LONDON (AP) ? Four badminton teams were kicked out of the women's doubles at the London Games on Wednesday for trying to lose on purpose, conduct that a top IOC executive said strikes at the heart of Olympic competition.

The eight doubles players from China, South Korea and Indonesia were cited by the Badminton World Federation for "conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport."

"We have to be clear, there has been a problem here and we have to take that problem very seriously," BWF secretary general Thomas Lund said. "There are things we can improve on and look at after this competition."

South Korea and Indonesia appealed the disqualification, but the BWF rejected the South Korean appeal and the Indonesia challenge was withdrawn. China had accepted the federation's earlier decision.

The competition was to continue later Wednesday with four previously eliminated teams in the quarterfinals. Russian pair Valeria Sorokina and Nina Vislova, and Canadian team Alex Bruce and Michele Li now advance from Group A. Australian pair Leanne Choo and Renuga Veeran and South African duo Michelle Edwards and Annari Viljoen go through from Group C.

"We applaud the federation for having taken swift and decisive action," IOC spokesman Mark Adams told The Associated Press. "Such behavior is incompatible with the Olympic values."

Before the decision was announced, Indonesia Olympic team leader Erick Thohir accused Chinese players of losing on purpose in the past.

"China has been doing this so many times and they never get sanctioned by the BWF," Thohir said. "On the first game yesterday when China did it, the BWF didn't do anything. If the BWF do something on the first game and they say you are disqualified, it is a warning for everyone."

IOC Vice President Craig Reedie, the former head of the international badminton federation, welcomed the decision to kick the four teams out.

"Sport is competitive," Reedie told the AP. "If you lose the competitive element, then the whole thing becomes a nonsense.

"You cannot allow a player to abuse the tournament like that, and not take firm action. So good on them."

The eight disqualified players are world doubles champions Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang of China and their South Korean opponents Jung Kyun-eun and Kim Ha-na, along with South Korea's Ha Jung-eun and Kim Min-jung and Indonesia's Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii.

The players went before a disciplinary hearing Wednesday, a day after spectators at the arena booed their performance after it became clear they were deliberately trying to lose.

International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge had been at the venue but had left shortly before the drama unfolded. The IOC said it would allow badminton's ruling body to handle the matter.

Paul Deighton, chief executive officer of the London organizers, said there would be no refunds for the evening's badminton program. Chairman Sebastian Coe called what happened "depressing," adding "who wants to sit through something like that?"

Teams blamed the introduction of a round-robin stage rather than a straight knockout tournament as the main cause of the problem. The round-robin format can allow results to be manipulated to earn an easier matchup in the knockout round.

The Chinese players tried to rig the draw after its second-seeded pair unexpectedly lost to a Danish team in the morning. That placed the No. 2 pair on course for a semifinal meeting with Wang and Yu, instead of the final.

Wang and Yu then deliberately set out to lose so they would go into the bottom half of the draw. They hardly exerted themselves, and neither did the South Koreans, drawing jeers of derision from the crowd and warnings from the umpire and tournament referee Torsten Berg. Wang and Yu eventually got what they wanted by losing.

An hour later, the South Korean team of Ha and Kim took to the court and decided to also try to lose to the Indonesians to avoid meeting Wang and Yu in the quarterfinals. Early on, all four players were warned by the umpire for not trying hard, and Berg returned and produced black cards to disqualify both pairs, but the cards were rescinded on a promise of better play.

In the third game, Berg reappeared to urge them to finish, and the Indonesians ended up being better at losing than Ha and Kim, who fell into the playoff they didn't want with the world champions.

One of the world's top male players, 2004 Olympic singles champion Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia, called the situation a "circus match."

China's Lin Dan, the Olympic men's champion in singles, said the sport is going to be damaged.

"Especially for the audience," he said through an interpreter before the disqualifications were announced. "This is definitely not within the Olympic spirit. But like I said before, it's not one-sided. Whoever sets the rule should make it knockout so whoever doesn't try will just leave the Olympics."

Beijing badminton silver medalist Gail Emms said the matches were embarrassing to watch.

"It was absolutely shocking," she said. "The crowds were booing and chanting 'Off, off, off.'"

Muscle Building Tips That Everyone Needs To Know! | The ...

When you are lifting, try to understand the results that you will obtain from each type of lift. Lifting heavy weights can help to generate muscle over time while consistently lifting a lighter weight yields more tone to your body. Understand the impact of each type of weight to set the proper regimen for your body.

When you are trying to build muscle to improve your health and fitness, it is essential to recognize that rest is just as important as the exercise in encouraging muscle growth. Muscles need recovery time to repair damage and build new fibers. Working out too frequently or too aggressively can work against you in the long run.

As you are going through your exercise routine, be sure to take the time and focus on the muscle group that you are working on while lifting weights. If you are letting your mind wander and not concentrating on what is at hand, more than likely you are not pushing yourself to your limits.

Ensure that you are always snacking throughout the day. Although it?s probably not possible for you to cook chicken every few hours while out, you should still have healthy snacks close by you at all times. Examples of snacks that can be easily stored include jerky, fruit, almonds, protein powder, and protein bars.

Your workout routine always needs goals, so set a new goal as soon as you have achieved an old one. Reaching a goal feels great, and you deserve to feel proud of your accomplishment. Just remember that building muscle is a process that you can keep working at indefinitely, as long as you have a fresh goal to aim for.

You need to be focused on what you are striving to achieve when looking to build your muscles. Do not train for endurance and focus on cardio when trying to build muscle mass. Cardio and weight training are a great combination, but they will contradict each other if you have excess cardio in your muscle building routine.

Keeping your life stress free and mentally calm is important when you are trying to build muscle mass. Stress can be an enemy to your muscle-building goals. When your stress levels increase, you should expect your muscle building to be much slower. Keep the stress out of your life for a successful muscle building routine.

If you really want to start gaining muscle, consider getting a trainer. A trainer is an expert and has likely been where you are now. Ask a trainer about what kind of exercises are best, what kind of diet you should have and how often you should be at the gym. Trainers can be a great source of information and motivation so you can meet your own muscle building goals.

Drink as much water as you can before and after your workouts to put yourself in the best position to feel comfortable when you exercise. Additionally, water helps to get rid yourself of the toxins and free radicals in your body that can cause stress and fatigue as you lift heavy weights.

Change your weight lifting program around about once every six weeks to keep from reaching a plateau. After a few weeks your body will become used to your routine and if you don?t change it up, you might not continue to see the results that you want. By mixing things up regularly, you can help to avoid this problem.

Make sure that you select the best weight for yourself when doing lifting exercises. Research has proven that doing six to twelve reps at around seventy to eighty percent of your maximum for one rep, will give you the best combination of both volume and load. This can stimulate additional muscle growth.

Hopefully this article has provided you with all the tips and tricks you need to attack your routine with 100% effort. Incorporate this advice into your workout and you should see remarkable results in the strength and tone of your muscles soon. With sufficient dedication and time, you will achieve all the amazing results you are looking for!

How To Get Started With Outsourcing

Wow, it has been several weeks since I last update this blog. Well, sometime laziness just get over the better of me. Anyway, I was? also caught up with both work as well as some personal commitments past several weeks so much so each time I decide to blog, mental block sets in and I call it off another day.? The condition went on and on for several weeks. There are many ways to expedite the writing of? quality post and to keep your mental juice flowing no matter where you are or what you do.

Time sure pass quickly, the Olympic is in full swing and here I am writing this post from my nephew?s bedroom in Surrey UK.? I am in UK on a personal trip and will be spending the next ten days here before heading back for sunny warm and humid Singapore.

One of the most interesting aspect about online business marketing is that you can practically do it from anywhere in the world, all you need is a computer and Internet connection. In the near future, you might even be able to operate and run an entire business empire via a tablet PC such as an iPad or a smart phone,? absolutely not kidding though.

This brings me to another key point; that of why it is important to keep the momentum going on blogging otherwise the traffic to your website will be impacted.? Search engines are attracted to sites that are frequently updated with fresh quality content. Unfortunately not everyone enjoy writing or knows how to create quality content all the time.

One way to maintain consistency in posting quality information is by creating articles beforehand when you are in writing mood. You can then schedule the posts to be publish at later dates. You can relief yourself from the time consuming tasks of creating search engine optimize posts by outsourcing content writing? to contract content providers or experience freelance article writers.

Practically every aspect of any online business can be outsource. ?There is only so much you can do within a day and the best proven method to get more things done in an hour is by having more relevant, qualified and suitable people to help out.

Be On Top Of The Business, Not Into The Business
One of the most common thing that most Internet marketers commit is that of trying to do everything by themselves.? Moreover, many newbie and novice aspiring online marketers are constraints in terms of budget and money to invest in the business.

It is alright to learn and do as much of the activities during the initial start up phase but you need to make it point to set aside some of the profits you make back into the business in areas that could improve your productivity,increase your sales, new product creation, customer experience, branding and etc.

If you try to micro manage and personally carry out every tiny bits of the work you will soon burn out.? No doubt there are some people who makes good living by operating a solo home based online business but the odds are stack against the majority. The Internet world is every changing and you can?t be expert in everything.

No doubt it is good to gain real experience by hands-on however, once you understand the fundamentals,? you should move on to focus on building the business instead of overloading yourself with the tedious repetitive time consuming tasks such as product creation, traffic generation and etc. Focus and capitalize on your strength, do what you are good at and enjoy doing.

Engage Professionals
Leave those tasks you are not well versed to others who are more qualified and experience. Of course sometimes it is important for you to be familiar with critical functions, even those that you aren?t familiar with or which you do not like for instance business financial planning and marketing strategy.

How To Sub Contract Your Internet Business
There are two factors you need to consider namely 1) what areas of your Internet business to outsource and 2) who or what company to sub contract to.?? It can be? a nightmare if you approach the wrong person for the job? or you identify the wrong components or areas of work to sub-out.

The third party that you sign up with to get the work done might already have several other projects at hand. English may not be their first language and they might be located on a different time zone.? Miscommunication is a common problem so you have to underpin ways and means to converse with them.

I have uploaded a video training program on introduction to outsourcing. It provides basic information on what you need to know and expect from it. I hope you will enjoy and learn something out of it. Do drop me a note if you like it or there?s other more information you wish to know about.

1) Beginners Introduction To Outsourcing
2) Benefits Of Subcontracting Tasks To Third Parties
3) What Can You?Sub-contract?Out
4) What To Look For?In A Subcontractor
5) Getting The Most From Your Subcontractor
6) Introduction To ODesk ?

?Summary

Outsourcing is not just for big companies with huge budgets. ?Individual running a home based Internet business can also benefit from it. Identify key components of the business that you can paid others to work on, establish and define proper metric on what and how you expect the deliverable will be measured.

Engage a reputable,trusted party to get the job done and last but not least, always make it point to monitor the progress of the subcontracted project. You don?t want to be caught by surprise at the very last minute. ?As the saying goes, the journey of a thousand mile begins with a small step. Start with a small project and then gradually move on to bigger and more complex projects.

Daily caffeine improves Parkinson's mobility problems

COFFEE can give you the shakes, but caffeine seems to have the opposite effect in people with Parkinson's disease, helping to relieve tremors and get them back on the move.

In the past, caffeine has been shown to reduce the risk of Parkinson's, but its effects have never been tested in people who already have the disease.

Ronald Postuma of McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and colleagues gave 61 people with Parkinson's a 6-week course of pills containing the caffeine equivalent of about three cups of coffee every day, or a placebo.

Only people in the caffeine group showed a significant improvement in tests for motor problems, such as the severity of their tremors, and general mobility (Neurology, DOI: 10.1212/WNL.0b013e318263570d).

Motor problems associated with Parkinson's are caused by a lack of dopamine in areas of the brain where dopamine-producing cells are destroyed. Adenosine receptors normally inhibit the production of dopamine. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors and so acts to boost available dopamine.

Drugs that target adenosine receptors are already in clinical trials but caffeine could provide a cheaper alternative.

Twitter suspends reporter's account

LONDON (AP) ? Twitter has suspended the account of a Los Angeles-based reporter for a British newspaper who included the email address of the NBC Olympics president and asked his followers to write him to complain about the network's coverage.

Guy Adams, a correspondent for The Independent, was upset with the network's decision to broadcast the opening ceremony on tape delay when he sent his critical tweet Friday afternoon.

"The man responsible for NBC pretending the Olympics haven't started yet is Gary Zenkel. Tell him what u think!" it read, before going on to provide his corporate email listing.

Adams checked his Twitter account Sunday and received a message it was suspended. He then received an email Monday that attributed the move to his tweet that included Zenkel's email.

"We filed a complaint with Twitter because a user tweeted the personal information of one of our executives," NBC Sports said in a statement Monday. "According to Twitter, this is a violation of their privacy policy. Twitter alone levies discipline."

Rachael Horwitz, a spokeswoman for the social media site, said the company never comments on individual users for privacy reasons. But she said Twitter considers work emails private unless they're publicly shared.

NBC has racked up record ratings through the first couple days of the London Games, but also has faced harsh criticism online, largely from American viewers upset with tape-delayed coverage. Angry Olympic fans used the hashtag "nbcfail" and even set up at least one parody account poking fun at the TV wait.

The network is streaming the events online, but that clearly isn't enough for some viewers who shelled out thousands of dollars for big-screen TVs and want their live coverage.

"If this Gary Zenkel doesn't want to hear from the many tens of thousands of customers he upset with his network's coverage, I think he's in the wrong job," Adams said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

When Twitter receives a complaint like the one against Adams, its support team does its own investigation before deciding whether to suspend the account.

Adams said he found Zenkel's email with a simple online search, but said he didn't grab it from an NBC website.

"His address is not a private email address," Adams said. "It's a corporate address. It's not his private email address. It's a corporate account. It's company information."

Twitter and NBC have partnered on some social media-based projects surrounding the Olympics. But Horwitz said the site doesn't actively monitor content.

The London Olympics has been dubbed the social media games, and it's lived up to the moniker already:

?Switzerland stripped a soccer player of his Olympic accreditation after he sent a threatening and racist message on Twitter about South Koreans. The comments by Michel Morganella came hours after the Swiss lost 2-1 to South Korea on Sunday.

?Triple jumper Voula Papachristou was kicked off Greece's Olympic team last week for her comments on Twitter mocking African immigrants and expressing support for a far-right political party.

?U.S. women's soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo took to Twitter to criticize NBC analyst Brandi Chastain, and the network responded with a statement praising the broadcast coverage by the former national team defender.

?A group of Olympians is using Twitter as part of a campaign protesting an International Olympic Committee policy limiting the athletes' ability to market themselves during the games.

And now the situation with Adams, who plans to try for reinstatement to the site, even though he doesn't think he did anything wrong.

"I think Twitter's approach is being very heavy-handed," he said. "They suspended my account without warning me. They didn't tell me for 24 hours why it had been suspended."
