Your current body mass index (BMI) is: 19
Based on your current BMI, you are in the Underweight category.
Where do you stand on the BMI chart:
Given your height, gender, and frame size, your ideal weight is: 54 kilograms
In order to reach your ideal weight, you need to: gain 5 kilograms
To achieve your ideal weight, it is better to avoid aggressive weight loss
or weight gain methods as they mostly don't work and might cost you a fortune.
We recommend you to: gain 0.5 kilograms per week
To do so, you need to consume 500 calories more than your body burns each day.
Your gender: Female
Your frame size: Small
Your height: 163 centimeters
Your weight: 49 kilograms
We can help you stay on track towards achieving your ideal weight. Given your current weight and your ideal body weight,
we suggest that you try to reach 49.5 kilograms by next week.
Please come back every week or so to revisit your weekly goal irrespective of whether you have made any progress
towards your goals during that week. To make this harder to forget, you can bookmark OptYourLife.com in your browser or just remember our straightforward address ;)
1. Work habits and life style mainly determine how many calories we need to consume each day. If your job involves heavy physical labor, you naturally burn more calories compared to someone who has an office job. If your job does not require intense physical activity, exercise can help increase the number of calories you burn each day.
2. As a rough estimate, to maintain a normal body weight, an average woman needs about 1,800 calories per day. In comparison, an average man needs about 2,200 calories per day. Furthermore, participating in a moderate level of physical activity requires an additional 200 calories per day.
3. Starvation diets may result in rapid weight loss. But, maintaining such a drastically different weight is almost impossible in practice. When food intake is severely restricted, the body begins to adapt to this state of poor nutrition by reducing its metabolic rate, potentially making it even more difficult to lose weight.
4. Remember that the most successful weight loss comes from dietary changes and healthy food choices that will stay with you over time, not from diets that leave you feeling deprived or result in binge-eating episodes.
5. The desire to lose weight must come from you. If you are ambivalent about making changes in your lifestyle or are doing this to please someone else, you are likely to fail. When making changes, decide what is right for your lifestyle. Your best friend's diet and exercise plan may be all wrong for you. The key is to find a system that works for you.
6. Keeping some healthy snacks in your car, purse, and desk drawer can help satisfy your cravings and prevent you from going overboard on all the wrong foods. This is a good idea when you are hungry at work or when you are out all day and see the fast food signs beckoning you.

Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey are back on the campaign trail!
Following three sell out West End seasons and rave reviews, Yes, Prime Minister is fast becoming the most successful play for a decade.
The original writers of the classic BBC TV series, Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn have reunited for this anniversary production with a new satirical take on Whitehall. Prime Minister Jim Hacker and his Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby are back, spinning out of control through the collapsing euro and austerity measures in a world of 24 hour news, Blackberrys and 'sexed up' dossiers.
With the country on the brink of financial meltdown the PM is staring disaster in the face with his only apparent salvation in a morally dubious deal with the Foreign Minister of Kumranistan. Will Jim Hacker and his team of advisors be able to rescue the country from the edge?

Do you wear it or hang it?
"The choice is really yours," said Nicholas Ruiz, as we chatted over chocolate chip cookies in MoMA's Cafe 2. He was referring to the 11 bow ties in The Bow Tie Collection, which he designed and crafted over the 2011 calendar year. Each one was inspired by the exhibition openings and benefits he worked last year at The Museum of Modern Art—and each was worn by him on the night of the event. (See the full slideshow below.)
I asked Nicholas, who works at MoMA as the assistant to the Director of Special Programming and Events, to wear one of his "neckpieces" to our chat, and as we entered the café, a couple quickly pointed to the brightly colored Lego bow tie that he made for last year's Armory Party. "People tend to be very curious and ask me where I buy my bow ties," said Nicholas." When I explain I make them, the questions keep on coming."
Each of the 11 bow ties in his collection was hand-made from unique and often recycled materials at Nicholas's apartment in Forest Hills, Queens, during the weeks leading up to an opening or benefit. As with many artists, the idea for each piece came to fruition organically, and every bow tie drew style and design influences from its correlating event. The custom bow ties have ranged from looping film negatives for MoMA's fourth annual Film Benefit, honoring Pedro Almodóvar, to a wine-cork bow tie from the restaurants of his favorite chef, Jose Garces, for the German Expressionism: The Graphic Impulse exhibition opening. Even computer wires, circuit boards, and a working QR code became a bow tie for Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects.
A chance meeting with the singer Janelle Monáe in November 2010 sparked his idea to create these wearable works of art.
"She wears this fantastic bow tie in her music video for "Tightrope," Nicholas said. "I started looking for a similar one in NYC, but couldn't find anything—so I decided to just make one myself."
The occasion for his very first bow tie was the February 8, 2011, opening of MoMA's Picasso: Guitars 1912–1914 exhibition.
Recently Tree Hugger, the popular website for green news, reached out to Nicholas to ask him about his bow ties. "I was very surprised," says Nicholas. "There had been some buzz about the eco-friendly aspect to them, and how several are made from sustainable materials, like the soda-can bow tie for Francis Alÿs: A Story of Deception. They called me the "king of recycling" in the article," he says, grinning. "I'm a good recycler, but I'm not sure I deserve that crown!" Other recycled materials, like a Queens Chronicle newspaper, helped shape his bow tie for de Kooning: A Retrospective, and chandelier crystals from a neighborhood lighting store became the bow tie for The Party in the Garden 2011.
For his first gallery show later this spring, Nicholas will frame the Bow Tie Collection with special back panels that allow for easy removal. And if you're wondering what he has in store for his next collection, Nicholas will be designing—and, once again, hand-crafting—100 different bow ties. "I want the next collection to be participatory, so I'm asking people to send and suggest materials that they would like to see made into a bow tie. You hand me a box of old cocktail stirrers, you're gonna see cocktail stirrers like never before!"
You can follow Nicholas on Twitter @BowTieBoy, view his bow tie art at MadeInForestHills, or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

If you've been waiting to hop on the loose leaf tea wagon, now is the perfect time to join the revolution.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Tiger Woods described his recovery from back surgery as a "very slow process" that offered him no timetable on when he can return for a summer filled with big championships.
Woods already missed the Masters, choosing to have microdiscectomy surgery March 31 in Park City, Utah, to relieve pain from a pinched nerve.
In a wide-ranging blog on his website Monday, Woods said he is still sore from the incision and his only contact with golf clubs is a few putts and chips that do not require him to rotate his back. He said tests showed no arthritic changes, which he attributed to being in good shape and strong in his legs and abdomen.
"I made the decision to have surgery because physically I just couldn't make a golf swing," Woods wrote. "The pretty much sums it up."
Though he is uncertain when he can even start hitting half-shots, Woods made it sound as though he would not be ready for the U.S. Open on June 12-15 at Pinehurst No. 2, the major championship course where he has the most experience.
"As I've said several times, I hope to be back sometime this summer, but I just don't know when," Woods said.
The one nonmajor that is important to him is the Quicken Loans National at Congressional, with a new title sponsor stepping in at a tournament that benefits his foundation.
"Whether I'm able to play or not, I'm going to be there to support it," Woods said.
That tournament is two weeks after the U.S. Open and three weeks before the British Open, with the PGA Championship, FedEx Cup playoffs and Ryder Cup filling out a busy lineup of big-time golf.
"You can understand why I want to hurry up and get better," Woods said.
Woods, who last played March 9 at Doral, said all he could do was to follow a strength program, listen to the doctors, chart his progress and wait.
"I haven't used a sand wedge yet," he said. "I've done putting and chip-and-runs using the same length of motion. I haven't really rotated yet. As far as taking a full swing, I have conference calls with my doctors every couple of weeks to see how my progress is and just kind of chart it out from there. Basically, you just follow a program. It's tedious because it's little rehab stuff, but you still have to do it.
"That's where I think the experiences of having gone through the surgeries in the past have really helped, because you have to lay the foundation down first before you can do the more arduous activities and then return to form," he said. "I'm walking and able to cycle now and started swimming last week."
Woods missed the Masters for the first time in his career and said it wasn't as difficult as some might think to watch on TV. He compared it to the British Open and PGA Championship in 2008, which he missed after reconstructive surgery on his left knee.
He started watching mainly when Fred Couples got into the mix, and he lost a little interest when Couples fell off the pace early in the final round. Woods congratulated Bubba Watson and said Augusta National is suited to left-handed players like Watson and Phil Mickelson who hit a fade, a shot that works well on key holes along the back nine.
On other topics:
—Woods said he has enjoyed spending time with his 6-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. He says he can't practice soccer with Sam, and he can't move quickly when working on baseball drills with Charlie.
—He said it helps to go through rehab at the same time with Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn, even though she is further along. "Her sessions are much longer and more developed," he said. "Her knee is getting stronger and it's good to see. She hopes to be ready to compete again in December."
Woods also said he has been texting with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who had "the exact same surgery" in December and couldn't play the final game of the year. "He just couldn't function anymore," Woods said.
The mystery about Woods is that golf requires a sudden, swift rotation through the ball. Plus, Woods said every person responds differently to surgery.
"I'm doing everything I can and listening to my doctors and working on a strength program, and then we just have to see how my back is," Woods said. "Some people heal up in three months, some people take four months, some people take longer. I just don't know."

Americans United for Life, the nation's premier pro-life legal team, works through the law and legislative process to one end: Achieving comprehensive legal protection for human life from conception to natural death. The nonprofit, public-interest law and policy organization holds the unique distinction of being the first national pro-life organization in America— incorporated in 1971, before the infamous Roe v. Wade decision.
AUL's legal team has been involved in every abortion-related case before the U.S. Supreme Court since Roe v. Wade, including AUL's successful defense of the Hyde Amendment before the Supreme Court. AUL's legal expertise and acumen set the bar in the pro-life community for the creation of effective and defensible pro-life positions. At the state, federal and international levels, AUL works to advance life issues through the law and does so through measures that can withstand judicial obstacles so that pro-life laws will be enforced. AUL knows that reversing Roe v. Wade can be accomplished through deliberate, legal strategies that accumulate victories, build momentum, and restore a culture of life.
But AUL's distinction extends beyond federal measures. AUL works at the state level to craft tailored strategies and legislative tools that will assist state and local officials as they defend and protect life. In all fifty states, AUL's team has worked with governors, legislators and pro-life leaders to ensure that everyone is welcomed in life and protected in law. AUL's representatives in the states are on the frontlines of the policy debates, while AUL attorneys craft model legislation and legal analysis, as well as provide expert testimony on critical life issues being debated in the states.
An example of success: since 1985 AUL has spearheaded efforts both to educate about and to pass Fetal Homicide Laws and protections for Unborn Victims of Violence. As a result, 36 states —and counting — have passed the historic provisions.
Comprehensive analysis and state-by-state insight are extraordinary resources that AUL makes available to pro-life leaders, attorneys and officeholders nationwide. The source: DEFENDING LIFE, an annual guide which details the life initiatives underway in all of the 50 states, analyzes many important issues, provides model legislation, and compares the 50 states in the well-publicized "Life List," which ranks the states based on the status of all life issues at play.
Defending Life has been unparalleled in pointing the way to protecting women now, to limiting the abortion license created by the Supreme Court, and to preparing the ground to overturn Roe.
AUL is taking its pro-life message to law schools through ADVOCATES FOR LIFE, building networks of future lawyers and helping develop and train the next generation of pro-life leaders. To equip them, AUL experts created the Constitutional Law and Abortion Primer as a resource for students who are learning how to turn their pro-life conviction into pro-life legal expertise. And law students contribute their enthusiasm and ideas to the work of AUL at the state and local levels.
LAWYERS FOR LIFE, the nationwide network of pro-life attorneys, is building a presence in the legal community to enable pro-life lawyers to network, to learn from one another and to provide protections for all in every state.
AUL is defending life around the world. Though human rights belong to all human beings, anti-life forces seek to develop "international law" to provide for a "right to abortion" that agenda-driven U.S. judges will, in turn, impose upon us. AUL, joining with pro-life lawyers around the world, fights this at the United Nations, in international courts, and in other countries. Our groundbreaking Latin American version counterpart to Defending Life was published in 2011. And, our attorneys regularly consult with pro-life allies in other countries to assist them in passing pro-life laws.
AUL's expertise leads to many opportunities to make a case for life and the legal foundation that supports this gift we share. AUL experts speak and write for news outlets and at events nationwide. And AUL's name appears thousands of times each month in the media as the complicated legal issues surrounding life are debated. You can find AUL on television, in print, and on informative websites every day, from the New York Times to Fox News. And AUL has been innovative in getting its message out through online events, innovative media strategies and award-winning advertising.
The national vantage point of AUL's operation makes it uniquely qualified to recognize and honor pro-life leadership for accomplishments at state, federal and international levels, often achieved in partnerships with AUL's team. Among the leaders who have accepted AUL's honors for their consistent and effective efforts to protect life are the legendary Rep. Henry Hyde, Gov. Haley Barbour and U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner.
With more than 40 years of pro-life legal leadership, AUL has a distinguished record of accomplishments. A few key victories stand out as representative of AUL's unique contributions to pro-life success.
1. Winning the Hyde Amendment Case Before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1980, Americans United for Life won a historic victory for the Hyde Amendment in Harris v. McRae case before the U.S. Supreme Court. AUL attorney Victor Rosenblum argued the case before the Court, resulting in a favorable decision and ending a four-year court battle. This monumental court decision upholds federal and state prohibitions on public funding of abortion except in the case of the life of the mother.
2. Establishing Fetal-Homicide Legislation in 36 states.
A fetal-homicide law recognizes an unborn child as a potential victim of criminal violence. AUL's legal experts laid the intellectual groundwork to implement this legislation nationwide. At the time of the Roe decision in 1973, only three states enforced these protective laws. Today 36 states have fetal homicide laws in place. Twenty-four of those states even protect the child beginning at conception.
3. Defending Life, Reducing Abortions State by State.
According to scholar Dr. Michael J. New, AUL's crucial work in helping parental involvement laws, informed consent laws and limits on taxpayer funding of abortions has reduced abortions across the country by an estimated 25 percent since 1992 when the Supreme Court started allowing significant abortion limitations. In 2006, AUL decided to make its legal knowledge accessible to pro-life legislators and activists across the country and published the first edition of Defending Life, which instantly became known as the "legal bible of the pro-life community."
4. A Leading Role in the Fight Against Assisted Suicide.
In 1980, AUL published an important book on "Death, Dying and Euthanasia," and has continued to be involved in every significant case, at the state and federal level, about assisted suicide, including the extensive role AUL played in Baxter v. Montana in 2009.
5. Successfully Protecting Life Overseas.
In 1979, AUL played a pivotal role in amending the Irish Constitution to protect life by precluding abortion. At a pro-life conference in Ireland, AUL was consulted about abortion and the role Roe v. Wade played in the US. Subsequently, AUL engaged in an extensive educational and media campaign in Ireland. Eventually, the Irish people amended their constitution, and Ireland remains one of the strongest pro-life nations in Europe, and a target of the international pro-abortion Left. Their pro-life constitution is being challenged currently before the European Court of Human Rights in a case in which Senior Vice President William Saunders is a consultant.

The Chargers suffered yet another injury to a member of their receiving corps when Eddie Royal went down at practice on Saturday, but that's not the only spot on the field where they're dealing with aches and pains.
Tom Krasovic of U-T San Diego reports that rookie cornerback Steve Williams will miss the entire season after tearing his pectoral muscle in Thursday night's game. Williams was the team's fifth-round pick in April after posting an impressive combine performance following the end of his career at Cal.
Williams was one of the team's top four cornerbacks and spent time working both inside and outside in the San Diego defense. There's not much in the way of experienced or intriguing options behind him on the depth chart as Greg Gatson, Marcus Cromartie and William Middleton are all undrafted free agents who have played two NFL games between them.
With Derek Cox, Shareece Wright and Johnny Patrick looking like the top three corners for the Chargers, things were pretty thin to begin with at the position. Williams' loss could lead the Chargers to keep an eye on corners who lose jobs elsewhere in the coming weeks.

- Mutant Pro 100, Protein, Rich Chocolate Milk, 2lb
Mutant Pro 100 - 2lb - Rich Chocolate Milk - Protein
MUTANT PRO 100 is a protein shake that's so amazingly delicious you will want to try all SEVEN mouth-watering, awe-inspiring, flat out gorgeously gourmet flavours! Each 100% gourmet flavour of Mutant Pro 100 is thick, rich and extra creamy, with absolutely no chalky or bitter after taste. They go down smooth & easy and will rock your taste buds! Each scoop of MUTANT PRO 100 feeds your body with 25 grams of pure whey protein from 3 whey protein sources (concentrate, isolate and hydrolyzed whey proteins). No "proprietary blend" and no hidden ingredients. Just high protein from 100% whey — no compromise, no nonsense — and now ABSOLUTELY 100% GOURMET! with Mutant Pro 100
Body Builders Eat For Size:
Every MUTANT knows that when it comes to packing on muscle, in protein powder nothing's better than whey. And if you're like most of us, you just go through the motions each day…scoop out the powder, drop it in water, mix and swallow. You know you need protein so you just do it. When it comes to whey, great taste is something we've all just seemed to learn to live without as we drink shake after shake. But when was the last time you actually looked forward to drinking your protein shake? We mean REALLY looked forward to it? One that you just couldn't wait to gulp down or savour the dessert-like taste. New MUTANT PRO 100 is about to change your expectations, forever...
The Flavoring System!
It may shock you but one of the most expensive parts of any protein powder are the actual flavor ingredients themselves. Gram for gram, the flavoring ingredients can cost more than 10 times as much as the whey protein! Like anything in life, you get what you pay for. It's pretty simple — include more flavor, and you'll have a better-tasting protein. But in an effort to cut costs and boost profits, many brands use the least amount of flavoring available. The result is the current bland-tasting whey proteins you'll find in stores and online. MUTANT PRO 100 is different. It contains the absolute best-quality flavoring system on the planet and we did taste test after taste test until we got it right.

Debit card users are increasing in number as compared to credit card users. Use of debit card allows the consumers to save money for future use as they know how much money they have and how much money they have to spend. This trend leads to the growth of merchant paid reward programs. Credit cards do not give customers this privilege as they pay later for whatever they have purchased.

Merchant-paid programs persuade customers to use their debit cards rather than credit cards or paper coupons. Merchant paid programs are gaining popularity in the market as it offers convenience to the customers and banks as well. This program helps to reduce the cost incurred during the transactions in banks, helps in revenue generation, builds customer loyalty, and reduces dependability on interchange fees.
Consumers also love to get points and rewards offered by using debit cards and they prefer to shop with debit cards. Increasing needs leads to day to day purchasing and consumers therefore prefer debit cards as a payment option. On every purchase they get some points and rewards from the respective bank or financial institution. Rewards have a positive effect on merchants, customers, and the payment system collectively if set properly but, if not, it may lead to adverse results.

Having problems with your Vacuums ?
No suction on my Hoover Dimension
\015 There is no suction and it smells of something burning\015

Saving Lives With Your Recycled Meds
"In sub-Saharan Africa whole generations are basically disappearing," says Mark Fienberg, a professor at Emory University School of Medicine and an AIDS researcher since 1984. People in undeveloped countries living with HIV/AIDS are suffering due to economic hardship and their inability to receive proper care and medications.
In the United States, access to medication has contributed to a prolonged life expectancy for those living with HIV/AIDS. While many people consume AIDS medications with little or no side effects, others develop intolerance and often dispose of the medications.
More than $50,000 worth of unused medications is sent each month from the Recycled AIDS Medicine Project (RAMP) to the Joint Research Project in Kenya, the Laura Rodriguez Foundation in Chile and CURAS in Mexico City. Kenya is one of the nine African countries hardest hit by the epidemic where more than 2 million people are infected. Outside of sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean comprise more infections than any other county.
Founded by a Longtime Humanist
RAMP is a project of the Humanist Movement, also known as Positive Humanist & Friends. Homer Hobi, a member of the Humanist Movement since 1972, recognized the need for AIDS medications in undeveloped countries in 1994. After receiving numerous medication requests from foreign non-profit organizations, Hobi decided to make an impact by founding the Recycling AIDS Medicine Project in 1997. Hobi has partnered with Philip Freeman, a Special Education teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District, to expand RAMP from its base in San Francisco to Southern California.
Donating unused AIDS medication is simple. RAMP has several locked drop-off locations in Southern and Northern California where individuals, physicians and organizations can donate. "These drop-off boxes are similar to small mailboxes where deposits can be made but medications cannot be removed," says Philip Freeman. A drop-off location has been setup at APLA's David Geffen Center, 611 S. Kingsley Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90005, on the first floor near the security desk. Donations can be made Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to approximately 8 p.m.
|Your unneeded meds can help someone in another country.
Donors are asked to remove personal names and prescription numbers from the labels on the bottles but retain the name of the medication, its strength and expiration date. After the medication is gathered and sorted, the expiration dates are reviewed and cataloged before the medication is shipped to foreign non-profit organizations. The organizations distribute the medications only to those who are under the care of a licensed physician.
Not all medications are accepted by RAMP. Medication more than six months past its expiration date is not accepted and should be discarded by the donor. Narcotics and tranquilizers are also not accepted.
RAMP depends on volunteers and donations to continue improving the quality of life for those infected with HIV/AIDS in undeveloped countries. For more information on how and where to donate AIDS medications or to volunteer, contact Philip Freeman at (310) 551-3065, E-mail email@example.com. Mail correspondence to Positive Humanists & Friends, P.O. Box 460580, San Francisco, CA 94146.

Hey Kids!
Wondering why we haven't been blogging so much? Why all those questions about TDI have been sitting on the world wide web lonely and unanswered?
Truth is, I'm lazy.
But more than that ...
Todd and I have been spending most of our free time over the past while creating and developing new animated shows. It's what we do for fun when we're not directing or designing shows created by other people.
Well it turns out what we do for fun... is now our JOB too!
Teletoon has just greenlit Neptoon's first original series:
We're really happy to be teaming up with the folks at Fresh TV to produce this great 1/2 hour comedy to be appearing on your TVs in 2013. (heck who knows, by 2013 you might be watching our shows on the brims of your hats or on the backs of your eyelids ... but I digress)
You can read more about the greenlight and our distribution partner Fremantle Media here.
We'll let you know more about the show soon ... follow Todd and I on Twitter .. I might update there a little more often.
Probably not.

kamerog mentions bicarbonate (HCO3-). the relation between H2CO3 and HCO3- is determined by pH of the solution and at beer pH (~4.3) the vast majority of the carbo species will be H2CO3. So we are stuck here.
Kai, perhaps you used the commonly given value of Ka1 is 4.45x10-7 which is based on the concentration of aqueous CO2 and H2CO3 combined?
That would allow us to create 10 times more (H2CO3 +HCO3-) from the dissolved CO2. But that reduces the dissolved CO2 by 2% instead of 0.2% which may not be enough to explain this effect. Kai
I believe that with [HCO3-] being the dominant form of carbonate in beer that carbonates could reversibly react with metals, sugars, protein, alcohol etc. as alluded to by Brungard.
On the time scale of things, how long does it take for the CO2+H2O -> H2CO3 to be 50% towards equilibrium? I see the kintetic constants, but don't know how to use them since I have not dabbled in reaction kinetics yet since there was no need so far. Are we talking seconds, minutes days or weeks here?Kai
Where did you find the kinetic constants?
The rate constants are 0.039 L mol−1 s−1 for the forward reaction (CO2 + H2O → H2CO3) and 23 s−1 for the reverse reaction (H2CO3 → CO2 + H2O).

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Effective immediately, Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics has announced the reinstatement of the men's rugby team. The team was suspended on March 21 while Penn State's Office of Student Conduct led an investigation into an incident of arson, which on Jan. 14 destroyed the rugby and cross country teams' sheds near the Penn State golf course. The inquiry has concluded that only a very limited number of players had any connection to the incident.
"We are extremely disappointed that two members of Penn State's rugby program were allegedly involved with and have been charged with arson for the fire that led to the destruction of the rugby and cross country teams' sheds on Jan. 14," said David Joyner, Penn State Director of Athletics. "However, based upon the results of a thorough investigation by the Office of Student Conduct, Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics has determined that a very limited number of players were connected to the incident in any way. A vast majority of them were unaware of the crime's connection to the team. As a result, the team's suspension has been lifted immediately."
Joyner thanked the players for their cooperation throughout the investigation, and thanked parents and rugby alumni for their patience and support throughout the process.
"After meeting with the team's student leaders, we feel strongly that positive strides are being made to honor and respect the history and legacy of rugby at Penn State. We also believe that team members will positively represent themselves, their teammates, Intercollegiate Athletics and Penn State in a first-class manner at all times," Joyner said. "Although this was an extremely unfortunate situation, we are confident that the men's rugby program will learn and grow stronger as a result."
Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics is continuing to investigate the conduct of a very limited number of team members and will handle each on an individual, case-by-case basis.

Dave Rahn straddles two worlds.
One is defined by numbers, losses, gains and the intricacies of investments. The other does not rely on mathematical precision: It is the world of art.
The 61-year-old president of First Foundation Bank is both a banker and an artist, able to intermingle both traits as an executive and overseer of the bank's Art Services division.
The banking world is "filled with people who don't understand art, and all they're trying to do is turn a dime," he said. "I come at it from the artist's perspective. I've worked with a hundred artists over the last 12 or 13 years. I know how they get ripped off. As a collector, I know how it feels to buy things."
Rahn, a Lido Isle resident, and Managing Director Grant Withers, who is from First Foundation's Los Angeles office, head the services that entail art advising, collection management, financing, insurance, appraisal, estate planning, tax planning, investing, education and philanthropy.
It's a service common in New York but uncommon on the West Coast, Rahn said.
"Art is completely unregulated," he said. "The truth about art is, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, when you get enough of those eyes on the right pieces and the right artists, value goes up."
First Foundation started in 2007 but has roots that go back to 1990. In addition to its Irvine headquarters and L.A. office, it has locations in Pasadena, Palm Desert, San Diego and El Centro.
First Foundation Advisors has about $2.2 billion under its management, Rahn said.
Even the bank's brochure and Irvine offices on Michelson Avenue have that artistic touch, with plein air paintings interspersed throughout. It's part of First Foundation's corporate image.
Art Services helps make purchasing strategies and identifies trends within the art world. It's something Rahn has been doing for years as a collector.
Art being handed down through family wills is another challenge, Rahn said, because you "can't tear a million-dollar painting into fourths if you have four children."
"As you can imagine, in any given family where there is more than one child, there is probably at least one who likes the art and another one who doesn't," he said. "Multiply that by more children, the opinions become more diverse."
As for his own artistic abilities, Rahn, a Whittier native, had "the wrong art teacher" in high school, a teacher who didn't encourage him. But someone else did when he was younger: a neighborhood girl. She showed him how to draw on newsprint using charcoal.
"It's one of the fonder memories I have of getting connected to art at a very young age," Rahn said.
Some years later, while driving down Irvine Boulevard when the 261 Toll Road was being built, Rahn felt compelled to talk to two men who were painting outside: John Cosby and Jacobus Baas.
Both artists were among the group who formed the Laguna Plein Air Painters Assn. in 1996. Cosby and Rahn would later co-found the annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational.
Rahn said the two "opened up the world of art" for him. Everything he's done from an artist's perspective stemmed from that first roadside conversation, he said.
Which is partly why, given his experience since meeting the two men, Rahn feels he can help his clients make intelligent art-related decisions.
"You're buying the painting, really, because you love it," he said, "but in the back of your mind, if you're a business person, you're also buying it because you think it's going to have long-term value."

Atlanta Braves' Andrelton Simmons, right, celebrates with Chris Johnson at home plate after hitting a two-run home run during the third inning against the White Sox on Friday.
CHICAGO — Brian McCann hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning to break open a tie game and the Atlanta Braves started the second half of the season with a 6-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night.
Braves starter Tim Hudson (7-7) earned his third straight win after a 10-start winless streak.
He pitched 71⁄3 innings, giving up four runs on eight hits while striking out four and walking two. Craig Kimbrell pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 29 outings.
White Sox starter John Danks (2-7) took his seventh loss in his last 10 starts. Danks pitched seven innings, allowing all five Atlanta runs on seven hits, including homers by McCann and Andrelton Simmons. He struck out four and walked none. Danks also uncorked a wild pitch before to McCann's homer.
Atlanta, which ended the first half of the season losing two of its last three, snapped a five-game interleague losing streak to the White Sox.
It was Chicago's eighth loss in its last 11 games, 22 of 31 and 32 of 45. The White Sox are now 19 games under .500 for the first time since Sept. 27, 2007, when they were 70-89.
Atlanta took a 2-0 lead in the third inning. Chris Johnson, who had three hits in the game, led off with a single and scored on Simmons' ninth home run, to left field.
Chicago tied the game in the bottom of the third. Gordon Beckham led off with a single, but was forced at second on a fielder's choice to Josh Phegley. Alexei Ramirez singled, his first of three hits, advancing Phegley to second, and then Alex Rios followed with a two-run double deep to right-center.
The White Sox had a good chance to take the lead in the fifth. Alejandro De Aza and Ramirez had back-to-back one-out singles, putting runners at first and third. Rios' grounder to short was bobbled by Simmons, but he recovered in time to turn an inning-ending double play.
The Braves broke the game open with a three-run sixth. Joey Terdoslavich and Justin Upton both had singles and then advanced to second and third on a wild pitch by Danks. McCann then hit a two-out, 3-2 pitch for his 13th home run, giving the Braves a 5-2 lead.
Chicago scored two runs in the eighth to get within 5-4. De Aza led off with walk and stole second and scored on Ramirez's RBI double to left. Jeff Keppinger's bloop single to right scored Ramirez.
The Braves added an insurance run in the ninth when Upton singled off White Sox reliever Matt Lindstrom, went to second on an infield out and scored on Johnson's single to right.
Before to the game, White Sox RHP Jake Peavy (6-4, 4.30) was activated off the disabled list. He will start Saturday against Braves lefty Paul Maholm (9-8, 3.98).
Peavy had been sidelined since June 5 with a rib he fractured June 4 at Seattle.

"I think we just need to accept the fact that there are four people at this table, but three couples."
So says Ali (Sophia Bush), summing up Partners' premise in the pilot.
Fall TV: Get the scoop on all the new showsPremiering Monday (8:30/7:30c, CBS), the comedy is David Kohan and Max Mutchnick's semi-autobiographical, bromantic spin on their previous show Will & Grace . Joe (David Krumholtz), who's straight, and Louis (Michael Urie), who's gay, are lifelong BFFs and business partners at an architect firm. They each have a significant other (Joe with Ali and Louis with Brandon Routh's Wyatt), but the group dynamic is complicated after Joe proposes — not to mention, after Louis, unaware of the happy news, assumes Joe had dumped Ali instead like he was originally planning. (In typical sitcom form, Louis cleans up his mess.)Here's all you need to know about this four-cornered love triangle and what you can expect this season.Joe and LouisStatus: BFFs for 25 years and business partners
Relationship in a nutshell: Think Will and Jack from Will & Grace. Joe is the even-keeled, actual straight guy whose patience is continually tested by Louis' impulsive, sometimes obnoxious antics. "Louis is a sh-- -stirrer," Urie tells TVGuide.com. "He acts before he thinks, he is self-centered, but he's not malicious. He just loves life and loves that he gets to work with his best friend." And why does Joe put up with him? "Louis means well," even if it's not apparent in the moment, according to Krumholtz. "He's always got Joe's back. They have each other's backs."
Time management: Doing 9-to-5 with Joe isn't enough for Louis though. While he's a catalyst in getting Ali and Joe re-engaged, he can't handle his demoted status afterward. "Louis thought he'd be Joe's wingman for life and he quickly realizes that he's no longer that," Urie says. "So he becomes a lot of things: hurt, angered, incensed, manipulative, vengeful." That doesn't mean there's any resentment between Ali and Louis, who take yoga together. "It's almost a sibling relationship where there's this inherent rivalry," Bush says, "but comes from a really heartfelt place." Urie adds: "They're totally friends. Any issue that arises is less about the dynamics of the relationship and more about time and status with Joe. That's all Louis cares about!"
Blasts from the past: The pilot opens with flashbacks of the duo as kids, in which Louis comes off as the more mature one, and that won't be the last you'll see of lil' Joe and Louis. "Those flashbacks will be the prologue to every episode," Urie says. "There's a tie-in between those and what's happening in the episode. Sometimes they're really quick and funny and sometimes they're really touching, but it's a great device to capture their friendship."
Exclusive video: Get a first look at CBS' Partners
Joe and Ali
Status: engaged
Relationship in a nutshell: The average Joe (no pun intended) who landed the hot girl. Of all the pairings, this one is the youngest, with the two having only been together for a year, but Bush believes it will become clear in future episodes that Joe and Ali are meant to be. "It's not some schmaltzy, over-the-top relationship," she says. "They're both smart, witty and make each other laugh. Joe lets her stand on her own in her career because he believes in her, but he also supports her when she needs it and gives her a shoulder to cry on. They're each other's biggest champions."
Three's a crowd: Joe and Louis have 24 years in their relationship on Joe and Ali, but Bush insists that doesn't bother Ali. "There's no way she can compete with that, but sometimes she finds out that Louis knows things that she wishes Joe wouldn't share and would just keep for them." What she is bothered by is the fact that Louis has a key to Joe's apartment after Louis walks in on her in her underwear one morning. "He's the only guy in America that isn't excited about that," Urie laughs. "She's terrified that he's walked in and he is terrified that she is using Vaseline on her elbows."
No wedding bells yet: Don't expect the couple to walk down the aisle soon or even get knee-deep into wedding planning. "Nobody's allowed to enjoy the happiness that they have in the present. I think it's nice we're giving them the space to be engaged and to realize what it means," Bush says. "Whose apartment do you move into? What stuff are you gonna throw out? There's hilarity that ensues and that's something that we don't wanna rush through. I don't even think any of us are thinking about the wedding yet."
Fall TV: Like this show? Try that!Louis and WyattStatus: Dating for six years
Relationship in a nutshell: Opposites attract. Naïve and good-natured, Wyatt is a Mennonite nurse (or a "Jewish doctor," as Louis tells people) whose low-key personality balances out not only Louis, but Joe and Ali too. "He's the grounding force," Routh says. "When everyone else overreacts, Wyatt's calm and collected. He centers Louis. And for Wyatt, Louis gives him some excitement and challenges him a bit." Wyatt hasn't always been the moral compass, so to speak: He was a club-hopping alcoholic model back in the day and cleaned up his act after meeting Louis.
The fourth wheel? With Louis "going off the deep end," as Urie says, after Joe and Ali's engagement, Wyatt seems like the odd man out sometimes. "We touch on it a bit in one episode," Routh says. "Louis says Joe is family, and Wyatt questions, 'Well, if Joe is family, what are we? What is family? Is it friends? Is it relationships? Is it all of us as friends? Can we be a family?'" Still, Wyatt is close with both Joe and Ali, to whom he serves as what Bush calls "her spirit guide." "Wyatt and Ali are the outsiders to Joe and Louis, so that's a common ground for them," Routh says. "And because he's been with Louis longer, he can tell her, 'Oh, they do this a lot.' I think they'll get even closer as we go on."
A very Mennonite Thanksgiving: Wyatt will get the spotlight in the Thanksgiving episode when the foursome visits Wyatt's family and he comes out. "As not only gay, but vegan," Routh says. "I hear-tell that the whole vegan thing is almost worse for them!"Check out an exclusive clip and the opening titles below. Partners premieres Monday at 8:30/7:30c on CBS.

We were so happy to get to take a few days and head up to Taylor for the 24th of July celebration. This is the most Mayberry town in Arizona (in a good way) Here are a few highlights from the parade. Mom and Dad know most of the people and we even knew quite a few.

Stratton turns "1"!!!
I have never seen a first birthday with so much work put into it, Danica does everything with such detail - It was amazing. Everyone was well fed, the weather was perfect (about 88), lots of fun family and friends and plenty to do.
The photobooth was a big hit and Stratton knew it was all about him :)
Breea was the Photographer
McKenna was the face painter
Jennas sweet girl.

New Mexico Tech Scientists Take Center Stage at Global Conference, Sept. 9, 2008
By Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., Sept. 9, 2008 – New Mexico Tech geoscientists will join colleagues from around the globe at an historic meeting of the minds in October 5 to 9 in Houston. The 2008 Joint Annual Meeting will be one of the biggest conventions ever to focus on Earth Sciences, featuring more than 6,400 talks and more than 10,000 scientists over five days.
Five professional, academic organizations joined ranks to sponsor the event, celebrating the International Year of Planet Earth, which is a joint initiative by UNESCO and the International Union of Geological Sciences.
The International Year of Planet Earth aims to ensure greater and more effective use by society of the knowledge accumulated by the world's 400,000 Earth scientists to build better informed, safer, healthier and wealthier societies around the globe.
The Joint Session Categories encompass the 10 broad, societally relevant and multidisciplinary themes declared by the International Year of Planet Earth: health, climate, groundwater, ocean, soils, deep Earth, megacities, hazards, resources and life.
New Mexico Tech professors, students and researchers will present their work in areas of hydrogeology, microbiology, seismology, remote sensing, geochemistry, tectonics and other related areas.
Geomicrobiology professor Penny Boston will present two papers and is the organizer of the sessions. Several Tech professors are chairing sessions within their specialty.
"All of these societies have their own meetings, they all have long history, but this is the first time that all these societies convene together," Boston said. "This will bring people together who don't normally meet. We all have interests that overlap, so it's an opportunity for people to find colleagues and strike up new collaborations."
For several Tech researchers, the conference represents their first foray into the professional world. Jaron Andrews is one of four master's student whose paper was accepted for the conference. He will present his research about engineering a new arsenic filtration system.
"It's exciting and a little frightening," Andrews said. "It's a really good opportunity to see how my work compares to other students around the country and to work from around the nation."
In short, Andrews is examining a filtration system that uses iron and zeolite, which is a granular mineral compound created from volcanic ash. Along with professor Rob Bowman, Andrews has developed a new method of using iron-zeolite pellets to filter arsenic and other heavy metals out of groundwater.
Hydrology professor Rob Bowman will chair the zeolite session and present his research about how modified zeolites can be used to filter petroleum contaminants from produced water. Bowman will present his findings about how zeolites can absorb pollutants like benzene and toluene, most commonly found in gasoline.
Geoscientist Matt Heizler, of the Bureau of Geology, is presenting his research about how argon migrates through rock formations, as it relates to dating feldspar.
Heizler and Bill McIntosh, also of the Bureau, operate one of only 15 argon labs in the nation. The argon-dating process is fairly straightforward with minerals other than feldspar. The process is much more complicated with feldspar. Heizler will present his recent findings of dating feldspar.
Boston will present her research into a newly-discovered biological phenomenon called "biovermiculations," which are little-understood patters that appear on cave walls, in desert crusts, and even in higher plants in deserts. These complex patterns appear to be a combination of biological, chemical and physical processes that self-organize in highly structured ways.
"They look like hieroglyphics," Boston said. "They are very distinctive patterns and we've found them all over the world, even in Mayan temples." Boston and her colleagues are working on developing mathematical models and equations to explain the production of these patterns.
Are there any practical applications? "I am sure there are," she said. "But this is the most fundamental of fundamental science. We are testing our ability to mathematically model a physical and biological system."
Boston's other presentation will focus on her main research over the past two decades – microbiology of high-sulfur environments – from Carlsbad Caverns to Mexico and other locations around the world.
"Sulfur compounds form the basis for the energy system of much of deep-earth microbiology," she said. "We are trying to understand the history and development of life on this planet. We think that early metabolism might have depended on sulfur for its energy source."
The second application of Boston's geomicrobiology research pertains to space missions and extraterrestrial life.
"If we uncover fundamental thermodynamic and chemical mechanics that organisms use on this planet, that can be a model for the energetics of systems on other planets," she said. "We are applying this to mission analyses for NASA missions for extraterrestrial life detection. Mars is sulfur rich, as are Europa and other icy moons around gas giants."
Lewis Land, hydrogeologist with the Bureau of Geology's office in Carlsbad, will present his research on underground water systems related to sinkholes.
Hydrogeologist Sung-Ho Hong and geologist Jan Hendrickx will present their joint research about soil. Hong, a graduate research student, will present his work about satellite-based tracking of evapotransportation and how to perfect the method. Hendrickx, a professor at Tech, will present his research about satellite-based mapping of semi-arid soils. Using advanced math, remote sensing and geology, Hendricks and his colleagues have developed a new method of mapping soil conditions. His research has specific military applications, including detection of buried explosive devices.
Shari Houston, a recent Tech graduate, will present her geochemistry research about "cave pearls." Houston, a 2008 graduate, will talk about her research about the little-known phenomenon, whereby minerals in caves naturally consolidate to create concrete-like pearls.
Professor Bruce Harrison and graduate student Hugo Gutierrez-Jurado will present their research about how geology and topography relates to hydrology, vegetation and erosion.
"We see dramatic differences in vegetation on opposing hillsides," Harrison said. "Our studies show that the difference is solar radiation. Our major research is to understand what drives the ecosystem and long-term geological processes in the landscape. Our contention is that the major driver is soil moisture."
Gutierrez-Jurado is studying the effects of severe storms of 2006 and how the desert landscape responded, specifically an area on the west side of the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge.
Professor Gary Axen will present two papers about tectonics. He will discuss his research into the mechanics of fault lines and how they slip.
Amy Luther, a graduate student in tectonic geology, will discuss her preliminary findings about fault line movement over the eons and the evolution of fault zones in southern California.
Graduate student Jesus Velador will present his research that examines the age of minerals in a mining district in Zacatecas, Mexico. His research will have a significant effect on the gold and silver mining operations in that mining district.
