Mark Herras on "selos factor" in relationship with Ynna Asistio: Siguro sa 100 percent, siguro mga 20 percent na lang. Hindi na ganun kalaki yung selos.

Pagkatapos ng Hiram na Puso, ang afternoon soap ng GMA-7 na magtatapos na ngayong linggo, wala pang nakalinyang proyekto para kay Mark Herras.

Kaya naman daw balik workout muna ang young actor para mapanatili ang magandang hubog ng katawan niya.

Siguro excercise lang, tapos gym. Hindi naman yung magpalaki ng katawanyung magpa-slim o magpaganda lang ng katawan.

Ayoko na kasi pumayat. Kung anu-ano ang naiisyu sa akin na hindi naman toto! tawa ni Mark nang makausap siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

Yun yung mga plans ko this month and the following month after Hiram Na Puso, habang naghihintay pa ako ng proyekto.

Tapos balik basketball, kasi hilig ko ring mag-basketball.

And a lot of workshops.

Of course, every Sunday pa rin naman akong mapapanood sa Party Pilipinas at guestings sa ibat ibang shows ng GMA-7.

Alam ko naman na hindi ako pababayaan ng GMA-7 at bibigyan nila ako ulit ng magandang proyekto katulad ng Hiram Na Puso."

Kung bigyan siya ng pagkakataong pumili ng susunod niyang proyekto, ano ang gusto niya?

Given a chance? Ano ba... gusto ko kung puwede sa TV yung ginampanan ni Aga Muhlach na pelikula noon. Hindi ko na maalala kung ano yung title, parang psycho killer siya nagiging mabait at nagiging salbahe, parang ganon.

RICHMOND

The Madison County Farmers Market in Richmond opened at 8 a.m. Saturday, and a little more than two hours latter, all of the green beans had been sold.

One customer regretted his tardiness when he asked Devin Powell of Powell Farm in Waco if he had any green beans.

I wanted some fresh beans and tomatoes, the customers said. Im sick of that hydroponic stuff.

Powell was able to satisfy the customers craving for fresh tomatoes, however.

By the time the green beans were gone, the heat was starting to turn oppressive, even if it hadnt reached the triple digits thermometers would record Saturday afternoon.

Without rain, the high temperatures will decimate crops, said farmers who worked in the shade of their canopies. Some said they had begun irrigating their fields but said they could not afford to continue for long.

Only a few thin ears of corn, which usually comes in best in July, could be found for sale at the market by mid-morning Saturday. The weather holds the fate of the corn crops.

We dont raise corn on our (Isbell-Smith) farm, said Paula Jones, the outdoor markets coordinator. But, if we dont get some rain soon, there may not be much corn or anything else.

Some farmers in the Baldwin Community, where she lives, have already started putting out bales of hay for their cattle, Jones said.

Staff Photo: John Bohn Christie Thompson, a Gwinnett North graduate and current North softball coach, runs a softball camp held at North Gwinnett High School. The camp is hosted by former Gwinnett softball players now playing in college.

Christie Thompson knows as well as anyone, and better than most, how important it is to pick a college for more than a coach or a name.

Thompson was well advised when she was a standout at North Gwinnett. Her instructors at The Pitcher's Mound, where she had been training since she was 13, did everything they could to help her get a handle on what was most important when picking a college.

"I had plenty of visits everywhere," Thompson said. "I was told exactly what I needed to do. I sent letters to colleges. I went on several different visits to figure out exactly what I wanted. And I got everything I needed out of it. I had a great college experience. I ended up exactly where I needed, and where I wanted, to be.

"I loved it -- even when we didn't do that well. It was such a good time."

It wasn't about a coach. Hers changed after one season. Or about being at a big-time SEC school. Columbus State turned out to be just the right place for Thompson.

"I was told that several times -- it's about what works for you," Thompson said. "It's not about you going to a Georgia. That helped me a lot. I didn't want that and I was not pushed to do that just because it looked good. I appreciated that because a lot of instructors might have been like, 'Go out there and make me look good.'"

Now it's Thompson offering the advice.

She's been a full time instructor at The Pitcher's Mound in Duluth for the last two years.

Going to Columbus State, where she started at second base for four years, and going through a coaching change is something she draws from when talking to her students.

Miguel Lopez spends much of every day on a second-story boxing gym on Santa Clara Avenue near Lake Merritt catering to an American obsession: the human body. From 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. the talk revolves around weight, fat-to-muscle ratios, diets, heart rates and calories.

"People come stressed out and just want to get through the day feeling good," he said. "It's addictive when you look in the mirror and like what you see."

Lopez is 28, stands 5 feet, 8 inches tall and his fighting weight is 155 pounds. The pattern of a lightning bolt is shaved into his hair, which he keeps closely cropped.

On a Thursday afternoon he leads a group of about a dozen men and women through a series of crunches, push ups and reverse situps during a beginner cardio boxing class.

"Grab your hand wraps and gloves and we're going to jump on the bags," Lopez calls out after the last set. Everyone is sweating. A few are panting.

They rise from the mats padding the floor and wrap their hands in long strands of thick cotton that will protect their knuckles, thumbs and wrists. Pulling on boxing gloves -- pink Everlast gloves are popular among the women -- they begin to line up in front of heavy punching bags hanging in front of a wall covered by mirrors.

Some of Lopez's clients come to Boxing for Health to excise love handles. A few people have many pounds to shed. Two women are pregnant.

"I love getting people in shape. That's why you always

There is a cancer survivor, a Russian kick boxer improving his boxing skills, a former pro fighter from Brooklyn looking to slim down, a man with knee replacements, a local fitness trainer who brought in her class, a teenager aspiring to go pro and a 40-year-old woman who wants to fight in the amateur masters age division.

Stephen Anderson is 19 and a receiver for the UC Berkeley football team. The graduate of the Piedmont Hills High School in San Jose has been coming to the gym whenever he has a break since March. His mother and sister are members. "If you want to lose weight you will lose weight. If you want to get in shape you will get in shape," he said after a warm-up.

Attention anyone seeking greater cognitive health and function: Researchers from The Brain Institute and Harvard University reported, for the first time, positive effects on focus and attention in healthy adult women with nutrient Cognizin Citicoline. Companies like GungHo are reaping the benefits.

Researchers from the Brain Institute of the University of Utah and Harvard University have reported for the first time positive effects from the consumption of a proprietary branded citicoline nutrient named Cognizin on attentional performance in healthy adult women. Published in the June issue of the journal Food and Nutrition Sciences, the results of their investigation showed that healthy subjects consuming a 250mg capsule of Cognizin citicoline per day performed significantly better than those consuming a placebo capsule on a measure of attentional performance, committing significantly fewer errors of commission and omission on this task.

This groundbreaking research is of vital interest since several previous papers reporting positive cognitive effects of citicoline focused on its ability to improve performance and cellular metabolism in animals and humans with cognitive defects (e.g., stroke victims). Now, that work has been extended to healthy humans.

Adults of all ages could benefit markedly from the consumption of the vital nutrient. Apparently, Cognizin citicoline exerts its positive effects on focus, attention and memory by being rapidly absorbed, converted to choline and uridine (both psychoactive substances), entering systemic circulation and being finally utilized in many biosynthetic pathways, especially in the brain where it is further converted into CDP-choline, a major building block for dopamine, a molecule of major importance in the maintenance of cognitive health and performance.

Does Cognizin work? GoGungHo Inc (makers of a focus/energy gel shot), believe it does. They made an agreement for the exclusive rights to distribute Cognizin, at the proven effective dose of 250mg, within the energy/focus shots and drink category. And GungHo is going GungHo. They recently broke launch records with the social media release of their product; University students, gamers and women, love the "smooth focus" said Mason, co-founder. "We asked students what they wanted in an energy drink and they told us they actually wanted focus. Focus to game, study or work without the typical distracting buzz, jitters and crash. They also wanted the convenience of a gel shot with no sugar and all-natural ingredients." GungHo has a patent-pending on their focus gel shot. "We combined the long-term impact on focus and memory provided by the Cognizin with the immediate alertness of caffeine - far less than used in typical energy shots - and the smoothness of ashwaganda. Hence folks can get the energy and focus they want without the harsh jitters or crash." Said Dr Dan Mowry.

Dr Renshaw, Director at The Brain Institute and former professor of Psychiatry at Harvard - one of the primary researchers on Cognizin Citicoline - peer reviewed GungHo' formula and stated:

"GungHo is the ONLY energy shot or drink that contains natural ingredients at proven effective doses to improve focus and concentration. Unlike other energy products that deal with short-term energy and no lasting impact on brain energy, GungHo will actually increase levels of critical neurotransmitters in the brain over time."

Will GungHo be the first of many products to benefit from focusing on Cognizin Citicoline? We shall see.

Health and Fitness: Breakthrough Research On New Focus & Brain Health Nutrient

ROCKFORD The city will save millions of dollars as it transfers operation of its Coronado Performing Arts Center to a private management firm. Equally significant, perhaps even more so, is the projected dramatic turnaround of the citys primary revenue source for economic development initiatives.

The citys Redevelopment Fund, awash in red ink, has for years struggled to ignite meaningful economic development. In turn, the city has leaned on its few other tools to spur development, most notably tax increment finance districts. The city has 29 such districts, many of which are underperforming and running deficits of their own.

But with management of the Coronado falling under the Rockford Area Venues and Entertainment Authority, combined with other city budget decisions, the Redevelopment Fund can reclaim its purpose and potential.

Rockford has no shortage of economic development needs. The citys economy relies heavily on manufacturing and leaders are trying to grow a firm foothold in the aerospace industry. Mayor Larry Morrissey is fond of describing plans for a downtown riverwalk and a whitewater kayak course on the Rock River. The Amerock building downtown, and the city-owned Barber-Colman industrial property a few blocks south, are considered by many as prime, though costly, sites for redevelopment. Suddenly, Rockford may have the money to tackle some of this stuff.

Aldermen are asking themselves how the city should spend it.

We dont want to repeat our mistakes with the Redevelopment Fund, said Ald. Venita Hervey, D-5. We need to build a strong guidance policy. Thats what we need to decide and thats what Im going to be proposing to the City Council.

Purpose drifted after creation The Redevelopment Fund, fed by hotel, restaurant and liquor taxes, was established in 1978 to first cover any operating shortfalls at the former MetroCentre, then to aid redevelopment downtown. But in the intervening years, aldermen didnt uphold that guideline. Pressure to tap the fund for all sorts of city needs intensified in the 1980s, following Rockford voters decision to rescind the citys home rule powers.

The loss of home rule left the city with fewer options to pay for economic development and cultural initiatives. The Redevelopment Fund became an easy target. Only 40 percent of Redevelopment Fund cash generated since 1978 actually made it to the MetroCentre by 2009.

Then, three years ago, the arena faced a financial crisis, and aldermen stopped the bleeding by expanding its public subsidy while taking steps to correct decades of Redevelopment Fund mismanagement.

Today, a new entity governs the arena, Davis Park and the Coronado. The RAVE authority, governed by a public board of directors, pays private venues management firm SMG $200,000 a year to operate the three facilities. The combined city subsidy to those venues has shrunk and is projected to shrink further. The city last year reworked its contract with the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and as part of that deal and is sending less hotel tax revenues to the bureau than it previously did.

Jake Holmes, owner of Pilates United, could be your next boss.

First, tell me about your company.

I established Pilates United with Moji Austell in 1993. Its a fitness studio. Our objective was to give our clients exactly what they wanted and needed in the way of personal training. Today we have two studios, in La Jolla and Middletown, and were planning a third for 2013.

How did you get started in this business?

After college I struggled in the corporate world for a while but found myself poorly equipped for that life. So Moji and I (we were married at the time) decided to start our own business. We didnt have much money so we restricted our choices to businesses we could start with less than 10K. We interviewed several couples who owned businesses together. We discovered that the couples who seemed happiest were in businesses that they were passionate about. We chose the fitness industry.

I have always been an athlete. I wrestled in school and did body building, triathlons and marathons in the Navy and throughout my twenties. Moji was also accomplished in running and weight training. We found out about Pilates when she injured her knee on a training run. My sister, a professional dancer and choreographer in LA, told us to check out this new thing a lot of the dancers were doing Pilates. We tried it once and we were hooked.

We spent the next year traveling to different studios around the country and spent about every dollar we had learning from different instructors. At the time there was no real training or certifications available. Eventually we opened a tiny studio with one piece of equipment in a 10x14 room in a La Jolla health club.

Today were still partners but married to other people and are even more passionate about what we do than when we started. As a side note, although thousands of people have come through our doors both Moji and I still have each of our first clients.

What are the backgrounds of your employees? Are they new to the field? Long-timers?

Weve had several trainers through the years, all from different backgrounds. Rarely do they have professional fitness backgrounds, but theyve all had a passion for it. Some have come to us already trained but the most successful ones weve trained ourselves. We have four long time trainers. We also have a few newer trainers who are also amazing.
