* Dividend yielding lifts Thai stocks * Indonesia eases on stricter central bank rule * Philippine hovers below all-time high By Viparat Jantraprap BANGKOK, March 20 (Reuters) - Most Southeast Asian stock markets rose on Tuesday as investors sought counters with attractive dividend yields, but profit taking capped gains, pulling Thailand's benchmark index back from the 1,200-point level for a second day. Thailand's benchmark SET index ended the day up 0.6 percent, while Singapore and Malaysia gained 0.4 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively. Indonesia ended marginally lower, and the Philippines fell 0.5 percent afer hitting an all-time high last week. Vietnam stocks rose 0.5 percent. The Thai market was buoyed by solid foreign inflows, but like other Asian markets it succumbed to selling late in the day as U.S. stock futures pointed to a weaker start on Wall Street. The Thai central bank is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged at 3.00 percent at a meeting on Wednesday, prompting investors to look to higher dividend plays for better returns. "Thailand is actually holding up quite well ... But the market here is a bit stretched, it's difficult to break the 1,200 level," said Andrew Yates, head of international equity sales at broker Asia Plus Securities in Bangkok. Among bright spots, Thailand's top telecoms firm Advanced Info Service Pcl gained 2.3 percent. The stock is yielding close to 5 percent, and the company has said it would pay an interim dividend of 4.26 baht per share. Indonesian auto distributor PT Astra International Tbk fell 0.92 percent, adding to a combined 3.5 percent loss over the past two sessions after Bank Indonesia announced new credit curbs, including restrictions on auto loans. As global growth worries ease, some fund managers are increasingly favouring North Asian markets over Southeast Asia on expectations that companies which are more exposed to international markets will outperform. Many Southeast Asian markets, viewed as being more defensive against a global slowdown due to their domestic-oriented economies, did better than the rest of Asia last year. "This year, it looks more of a North Asian story. If the world looks a better place then all of a sudden the markets that are open to the global growth environment become very attractive," said Hong Kong-based Markus Rosgen, head of Asia Pacific Equity Strategy at Citigroup. Evaluations in some Southeast Asian markets are also looking frothy. Philippine and Malaysian markets are trading at 19.8 and 17.1 times current price-to-earnings respectively, compared with 14.9 for China and 10.3 for Hong Kong.

SE Asia Stocks-Mostly higher, Thailand fails again to hold 1,200

Theresa May

It was either wine or yoga for Cindy Neville, 47, of Chesterfield Township, when her marriage of 22 years came grinding to a halt 2-1/2 years ago.

At about the same time, yoga teacher Teresa May of Chesterfield Township was opening her first studio, Santosha, located in the Kingston plaza on Gratiot, just south of 22 Mile, also in Chesterfield.

The timing, was ideal for both of them.

"I went to my first class and cried in Savasana," recalled Neville, a tax accountant. "I thought: 'I've finally found my way.'" Savasana, or "corpse pose," is a pose of total relaxation, in which students lie on their backs, toes pointed toward either corner of the mat, palms upward.

As for May, "When I told people I was starting a new business, they couldn't believe it - 'Not in this economy!' they said," recalled May, a former manager for a chiropractic office, who dipped into her 401K to realize her dream.

These days, Neville practices yoga at least three times a week at the studio, and additionally, is also half-way through a 200-hour, teacher training program led by May.

And May? She relocated Santosha to an existing storefront -- double the size of her old studio -- in the same plaza, but slightly farther north. Business has been booming.

Life Coaching Tip of the Week-March 19, 2012: Work Hard and Play Hard - Video

Posted: Tuesday, March 20, 2012 6:00 am | Updated: 8:42 pm, Mon Mar 19, 2012.

The Live Oak wrestlers would like to thank their coaches, as only they can, for an outstanding 2011-12 season.

The Acorns crowned the schools first CIF state champions in senior Amy Fearnside and sophomore Isaiah Locsin, who also won Central Coast Section titles, placed a program-best fourth in the Blossom Valley Athletic League Tournament while producing three individual-title winners Tyler Pederson, Johnathan Robles-Rials, Locsin and won a share of a third straight dual-meet crown in their first season as part of the BVALs elite Mount Hamilton Division.

This, from a team that took sixth in the C level West Valley Division four years ago, led Live Oak athletic director Mark Cummins to write, We are very proud of our wrestling program at Live Oak. Our coaches do a tremendous job with our student athletes both on and off the wrestling mat.

The programs success is as much a credit to the wrestlers as it is to coach Robert Fernandez and his top-flight staff of Armando Gonzalez, Armando Gonzalez Jr., Martin Gonzalez, Adin Dueas, Dan Locsin, Papa Mitch Collins, Wade Katsuyoshi, Raul Alvarez and Tumendemberel Zuunbayan.

The following are excerpts edited for brevity from letters written by the Live Oak wrestlers to their coaches, thanking them for the many, molding experiences they shared together.

I would love to thank all the coaches for the wonderful year. Without all of them, we wouldnt have done nearly as much as we did. (Coach Locsin) made everyone stronger with his Yoke Fit. Armando Gonzalez Jr. and Adin Dueas just graduated from wrestling in college, so they brought even more technique.

Coach Armando Gonzalez treats everyone on the team as if they were his own kid. He works hard to ensure that were the best we can be in wrestling and in life. The team is blessed to have a coach like him.

Coach Robert Fernandez is fun and cool, but when it comes to business, he is all seriousness. I want to thank him for a great high school career.

- Tyler Pederson, senior co-captain

Bobby Cremins (Jim Brown-US PRESSWIRE)

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP, WLTX) -- Bobby Cremins says he is retiring as head basketball coach at the College of Charleston.

Cremins fought back tears, and his voice cracked when he announced Monday that it was time to move on to the next chapter of his life. He said returning to coaching at the College of Charleston was one of the most rewarding experiences of his career.

The 64-year-old Cremins announced on Jan. 27 he would miss the rest of the Cougars' season and later said he was physically exhausted. Cremins went on an indefinite medical leave of absence but said his condition was not life-threatening.

Cremins was in his sixth season with the Cougars after spending 19 years coaching Georgia Tech. He led Charleston to 20 victories in each of his seasons.

Cremins, asmany USC fans know,was a standout player for theGamecocks from 1966-70. In an odd sequence of events, Cremins actually left Georgia Tech on March 24 1993to take the USC head coaching job; however, he changed his mind a few days later and returned to the Yellow Jackets.

During hiscareer at Georgia Tech,Cremins coached future NBA stars such asMark Price, John Salley, and Stephon Marbury.

16-03-2012 13:23 99% of Fitness Websites Don't Work. They typically fall into 2 groups. 1. An online business card 2. A massive, flashy, unfocused wonderlust of a site Both typically convert less than 1% of traffic. What kind of fitness website do you have? The first kind of fitness website is the most common and are those are the awful free template websites that do nothing for your fitness business and more importantly does nothing for your web visitors.

The second kind of fitness website is the worst. It may have cost thousands of pounds and been put together by a "digital marketing company" they typically do some fancy SEO services on it which gets a fair bit of traffic but the site still doest convert more than 1% because it is some designers wet dream rather than a considering the value proposition of the health and fitness industry.

19-03-2012 18:42 The best way of Losing Weight and Keeping it off, is not to focus on weight loss but rather to focus on methods of getting healthier and building better health. Let weight loss be the side effect or the by product of getting healthier. The other thing is that this should be a step by step process. Too many of the plans are just too radical, and of course people jump into it full of enthusiasm and it works for a while, but then it is so restrictive or tough that they simply give up and go back to there old habits. So it is important to create new habits. You want to be able to look back after 3 months and say to yourself, wow I have made some good progress, I taken some good steps toward building better health and then look back after 6 months and be impressed with how far you have come. Often little steps which may appear to be insignificant on their own, when combined can have a major impact. This should be all about the journey, about developing good lifestyle habits. Now a big part of that is awareness and learning what it takes to be healthy. There is a great saying: That you can give a person a fish and that person will be able to feed his family for a day or you can teach that person how to fish and that person can feed his family for a lifetime. I think the same applies here. Learn what it takes to be healthy, From a Physical, Spirital as well as Mental perspective.

MISSION VIEJO, Calif., March 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Women's health website Lifescript.com interviewed tennis great Martina Navratilova, winner of 59 Grand Slam titles and a breast cancersurvivor, about her health battles and upcoming appearance as a contestant on TV's "Dancing With the Stars."

The exclusive story was published today on Lifescript's Breast Cancer Health Center. Navratilova talks about how she sprang to action after being diagnosed with breast cancer and overcame it just two months later.

"Martina is really focused on her health and fitness. You wouldn't believe her muscles. She's 55 and she's fierce. Sports stars generally do well on the show and she's in tip-top shape," says Lifescript Entertainment Editor Mari Cartel, who interviewed the tennis champ.

Navratilova tells Lifescript how she's overcome many health scares. Her near-death experience climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro threatened her life even more severely than her breast cancer; she developed high-altitude pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) during the climb. Throughout her tennis career, she fought to rein in symptoms of arthritis.

Age certainly doesn't hold her back. Navratilova continued to win tennis matches and tournaments well after the age of 40. Now retired from professional tennis, Navratilova maintains a toned figure without working out. She shares her secret with Lifescript, "I don't train. I was in the gym [maybe] five times last year." Instead, she plays sports, rides her bicycle and runs.

The enviably fit tennis star told Lifescript it's no sweat dancing four hours straight in the studio with her "Dancing With the Stars" partner Tony Dovolani.

Next on her fitness to-do list? "I'm trying to elongate [my muscles]," she tells Lifescript.

Season 14 of "Dancing With the Stars" premiered Monday, March 19 on ABC.

Lifescript Interviews Tennis Great Martina Navratilova

Along with her mum, auntie and partner Jill, Tara Cull is set for an epic cycling journey through Victorias scenic countryside all to raise money for a cause close to their hearts.

Our team is called the Rolling Stones, Tara (in the centre of the photo above) tells Same Same. Its inspired by my grandma Jane Stone, who is currently undergoing Chemo at Melbournes Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

Taking place over two days, the Ride to Conquer Cancer happens in October, starting in Melbourne and taking in the rolling hills and vineyards around the Yarra Valley. This is a challenging adventure which the Rolling Stones have been in training for since the start of the year. Funds the participants raise goes directly to Peter Mac the only public hospital in Australia which is solely dedicated to cancer.

The way it works is all three of us need to raise $2,500 each as a minimum in order to enter, explains Tara. So, as you can imagine it feels like a big task while trying to also train.

So far the awesome foursome have raised well over $6,000, but are still several thousand dollars off their target.

Were doing this because we know that cancer is too big a disease to ignore, she adds. It affects everyone, maybe you, me, our parents, kids, siblings or friends. Sadly, maybe all of the above.

But by riding in this event we are doing something about it. Were rolling closer and closer to the end of cancer and we are doing it together to show our support to each other and the people we love.

Check out the Rolling Stones fundraising page here and catch up with the latest from the inspiring cyclists here on their official blog.
