With just under 2:30 left to play in the fourth quarter, the E.E. Smith Golden Bulls had offensive possession and about 90 yards remaining to force overtime against the Fighting Scots. After finding themselves down 28-7 after two quarters of regulation, the Bulls came surging back in a second half which saw the 11-1 Mid-South conference champions outscore Scotland 21-7.
But as lauded E.E. Smith senior quarterback Phillip Bell let loose an attempted pass to the flats, Scotland linebacker Tim McNeil made the game-saving interception and returned the pick to the Bulls' 19-yard line with less than a minute left in the game.
With that, Scotland secured the 35-28 victory over E.E. Smith. And most importantly, they could finally breathe again.
"I told my guys that it would be like this in the playoffs," said Scotland coach Richard Bailey after the game. "You have seniors that are fighting for their football careers and lives out there, and the team we faced tonight was well-prepared and never gave up the entire game. We're very fortunate to have won this game tonight."
The first quarter was defined by hard-hitting defensive performances from both the Scots and Golden Bulls, as the prolific offenses of each team could only move the chains in fits and spurts.
Scotland set the tone on the very first play from scrimmage as Bell dropped back to pass. Charging through the line seemingly unblocked was Scotland senior lineman Ed Cain, who dropped Bell in the backfield for an eight-yard loss. Though Golden Bulls' running back Sulamian Mustafaa (who was a force throughout the contest) bounced back with a 19-yard run on the next play, the drive resulted in a three and out for E.E. Smith.
While Mustafaa would collect 57 rushing yards in the quarter, the defensive strategy for the Scots was apparent from the onset of the game: Stop Bell. And the Scots did exactly that, holding Bell to just 10 combined yards (rushing and passing) in the quarter. Scotland's defensive line dominated the interior battle as well, evidenced by lineman Shykeim Oliver's two tackles for loss in the quarter alone.
Offensively, the Fighting Scots have been a team defined by red-hot starts during the 4A playoffs, and they nearly continued that trend on their opening drive.
On an option read quarterback keeper, Scots QB Jaylend Ratliffe broke through for a 61-yard run that would've been a sure touchdown had E.E. Smith sophomore cornerback Breon Charlie not made a shoestring tackle inside the Golden Bulls' own 20-yard line.
The tackle proved to be pivotal, as Scotland was held scoreless in the red zone after a missed 26-yard field goal from Ben Utter.
Scotland would not be held without a first-quarter touchdown however, as running back Josh McPhatter showcased a part of his game usually associated with bulldozer back Jalen McLean.
With just over three minutes left in the quarter, McPhatter took a pitch from Ratliffe 16 yards, ending his sideline run in emphatic fashion by trucking over the Bulls' secondary, which brought a roar from the Scotland crowd.
The Scots would continue to push back into the red zone, and McPhatter once again displayed his strength by carrying three E.E. Smith defenders on his back as he crossed the goal line for a 15-yard touchdown run.
With the Golden Bulls on offense and following a 29-yard Mustafaa run, the first quarter ended with Scotland up 7-0.
Though Scotland did a superb job of corralling Bell in the first quarter, the multi-talented QB finally made the Scots' defense pay with his highlight-reel speed. On the Bulls' drive which started the second quarter, a Bell QB keeper saw the senior scorch right past the Scotland defense for a 24-yard touchdown run to tie the game at seven apiece.
It was the last Bulls score of the first half, as the Scots responded with 21 unanswered points to close the second quarter.
On Scotland's ensuing drive following the E.E. Smith score, Ratliffe targeted Tra'Shawn Gregory for a chain-moving pass play on a third-and-six from midfield.
Gregory would make the catch, break a tackle and sprint off to the races for the 47-yard touchdown reception.
Throughout the Scots' playoff run, Bailey has constantly stated the importance of turnover-free football and strong special teams play. E.E. Smith was plagued with problems in each category in the second quarter, and the Fighting Scots capitalized as they threatened to break the game wide open.
After a Bulls' three and out on their responding drive, a bad kick gave Scotland favorable field position. Runs of 32 and 19 by Ratliffe set up McPhatter for his second touchdown of the game, a no-nonsense four yard scamper to give Scotland a 21-7 lead.
On the resulting kickoff, a booming kick from Utter signaled just the start of the Bulls' issues, as a block from the back penalty pushed E.E. Smith back from their own 20-yard line to the six-yard line.
Three plays later, Bell coughed up a QB keeper that Scotland linebacker J.P. Douglas would fall upon, and Ratliffe scored shortly thereafter on a keeper of his own.
The first half closed with Scotland having secured a commanding 28-7 lead. But it wouldn't last, as E.E. Smith stormed back in the third quarter on both sides of the football to turn a surefire blowout into a nail-biter.
"Their coaching staff saw something in our defense at the end of the first half, and in the second half they rode those adjustments all the way," Bailey said. "They also tightened down defensively, and the game turned into a dog fight."
E.E. Smith's adjustments became readily apparent in a dominant third quarter, as Scotland managed just 42 combined yards and no touchdowns. After a Scots' three and out that saw Gregory drop what would've been a 64-yard touchdown pass, the Bulls' next drive would go for 70 yards and take off a sizable chunk of game clock.
The drive resulted in a score, as the Bulls relied on the 250-pound frame of tight end Davyon Patterson to plow his way in for a one-yard touchdown run.
After a solid first half of football, Mustafaa was undoubtedly the star of the Bulls' offense in the second half and had arguably the best running play of the game with less than a minute left in the third quarter.
What appeared to be a four-yard run from the E.E. Smith tail back turned into a 25-yard touchdown run that stunned the Scotland crowd, as Mustafaa kept his legs moving and broke two Scotland tackles to find pay dirt.
The quarter ended with Scotland up just 28-21, as both teams geared for a make-or-break fourth quarter performance.
Though the offense stagnated in the previous quarter, Scotland righted the ship just long enough to rebuild a 14-point cushion when it mattered most. On a critical fourth down call, Bailey rolled the dice and called Gregory's number once again, and the wide receiver atoned for his dropped pass with a huge 13-yard completion at the 9:30 mark in the quarter. The play had several more crucial yards tacked on via a Bulls' facemask penalty, which gave Scotland the ball inside E.E. Smith's 10-yard line. A play later, and Ratliffe once again found the end zone with an eight-yard run.
But then Mustafaa made his presence felt yet again, as the running back was handed the ball eight different times (for 51 of his game-high 213 rushing yards) en route to another Bulls' touchdown run by Patterson, this time for three yards.
However, the drive took significant time to complete, and Scotland would nurse their one touchdown lead just long enough to escape with the victory after the McNeil interception.
Their home stand now over, the Fighting Scots will travel to New Bern next week in a game which will determine who appears in the 4A state championship.

2. | Linus Torvalds | ||
Linus is God
1. | linus torvalds | ||
Linus Torvalds is the genius from Finland who created Linux and wrote the first Linux kernel. He is an extremely talented programmer and yet he's very modest. (The guy doesn't even make a profit from any of the distributions of Linux out there.) He is the total opposite of Microsoft's Bill Gates (who fears the growth that Linux has experienced in the past 14 years). Linus is a creative, good natured programmer who derives satisfaction from putting out an open source OS that actually works. On the other hand, Bill Gates is an unoriginal person, who likes destroying small companies, and derives satisfaction from making grossly unnecessary gobs of money from selling software that crashes often. Power to the penguin!
3. | Linus Torvalds | ||
The messenger of god against the evil Microsoft. W00T!!! L00k at that Penguin GO!
4. | Linus Torvalds | ||
Inventor of the Linux operating system. "Linus Torvolds appeared at SXSW this year to talk about open source software."
5. | Linus Torvalds | ||
The only man to ever create something (Linux) which may just destroy Microsoft Windows.
Also the man Bill Gates fears the most, he fears him so much that RedHat and Linux.org send Bill Gates into a nervous breakdown whenever he hears the name, or views the websites. Microsoft Employee: Bill, Linux is gradually overtaking us.
Bill Gates: NOOO GET IT AWAY GET IT AWAY!!!! *has nervous breakdown* |


text: Many companies have started enterprises to deal with Local Concrete Sawing. Most of these companies have the skilled contractors who can do any kind of concrete process. It is only recently that Local Concrete Sawing gained popularity. In the past people never got interested in this venture but it is amazing how things turn out and not only do these companies do Local Concrete Sawing, but also train new contractors on how to effectively saw concrete. You can access the yellow pages directory online, and get to learn more information on where you can get quality standard concrete blocks at cheaper costs. Yellow pages will outline to you the various companies that deal with concrete blocks in their masonry work. Normally, concrete blocks are designed to meet customers' needs. When handling concrete blocks, care is of paramount importance so as to avoid breakages. This can only be assured if one is dealing with professionals who follow written policies, procedures and formal safety orientation. Organizations or individuals dealing with concrete foundations need at one point in time concrete cutters for cutting. Cutters offer a modern strategy of controlling sawing, drilling, and the removal concrete. Concrete cutters are special saws, structured with diamond blades. In the past a jack hammer was used, although it never gave a smooth and attractive finish. Concrete cutters exist in numerous types, but the most common ones are wall sawing, core drilling and slab sawing. Demolition is a task performed by the well known, concrete drilling companies. This is not an easy job; it requires professionals and the use of proper equipments and resourceful demolition crews to get the job done. Among other things, the crew manages residential plumbing and core drilling for any size of pipe. To get in touch with these companies, just visit the yellow pages directory and view all demolition rendering companies, plus their respective charges.

Innovation Culture, Developing and maintaining the DNA of the Innovative Organization or RegionSome of the best indicators of a growing, healthy organization or region is establishing and maintaining an Innovation Culture. This has been established in research as one of the two best predictors of 'growth outliers'. It is, however, an elusive success factor that has been mastered by the few of the best. It is also a magnet for talent and other resources. In this forum we'll explore the 'special sauce' needed to establish and maintain this x-factor.Thursday, September 6, 20125:00 – 8:30pmSt. Joseph's University,5:00-6:00 VIP Reception Option5:30 Networking & Dinner6:30 Keynote: Françoise LeGoues, PhD (VP Innovation Initiatives, IBM)7:30 Panel Session:- Adel Ebeid (Philadelphia Chief Innovation Officer)- NJ Delener, PhD (Dean Aarcadia University)- Joseph DiAngelo, EdD (Dean, St. Joseph University)- Dr. Janice Presser, PhD (CEO, The Gabriel Institute)

Using RBAC
The Chalk™ Pushcast™ Software uses RBAC to determine how Chalk Pushcast Software users can access functionality in the Chalk Pushcast Software. You can assign roles to users that give the Chalk Pushcast Software users specific permissions. You can create roles that let you specify the permissions or assign default roles to users using the Chalk Pushcast Software.
Chalk Pushcast Software users that you assign to roles in the Chalk Pushcast Software can only assign permissions to other Chalk Pushcast Software users that have roles that are equal or more restrictive. For example, you can assign a custom role to a user that permits the user to assign roles to other users. However, the custom role does not permit the user to run reports. Because the user does not have permission to run reports, the user cannot assign a role that has permission to run reports to any other users.

President Barack Obama (D) faces Mitt Romney (R).
Rep. Alice Peisch (D) won her primary race against Democratic contender Jerome B. Carr.
Democrat Joe Kennedy III is running against Republican Sean Bielat for a MA 4th Congressional District seat. The seat is currently held by Democrat Barney Frank.
Republican incumbent Scott Brown and Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren are vying for a U.S. Senate seat.
Three initiatives on the ballot:
- A Law for the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana: This intiative seeks to legalize the use and cultivation of marijuana as a medical drug. It calls for no penalities for "qualifying patients, physicians and health care professionals, personal caregivers for patients, or medical marijuana treatment center agents for the medical use of marijuana."
- An Act Relative to Death with Dignity: This initiative would allow physicians to prescribe medication to terminally ill patients that would end their lives. The act would require that patients are mentally capable of making this decision and orally communicate it to a doctor on two occasions 15 days apart. Participation by a doctor or health care facility would be voluntary.
- An Act to Protect Motor Vehicle Owners and Small Businesses in Repairing Motor Vehicles: This initiative would require all car manufacturers to provide — on an equitable fair-market value subscription basis — all diagnostic and repair information for model years beginning in 2015 to owners or an owner's designated in-state independent repair facility (not affiliated with a manufacturer or its authorized dealers). The law would also make available for purchase information for model years 2002 through 2014.

"That was the closest to a Near Death experience that I ever had!"
THAT WAS how our new riding buddy, JM, described our extreme trail ride on March 12, 2011. I meant to caution him from making premature declarations. But who am I to contradict him? If he says it was his closest to a near death experience then so be it.
What I really wanted to tell him is that there are going to be more and even worse trails to negotiate. But that would probably scare him to bits so I kept my big mouth shut. Continue reading

Many people are alive today and leading productive lives because medical science has become so skilled in transplanting some essential organs. Nonetheless, there is a shortage of donors, and many patients die while still on the waiting list. Although most people support the idea of donation, misinformation and a lack of communication prevent donations from occurring. Organ donation is one of the most rigorously monitored medical procedures. Strict rules and regulations are put in place to make sure patients have a fair chance at receiving vital organs.

PC Based DVR
PC Based DVRs have fallen out of fashion and are very hard to find.
To find out why, read our knowledge base article: Why can't I find a PC Based DVR anymore?
PC Based DVRs are versatile machines that give users more control and manipulation over their security cameras. One of the best things are bout PC based DVRs is the ability for them to grow as your security needs change. Initially when trying to setup a CCTV system, you need to plan out how you want to grow your system. Naturally it takes sometime to figure out what areas of your surveillance system may change. But unlike standalone DVRs you cannot expand them to add more security cameras. Some standalone DVRs have very limited graphical user inter-phase options too. In a very brief manner, PC based DVRs gives you some unique options for more involved CCTV applications.
Our PC Based DVR Collection
Our Price: $0.00
- Not finding a DVR that fits your goals?
- Need to record more channels than one DVR?
- Our PSS Software allows you to watch and control several units from one computer!
- Works with our DVRs, NVRs, and Hyrbid NVR/DVRs
- A copy of this software is included with every DVR purchase.
- Apple and Windows Version available.
- Price is per individual license
More Info including: Specs Sheets, Video Demonstrations, High Resolution Pictures, and More
About PC Based DVRs
There are many key differences between standalone units and PC-based security digital video recorders. We'vie talked about standalone DVRs many times in this site. However, the main difference is the platform that the two machines run on. Standalone DVRs offer stability and ease of putting together a CCTV surveillance setup. They are plug and play solutions, and incorporate our own technology. PC-based DVRs offer a more complex and unique approach to CCTV. First, the main reason to having a PC-based DVR is the solely for the amount of security cameras needed. Standalone DVRs usually go up to about 16 channels, then after that you need the support that the PC-market has in expansion slots, memory, and some processing power. The PC has many great features. First, it is a PC! Secondly, many end users have more experience using Windows based platforms and are stuck on Windows. Third, you can really beef up in hard drive capacity, especially with our 4U rack-mount server cases. We can do up to three Tera-bytes for a 24 Channel and above system. Our systems are tested for 24 hours before shipping and come with a one year support warranty. Call us if you need help configuring a PC-based DVR today!
Real-Time Video With PC Based DVRs
If you are looking for real-time recording with audio, then you will like the options a PC can bring to your CCTV setup. Although we offer every stand-alone unit with real-time recording, not all have the room to included a BNC connection for audio. It is very tough to design units like stand-alones, it is so tight in the shell to having audio inputs for every channel is impossible. Most of our stand-alone DVRs have at least 2 audio inputs. Here is another advantage a PC based DVR has over stand-alone units. The more advance your security needs are, then a PC becomes the most logical option. We have built thousands of our units, and all come with our proprietary real-time H.264 compression video cards.
Have Expandability With PC Based DVRs
Let's say you purchase a 4 Channel PC DVR from us, and months later new threats to your compound or home arise. You need the immediate action of upgrading in response to real-life changes. Here is the greatest reason to look into PC digital video recorders. With a standard shell, you can take a 4 Channel DVR all the way up to 64 channels. Sure when upgrading to more channels their are upgrade requirements. Memory upgrades and hard drives are needed to keep up with the video, but we have built the most effective units to keep the price low and the technology high. Why upgrade later when you can just make the commitment today. Unlike other companies we have room to deal with you. If you have doubts about whether you are going to add cameras in the future, get a PC based DVR. We have many clients who bought the most basic system from us and called back a few months later to upgrade. Labor is not covered under the purchase price and neither is shipping. So think before buying a standalone unit, or just call us if you are not sure, we can help you make sure you get what you need and have you some room to grow in the future.

Welcome Fleur Di Lis 16" x 28" Coir Doormat
Welcome your guests into your home with this sophisticated and functional doormat. Made from genuine coco fiber, it is extremely durable, weather resistant, and quickly dries by absorbing moisture without harboring mildew. Its anti-skid vinyl back keeps it securely in place. The mat says "Welcome" and is accented with a scroll and fleur di lis motif, giving any entranceway added elegance. 100% natural coir with vinyl back. Measures 16" L x 28" W. Imported.
Welcome Fleur Di Lis 16" x 28" Coir Doormat
Pros and Cons
I love the way this mat looks and so far the writing on it is holding up well. The drawback is that the material flakes off everywhere and so it is being tracked into the house. It looks good on the outside of the house, just wish it would all stay out there!
May 23, 2012
My First Door Mat
I have hardwood floors outside of my doorway and the mat slipped around a bit when I first got it. Rug mat grip tape seems to do the trick for now.
I'm sure there are nicer doormats out there and I'm sure there are worse doormats out there, but I am happy with this one.
January 12, 2012
Dry Clean?
If it is weather resistant and used as an outdoor doormat why would it be labeled "dry clean only". Couldn't you just hose it down to clean it? Also the "WELCOME" stencil is not straight on the sample shown. It is a little crooked.
January 10, 2012
Very Cute!
Very cute for a household. Not too loud or distracting for your guests; it looks great!

Following the story of Shannon Chamberlain's weight loss, Lorna Kleidman offers advice and motivation for those challenged by obesity, but comments that all weight loss must be done in a healthy manner.
Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) November 22, 2012
On November 22, Lorna Kleidman, creator of the kettlebells exercise program KettleX, comments on an article published by Slate regarding the weight loss of Shannon Chamberlain. In response to the article, in which she recounts her unorthodox and possibly unhealthy method for losing weight, Kleidman offers encouragement and guidance to those who want to lose weight without compromising health.
Shannon Chamberlain, a writer for Slate who weighed over 300 lbs., posted a personal anecdote of her trials in weight loss. Chamberlain, according to Slate, stated, "[My diet was not] medically supervised or liquid, and perhaps this made it harder than usual. Every morning I ate a packet of raspberries—an officially low-glycemic, low-calorie food—and drank three cups of coffee, because caffeine staves off my appetite."
Chamberlain goes on to explain, "Then I'd go home at the end of the workday and eat exactly half of my dinner so that my husband wouldn't realize what I was doing to myself and intervene. I knew that if anyone told me it was a bad idea, I would stop. Eating 800 calories a day and burning up about 400 of them on the treadmill at lunch doesn't leave you with much will to resist. Brain function slows. Your entire life becomes about a set of numbers on a page."
Kleidman sympathizes with Chamberlain and her quest to lose weight, but asserts that all weight loss can and should be a healthful process, with the focus on increased wellbeing, not just shedding pounds. "Weight loss is difficult for most of us. However, it is important to remember that any weight loss should be considered just a part of a larger health strategy. If you find yourself fitting into smaller clothes but you're hurting your body, you're not doing yourself any good in the long run. That's the philosophy I espouse in my kettlebells program: exercise as part of a holistic plan for becoming a better you. It's not about the numbers on a scale; it's about how you feel."
Lorna Kleidman is a Three-Time World Champion and World Record holder in kettlebell sport and the most decorated kettlebell athlete in the country. She developed the innovated methods used in KettleX as a way to bring the benefits of the bells to everyone in an easy to use, comprehensive and fun format. Lorna has been teaching individuals and group classes for the past six years.

The Best and Worst Oscar Dresses Ever
With the 83rd Annual Academy Awards coming up, we've rounded up some of the most buzzed-about hits and misses in red carpet history. Let's see if the starlets who walk the carpet this year will keep these looks in mind in terms of what to aim for and what to steer wayyy clear of.
By Victoria Lowe
Worst Dressed: Demi Moore, 1989
Someone should either find the other half of her skirt or point her in the direction of the nearest cycling club. Thankfully, Demi left her subsequent wardrobe choices to the pros.
Worst Dressed: Geena Davis, 1992
Nominated for her kick-ass role in Thelma and Louise, Geena showed up at the Oscars in a dress that looked like a compilation of parts from a can-can costume, a wedding dress, and a cotillion gown. Those black stockings didn't do very much for the leggy actress either.
Worst Dressed: Lizzy Gardiner, 1995
It's a dress made of American Express Gold cards. We're not sure what else to say about this one, except that the obvious lesson is this: For the love of God, do not design your own dress for the red carpet.
Worst Dressed: Bjork, 2001
Between the nude-colored bodysuit, the bejeweled tights, and umm...the fake swan wrapped around her neck, we're not sure if Bjork should be swimming in the lake or skating on the ice.
Worst Dressed: Gwyneth Paltrow, 2002
The see-through vest made Gwyneth's breasts look flat, the shapeless skirt made her waist disappear, and the ruched material just made everything look sloppily bunched up. She insisted that she loved the dress, but we know better.
Worst Dressed: Hilary Swank, 2003
It looks like Hilary thought her pale pink mini dress wasn't up to the occasion, so she looked around until — aha! — she found a piece of hot pink gauze to wrap around herself. The Jimmy Choos are pretty sexy, though.
Worst Dressed: Uma Thurman, 2004
Is Uma wearing a backpack? A backpack that she's filled with grass for the cows she's going to the Swiss Alps to feed? This frumpy dress totally hides her beautiful figure and never-ending legs. Not to mention that it looks like a Halloween costume.
Worst Dressed: Charlize Theron, 2006
There's just way too much going on here. It seems as though a handful of fabric strips were randomly tacked onto the bodice of the dress at the last minute for no logical reason. And the cherry on top? That gigantic and ill-placed bow on her left shoulder. Yikes.
Worst Dressed: Tilda Swinton, 2008
Someone please save Tilda from the black velvet garbage bags holding her body hostage. She posed like this all night long, and you probably thought it was to show off that bit of bling on her wrist. But really, she was trying to find the zipper once she saw everyone's faces.
Worst Dressed: Marion Cotillard, 2009
Usually were blown away when a celeb wears couture dress a from a runway show on the red carpet, but Marions Christian Dior gown was a mash-up of trends sequins, tulle, high-waisted belt that overpowered the svelte actress.
Worst Dressed: Georgina Chapman, 2010
The fashion designer seemed to have mistaken the Oscars for a bring-your-own-disco-bling New Year's theme party.
Best Dressed: Kate Winslet, 2002
This dress is ultra-flattering on Kate, and it's a great color for her very fair skin and strawberry blond hair. The flowery, embroidered strap is a pretty detail that makes this simple gown fit for the red carpet.
Best Dressed: Halle Berry, 2002
Probably one of the best-known Oscar dresses of all time, it shows off Halle's best parts, while the strategic embroidering still leaves something to the imagination. There's a lot of material on the bottom half, but it doesn't swallow her up or hide the shape of her legs.
Best Dressed: Angelina Jolie, 2004
Angie's one of very few people who can rock this material and this color — both being mercilessly unforgiving. But the dress drapes on her curves and shows off her assets in all the right ways.
Best Dressed: Cate Blanchett, 2005
In this yellow silk taffeta gown created especially for her by Valentino, Cate looks like a classic Hollywood starlet. The one-shoulder strap and contrasting belt are great details, and the color is perfect for her milk-white skin.
Best Dressed: Hilary Swank, 2005
Making a serious comeback from that pink gauze number two years before, Hilary shows off her flawless back in this stunning sapphire gown by Guy Laroche. Appropriately, this is the year she won the Oscar for Best Actress in Million Dollar Baby, because that's exactly what she looks like in this dress.
Best Dressed: Keira Knightley, 2006
Keira looks super-graceful in this eggplant taffeta gown custom-made by Vera Wang. The multicolored Bulgari necklace adds even more elegance to an already sophisticated look. Keira donated this dress to Oxfam International for an auction, and it raised $7,900, which went toward the food crisis in East Africa.
Best Dressed: Michelle Williams, 2006
Coupled with the bright red lips and wispy hair, Michelle's saffron Vera Wang dress makes her look like she's straight out of an old Hollywood film. The cut makes her body look amazing, especially considering that she had given birth to Matilda just three months before.
Best Dressed: Helen Mirren, 2007
Helen looks freakin' foxy in this nude-colored Christian Lacroix with detailed beading and lace. The skirt is flowy and romantic, and really shows off her incredible waistline.
Best Dressed: Cate Blanchett, 2007
Cate makes the list twice because of her consistently impeccable style. This one-shouldered gunmetal gown clings to her fabulous body like it was painted on, and the delicate and elegant hair and makeup complete the look without distracting us from the dress.
Best Dressed: Penélope Cruz, 2007
Penélope ruffled a lot of feathers — pun intended — with this dress. People either loved it or hated it big-time. We're signing up for the first group. It's a gorgeous color, fit her perfectly, and was a bold choice that she gets major points for pulling off.
Best Dressed: Katherine Heigl, 2008
From the blond curls and red lips down to the train of her Escada goddess gown, Katherines Old Hollywood style finalized her reputation as a sex bomb. We love the way she looked totally relaxed in the dress, as if shed been wearing it to lounge around in all day and just happened to show up at the Academy Awards.
Best Dressed: Anne Hathaway, 2009
Within seconds of seeing Anne glisten in a jewel-encrusted mermaid dress by Giorgio Armani we knew shed make headlines as Best Dressed even though she didnt take home an Oscar for best actress.
Best Dressed: Kristen Stewart, 2010
The Twilight star looked more old Hollywood than red-carpet newbie in a navy trumpet gown that showed off her svelte body and porcelain skin.

Theology (TH)
Introduction to Islamic Theology* (TH-553)
View Syllabus
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:40-9:30 p.m. starting September 6 (12 weeks)
This course explores the content and structure of Islamic belief, as elaborated by Muslim classical thinkers (7th-15th centuries), in relation to a selection of representative texts. The Introduction questions the nature and modalities of theology in Islam. History studies the origins and growth of the science of Kalâm in its interaction with the other major religious disciplines of Sunnism -- exegesis, Prophetic tradition, jurisprudence, sects, Sufism and philosophy (falsafa). The Creed is then analyzed more theoretically in its major components: the lordship and divinity of God, the mediation of the Messenger, the servitude and ethics of the believers. Society offers a last avenue for enquiry, in so far as it was shaped by particular theological doctrines. The Way/Law (sharî'a), power, love, innovation, and alterity -- religious or other -- are among the topics envisaged. No knowledge of Arabic is required for this course.

Twenty of the tiny fish were donated to the ECO Center and are on display in a small tank where they can't be gobbled up by the larger fish in the main aquarium.
The Conasauga logperch, which grows to about five inches in length, is found in a stretch of less than 30 miles of the Conasauga River in the Cohutta Wilderness of extreme Northwest Georgia. The fish is considered to be extremely vulnerable to eradication, since it is found in such a small segment of a single stream.
Conservation Fisheries Inc., an environmental group based in Knoxville, Tenn., tried a captive breeding program a decade ago but it was unsuccessful, for reasons that were not clear to the fisheries' biologists.
Nine years later, the same researchers worked closely with the Tennessee Aquarium and Univ. of Tennessee-Chattanooga, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Forest Service and were able to produce 700 of the fish in a hatchery type setting. The fish that were sent to the ECO Center were among those captive-bred fish.
Ben Winkelman, an ECO Center employee, said the river museum is working with the Tennessee Aquarium on the project.
"With the Conasauga being part of the Coosa River Basin, we were very excited to take advantage of the opportunity to display the fish," Winkelman said.
Winkelman indicated he hopes one day the Rome facility would become a part of a research project that would help re-populate the species in the event of a major pollution disaster — which could wipe out the species, since their natural habitat is in such a small area.
The Conasauga is fertile ground for endangered species. It ranks fourth among U.S. waterways as home to the largest number of threatened fish, snails and mussels.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted in 2007 that the global average sea level would rise between 7 and 23 inches by the end of this century. More recent projections suggest that the melting of Arctic sea ice could mean a rise in excess of 30 inches. The New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force translated that into a local projection of 2 to 5 inches by the 2020s, and with rapid ice melt, the rise could be as much as 5 to 10 inches over the next 15 years.
New York dodged a bullet by inches last year as the remnants of Hurricane Irene bore down.
As Ben Orlove, director of the master's program in climate and society at Columbia University, wrote on CNN.com: "Irene also arrived at a time of especially high tides, and its storm surge came within inches of flooding the sea wall. Storms and tides are natural, but sea level rise is not. As it continues, New York grows more vulnerable."
Princeton's Oppenheimer, a professor of geosciences, recently modeled the effect of climate change on storm surges for the New York area.
In a paper published by Nature in February, he and three colleagues concluded that the "storm of the century" would become the storm of "every twenty years or less."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo agrees.
"After what happened, what has been happening in the last few years, I don't think anyone can sit back anymore and say 'Well, I'm shocked at that weather pattern,' " Cuomo said Tuesday.
The conclusion of Oppenheimer and his colleagues is that storms will become larger and more powerful.
"Climate change will probably increase storm intensity and size simultaneously, resulting in a significant intensification of storm surges," they wrote. Sandy's diameter measured much larger than most storms.
A study of the New York area in 2010 led by Guy Nordenson, an architect and structural engineer whose offices are in Lower Manhattan, concluded: "There is a prevalent risk that the city will be severely paralyzed due to the predicted inundation and wave action associated with storm surge."

Just to add if you mean the email you used to setup with your Lumia device i.e your live ID account then the only way to change this is to reset the device.
Please note that you should back up your data before doing the reset as it will wipe the phone memory. Synchronise your media files to Zune, other data to SkyDrive and contacts and calendar to the Windows Live account. Please be aware that you cannot synchronise text messages. You can reset the phone by going Settings > About > Reset your phone.
