Click on the photo for the college hottie of the day

Everyday the folks at Collegehumor take a look into college life by providing a new girl for us to drool over.  Seems like a logical thing to do.  Anything having to do with hot chicks seems pretty logical to me.

The most important meal of the day? Only if you want a strong, fit body
By: Brittany Risher

You have plenty of reasons to skip breakfast: You're sleep-deprived, you're too busy to make something, eating first thing in the morning unsettles your stomach.

Enough of the excuses: Breakfast is key if you want to slim down, add muscle, and succeed at work.

The good news is you don't have to eat before you leave home. "As long as you don't train in the morning, there's no detriment or risk of muscle loss if you lag on consuming breakfast," says Alan Aragon, M.S., a nutritionist in Westlake Village, California. So bring something to work with you (try these muscle-building ideas), eat it when you're hungry, and reap these benefits of a better body.

More Muscle
If you want a lean, muscular body, you can't skip breakfast. Since your tank is empty, your body is highly receptive to nutrients—so fill up with the right ones to jumpstart protein synthesis and muscle building.

In the a.m., your body is in a state similar to the one you reach post-workout, Aragon says. "Muscle protein synthesis is low in the morning, so if you can spark that, you're contributing to your overall goal of maintaining or gaining muscle tissue." And more muscle means you burn more calories throughout the day.

A mix of protein (such as yogurt) and a small amount of carbohydrates (a piece of fruit) will give your muscles energy and help you maintain what you've worked so hard at the gym to achieve.

Less Fat
Seventy-five percent of the guys in our Belly Off! Club eat breakfast every day—and they've lost 50, 70, and sometimes more than 100 pounds.

Eating in the morning makes you less likely to overeat during the day since your blood sugar will remain steady—as long as you don't overdose on carbohydrates. Another reason to favor protein and fat: You'll boost your metabolism and feel fuller longer—meaning you'll stay away from the snack machine.

But breakfast does more than just prevent a grumbling stomach during your morning meeting. "When people skip breakfast, their levels of insulin, a hormone that stores fat, rise at the next meal they eat," says Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., a nutritionist in Los Angeles. Have something to eat, and you'll keep insulin levels low so you burn fat instead.

Why not make some eggs? In a study in the International Journal of Obesity, men on reduced-calorie diets ate either two eggs or a bagel for breakfast. Although both meals contained the same number of calories, those who ate eggs lost 65 percent more weight after 8 weeks.

Better Concentration and Productivity
While cereal companies have funded most of the studies on breakfast's impact on students' academic performance, a morning meal is good for your brain. Several other studies show the regular consumption of breakfast improves performance, attention, and concentration.

Think about it: You've fasted all night long—your brain needs fuel to comprehend all those spreadsheets and red-flagged e-mails your boss sends. But a bowl of Reese's Puffs isn't the best thing to grab. Anything that tastes like dessert will only lead to a sugar rush—and then a crash. And who needs that at 10 a.m.? If you want cereal, stick with muesli, Bowden says. Try it with yogurt, berries, and nuts for a great mix of protein, fats, and carbs.

If you are a woman who likes to run or bike or trek, but don't want to use a special iPhone/iPod touch case or pouch, sexual health expert Dr. Debby Herbenick uses a different, more straightforward method, which apparently works:

Yesterday I was reading a post on Gizmodo that talked about how, among other things, the only way to really test certain gadgets is to take them outside and use them in the real world (as in, there's only so much you can know about a waterproof camera without using it wholeheartedly during fun summer outdoor oceanside play).

For me what came to mind is my iPhone. People who know me know that I love the outdoors and I generally have a pretty low-key lifestyle. I don't wear a lot of make-up in my day to day life. I pretty much wash my hair and go, so it's often wet if you see me before 10am. And whether clothes require dry cleaning or ironing play a large role in whether or not I will even purchase them (unless they are beautiful dresses, for which I have a weakness).

I also spend a lot of time outdoors walking, running, biking, swimming, tossing a frisbee or sitting outside reading. Being someone who enjoys their solitude, I do many of these things by myself. And because I like to make sure I can get help if needed, my iPhone almost always joins me on my excursions.

When I run, I leave it at home (I don't run far enough for it to be a big deal). But when I go on long walks or even short bike rides, I bring my phone and yet I need my hands to be free, so I have to put my iPhone somewhere. As practical as so-called fanny packs may be, I refuse to wear them so my iPhone almost always ends up in my breasts/sports bra. In my case, this is a pretty decent place to keep it although - like sex - some positions work better than others.

I've found that having the iPhone totally immersed in said breasts (top photo) is the best for keeping the iPhone safe during my walks and bike rides so that it doesn't accidentally fall out and meet an untimely death or cracked LED or screen. On the down side, my walks sometimes last for an hour or longer and, if I accidentally turn the screen toward my skin rather than my clothes, then the iPhone's screen gets quite smeared (I slather my entire body with lotion each morning to keep it soft, so it may be the lotion - and not just sweat - that's getting on the screen). But you know that look that your iPhone screen gets if you hold it in the palm of your hands for 10 minutes, or up against your face while talking on the phone for longer? It's that times ten, which is kind of gross.

I've tried to keep more of the iPhone peeking out of my clothes (see middle photo) but I've had a few near-drops so have nixed that position.

When I first got my iPhone, I thought it would be held in place better if I tucked it under my sports bra straps (see bottom photo) but not only did that feel awkward, it also nearly slipped out a few times. Hence, the top position won. (Oh, and in case you're wondering about keeping it in my shorts - that's a big no. The waist band on my running shorts is not tight enough and I don't wear lyrca biking shorts, which would probably work fine for holding the iPhone since they can't slip through the bottom as they can with running shorts).

I do worry sometimes that the sweat and/or lotion will - over time (or on a very warm day) - be enough to cause water damage to my iPhone and be detectable as such at the Apple store. And then I wonder if the guys at the Genius bar will consider storing one's iPhone in one's breasts as "normal use" or as "mis-use"? Would the hypothetically damaged phone be able to be switched out? Would this be a very awkward conversation at the Apple store when I swear that while I didn't drop it in a puddle, I did regularly keep it in my breasts while biking? Well, let's just hope it doesn't come to that. It would be awkward (but funny) to have to demo this at the Apple store.

UPDATE: I've been told that my use of the word "slather" was perhaps too sultry. It wasn't intended as such. Let me clarify: I put on a bunch of lotion. On all 65.5 inches of me. And the entire process takes about 5 seconds. Hence, I say "slather" rather than "place" lotion. [My Sex Professor]

The UFC has come to Philadelphia, PA for the first time in history! Right in my own backyard yet I'm not going! Kinda pissed about that! I couldn't score tickets whatsoever when they first came out. Now, cheapest tickets are $300! Oh well, best seat in the house is watching it on TV anyway. Maybe next time! On to my picks.

MAIN CARD

Penn -vs- Florian (Lightweight Title) -- BJ Penn comes back down to defend his LW title against the number one contender Kenny "Ken-Flo" Florian after an embarrassing lost to GSP months ago. People have started to question BJ's mental toughness after a loss to GSP and whether or not he will be ready to face a very dangerous Florian. According to sources, Penn's camp has moved from Hawaii to California to prepare for this fight. The seriousness in his training has increased because his cardio/endurance was once again exposed in the GSP fight. Will Penn continue his undefeated streak in the lightweight division? He better bring his A game because Florian is riding a 6 fight winning streak and is looking to "kill the master". He is hungry and will have his first opportunity in his career to become a champion. It will not be easy but there's a legit shot. Kenny's advantage will be his muay thai. His reach advantage is also key to a win. However, both guys are superb in the ground game. This may look like a stand-up battle the whole entire time. BJ will have his speed and accuracy in the striking game to his advantage. Bottom line is BJ will defend his belt successfully and in a very dramatic KO. Penn wins via TKO in 3rd rnd.

Silva -vs- Griffin -- This is probably the fight I'm looking forward to watching instead of the championship bout. The reason being is that Forrest is starting to be my favorite fighters of all time. He's the face of the new UFC era and his toughness is admirable. He's coming into this fight knowing that he's the underdog, again. He loves to be in that position and shock the world. Silva on the other hand is starting to be my least favorite. He doesn't take fights seriously anymore. His last two fights has been lackluster but he should've dominated Leites and Cote with ease, not carry them to the end of the fight. Forrest has to be smart about this fight and not get caught in Silva's clinch, where he's most dangerous. Forrest is a big guy and can rely on his takedowns to counter this. Silva's ground game hasn't been tested in a long time so it'll be interesting to see this fight go on the mat. I will be rooting for the underdog and the crowd favorite on this one. I wouldn't be surprised if Philly fans bombard Silva with boos as he enters the Octagon. This will be a FUN fight to watch. Griffin wins via Unanimous Decision.

Sadollah -vs- Hendricks -- The long awaited return of TUF winner Amir Sadollah will fight against a very tough slugger in John Hendricks. Hendricks is undefeated in his MMA career and it will be his first fight in the Octagon. He has fought in the WEC and has made enough noise for an invitation into the big stage. Sadollah has not fought in a year and is been itching to get back. Question is, will the ring rust affect the outcome of this fight? I believe so. Hendricks will rely on his heavy hands to try and knock Sadollah out. With a wrestling pedigree as well he can look to do damage in the ground and pound if it ends up on the mat. Hendricks wins via TKO in 3rd rnd.

Almeida -vs- Grove -- This matchup will be Professor Almeida's last fight at middleweight as he steps down in weight class to battle the welterweights. Grove comes from BJ Penn's camp and has had a so-so career but having a win over a veteran like Almeida will sure to give his resume a little shine to it. Both are excellent in jiu-jitsu with Almeida having more of an advantage. Almeida's takedowns will give Grove some problems and will win because of it. If Grove can keep it standing and relies on his reach and striking advantage then he will win the fight. However, I just see Almeida riding out a decision win for takedown points. Almeida wins via Unanimous Decision.

Neer -vs- Pellegrino -- Jersey's own Kurt Pellegrino will be fighting in his own backyard against a very dangerous Josh Neer. Pellegrino is a very good jiu-jitsu practitioner and can be very dangerous on the ground if taken down. However, he has been criticized by being one-dimensional. His wrestling is not so good and his strikes are not as crisp. Neer on the other hand will give Pellegrino problems if it gets taken down to the ground because of his submission defense and superior wrestling skills. Neer will look to knock Pellegrino out to finish the fight. Neer wins via TKO in 2nd rnd.

Unfortunately there’s no real place I can link you to for the beautiful former Penthouse Pet Marketa Brymova.  As you can imagine all of those pages not only contain nudity, but they involve so much more.  And for only $9.95 you can have it all!

Just kidding.  But seriously, once in a while I’ll post a pornstar on here for good reason.  I don’t think most pornstars are all that great looking.  But when you see one that makes you realize she doesn’t need porn to be a model, it’s quite impressive.

Because it makes the fact that she does porn that much better.  At least I think so.  It makes me think she’s really into it because she could be making money doing other kinds of “not as naughty” modeling.

Eh, whatever.  More of Marketa after the jump

Oprah. Larry King. Diane Sawyer. Katie Couric. According to one snitch/source, these are some of the heavy-hitters jockeying for the exclusive EA post-peephole heart-to-heart sit-down.

Nick Denton has yet to put a bid in, but I don't think $10k will cover it this time around. Besides, he still sometimes refers to her as Erin Anderson.

With so many other interesting things brewing at the World Wide Leader In Twitter Policing recently, we've all forgotten that in just a few short weeks, on September 3, Erin Andrews will trot onto the sidelines at Carter-Finley stadium for NC State versus South Carolina. It's impossible to think ESPN (or Erin Andrews' lawyer, Marshall Grossman) will unleash her to a stadium full of lathered up college kids without a proper, formal interview gravely addressing the incident, one not containing the phrase "I'm being treated like fucking Britney Spears and it sucks."

But there's also palpable EA resentment brewing at Bristol, we hear, and that plenty of individuals, although sympathetic to her peephole plight, have also began to question her motivations — before and after a tiny camera sent America's Sideline Princes Google-trending down the rabbit hole. Catty questions being asked: What was with the ESPY wardrobe choices? Why is her publicist tipping TMZ that she'll be at LAX at a specific time? And why in sweet Jesus did Grossman push that press release out to the world when it could have been effectively tamped down by ESPN internally?

Of course, there's also the GQ photo-shoot predicament. The issue with the Erin Andrews fashion shoot is scheduled to hit stands in the next few weeks. No one knows how these photos — taken well before peephole mania ensued — will portray her and GQ has still not revealed if they'll actually run or if the photos will be accompanied with text addressing the current state-of-the-state of EA. We'll all find out soon enough.

Both ESPN and Mr. Grossman have yet to respond to queries about the high-profile interview requests so, for now, this is Sid Hudgens...off the record, on the QT, and very...hush-hush.

UPDATE: Marshall Grossman's response: "Erin Andrews has not committed to any on-air interviews. She has received and declined all invitations to do so. She is not in negotiations with any media to do so. mg" (He's so scary!)

It's not every day you run into something this unusual and outrageous on the streets of Toronto. Oh, look ... Chris Bosh is there too.

Just two guys, chillin' outside a convenience store in Yorkville. But when your wingman is a seven-foot NBA forward—and you're hanging on a street in Yorkville during the middle of the day—you've got to do a little bit more to make yourself stand out. Wacky t-shirt, it is. Well played, sir.

I always kid with my wife and ask her if she’d still be with me if only a few things were different about me.  So I’ll proceed to pull my nose up, or I’ll pop out my ears.  And amazingly enough she’ll say “I doubt I would have been interested in you if you had those abnormalities.”  But sometimes that’s all it takes.  One little screw up.

Same thing for animals.  I wonder if they play these silly games.  But it must be pretty tough if you’re the animal that actually has these abnormalities.  Sure, evolution put these things in there for good reason.

That however, doesn’t change the fact that these animals are extremely ugly…..

So I watched the movie Big Daddy yesterday.  I hadn’t seen it in a while and I have to say it was pretty funny.  Unfortunately I think that might have been the last funny Adam Sandler movie but that’s besides the point.  Point is that one of my favorite lines in the whole movie was “I wipe my own ass!”

And in the interest of ass wiping I went out and found a pretty funny collection of weird toilet papers.

The next time you want your poop to be on something, might as well be on these sheets of paper.

Apparently, Green Man is a full-blown phenomenon now. It seems to have something to do with the show "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia," which I admit I have only seen one episode of. (I laughed.) So from an obscure show on the FX network to dancing in front of Tiger Woods at the Buick Open ... that's how you do viral marking folks.

Yes, Tiger Woods won the tournament—the final Buick Open of all time—by like, a million shots, and no he did not fart on national TV. Let it go, people.

I enjoy getting away.  It’s always fun to stay in a nice hotel where you don’t really have to clean up for yourself.  And for some reason the beds always feel a bit cozier than at home.  Yet at the same time one is always pleased to return to their own beds.

But for whatever reason, some hotels must have this desire to make their guests feel really uncomfortable.  At least that’s my theory.  Otherwise why the hell would you have a hotel room that looks like the one in the picture above?

Hey you. Yeah, you. You a big sports fan? Of course you are. You fat bastard. You make my physically ill.

Through the magic of science! we have empirical proof of what we always suspected: that sports fans are repulsive slobs that are going to die young.

If you loyally follow you're team, you probably eat less vegetables than your non-sports fan counterparts (the stalk of celery with your hot wings doesn't count). You're also a lot more likely to drink four or more drinks in a sitting than they are. (Then why do they sell beers in packs of six?)

Body mass index for sports fans is on average more than two points higher for sports fans, and for diehards it approaches 30.

I've heard from people who say, ‘I want to drink beer and eat nachos and chicken wings,' " said [Daniel] Sweeney, who is a professor of sport management. "That's cool, because it's part of the experience. Eat, drink and be merry. But the point is you have the other days of the year when you're not attending games where you can make better choices."

Try to clean the pizza grease off your hands before you write him angry letters.
