover sleek, sexy washboard abs to show off at the beach or pool. It will be important for you to eat healthy, engage in vigorous cardiovascular exercise and complete strength training in order to reach your fitness goals. Of course, you will be on your way to developing an amazing physique that will be the envy of all your friends. More importantly, you will be contributing to your overall health and mental well-being.

The combination of eating healthy and exercising can lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes. You will be able to maintain a healthy weight in this age of epidemic obesity that we live in. Exercising helps you sleep better and releases endorphins in the brain, which are "feel good" chemicals that help you reach a "natural high." According to the Harvard Public School of Health, 30 minutes of exercise for at least five days a week is sufficient to reap major health benefits.

On your journey to reaching your health and fitness goals, you will absolutely want to periodically monitor your progress. One of the best ways to do so is by purchasing the Tanita BC533 Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor, a sophisticated bathroom scale perfect for the serious health and fitness enthusiast. This compact scale will quickly become one of your closest companions.

The Tanita brand has rightfully stated that that weight-only scales are for "squares." The BC533 Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor utilizes advanced Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology that was formerly available only to medical professionals, health clubs and professional athletes. The BC533 is able to measure and determine a wide spectrum of health and fitness indicators, including weight, body fat percentage, body water percentage, muscle mass, physique rating, daily caloric intake requirements, metabolic age, bone mass and visceral fat rating. The scale features a very easy-to-read 2.3 inch LCD display.

You may think that all these measurements are unnecessary to you, but they are all very important and useful. Let's consider the usefulness of the muscle mass reading this scale provides. It is a well-known fact that muscle weighs more than fat. If you have started a strength training program, you will want to monitor your muscle mass, which is the amount of muscle in your body. You will surely gain some weight when strength training, but it will be in the form of muscle, not fat. This is why weight-only scales truly are for "squares." The physique rating is a rating of your body type; 1-9. The daily caloric intake is very useful in that it allows you to determine the number of calories you should consume daily to maintain your current weight.

The Tanita BC533 Glass InnerScan Body Composition Monitor is an excellent bathroom scale that can help you reach your health and fitness goals. You will become even more motivated over time when the scale displays indicators that are in your favor. Up to four unique profiles can be created on this scale, which makes this scale perfect for the entire family to use.

Mexican Auto Insurance,Mexican Insurance

Question: I live in Los Angeles and go to Mexico all the time. I think I want to buy yearly Mexican Auto insurance for Los Angeles, California residents, but I'm not positive it's right for me. How much does it cost, and is it really worth it?

Answer: This is an interesting question. Right off the bat, you should know that there's no way to give you a precise price without gathering a bunch of information from you. With that being said, however, yearly Mexican auto insurance for Los Angeles residents is a great option for people who travel south of the border all the time. Most people find that it's significantly cheaper than paying for new daily insurance policies all the time.

One thing you need to understand about annual Mexican insurance for Los Angeles drivers is that it isn't just the normal daily rate times 365. In fact, it's usually a fraction of the daily amount. The reason is because you're essentially buying coverage in bulk. You are being given a big discount for buying annual Mexican insurance for Los Angeles, California drivers that lasts for a full year. If you go to Mexico more than twice every 6 months, this option should save you money.

As far as whether or not Mexican auto insurance for Los Angeles, California residents is worth it, that depends on a few things. Do you have friends or relatives in Mexico? If so, it's well worth it to have yearly coverage. You never know when one of them will need you. You're also more likely to visit regularly when you have yearly insurance ready to go. If you only go to Mexico in spurts, annual coverage may not be worth it for you. You should analyze how often you go south of the border. Keep track of how many times you go down there over a period of a few months.

Like other types of car insurance for Mexico in Los Angeles, prices for annual coverage vary a lot. Don't just buy the first policy that you find.

Exam nod for Seth college students













May 25: The Supreme Court today asked the state government and the authorities of a derecognised Haldia medical college controlled by CPM leader Lakshman Seth to allow first-year MBBS students to appear for their exams.

The vacation bench of Justices Deepak Verma and Sudhansu Jyoti Mukhopadhaya passed the interim order on a plea by some of the students.

?We have been informed that the examination for the first-year MBBS course is going to commence from June 25, 2012. It has also been submitted that in case the petitioners are not allowed to appear for the examination, their whole year is likely to be wasted,? the apex court said.

?Looking at the facts and features of the case, we grant permission to the petitioners to appear in the aforesaid examination, subject to their depositing the requisite fees and completion of requisite attendance,? the bench said.

?They will be allowed to appear in the examination but their results will not be declared and (will) be kept in sealed covers,? it added.

The court directed the ICARE Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, which is run by a Seth-headed NGO, to accept the students? forms and exam fees and issue admit cards at the earliest.

In December, the Medical Council of India (MCI) had scrapped the recognition of the private college. The state government had in November cancelled the college?s essentiality certificate, mandatory for an MCI recognition.

Earlier, the MCI and the Dental Council of India had issued notices to ICARE after it was revealed during an inspection that the institute was sharing space with a dental college.

Sougata Saha, one of the petitioners, said the last date to register for the exams with the University of Health Sciences was May 18.

The students had moved the Supreme Court after two benches of Calcutta High Court rejected their plea that the MCI order be stayed.

FCC to dole out up to $300 million to help carriers expand service in rural areas

It seems like almost every day that we receive a press release announcing Verizon or AT&T is planning to expand its LTE coverage to three, five, eleven new markets. But in some remote pockets of the country, you'd be lucky to latch onto even a solid 3G signal. In a bid to make sure those folks in the boonies get their due, the Federal Communications Commission is establishing a fund to encourage carriers to roll out service in sparser areas. All told, the agency plans to award up to $300 million to mobile operators, with funds going to the providers offering the lowest rates. The winners will be decided in a sealed, single-round auction, which opens June 27th and is set to close July 11th. As a condition for receiving the funds, carriers must agree to cover at least 75 percent of the road miles within a given census tract. While it's unclear at this early stage which mobile players will take the bait, the FCC's already signaled which parts of the country will be first in line for upgraded service -- namely, Rocky Mountain states like Utah and Idaho, along with Maine, Appalachia and upstate New York.

Chris Harrison and Wife Gwen: It's Over!


The Bachelor host Chris Harrison and his wife of over 18 years, Gwen, are divorcing.

The couple announced their separation "after much heartfelt consideration" today.

"Though we have made this incredibly difficult decision to separate, our love and mutual respect remain, and we look forward to sharing in the lives of our wonderful children," Chris and Gwen said in a joint statement Thursday.

Chris Harrison, Wife

Harrison, 40, is best known for hosting ABC's The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. In 2010, he was accused on-screen of hitting on a producer's wife.

At the time, he was hardly ruffled by the "cheap shot" of controversial contestant Rozlyn Papa. "I had nothing to hide," he said. "My wife was there."

The couple live 35 miles from Hollywood with their kids Joshua, 9, and Taylor, 7.

Harrison, who coaches both kids' soccer teams, is "an amazing father," Gwen says. "He's very loving and involved." He's also amazing at his job.

No word if he will also be the next Bachelor, but Harrison will be back running the show for its popular spinoff (see Bachelorette spoilers) May 14.

Samsung Galaxy S III to be sold in Mobile Pin pop-up stores

Image

At the very tail end of its Galaxy S III event, Samsung promised one more surprise -- and what it gave us was a special retail strategy. The company will be opening Mobile Pin locations, or glass-housed pop-up stores, to help showcase its new flagship phone. Those at the event got to look at examples of the stores first-hand. Everyone else will get a look in the near future, with Mobile Pins appearing at least within London. We've got a gallery below to explore the locations in more detail.

Secret Service closes ranks in sordid scandal

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

WASHINGTON (AP) ? After two weeks of disturbing revelations about a tawdry prostitution scandal, the Secret Service and its supporters are circling the wagons to restore the "secret" part of its mission.

Retired agents have been instructed to stop talking to reporters. Secret Service agents are dismantling Facebook accounts, hanging up on reporters and notifying headquarters ? even calling police ? when journalists knock on their doors at home for interviews about the investigation.

"What purpose do these revelations, true or exaggerated, serve? What ever happened to one's pride in being discreet and keeping a confidence?" asked the president of the Association of Former Agents of the U.S. Secret Service, Pete Cavicchia, in an email to members. Cavicchia, head of a New York-based security and investigations firm, praised retired agents who declined interviews, urged others to "exercise the proper caution" and added, "We as an organization and individually do not have to add to the damage and speculation at this time."

Cavicchia said Monday that the email speaks for itself.

The scandal and what it's revealed about the culture inside the Secret Service have been a shock to an agency that is famously discreet. More than a dozen Secret Service agents contacted by The Associated Press have abruptly hung up or declined to return multiple messages to discuss their agency and former coworkers. One reported it to headquarters when an AP reporter visited his home in the evening; some retired officials who were interviewed quickly notified headquarters about what questions reporters were asking.

A police officer came to the Annapolis, Md., home of Greg Stokes ? one of the employees who already has lost his job in the scandal ? and directed an AP reporter to leave his property. At the home in Virginia of another employee who also lost his job, David Chaney, the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office parked a patrol car ? sometimes two of them. A deputy reprimanded reporters who came to the front door.

Chaney made his Facebook account inaccessible after he was identified as one of the officers involved, but not before reporters found it. Chaney joked on the account about his work with former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin while he was protecting her in 2008. The AP published a photograph it took of Chaney working in Palin's protective detail in October 2008 during a campaign rally in Carson, Calif.

A former agent, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity to protect relationships with current agents, said senior officials have kept a tight rein on information about the continuing investigation about what happened in Colombia.

The silence shouldn't be surprising for an agency whose job involves keeping secrets, said Jessica Herrera-Flanigan, a former general counsel for the House Committee on Homeland Security who is now a partner with a Washington consulting firm. "It's a discreet organization. That's part of its mission," she said. "If you are dealing with the Secret Service or any type of intelligence agency you are going to see the same kind of response."

In Washington, where Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan has briefed members of Congress and President Barack Obama about the investigation, the Secret Service has issued only limited public statements since the April 12 incident, which implicated a dozen agents, officers and supervisors and 12 other U.S. military personnel in a night of heavy drinking in Cartagena, Colombia, before Obama's visit to the Summit of the Americas. Some were accused of bringing prostitutes back to their hotel rooms.

The Secret Service already has forced eight employees from their jobs and was seeking to revoke the security clearance of another employee, which would effectively force him to resign. Three others have been cleared of serious wrongdoing. The military was conducting its own, separate investigation but canceled the security clearances of all 12 enlisted personnel.

A spokesman for the Secret Service, Edwin Donovan, said he was not familiar with instructions to former agents not to agree to interviews with reporters. Donovan said longstanding rules prohibit current employees from speaking with reporters unless it's authorized by supervisors or the public affairs office in Washington.

Cavicchia said the April 16 email was nothing more than a reminder to let "cooler heads" prevail when thinking about discussing the agency's inner workings or discussing current or former "protectees."

More secrets won't remain that way for long. Congressional hearings are expected to start within weeks. This week, lawmakers are expecting answers to dozens of detailed questions they submitted about the scandal. Most important, according to the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., are assurances that the women in Colombia were not associated with narcotics or terror groups or a foreign government.

Dateline NBC Busts Kids Cheating on Test


Dateline NBC pulled a fast one Sunday night, but instead of targeting sexual predators, they took down ... a group of middle school kids cheating on a test.

The kids' parents were in on it, too. How did it go down?

In a physical education class, no less. The children were told they had to complete an obstacle course to audition for an "ultimate challenge" TV show.

Unbeknownst to them, Dateline was secretly recording the test, and had planted an actress who encouraged the kids to cheat by inflating their scores.

Their proud parents sat watching in an adjoining room.

The first time through, the kids tried to stop the actress from lying and insisted on posting their real results. The second time, though, they cracked.

Natalie Morales then came out and told the kids they've been set up to see if they cheat. Needless to say, they were mortified when they found out.

Dateline said the report was intended to show how peer pressure affects kids, and maybe so, but it was basically entrapment and public humiliation.

There's got to be a better way to prove a point, right?
