IS YOUR BOSS AND YOU WORKPLACE KILLING YOUR SEX LIFE?

When it comes to your workplace, is your boss always right? If you answered yes, your rigid social views could be totally screwing with your sex life, says a new Yale University study.

Researchers asked students how comfortable they were with some people having “more of a chance in life than others” and found that men and women who are okay with inequality and power hierarchies reported the lowest levels of sexual confidence and satisfaction. What’s more, the men who put their own pleasure first were found to be the least confident, says Lisa Rosenthal, Ph.D., lead author, and professor at Yale.

While researchers can’t yet explain the connection between your views on dominance and your bedroom prowess, if your sex life is stuck in neutral, it doesn’t hurt to try something new.

The best way to kick stereotypes to the curb, and bust out of any sexual rut? Help her take control in the sack. Here are three ways to do it.

Take Pointers From Her Little Friends Ask her about her sex toys. Odds are, she has some. More than fifty percent of women do, says Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., and Men’s Health sex professor. Tell her you want to use it them together, and have her show you exactly how she likes it done. Let her start and then add your hands into the mix. Not only will you learn what she likes best, she’ll get comfortable with showing you exactly how to get her off, she explains.

Get Her On Top Let’s face it: Talking about the nuts and bolts of sex isn’t always the easiest thing to do with your girlfriend. Sometimes you have to make the move that puts her in control, says Herbenick. Rather than telling her what to do next, slide her on top and into the cowgirl position. By physically placing her on top, you empower her to decide what happens next. She gets to control your rhythm and dictate how much of your penis she’s taking in, says Herbenick. As she lowers and raises herself, meet her with each thrust.

Step Outside the Missionary Box The key to putting her in control is making sure she has a chance to get involved. Power isn’t always about who’s on top, but about what each of you get to do, says Herbenick. The “squatted kneeling” position gets both of you involved and helps you cede control. Here’s how it work: As you squat on the balls of your feet, move her onto your lap so that her legs are straddling yours. From there, you can better stimulate her clitoris and she can control penetration and depth by bouncing on her feet.

HOW EXERCISE COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE

Ngo Okafor Boxing in The Gym

Want to protect your ticker? Keep up those gym sessions. Danish researchers recently found that almost half the people who suffer a heart attack while working out survive, compared to only 15 percent of people who have a heart attack under other circumstances.

Why? Simple: If you’re exercising, people are more likely to be around to help, the researchers explain.

But here’s the thing: More than 60 percent of heart attacks are due to lifestyle issues—a poor diet, smoking cigarettes, high cholesterol, or lack of exercise—many of which are in your control. And while no heart attack is good news, getting yourself moving is just another step in the right direction, says Eric Topol, M.D., Men’s Health cardiology advisor and genetics professor at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego.

In fact, just 2.5 hours of slight exercise a week—that includes mowing the lawn, carrying the groceries, or painting—can reduce inflammation in your body thought to be a major contributing factor for developing heart disease

LANCE ARMSTRONG FACES LIFETIME BAN AND LOSS OF TOUR TITLES

Lance Armstrong called it quits late Thursday in his battle to end an investigation by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, a move that will most likely mean a lifetime ban for the seven-time Tour de France champion.

“There comes a point in every man’s life when he has to say, ‘Enough is enough.’ For me, that time is now,” Armstrong said in a written statement.

The USADA — a quasi-government agency recognized as the official anti-doping agency for Olympic, Pan American and Paralympic sports in the United States — has accused Armstrong of using, possessing, trafficking and giving to others performance-enhancing drugs, as well as covering up doping violations.

Armstrong, who has long denied the charges, made his announcement days after losing a legal bid to halt the anti-doping agency’s legal case against him, which came more than a year after his retirement from cycling and subsequent move to triathlon competitions. Armstrong, who has long denied the allegations, has described himself as the “most tested athlete in the world.”

Although the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has not seen Armstrong’s statement, its chief executive officer issued a statement following news reports that the athlete would no longer cooperate.

“It is a sad day for all of us who love sport and our athletic heroes. This is a heartbreaking example of how the win-at-all costs culture of sport, if left unchecked, will overtake fair, safe and honest competition, but for clean athletes, it is a reassuring reminder that there is hope for future generations to compete on a level playing field without the use of performance-enhancing drugs,” CEO Travis T. Tygart said in a statement.

Armstrong has never been convicted of any doping charges, though the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency alleges that he took steroids throughout his career. The agency has said it has testimony from former teammates to support the charges, though it has refused to reveal who provided the evidence.

Armstrong has called Tygart’s investigation an “unconstitutional witch hunt.”

“I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a two-year federal criminal investigation followed by Travis Tygart’s unconstitutional witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today — finished with this nonsense,” he said.

Armstrong sued the USADA to stop the investigation, arguing it did not have the right to prosecute him.

But a federal judge this week dismissed the lawsuit after finding that the court did not have jurisdiction.

“Today I turn the page. I will no longer address this issue, regardless of the circumstances,” Armstrong said Thursday..

“I will commit myself to the work I began before ever winning a single Tour de France title: serving people and families affected by cancer, especially those in underserved communities.”

5 WORST MISTAKES WOMEN MAKE IN BED

Is your hot and steamy love life feeling more lukewarm these days? You might think you’re doing everything right, but there are sneaky sensual snafus that could be destroying your sex life. While most of them are easily fixed or avoided, you need to identify where you went (or are going) wrong. These five things could be ruining your sex life, so sit down, read up and get ready to light that fire once again.

1. Getting Grossed Out - Let’s face it – the human body doesn’t always produce the sexiest smells, areas of hair or secretions. If you flinch at the hint of a little B.O. down there, an untrimmed bikini line or the thought of bodily fluids touching you anywhere, you could be turning your partner off, or even worse, offending him or her.

There are a few ways you can overcome the “ick” factor – only have intercourse in or right after a shower, turn the lights off to avoid looking at things you don’t like and keep plenty of towels or tissues on hand for liquid mishaps. Remember, sex is messy, so you should work on embracing the fact that you’re going to get sweaty, squished and crumpled, and move on.

2. Being Afraid to Experiment - Instead of laughing in his or her face the next time your partner suggests a sexy cowgirl getup or edible underwear, give it a try. You could find it silly, but it may increase the pleasure your partner experiences and rejecting him or her could kill the mood. Unless it’s something you morally object to or might cause you harm, go for it. Who knows — you might even discover that being “Nurse Betty” is your thing.

3. Not Knowing What You Want - If you don’t know what buttons to push or what gets you in mood, it can be nearly impossible for your partner to do so. If you have a hard time reaching orgasm, spend some time solo exploring yourself and experimenting with toys to learn what works for you. Pay attention during sex and take a mental note of what moves or positions you like best and what you dislike. Plan a lesson for your dude and see if he does his homework.

4. Being Embarrassed - What woman hasn’t almost screamed in horror when looking at her thighs in the mirror, or had an absolute mental breakdown when passing gas in front of someone? When these things happen in the bedroom, it can feel like the end of the world. It’s important to realize that once men turn on their sex-brain, very little can turn it off.

They are so focused on wanting you and getting down to the dirty deed that they’re unlikely to be fazed or even notice that little jiggle under your arm or that you forgot to do laundry and are wearing your granny panties. Sometimes the human body will get the best of you, and your period will start early or you may let out a noise closer to a “moo” than a moan. Laugh it off instead of freaking out, and your man will too. If you’re so focused on what he could notice, you won’t be able to enjoy the task at hand.

5. Falling Into a Boring Routine - Do you have a standing calendar appointment for getting naughty? While it’s important to make time in your schedules for sex, arranging a set day and time for it is one of the quickest ways to squash your sex life. Not only is it boring, but you also may find that you aren’t in the mood at that time or have to “cancel” your appointment and wait a whole week for the opportunity again.

Come home early from work and greet your partner at the door in lingerie or arrange for a sexy night under the stars and camp out in the backyard. Anything out of the ordinary, even if it may seem simple, can pump up the pleasure factor.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for decades or just started seeing someone, these phobias, fears and oversights can begin to cause serious problems for your relationship if not addressed. If you can relate to one or more of these sexual slip-ups, there are things you can do to turn your situation around and get back in the saddle.

Spend time looking at yourself in the mirror or photographs of yourself and focusing on the things you see that you like. The more comfortable you are with your own body, the more you can relax during sex.

Talk to your partner. Most men aren’t mind readers, and if you’re struggling with a sexual issue, he may not notice until you tell him. Be open and honest about what you are feeling, what you want, what you dislike and how you can both work together to improve the situation.

USHER’S STEPSON WITH EX-WIFE TAKEN OFF LIFE SUPPORT

The former stepson of singer Usher Raymond has died after more than two weeks in the hospital following a boating accident on a Georgia lake, sources close to the family said Saturday.

Kile Glover, 11, was riding with a 15-year-old girl on an inner tube that was being pulled by a pontoon boat in Lake Lanier July 6 when a personal watercraft crashed into the children, according to an accident report from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

Kile suffered a serious head injury and was flown by helicopter to Children’s Healthcare at Egleston in Atlanta.

He died of heart failure Saturday, the sources said, disputing other reports that the child was taken off life support.

Jeffrey Hubbard, a 38-year-old Atlanta man, was driving the personal watercraft, the investigation report said. Investigators concluded that alcohol was not involved in the incident.

CNN Atlanta affiliate WSB, citing the DNR, reported that Hubbard and the children were part of the same group on a lake outing.

The boy’s mother, Tameka Raymond, was married to Usher for two years. They have two children together, ages 3 and 4. They divorced in 2009.

Kile’s father is Ryan Glover, the president of Bounce TV, a fledgling television network targeting African-American audiences. He is also a former executive with Turner Broadcasting, the parent company of CNN.

HOSNI MUBARAK, EGYPT’S EX-PRESIDENT, SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON

Cairo (CNN) — The Cairo courtroom erupted in chaos Saturday after an Egyptian judge convicted former President Hosni Mubarak, but acquitted six of his aides, for the killing of protesters during last year’s pro-democracy uprising.

The judge handed Mubarak, 84, a life sentence.

It appeared the entire gallery of men dressed in suits began shouting and stood on their chairs chanting that the decision wasn’t harsh enough. Fists flew and at least one man suffered a bleeding gash to his chin.

“We want honesty!” they shouted. “Revolution til victory!”

Other Mubarak opponents headed to Tahrir Square, the center of last year’s protests, shouting, “Illegitimate! Illegitimate!” They also chanted for Mubarak’s execution.

The echoing cheers outside the police academy where the trial was held turned to angry shouts as people heard that all of Mubarak’s senior advisers and his two sons were acquitted.

The mostly anti-Mubarak crowd threw rocks at police, smashed cars, and cursed the ruling military council.

Mubarak was immediately transferred to a prison in southern Cairo to serve his life sentence, a prosecutor said, a final fall from grace for a man who ruled the nation with an iron fist for nearly three decades.

“Mubarak arrived to Tura prison by helicopter, and will be admitted to a hospital in prison,” said Adel Saeed, a spokesman for the prosecutor. A spokesman for the Interior Ministry said Mubarak refused to leave the helicopter on arrival at the prison.

About 840 people died and more than 6,000 others were injured in last year’s 18-day uprising, according to Amnesty International.

Arab leaders: Where are they now?

The sentence delivered by Judge Ahmed Refaat was the final chapter of Mubarak’s iron rule of Egypt that ended in February 2011.

Handing down the verdict before a packed courtroom, the judge praised the revolution, saying it offered people relief after living “in 30 years of dark without any hope.”

He found Mubarak guilty of the killings, but cleared him of corruption and misappropriation of funds.

The judge also convicted former Interior Minister Habib El Adly of ordering security forces to kill protesters and sentenced him to life in prison.

The courtroom melee erupted after the judge cleared six of Mubarak’s aides, primarily security officials, in connection with the killings. Authorities removed Mubarak and the judge from the courtroom amid the outburst.

The judge also cleared Mubarak’s sons, Gamal and Alaa, of corruption and using their father’s political power for profit.

“The verdicts are insults to the Egyptian people and the judicial system. It’s a festival of innocent verdicts to El Adly’s aides who killed and tortured free citizens for years,” said Rami Shath, a member of the Egyptian Revolution Alliance.

The trial has been a spectacle few Egyptians thought they would see. Images broadcast worldwide showed the 84-year-old former leader wheeled into the court on a hospital gurney and locked in a defendant’s cage.

The verdict follows Friday’s expiration of a notorious emergency law that was in effect since shortly after Mubarak came to power in October 1981 and gave police sweeping powers. It comes ahead of a polarizing mid-June runoff in the presidential election that pits the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi against the more secularist Ahmed Shafiq, a former official in Mubarak’s regime.

Analysts in Egypt say the verdict may not help Shafiq and may strengthen Morsi’s chances, given his position as an opposition figure.

The Muslim Brotherhood said it is not happy with Saturday’s verdict and may call for a retrial. Shafiq’s side did not immediately comment on the outcome.

BOXER JOHNNY TAPIA DEAD AT 45: ESCAPED DEATH 4 TIMES

My love affair with boxing run’s so deep and this is why my heart breaks when true warriors die. These warriors are so rare in our lives. Unfortunately, many of these men lead very troubled lives. Johnny Tapia was no exception. He was such a great fighter. Read the story below: 

(CNN) — The crazy life of Johnny Tapia — a five-time world champion boxer who once wrote that he had been “raised to fight to the death” — ended this week at age 45.

“A family member came home, found him deceased and called us,” Officer Robert Gibbs, an Albuquerque, New Mexico, police spokesman, said Monday.

Tapia’s body was found Sunday night at his home in Albuquerque. Foul play is not suspected; an autopsy and toxicology tests will be carried out, Gibbs said.

In his autobiography, “Mi Vida Loca: The Crazy Life of Johnny Tapia,” the fighter says that his father was murdered before he was born and that he was eight when he saw his mother murdered.

“She got stabbed 22 times with an ice pick and raped,” he told “In This Corner With James Smith” in a 2004 interview.

Relatives raised him and he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, who had himself been a boxer.

“I was raised as a pit bull,” he wrote in the book, which was co-authored by Bettina Gilois. “Raised to fight to the death.”

Tapia started boxing at age 9 and had his first amateur fight at 11. In 1988, he began is professional career, which was interrupted by bouts outside the ring with substance abuse followed by treatment in rehab centers.

“Four times I was declared dead. Four times they wanted to pull life support. And many more times I came close to dying.

“But I have lived and had it all. I have been wealthy and lost it all. I have been famous and infamous. Five times I was a world champion. You tell me. Am I lucky or unlucky?”

In 1990, he had just won a $1 million commercial for Pepsi when he “tested dirty and got kicked out,” losing his boxing license, said his wife and manager, Teresa Tapia, in the same 2004 interview.

“That’s when I met him,” she said. “He was at his lowest, he was living on the streets. He did everything illegal that he could to make money. That was his life.”

Fed up, she said, she locked him in her apartment, whose windows were covered with bars, and refused to let him out for six weeks while he broke free of the drugs’ grip.

“All my goal is to see Johnny reach this ripe old age,” she said. “I mean, I’ll take him until 80 or 90 years old.”

Tapia claimed two Golden Gloves awards in addition to professional titles in several weight classes.

MOMENTS

Yesterday was a good day. My good friend Chin Achebe won his second fight in the 2012 Golden Gloves boxing tournament. I was excited and can’t wait for his next fight. After last night’s win, I believe that he has what it takes to win it all. Ealier on in the day, I ran about 4.5 miles. I hadn’t run in quite some time and it felt good to open up and run. I had friends in town and I took one of them to Peak Performance NYC for  a bit of sight seeing and a workout. While I was stretching at the gym, I pushed my knuckle into the ground a bit too aggressively and suffered a set back. My knuckle swelled up again. It’s very frustrating because I want this pain and swelling in my hand gone. I want the pain gone so  that I can continue to do things that require the use of my hand, such as, boxing and certain types of workouts. Being able to work hard is what creates all the great moments in our lives.

Just as in our favorite movies, our lives are defined by moments. These are the points in these films or in our lives that we remember. These are the points that everyone in our lives remembers. They can be sad, they can be happy, they are nostalgic. If we intend for life not to live us, but the other way around, we have to work to create moments in our lives. That is what we live for. I have put together a list of moments that have defined my generation. Some of them are not man made, but they are moments that moved us. I have listed them randomly. They are -

  • Barak Obama becomes the 44th president and the first black president of the United States of America
  • Michael Jackson releases ‘Thriller’ followed the greatest music video of all time, the ‘Thriller’ video
  • Whitney Houston stars in ‘The Bodyguard’ and sings ‘I will Always Love You’ and does that 45 second intro like no other human being alive, can.
  • Michael Jackson dies
  • Whitney Houston dies
  • The September 2011 attacks on the Wall Trade Center Towers
  • The invention of the Ipod
  • The invention of the digital Video Recorder (DVR)
  • The death of Tupac Shakur
  • The death of The Notorious BIG
  • Aaliyah dies
  • George Bush announces that America is going to war with Iraq

What moments are you creating in your life?

BRAND NEW!!! MY WORK IN ‘JEREMY FINK AND THE MEANING OF LIFE’

I recently worked on the film, Jeremy Fink and The Meaning Of Life’. The film just came out on DVD and is available at your local Walmart. The film is based on the beloved book by Wendy Mass. Also starring are Mira Sorvino and Joe Pantoliano. Pick up a copy today from your local Walmart and ENJOY!!!

 

 

Once I found out that the film was out, I had to get it. I was my parents’ house for the weekend for my brother, Ogbogu Anthony Okafor’s 6 month memorial. The mass and being around all his things was sad, but it was really good to remember him. My parents were sad, but strong. Time has healed the pain quite a bit. When the mass was over and all of our guests had left, I asked my dad to take me to the Walmart. I was happy to find the DVDs of the film in the New Releases section! We hurried home and I downloaded a DVD ripping software. I then ripped my scenes from the DVD and edited the video clips using Windows Movie Maker.

 

Check it out
