Major risk factors for Teen drivers
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009Teens are more likely than older drivers to underestimate dangerous situations or not be able to recognize hazardous situations.
Teens are more likely than older drivers to speed and allow shorter headways (the distance from the front of one vehicle to the front of the next). The presence of male teenage passengers increases the likelihood of this risky driving behavior.
Among male drivers between 15 and 20 years of age who were involved in fatal crashes in 2005, 38% were speeding at the time of the crash and 24% had been drinking.
Compared with other age groups, teens have the lowest rate of seat belt use. In 2005, 10% of high school students reported they rarely or never wear seat belts when riding with someone else.9 In a national survey of seat belt use among high school students:
Male high school students (12.5%) were more likely than female students (7.8%) to rarely or never wear seat belts.
African-American students (13.4%) and Hispanic students (10.6%) were more likely than white students (9.4%) to rarely or never wear seat belts.
At all levels of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), the risk of involvement in a motor vehicle crash is greater for teens than for older drivers.
In 2005, 23% of drivers ages 15 to 20 who died in motor vehicle crashes had a BAC of 0.08 g/dl or higher.
In a national survey conducted in 2005, nearly three out of ten teens reported that, within the previous month, they had ridden with a driver who had been drinking alcohol. One in ten reported having driven after drinking alcohol within the same one-month period.
In 2005, three out of four teen drivers killed in motor vehicle crashes after drinking and driving were not wearing a seat belt.
In 2005, half of teen deaths from motor vehicle crashes occurred between 3 p.m. and midnight and 54% occurred on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

Eggs are good for muscle building
Saturday, January 10th, 2009
Egg Protein
A large egg provides 6 grams of protein
Protein content of egg white=3.6g, protein content of egg
yolk=2.7g
Because of their high protein content, eggs are included in
the meat, fish, poultry, nuts and beans group of the US
Food Guidance Systems.
Eggs have the highest quality protein in the food supply with
the amino acid pattern almost matching the human requirement
for essential amino acids (FAO protein
value=100)
Digestibility of egg protein is 97%. This means that 97% of the
egg protein is absorbed as amino acids, which are available
for new protein synthesis and replacement of lost
protein.
Cooked egg protein is more digestible than raw egg protein
(cooked egg protein digestibility=90.9%+/-0.8, raw egg
protein digestibility=51.3+/-9.8)
The biological value of egg protein is 94%. Biological value is
a measure of the rate at which the protein in food supports
growth. Eggs and milk have the highest biological
value and provide more amino acids for growth and tissue
maintenance than even meat, including beef, chicken, pork
and fish.

The 10-Minute Home Workout to Flatten Abs
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
We’re comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn’t care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn’t care what you plant.
When you think of a workout, do you think of an hour and a half of sweaty weightlifting, coupled with loud music and pumping testosterone? If so, when I mention an ab workout you probably get an idea that is very off-base. But there is a home work out to flatten abs that you can use every day which will cause results very quickly. And best of all, it’s only 10 minutes.
If you truly have the desire for muscular and flat abs, you probably aren’t too phased by the idea of taking 10 minutes out of your schedule for a quick workout. And don’t try to make excuses like you’re too busy or you have better things to do. If you really have the desire for self-improvement, it isn’t a problem to make 10 minutes. Nobody is that busy.
You should plan your workout directly before you plan to eat. Your home work out to flatten abs will tear your muscles up and leave them begging for something to eat in order to rebuild, and it’s best if you eat lots of protein as soon as they are in this state. This results in the most muscle mass.
To start your workout, lie down on the floor and begin doing stomach crunches. You should do them quickly, but still maintain as much form as you can. Do 50 of these. Hopefully by the end your abs have already started to cry for a break; but it’s not time for a break yet, you’re only part of the way done.
After your first round of crunches, it is time for some leg-raises to hit the lower sections of your abdomen. Don’t take a break in between the two exercises. The whole goal is to do a quick and effective workout, so there will be no stopping to catch your breath. Do 25 of the leg raises before you return to neutral position and do 50 more crunches.
After the 50 crunches, you will probably starting to feel an intense burn in your abs. You may be ready to quit, but it’s still not time. Now, do the bicycle exercise – lifting your knees to your chest and performing a crunch with the opposite shoulder, then switching sides. Do 25 of these, and don’t even think about combining the totals of both sides.
After the bicycles, it’s time for the last round of crunches. Pump out 50 more. Think about how you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and how amazing it that you got this far. You will make it to 50, and it will be painful. But it will be rewarding as well. Now, as you lay in a panting, sweaty, immobile heap, you get to look forward to tomorrow’s 10-minute home work out to flatten abs.
This is an awesome work out, i’ve tried it and wow. To find more info, just follow the link here http://www.sixpackabsguide/
