Microsoft Live Search Gets Rebirth Design
The Windows Live Search has gotten another overhaul now, and they’ve taken a little bit of a different slant on what their home page looks like as you can see from the screen shot. Along with a new background, which I’ve yet to figure out if you can change it to something else you would like. If you hover over certain sections Microsoft kinds of leads you on the types of information you can… More »
Michael Jordan versus Kobe Bryant – Video
When Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers was dominating during his 2007-08 MVP season, he drew many comparisons to Michael Jordan. However, in un-Jodarn like fashion, Bryant’s season came to an end after losing in the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics.
Recently, Michael Jordan was asked who is a better basketball — Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan in his prime. Do you want to know what he said? Watch this video and hear Jordan answer the… More »
Q and A: Any Advantage to Alternating?
Wow, look at all that alliteration in that title.
Alex sent me this question:
I have a question that is completely unrelated! (This somehow deserves an exclamation point.) What is the difference, if any, between doing exercises that work only one side of your body at a time (for example, lunges) in consecutive reps for each side versus alternating one side with the other? That may or may not any make sense. What I mean is, is there a benefit to doing lunges… More »

Olympics – LeBron shows how to baste Turkey
NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
LeBron James salutes Team USA
Wow! Small news. Team USA beats Turkey. Turkey with no Memo Okur and no Hedo Turkoglu.
No Hedo Turkoglu for Turkey? No problem for LeBron Ameri-James. Evidently the sprained ankle is a thing of the past.
James was 8-of-9 from the field and finished with six rebounds, five steals and four assists in 23 minutes, sitting out the fourth quarter.

Quick Tip: Follow your Gut in Business, as in Life
How many times have you had a bad feeling about a situation or a person, only to have your concerns confirmed? Top executives tend to be very decisive, and a lot of that certainty comes from their instincts, not their processes. You gut instinct isn’t perfect, however. It can steer you away from situations that may not be comfortable for you, but that are necessary for your company’s success. For example, cross-cultural hiring may take a deliberate effort… More »

The Winner Of The Lamb Of God DVD(s) Are…
Hell Yeah! The contest is over and it’s time to announce the Lamb Of God Walk With Me In Hell DVD contest winner. I had three people that seemed to really want it and I was quite impressed with the response I got from it. Sometimes you get “lurkers” who visit, find out about a contest, sometimes they win and you never hear from them again. I’m glad that’s not the case here. This time I have three winners…. More »
Time For A Little Vacation
I have a huge concert to go to tomorrow up in Virginia Beach so I’m draggin’ the family up there and forcing them to go to the beach and the zoo and where ever else we can go afterward. We haven’t really had a family vacation in a very long time. The closest thing was a family reunion last year and while that was kind of fun, it didn’t feel like a vacation. Anyway, Healthandmen.com may not see another post… More »

Ivanovic Holds On, Federer Loses
The number one women’s tennis player, Ana Ivanovic, took a little tighter grip on her ranking with a win at the Montreal Cup. Ivanovic nearly lost her crown achievement to fellow Serbian Jelena Jankovic but, with her second-round victory, she lives to enjoy another day at the top.
Third-ranked Maria Sharapova withdrew from the tournament with a shoulder injury and therefore won’t be making any strides towards another stint at number one.
On the men’s side – well – Roger Federer lost…. More »
