Today's Health - Wellness / Exercise / Reflections:Tone Your Back With a Swiss Ball RowToday I want you to ditch your same-old, tired workout and try a new exercise: the Swiss ball row. It's an advanced exercise that may feel a little awkward at first, but I promise it'll yield great results. Your lower back muscles, called latissimus dorsi, will firm up in no time with this fun move.
Step 1: Hold a pair of dumbbells and straddle the ball at your waist. Raise your head and chest, creating a slight arch in the back.
Step 2: Breathe slowly and rhythmically as you pull the dumbbells up and back toward your body in a rowing motion through a count of 10 seconds. Hold and squeeze your shoulder blades together at the maximum tension point for 2 seconds.
Step 3: Return to the starting point through a count of 10 seconds.
Step 4: Repeat three times without resting.

Take Action:
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Imagine, Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of senile - Sen. John McCain: because of their Hateful anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform. Further, Their Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and blocked Immigration reform! We shall hold the voters of Arizona responsible!
- NEW: Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.
- NEW: Boycott Gold's Gym for donating loads of money to anti-gay candidates.
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). It prevents Fed'l employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. It prevents married gay couples from gaining Fed'l Benifits.
- We need ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). We do not want to be fired from our job because we are GAY!
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! Do not donate to them!

NPR / Dec 22, 2010In the passionate debate over gay marriage, supporters sometimes accuse those who disagree with them of spreading hate.
It raises a difficult question: Where do you draw the line between what constitutes fair debate, however spirited, and what can be appropriately deemed as hate speech?
In a piece for The Washington Post, Matthew Franck, director of the William E. and Carol G. Simon Center on Religion and the Constitution at the Witherspoon Institute, argues that "the charge of 'hate' is not a contribution to argument; it's the recourse of people who would rather not have an argument at all."
"I've been seeing over the course of the last year a number of episodes," Franck tells NPR's Neal Conan, "in which one sees people holding the traditional view of sexual morality, or simply opposing same sex marriage ... being tarred with the hate label."
He cites the Christian Legal Society's exclusion from campus recognition at the University of California's Hastings College of the Law and the Manhattan Declaration app, which was "chased out of the iTunes store" due to a number of complaints "that it was a 'hate-fest.'"
Franck acknowledges that "there are people saying hateful things, and perhaps the label 'hate group' might be accurately applied to some of them."
But he thinks "playing the hate card" prematurely ends the debate over gay marriage, when he believes there are legitimate legal arguments against it.
