It's a rare bird who loves hanging out at the gym. Most
of us count the minutes until the workout's over and we can
get on with our (way more fun) day. So the last thing
we want to do is spend time using exercise machines that don't
do anything for us. While no machine is totally useless if used
properly, some just aren't terribly effective, says Lani Muelrath, fitness
expert and author of Fit Quickies. Plus, they put you at risk--too
great a risk--of injury, she says.Swap out these 10 useless machines for
more effective, expert-recommended moves.1. LEG-CURL MACHINEWhy it's useless:
Your hamstrings perform two movements: knee flexion and hip extension. The
leg curl machine works only knee flexion, which limits the benefits, says
Muelrath.What to do instead: Choose a machine or movement that works both
hamstring functions at once, such as the fitness ball hip raise and
curl.To do: Lie on your back with legs straight, heels on the
ball. Raise your hips by pressing your heels into the ball until
your legs are straight. Keep your hips raised as you roll the
ball in toward you by bending your knees. Continue rolling out and
back towards you for 10 to 12 reps.RELATED: 7 Ways to Burn
More Calories2. PULLEY MACHINE FOR SIDE BENDSWhy it's useless: Endless side
crunches on this pulley machine do nothing for reducing "love handles,"
as many people believe. "It's not only ineffective, but can put undue
stress on the lower back," says Muelrath.Wha

one of the most advanced humanoid robots ever built as part of
the DARPA Virtual Robotics Challenge in Waltham, Mass. Called ATLAS, the
giant is controlled by a human operator, who guides the sensors, hydraulics,
and limbs through a range of natural motions, the military said.He can
walk up stairs, stay upright after getting hit with heavy weights, and
climb over or around obstacles in his path -- and may ultimately
boost the ability of first responders in a disaster scenario.Related: Giant

to a bill that House Republicans have passed, and to President Obama's
budget proposal."There is no question that there is a compromise available
on this important issue and that the sides have not been that
far apart and we just need to get it done," White House
spokesman Jay Carney said before the Congressional Budget Office released
its estimate."We have been working with lawmakers to make that compromise
happen. We need to make sure that students don't see their rates
double," he said.Under the plan lawmakers were considering, interest rates
on new loans would be based on the 10-year Treasury note, plus
an additional percentage to pay for administrative costs. The proposal includes
a limit on how high rates could climb, a demand Democrats said
was a deal-breaker.That provision proved unexpectedly costly and, for the
moment, proved problematic for negotiators.Undergraduate students would
have seen better terms than the current 6.8 percent rate but could
have faced higher costs if the economy improves and Treasury notes become
more expensive. Rates for students this fall would have been around 4
percent and would have been capped at 8.25 percent in future years.Graduate
students and parents could have found better deals next year but again
would have faced higher rates than the current 7.9 percent. Borrowing for
those PLUS loans would have been around 6 percent this fall and
capped at 9.25 percent in coming years.Serious work on
An Iraqi soldier (L) inspects the wreck of a car bomb after
it exploded in the military zone of the northern Iraqi city of
Kirkuk on July 11, 2013.AFPBAGHDAD, Iraq (AFP) Attacks mainly targeting
security forces killed nine people on Friday in Iraq, including a police
brigadier general, a day after 56 people died in bombings and shootings,
police and doctors said.The latest violence came amid a surge of deadly
unrest across the country where more than 2,500 people have been killed
this year, including more than 260 this month alone.Analysts point to widespread
discontent among Iraq's minority Sunni community, and the Shiite authorities'
failure to address their grievances, as the main factors driving the increase
in violence.Gunmen shot dead Brigadier General Sabri Abed Issa on his way
to a mosque near Sharqat, northwest of Baghdad, while others killed a
retired policeman in front of his home in Muqdadiyah, northeast of the
capital.In the northern city of Mosul, a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-rigged
vehicle at a police checkpoint, killing four policemen and wounding two
others.A magnetic "sticky bomb" also killed a civilian in Mosul, while a
roadside bomb south of the city killed a policeman and wounded another.And
a "sticky bomb" killed an anti-Al-Qaeda militiaman and wounded another person
near Baquba, also north of Baghdad.The attacks came a day after a
wave of violence killed 56 people, 31 of them members of the
