Participants are just tickled by Laughter Yoga
Posted: at 4:20 am
Laughter is an expression that comes easily with the innocence of youth.
But with the coming of age, a good giggle or guffaw can be harder to muster.
So when Hermosa Beach resident Matthew Rand heard about Laughter Yoga, he was intrigued. Basically finding ways to make yourself laugh as a form of exercise, Laughter Yoga has been growing in popularity since it was launched in India in 1995.
"With the stress of school, work and everyday life, people tend to really have to work to express what someone is feeling through laughter as opposed to just letting it out as children do," Rand said.
The idea of loosening up one's ability to laugh more often sounded rewarding on many levels. Once he began attending sessions, he quickly became a Laughter Yoga teacher and recently created the Hermosa Beach Laughter Club through Hermosa Five-O, the city's senior activity center, which is open to any South Bay resident at least 50 years old.
As a volunteer, Rand has been holding sessions the last two months for a half-dozen members who have already seen the benefits of Laughter Yoga.
Rand said the free sessions aim to bring out that "childlike" personality that everyone has embedded within themselves. The club meets every Thursday from 5-6 p.m. at the Hermosa Beach Community Center. During meetings, the group goes through 15 laugh exercises that last about 45 seconds each.
Rand said it's all about triggering certain parts of the
"It is based on the scientific fact that the body does not know a difference between fake or pretend laughter and real laughter," Rand said. "In a good group with good eye contact; the fake turns real very quickly."
Rand said Laughter Yoga is extremely popular on an international level, with 9,000 laughter clubs in 85 countries.

Dave Gardner: Target retirement funds — The good, the bad and the ugly
Posted: at 4:18 am
Target retirement funds offer one-stop shopping for investors who want a "set it and forget it" retirement strategy. Instead of wading through scores of funds, investors can leave the portfolio strategy to someone else.
Think you might retire 15 years from now? Just pick the target retirement fund geared for those retiring between 2026 and 2030. Now you're all set.
But is this a smart strategy?
The good
Target retirement funds offer a simple choice. When you have 20 investment options, paralysis can set in. Fearful of making the incorrect choice, the decision is deferred. With target retirement funds, you just estimate your retirement date and then select the appropriate fund.
These funds build in a high degree of diversification in their portfolios. Target retirement funds are usually "funds of funds." So by purchasing a Fidelity Freedom 2030 Fund (ticker: FFFEX), you are purchasing their all-sector equity fund and twenty other Fidelity funds. Each of these funds holds hundreds to thousands of different individual stocks or bonds.
So not only do you avoid the risks in betting on a single company or sector, but you also get the benefit of spreading your assets between domestic and international markets, and alternative asset classes including commodities and commercial real estate.
Finally these funds regularly rebalance their holdings. They sell the winners within their fund mix and purchase those that haven't done as well. Most individual investors do not regularly rebalance their portfolio, which costs them total returns over time. Target retirement funds allow you to offload this chore.
The bad
By investing in target retirement funds, you're making a decision that a cookie cutter investment approach will be effective. When we design a recommended portfolio for a client, we not only ask about their risk tolerance but also about their financial goals and come up with the best path forward considering their current assets and future savings. Target retirement funds don't incorporate any information that is specific to your situation.

Chanticleers coach knows success

BY RYAN AUTULLO BLADE SPORTS WRITER
Tom Osborne, the legendary Nebraska football coach turned athletic director, was skeptical when a wealthy businessman in his late 50s invited him to lunch four years ago to discuss a position on the Cornhuskers coaching staff.
"I thought this was probably a little bit of a passing fancy and he'll get over it," Osborne recalls thinking.
Osborne soon realized he had misjudged the man, who had recently resigned from his post as CEO of a successful online brokerage and began showing up to every practice. He sat in on every staff meeting, taking copious notes. Weary from an hour commute, he moved his personal effects into a hotel room near campus.
This was no fleeting fantasy, no means to scribbling a check mark next to an entry on a bucket list. Joe Moglia, who cashed zero paychecks in his role as executive advisor to Cornhuskers coach Bo Pelini, was determined to apply the principles he culled from laboring nearly 30 years in the business sector to engineering his own Division I program.
"I knew he was serious," Osborne said this week by phone.
The University of Toledo's Glass Bowl, where first-year Coastal Carolina coach Moglia will lead his Chanticleers today for a 7 p.m. tilt against the Rockets, is 565 miles and 10 driving hours away from Wall Street in New York.
It was there, in 1984, where Moglia made the most difficult decision of his life and exchanged his coaching career to enter a training program with Merrill Lynch.

Yoga Reduces Biomarkers For Infertility Stress
Posted: September 22, 2012 at 1:22 pm
A novel study (1) assessed the salivary stress hormone cortisol and another stress biomarker (alpha-amylase) on day six of the menstrual cycle for six cycles in two hundred and seventy four women who were trying to conceive. Salivary alpha-amylase is thought to measure psychological stress and has been described in other studies (2) as a:
"...sensitive biomarker for stress-related changes in the body..."
The study (1) was able to show that the stress marker alpha-amylase (but not cortisol) was significantly correlated with an increased time to conception; women with alpha-amylase levels in the top quarter of the range were less likely to conceive than those with levels in the lowest quartile. The researchers concluded that:
"Stress significantly reduced the probability of conception each day during the fertile window..."
Although many of life's stressors may be out of our control, yoga may prove to be invaluable in lowering chronic stress - and salivary amylase levels - when trying to conceive. A Japanese study (3) examined the effect of a weekly or bi-weekly 90 minute yoga class yoga on stress hormones over a month testing salivary amylase before and after classes.
In individuals aged 20-30 years the yoga intervention reduced salivary amylase levels by about a third; anxiety assessments also showed a significant reduction in scores leading the researchers to conclude that:
"Decrease in Salivary amylase activity may be due to reduction in sympathetic response. Reduction in State and Trait anxiety score signifies that yoga has both immediate as well as long-term effect on anxiety reduction. Thus yoga helps to improve the mental health in both the groups."
If you are trying to conceive and having trouble becoming pregnant try taking a yoga class once or twice a week or doing an online class or yoga DVD at home. Finding a friend to do yoga with regularly can help you to be more regular in your practice and make it more enjoyable too.

Guardiola, happy in NY, coy about future
Posted: at 1:22 pm
Former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola insisted that he is happy living the family life in New York for now as he kept the guessing game about his future in football wide open.
Speculation is rife about the next job of the man who won everything at Barcelona since he decided to take a break from the sport after coaching his last game in May.
Guardiola was forced to address his future on Friday while he appeared as a guest speaker at an annual event in Mexico City organized by Fundacion Telmex, the charity of Mexican telecoms tycoon Carlos Slim.
Asked whether he would coach the Spanish national team one day, he said: "You never know. It's just that New York is so nice."
Would his next destination be Manchester United or AC Milan? "I don't know... I said I wouldn't coach this year," he responded.
The 41-year-old former Barcelona midfielder said that he would be in the Big Apple for a year, living a regular life, taking his three children to school, learning English and "getting to know the city."
One of his former players at Barcelona, new AC Milan recruit Bojan Krkic, fed the rumor mill last month when he said that "someone" at his old team told him Guardiola was interested in coaching the Italian club.
Guardiola's agent has denied any possible moves to Bayern Munich or the Brazilian national team.
