Well yoga is not prayer. Its just a set of exercises, like jogging or running or swimming. And surya namaskar is not a prayer too. It is a set of exercises too and is just a tribute to the sun, not the sun god, or surya dev. It relaxes the body and the mind. And well even if it was a prayer (which, believe me, is not) what harm would it do? Paying respect to other gods or praying to them will not belittle islam. Will it??

i agree about the whole its okay to do yoga because its excersise but you cant pray to other gods that would be shirk God is one not many and we do not respect the other Gods because they arent real gods they deserve no respect we only respect them if people pray to them even though they do not asked to be worshiped like Jesus

Jesus is not a god , but I understand the respect part we should always repect Prophets.
(Feb 25 '12 at 18:55) Al Ummat ♦
i know that but people worship him as if he is that is why we respect him because he did not choose to be worshiped
(Feb 25 '12 at 19:02) NesreenA ♦
yes of course , but we also repect him because he is the Prophet of Allah.
(Feb 25 '12 at 19:04) Al Ummat ♦
I do not see any reason why a Muslim cannot do asans!! Its just a set of exercises. Exercises have nothing to do with religion!! Muslims do go to gym and practice martial arts, don't they?
muslims 5 times prayer (namaz) its beter than yoga in yoga ther is so much asans one of is surya namaskar we dont pray to sun
I think yoga is forbidden in islam.i will search for it will definitly give you some authentic reasons from reliable source inshallah
answered Feb 14 '12 at 13:17 afshaan 5●1●4
my view, yoga may be from our salath position our own art of prayer converted by man. fro adam(als) to till today man under guidance from iblees(saitan) he is changing or remodifying and rewriting everything except holy quran.

Mollify yourself yoga is forbidden nisar is right why are you giving respect to other gods,they are not real being a muslim you are believing gods which donot exist we can relax our mind by other ways too its not important that you need to do yoga namaz can also relax us
as salam alaikuum:yoga/ like chanting can be beneficial If Allah will<but if they don't get you into practicing righteousness and back on the path of Allah its waste of time;saying dhikir 1000times refreshes the iman and keeps the soul more focused to the belief there is no God but Allah and Allah has no offspring nor associates.You can have longevity and lots of intelligence ,but if you don,t have the object of life you don,t have your clothing of righteousness and those great dazzling addresses and orative teachings were nothing but cild's play compared to concentrating on Allah and having a sound haert when you get to the LIFE AFTER DEATH.BASIR HAKIM

no such thing !sir or miss the worship sanctity and reverence is for Allah Lord of this world and Lord of every world.unlike the political character assassinators of my people her in America,I concentrate on my Lord other than some lost deaf dumb blind feeble offspring of the first man and woman created by our Lord Allah.Futile wandering in their minds and seeking greatness is in their hearts not really having sound understanding about the supreme achievemnet in this world.Don't ask such questions about other's in their pursuit of folly and the glitter and show in this world .Allah has the Most Mercy and is their rightful creator and they will get theirs on the Day of Judgement.Salam to masajids of the world .patience,perseverance,and seek the the tilth of the hereafter-ALHAMDULILAH FOR THE HOLY PROPHET AND LAST MESSENGER OF ALLAH ,STAY TAQWAHD UP MY HELP ,FAITH,HEALTH AND SOOTHING MERCY IS FROM ALLAH .BASIR HAKIM MASJID MUMINUUN MEMPHO,TN.
its not wasting time if you think of allah while you are doing it it relaxes the mind just enough so you may think about these important things in life a session is like 10 minutes we should rid of stuff like tv (unless its the islamic channels) you can have fun and relax as long as you only do halal stuff and think of allah the whole time by which i mean say allhamdu lilalah or remember whatever you are doing he sees you etc. you can even sabah while your doing it.

Ted Ginn Jr. - #19 - WR
|5' 11"/ 180 lbs.
|Cleveland, OH
|Ohio State
|Years played
|2007, 1st round, 9th pick by Dolphins
Verdict out on Niners rookie James
Is Niners No. 2 draft pick LaMichael James considered the hands-down heir apparent to Frank Gore? Not so fast, our team insiders tell us.
49ers re-sign Ginn to one-year deal
The 49ers have re-signed WR Ted Ginn Jr. to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not announced.
Tolbert among UFAs who could prove solid values
The Packers re-signed TE Jermichael Finley to a reasonable deal. What other UFAs have a chance to be good value signings? Mike Wilkening explores.
Shorts and Shells: Conference championship edition
Joe Flacco stood tall in the Ravens' AFC title-game loss; special teams are the difference in Niners-Giants; Vince Wilfork's monster game; and more.
Ginn among Giants-49ers inactives
The Giants and 49ers have announced their inactives for the NFC Championship game.
Niners have glaring need for decent No. 2 WR
Although Michael Crabtree has done a good job as the Niners' No. 1 wideout, the team hasn't had much success at the No. 2 WR spot.
Week One Players of the Week
This week, PFW selects Aaron Rodgers, Brian Urlacher and Ted Ginn, Jr. as its Players of the Week.
Ginn injury further weakens 49ers' kick-return game
A knee injury to Ted Ginn Jr. and the continuing rehab by rookie Kyle Williams have left San Francisco's kick-return unit as problematic as it was last season, according to NFC West Whispers.
49ers WR Ginn to miss at least two weeks
49ers WR Ted Ginn Jr. sprained his MCL in the team's season-opening loss to the Seahawks last Sunday and will likely be out at least two weeks.
Browns NT Rubin impresses Mangini
Third-year NT Ahtyba Rubin will be a key part of the Browns' defensive line this year, according to "Whispers," as he displays good technique and block recognition in training camp.
Niners newcomer Ginn looking like good catch
Ted Ginn Jr. was obtained from Miami primarily to upgrade the Niners' woeful kick-return game. But a lot more attention is being paid early in training camp to Ginn's impressive work as a receiver.
Bucs playing hardball with OLT Penn
Tampa Bay has threatened to reduce its tender offer to unsigned OLT Donald Penn, but, according to "Whispers," the team doesn't have a suitable replacement for him on its roster.
Niners look for big return on Ginn investment
We hear newly acquired Ted Ginn Jr., who was much more effective as a return specialist with the Dolphins than he was as a receiver, will be given every opportunity to return both kickoffs and punts with his new team.
Dolphins trade Ginn to Niners
After never getting much of a return on their investment in WR Ted Ginn, the Dolphins traded their 2007 first-round draft pick (ninth overall) Friday to the Niners in exchange for a fifth-round pick (145th overall) in the 2010 draft.
The Panthers have signed Ginn from the San Francisco 49ers. Carolina announced Friday that Ginn signed a one-year deal.||||||| Carolina coach Ron Rivera says Ginn is "an explosive player who could help us both on offense and in the return game." The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Ginn played six seasons in the NFL as a receiver and return specialist, the last three with the 49ers. In 2012, Ginn played in 13 games and averaged 10.2 yards per return and 23 yards per kickoff return. He caught just two passes for 1 yard.
Ginn is active for Sunday's game against the Jets.||||||| Ginn has been bothered by a right ankle injury and had said earlier in the week that he hoped to play Sunday.
Ted Ginn Jr. is out of the NFC championship game for San Francisco with an injured right knee.||||||| Ginn hurt his knee last week against New Orleans and did not practice all week leading up to Sunday's game against the New York Giants. He normally starts at receiver and returns kicks and punts. Kyle Williams is listed as the starter in his place.
The San Francisco 49ers were are without two wide receivers for the regular season finale, with wide receiver and return man Ted Ginn Jr. sidelined by an ankle injury and Kyle Williams out with a concussion.||||||| Neither practiced all week. Brett Swain, who entered Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams with one reception, starts for Ginn.
Ginn had four catches for 38 yards in an improbable 27-24 OT loss to Dallas on Sunday.||||||| Believe it or not, he caught the most balls for a 49ers passing attack that is inept at best.

Smith, Johanns say they need to see details of proposed immigration reform
Third District Congressman Adrian Smith and Nebraska's senior U.S. Senator Mike Johanns say it is too early for them to take a position on immigration reform proposed by a group of eight senators.
The group Monday unveiled proposals to secure the border, allow more guest workers, require tougher verification measures by employers and create a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country.
Smith was in Scottsbluff Monday and says he is leery of the final proposal that would allow illegal immigrants to gain the same status as his forefathers who entered the country through Ellis Island.
Johanns anything but the present system would be an improvement, but says he needs to review the specifics of the plan.
President Barack Obama will lay out his own vision Tuesday -- and it's expected to overlap with the Senate effort.

Steel Dynamics sees 4c per share loss in Q3 on Minnesota operations
Steel Dynamics said the impact of anticipated losses from the company's Minnesota operations for Q3 is expected to be approximately 4c per diluted share, similar to the impact in Q2. Production rates and plant availability continue to improve and are meeting current expectations, the company said. Steel Dynamics also said the automotive and manufacturing markets remain strong, and the residential construction market continues to show signs of improvement, positivity impacting demand for the company's painted and Galvalume sheet products. Metals recycling financial results are expected to be lower for Q3 when compared to Q2, as anticipated increases in ferrous and nonferrous shipments are expected to be more than offset by decreased ferrous margin.

U.S. Steel gains after Credit Suisse upgrades on pricing outlook
Shares of U.S. Steel (X) are climbing after Credit Suisse upgraded the stock by two notches, saying that the company should benefit from an improved pricing environment and raw material cost advantages. WHAT'S NEW: An increase in U.S. demand for steel, along with tariffs that have been imposed on foreign steel producers and the possibility that additional tariffs will be imposed, are keeping U.S. steel prices far higher than previously anticipated, Credit Suisse analyst Nathan Littlewood wrote in a note to investors earlier today. Additionally, production at a number of American steel mills has been curtailed, the analyst stated. Moreover, U.S. Steel can obtain raw materials relatively cheaply, enabling it to produce some of the lowest cost steel in North America, Littlewood stated. U.S. Steel should become one of the most profitable steel makers in the world, according to Littlewood, who upgraded his rating on the shares to Outperform from Underperform and hiked his price target on the stock to $50 from $25. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Littlewood downgraded his rating on another name in the sector, Steel Dynamics (STLD), to Neutral from Outperform. Although the company has a high quality business, the recent outperformance by the stock caused the analyst to downgrade the name. Littlewood kept a $23 price target on the shares. On Friday, UBS wrote that the threat of new tariffs on imported steel could prevent U.S. steel prices from dropping significantly. The filing of requests for additional tariffs on foreign steel, or even the threat of such filings, could keep steel prices from declining in the short-term, the firm predicted. UBS upgraded AK Steel (AKS) to Neutral from Sell, while raising its price target on Nucor (NUE) to $11 from $6 and keeping a Buy rating on that stock. The firm raised its price target on U.S. Steel to $38 from $28 but kept a Neutral rating on the shares. PRICE ACTION: In late morning trading, U.S. Steel advanced 2.6% to $38.81, Steel Dynamics lost 0.3% to $23.24, AK Steel gained 2% to $10.89, and Nucor climbed 1% to $54.23.

Officials at Vanderbilt University Medical Center now say at least 19 Middle Tennesseans have died from the flu.
"We're in the middle of influenza season this year and we've already exceeded last year's total," said Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the department of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University. "So we're clearly on the severe end of the spectrum and what's disturbing to us is that this flu strain seems to attack, seems to like younger adults and children."
The number is far greater than the 11 deaths reported last year in the 7-county Middle Tennessee area, and there are still two months left in the flu season.
This year's flu strain has also led to at least 493 hospitalizations compared to 437 last year.
Dr. Schaffner told News 2 most of the victims of this year's influenza strain were treated for pneumonia.
"Influenza can certainly harm people who are old and frail, but it can also take a perfectly healthy person and put them in the hospital in 48 hours," said Schaffner. "The deaths take a little longer than the acute cases, so as we go along throughout the flu season I'm afraid we will accumulate people who've been victimized."
Doctors say it is still not too late to get a flu shot.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that most people over the age of 6 months get a flu shot.
While most county health departments have run out of the vaccine because they offered it for free in recent weeks, the shot is still available at doctor's offices and area pharmacies.
Tennessee's peak flu months are usually January and February, even though flu season can stretch from late fall to spring.

Crews responded to a suspicious house fire on Nevada Street in east Toledo Wednesday morning around 8 a.m.
Neighbor Nancy Myers called 911 for help, and stood by to keep an eye on things, hoping the fire wouldn't spread any further.
"It seemed like a long time, but really it wasn't. It was just the excitement I had in me that made me nervous. I was wanting them to be there right away," said Myers.
The house is vacant and was on fire in the summer of 2012, as well. This time, the house was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived and has been destroyed. The fire re-ignited several times while crews were there.
The owner says he was getting ready to remodel the house after last summer's fire.
Neighbors say the scene was all too familiar.
"It just seemed to keep going and going and going. And I called my son - because we know the owner - and said, 'Wayne's house is on fire AGAIN!'" said neighbor Rosemary Boisselle.
Officials from the Toledo Fire Department say arsons in the city go in spurts. Still, neighbors say the possibility of another house going up in flames doesn't sit well with them.
"You never know if another one is going to go up. It's bad for the neighborhood," said Myers.
Fire investigators are working to determine a cause but believe it is another case of arson. They say the building is a total loss and the city will tear it down.

In other words does it make a difference in the event that a recipe calls for a Red wine you use a Merlot, Cabernet, Shiraz ect..?
Yes. If you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it.
Whatever it tastes like out of the bottle, it will add that to the dish. Cook with a wine you might pair with the dish (light wines for seafood, chicken; heavier wines for meats and stews).
Don't use a fruity wine unless you want your dish to have some fruit notes. Don't use a very dry wine if you're making a sweeter dish.
As a corollary to the excellent advice from Aaronut, there is an important rule of thumb when selecting a wine to cook with:
If you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it.
It absolutely does matter, as all of the different varietals have their own very distinctive tastes. However, there's not really any "correct" wine to use when you see a recipe requesting it.
Probably the most common ones (where I'm from) are Cabernet Sauvignon for red and Chardonnay for white, but those are definitely not the only kinds you can use, and it depends entirely on the recipe and your personal preferences.
If it's going into a strong/spicy sauce where the taste of the wine will be overshadowed by the other ingredients anyway, then I'll often use any inexpensive wine I have lying around. But if it's something like a wine sauce, or a reduction, then you should essentially treat it as a wine pairing; look up what varietal pairs well with the food you're making and use that in your sauce.
I tend to disagree a little bit on this. Cooking removes almost all of the subtlety from a wine, especially long cooking like in a reduction-based sauce. I'd like to see a double-blind taste of several reduced red varietals to see if you could tell much of a difference.
Avoid excessive oakiness.
Other than that, find a decent, cheap somewhat drinkable blend (one white, one red), and buy a couple 1.5 litre bottles of each. and keep them on hand for cooking.
I'm wiki-ing this answer so feel free to add any brands you've found good for this purpose.
Yes, use wine that you would happily drink.
But there's usually no need to empty a bottle of fine Barolo, or Gevrey Chambertin, into the pan. A good young red wine is usually good enough and all the wines you use should be bought for drinking, rather than for cooking.
What wine colour you use should tip you off about the wine colour to serve with it, so helpfully you have whats left in the bottle after culinary use, to drink while cooking or afterwards.

Although the injury to Curtis Granderson should not be understated, his loss for potentially the first quarter of the season is not as bad as it seems due to several moves the Yankees will make to help minimize the loss. The first one is obvious and already in motion, as Brett Gardner will replace Granderson in centerfield. Granderson was below average in center. Depending on the quality of the new left fielder, the move may save a run or two over the first forty games.
The new replacement is going to be moved down the lineup, as opposed to the fifth spot that Granderson occupied in the first exhibition game. Moving his replacement down to eighth in the lineup takes about 15 plate appearances away from Granderson's poor-hitting replacement and gives them to better hitters. If you figure Granderson would have had about 160 plate appearances, you have already removed about ten percent from his replacement. This cascading effect will not work quite as well as it did a year ago when the Yankee bullpen replaced Mariano Rivera because the eighth place hitter is still going to get up to the plate four times a game.
A final consideration that does not even require a move on the Yankees part deals with Granderson's ability to hit left-handers. Although he has had some success against lefties in the past, in 240 PA against them last year Granderson hit .218/.304/.458. Granderson's replacement might not be as good, but he should at least be able to duplicate those stats against lefties.
Instead of replacing 160 quality plate appearances, we moved quickly to 145 with a lineup change, and after removing another third of the plate appearances against lefties, we are left with only 96 quality plate appearances lost to the injury. Out of more than 6,000 Yankee plate appearances this year, the injury is far from breaking the season. If that does not cheer you up, keep in mind the Mets starting outfield is projected as Lucas Duda, Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Mike Baxter, and they do not have any injuries.

(UPDATE 12:32 AM)- While the NHL has yet to release it's full schedule, reports suggest the Ottawa Senators will open their season on Saturday, January 19th in Winnipeg. The game against the Jets is expected to begin at 1:30 PM. Let the countdown begin!
Yesterday we talked about defence and how it will be a focal point for the Senators early in a shortened season.
Today we shift the focus to the forward group which is a little more predictable, assuming everyone can stay healthy in the early going. The top six forwards are all but decided and a number of veterans will be expected to come into camp and earn the remaining roster spots.
During a discussion on the Team 1200, Paul MacLean indicated that Jakob Silfverberg will start the season on a line with Spezza and Michalek. That trio could change in a hurry but it's clear the coach is hoping to find some chemistry with that trio. All three have been playing during the lockout and should be able to hit the ground running when the season opens up next weekend.
That leaves a second line of Latendresse, Turris and Alfredsson. Sens fans have yet to see Guillaume Latendresse in action but the hope is he can add some consistent secondary scoring. He'll be given every opportunity to do that in the early going skating with Turris and Alfredsson, a duo that had great chemistry at the end of last season.
In the bottom six, there is a little more room for flexibility. You'll have Peter Regin, Zack Smith, Colin Greening, Jim O'Brien, Erik Condra, Chris Neil, and Kaspars Daugavins battling for the remaining six spots. You would think the team carries at least 13 forwards to start.
A total of 15 forwards will get invites with Mike Hoffman and Mark Stone expected to round out the list.
While the forward group appears mostly settled on paper, injuries should be expected in the first couple weeks of the season. With an abbreviated camp and no exhibition games, you can guarantee there will be a steady stream of guys coming up from Bingo.
What do you expect from the Sens up front? Would you change anything in the top six? How do you think the bottom six shakes out?

Layoffs at Horace Mann show how low SFUSD's proposed budget is willing to go
By Brady Welch
Horace Mann Middle School principal Mark Sanchez sounded exhausted when we reached him on March 26. It wasn't because Horace Mann is such a tough school, although the Mission District campus does have a disproportionate number of at-risk students. And it wasn't because it was the Friday before spring break, although that might have had something to do with it.
All week Sanchez had been reeling from news that a whopping 10 out of his 20 full-time teachers had been issued pink slips by the San Francisco Unified School District. Including counselors, a vice principal, and other staff, the budget cuts essentially lopped off 24.6 percent of the school's workforce, an unprecedented blow that speaks volumes about the state of California public education.
"A lot of the kids were wondering if the school was getting shut down," Sanchez said. And although Horace Mann isn't closing, with so many axed teachers, it might seem like a new school to many students come August. "If a significant number [of teachers] are moved, we don't know what we're in for."
There is a legend that you will meet the person who will seal your fate long before the final event happens. And in an interesting turn of events, it was Sanchez who, as president of the Board of Education in 2007, hired current SFUSD Superintendent Carlos Garcia. Attempting to close a staggering $113 million budget gap over the next two years, it fell to Garcia on Feb. 23 to send out 645 layoff notices across the district in a list that included 163 administrators, 239 elementary school teachers, 124 high school teachers, and 104 middles school positions. Horace Mann was hit particularly hard because so many of its staff lacked seniority. Final decisions on layoffs will be made next month by the school board.
The first indications of this massive fiscal blood-letting came Jan. 20, when Garcia sent a letter to the entire district on learning of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's budget. The document was a glaring reminder of how bad things had gotten in Sacramento, and the superintendent wrote candidly of what he saw and what it meant for the district. "These numbers are large, and they will be devastating."
Aside from the extraordinary blow to personnel, the proposed SFUSD budget will increase class sizes, freeze salaries, cancel summer school except for those who need credits to graduate, and reduce the number of days of classroom instruction to 175 annually, putting the district in conflict with a state law mandating at least 180 days. Given its deep cuts, Sacramento probably won't enforce the statute.
"The state itself is in such a budget crisis," Sanchez told us. "And [it's] refusing to raise taxes. The fix has to be at the state level."
But that's been difficult since the passage of Proposition 13, the 1978 measure that limits property tax increases and gives control of whatever revenue is generated directly to the state. Because all state budgets must pass the Legislature with a two-thirds super-majority vote, a disciplined minority of virulently antitax Republicans block budgets that adequately fund education nearly every time.
Yet now, the bill for that political stalemate is coming due at schools like Horace Mann.
Beyond the numbers and politics, the Guardian wanted to get a closer look at how this regular cycle of cuts and layoffs is affecting teachers and students, so we spoke to a couple of eighth grade English teachers at Horace Mann who described it as dismal.
I think it's important to draw attention to the fact that the schools suffering under the brunt of the layoff notices - 811 teacher notices were sent out in SFUSD - are on the southeast side. Schools with higher percentages of underserved, high-needs students will lose more teachers. At the top of the list are the identified "hard to staff" schools, which will remain "hard to staff" until SFUSD and California decide that teacher retention is worth more than lip service.
As always, it is the poor and children of color who will suffer the most.
There is a leadership crisis in Sacramento. Why did the governor allow the budget crisis to happen in the first place?
The teachers' union, UESF, is the reason layoffs have to be based on seniority, and the reason the lowest performing schools on the east side of the city are being wiped out. These are the schools that need stability the most - and they are being hit the hardest. It is terrible that the school district has to do layoffs at all, but the fact that they also have no control in who they layoff is unconscionable. It is criminal that UESF is still insisting on seniority-based layoffs. In no other profession are employees protected from accountability the way teachers are.
Mr. Welch's reporting of the tragic state of the California public education system was both intelligent and insiteful. Knowing something of the writer's background, his reporting on the topic was probably reminiscent of the struggles faced in South Carolina and that underfunded public education system; where the writer himself was educated.
Kudos to those educators everywhere who, in spite of all political manuvering, remain dedicated to their profession, and continue to teach & inspire all of us.

Aeolis Mons
The rover Curiosity landed on August 6, 2012 near the base of Aeolis Mons (or "Mount Sharp").

Aeolis Mons (IPA: [ˈiːəlɨs ˈmɒnz]), also unofficially known as Mount Sharp, is a mountain on Mars. It forms the central peak within Gale crater and is located around 5°05′S 137°51′E / 5.08°S 137.85°E, rising 5.5 km (18,000 ft) high from the valley floor. It is feature ID 15000.[2]
Curiosity (the Mars Science Laboratory rover) landed in "Yellowknife" Quad 51[3][4][5][6] of Aeolis Palus,[7] next to the mountain, on August 6, 2012. NASA named the landing site Bradbury Landing on August 22, 2012.[8] Aeolis Mons is a primary goal for scientific study.[9] On June 5, 2013, NASA announced that Curiosity will soon begin a 8 km (5.0 mi) journey from the Glenelg area to the base of Aeolis Mons. On November 13, 2013, NASA announced that an entryway Curiosity will traverse on its way to Aeolis Mons will be named "Murray Buttes", in honor of planetary scientist Bruce C. Murray (1931-2013).[10] The trip is expected to take nine months to a year with stops along the way to study the local terrain.[11][12][13]
The mountain appears to be an enormous mound of eroded sedimentary layers sitting on the central peak of Gale. It rises 5.5 km (18,000 ft) above the northern crater floor and 4.5 km (15,000 ft) above the southern crater floor, higher than the southern crater rim. The sediments may have been laid down over an interval of 2 billion years,[14] and may have once completely filled the crater. Some of the lower sediment layers may have originally been deposited on a lake bed,[14] while observations of possibly cross-bedded strata in the upper mound suggest aeolian processes.[15] However, this issue is debated,[16][17] and the origin of the lower layers remains unclear.[15] If katabatic wind deposition played the predominant role in the emplacement of the sediments, as suggested by reported 3 degree radial slopes of the mound's layers, erosion would have come into play largely to place an upper limit on the mound's growth.[18][19]
Understanding size[edit]

Aeolis Mons is 5.5 km (18,000 ft) high, about the same height as Mons Huygens, the tallest lunar mountain, and taller than Mons Hadley visited by Apollo 15.
Mount Everest rises to 8.8 km (29,000 ft) altitude above sea level but is only 4.6 km (15,000 ft) (base-to-peak).[21] Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro is about 5.9 km (19,000 ft) altitude above sea level to the Uhuru peak;[22] also 4.6 km base-to-peak.[23] America's Mt. McKinley, also known as Denali, has a base-to-peak of 5.5 km (18,000 ft).[24] The Franco-Italian Mont Blanc/Monte Bianco is 4.8 km (16,000 ft) in altitude above sea level,[25][26] Mount Fuji (富士山), which overlooks Tokyo, Japan is about 3.8 km (12,000 ft) altitude. Compared to the Andes, Aeolis Mons would rank outside the hundred tallest peaks, being roughly the same height as Argentina's Cerro Pajonal; the peak is higher than any above sea level in Oceania above sea level, but base-to peak it is considerably shorter than Hawaii's Mauna Kea and its neighbors.
Discovered in the 1970s, the mountain remained nameless for perhaps 40 years. When it became a likely landing site, it was given various labels; for example, in 2010 a NASA photo caption called it "Gale crater mound".[27] In March 2012, NASA unofficially named it "Mount Sharp", for American geologist Robert P. Sharp.[1][28]
The International Astronomical Union, which is responsible for planetary nomenclature for its participants, names large Martian mountains after the Classical albedo feature in which it is located, not for people. In May 2012 the IAU thus named the mountain Aeolis Mons, and gave the name Aeolis Palus to the crater floor plain between the northern wall of Gale and the northern foothills of the mountain.[1][29][30][31] In recognition of NASA and in honour of Sharp, the IAU gave the name "Robert Sharp" to a large crater (150 km (93 mi) in diameter), located about 260 km (160 mi) west of Gale, following its standard practice of naming large craters after scientists.
NASA and the ESA[32] continue to refer to the mountain as "Mount Sharp" in press conferences and press releases. This is similar to other informal names, such as the Columbia Hills near one of the Mars Exploration Rover landing sites. Sky & Telescope explained the rationales of the two names to their readers in August 2012, and held an informal poll to newsletter readers. Over 2700 voted and picked Aeolis Mons over Mount Sharp by 57% to 43%.[28] The official name, "Aeolis Mons", is recorded by the United States Geological Survey.[30]

This is among the messages we woke up to Friday:
To answer some questions: I think there is a better chance than not that Pineda is in rotation, but it is not certain yet.— Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) March 30, 2012
When the Yankees traded for Michael Pineda, they figured he could be effective right away. He showed up to camp overweight and had yet to reach the velocity he reached in 2011. His spring training hadn't been a disaster, but it'd been questionable, and people were wondering if he might be ticketed for triple-A.
If Pineda began Friday with decent odds of breaking camp in the Yankees' rotation, those odds aren't so decent anymore. Friday night he started against the Phillies, and here's his last pitch:
The missed location, the body language, the result ... Pineda retired eight batters. He allowed seven hits, three walks, and six runs, while striking out two. His fastball reportedly topped out at 94, but mostly sat in the same 89-92 range it's been occupying all month. His changeup and slider were said to be okay, but Pineda works off of his fastball, and his fastball now isn't what it was.
Pineda's job is very much in jeopardy. For all I know right now, Friday might've been his last chance. A report from the ballpark:
Scout in stands thinks Pineda may be costing himself velocity because of his mechanics. Arm slot is off, he says.— Marc Carig (@MarcCarig) March 30, 2012
The Yankees could choose to believe that Pineda will get things straightened out when the games are meaningful. They could believe that he's still working himself into game shape. But the Yankees could also decide that Pineda's a little messed up, and in need of some tweaking that isn't best done in the major leagues. There's less pressure in the minors, and more freedom to try things out without worrying so much about the score.
The Yankees didn't think they'd have an interesting decision to make with regard to Michael Pineda. They've got one. As noted before, if Pineda goes to the minors for a few weeks before coming back up, the Yankees will gain a year of team control. That's a plus. But the Yankees probably aren't thinking about 2017 Michael Pineda so much as they're thinking about 2012 Michael Pineda, because 2012 Michael Pineda doesn't look right.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Application
The Interview
Acceptance and Preparation
The Application
Students with less than a 9.0 cumulative GPA are advised to strengthen their academic record before applying.
While junior year is the preferred time to participate, we understand that other commitments may require that you intern during your sophomore year. If recent trends continue, we receive more applications for interning in Washington during fall than spring semester which is good news for strong sophomore applicants looking into a spring semester internship in DC. Second semester sophomores who demonstrate a solid background in previous government courses, maturity, initiative, and ability to thrive in the rigorous program environment will make strong candidates.
Up to 18 students are accepted each semester and applications are reviewed on their individual merits.
Yes! You should meet with members of the selection committee to discuss how to strengthen your application. Occasionally, the selection committee believes that a student is applying too early in his or her academic career and the applicant is advised to reapply. Student who have done so in the past have fared very well.
You must declare a major before permission to study off-campus will be granted.
Yes!!! Your resume is the most important piece when applying to an internship in D.C. A badly prepared resume is the surest way to show that you are not ready to work in D.C., no matter what experience you may already have.
It is required that you complete this course before application. You need to have a background in government/politics to be prepared to spend a semester working as an intern in Washington. Therefore, we suggest you defer applying for one semester and in addition, we strongly recommend that you enroll in a course on Congress or other advanced government course.
More than likely yes, but you just showed us that you have trouble meeting deadlines and we will take this into consideration when we review your application.
The Interview
You will receive an email a couple of days after the deadline date. The interviews are based on the scheduling form from the application, so fill it out carefully. Please acknowledge that you have received your appointment time for the interview.
Come to the Office of Off-Campus Study, Heggblade Center, a few minutes early. You will be directed to the interview panel when they are available.
The panel will include one or two faculty members from the Government Department and the Assistant Director of Off-Campus Study. Whenever possible, an alumnus/a of the program will also participate as a student interviewer.
The interview panel treats the interview as a job interview, so you should dress appropriately. Men should wear a suit or dress slacks and a dress shirt with a tie. Women should wear a suit, slacks or skirt (knee-length or longer) and a blouse or sweater (no cleavage). Make sure your clothing is cleaned and ironed.
For many students, this interview is the first formal job interview and we are pleased to afford our applicants some practice and some feedback before the "real" phone interviews take place. A great deal of work in Washington consists of oral briefings and other face-to-face encounters, and the interview is a means for us to determine whether you are ready to stand on your own two feet in a stressful, fast-paced work environment.
Acceptance and Preparation
If you are having doubts, feel free to contact the Director of Off-Campus Study or a government professor to discuss your options and your concerns. Accepting our offer is tantamount to agreeing to put in 100% effort into your job and housing search, and as equally important, to invest time and energy into getting to know all program participants as well as staying in touch with Professor Spalding. Students who withdraw at a later date will be subject to a $500 withdrawal fee. Remember your actions often affect others on the program, so please be considerate.
Please notify the Off-Campus Study office as soon as possible; sometimes we are able to make alternate arrangements. If at the last minute, one of your professors schedules a special class meeting, a review session, or a special mid-term, it is your responsibility to communicate to the Office of Off-Campus Study that you will be unable to attend.
You need to make an appointment with the Director of Off-Campus Study in person.
In Washington, supervisors and coworkers will not send you reminders about the work you must do. They will just expect you to remember and lose respect for you if you do not. Interns in training should keep a calendar as this habit will serve you well in D.C. We have no intentions of sending you reminders.
Your employer in D.C. will expect you to meet deadlines, and we require nothing less. If you can't meet a deadline due to extenuating circumstances, we need to know about it.
Yes, every semester a group of Washington interns opt to study abroad for one semester before returning to CMC. Pomona, HMC, Pitzer and Scripps students must contact the office of Study Abroad, External Studies or Off-Campus Study on their home campus. You will be asked to select a destination and complete the study abroad application before leaving campus, so it is a good idea to start early. Study abroad applicants will be invited to a mandatory study abroad pre-departure meeting in mid-November and in mid-April.
After you are accepted to study abroad by the Off-Campus Study Committee, you will receive additional required forms that you need to complete to receive final approval to study abroad. Two of these forms are easier to complete before you arrive in D.C.: Coursework Approval Form (it is easier to get signatures while on campus) and the Health Report (do at Health Services before leaving campus or with your family doctor before going to D.C.). Both of these forms are available in the participants section of the Study Abroad website.
Students may petition for permission to study abroad before attending the Washington Program. Students must have compelling reasons for doing so, as applying for a job in D.C. from abroad and selecting housing with peers will be much more cumbersome. For example, internet access in some locations is billed at an hourly rate and you could be asked for a phone interview during a program field trip or vacation. Additionally, applicants would not have ready access to the support network available on campus. Such petitions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Refer to our Finances section.
Visit the Finances section.
The stipend check for your award will be mailed to the Washington Program office and it is given to you by the director during orientation.

Free Comic Book Day In Melbourne
Free Comic Book Day started in 2002 in America and is meant to bring new readers into comic book stores and get them into the whole comics scene.
Around Melbourne we have a few good comic stores and here's where they are and what they're doing on Saturday.
All Star Comics are leading the back with a whole bunch of scheduled events, with appearances/chats from some awesome comic book artists including Matthew Dunn, Andrew Isaac, Jeff Cruz, Hugh Freeman, Tristan Jones, Katie Houghton-Ward, Tom Taylor (a writer not an artist), Colin Wilson and Mike Wszealki all dropping by between 11am and 4pm on the day. They'll be selling some items as well. More details here.
ASC have also got some new posters by Justin Van Genderen available on the day too. On top of that, all Showcase and Essentials books will be only $20 (ie the essential Thor or Green Lantern books; some of these are huge!)
All Star Comics is at Level 1, 410 Lonsdale Street.
Zombie Comics haven't announced anything special for Saturday... probably because they're just an online store. But you should check them out anyway because they're rad and there might be some kind of sweet discount! Keep an eye on their website.
One of the better-known and older comic book stores in Melbourne, Minotaur, don't have anything on their site explicitly about Free Comic Book Day but I'd have to assume that they're participating, so head to their store at 121 Elizabeth Street or call them on 9670 5414.
Although they have no website, Classic Comics Melbourne will be participating in Free Comic Book Day so you should walk on in to their store at 7/50 Bourke Street - it's on the second floor.
Yes it's a naff kind of name but it's a great store! Stores, actually - they're at 220 Bourke St (First Floor), 113 Chapel Street (Windsor) and 112 Maroondah Highway (Ringwood). They're also online (kinda) with opening times but not much info, so head into one of those stores and get involved.
For those of you up north, Evil Empire Comics may or may not be participating... worth going in and asking about it anyway! They're online at Cafepress here and in the physical real world they exist at 36 Sydney Road.
Another favourite, FEC are definitely celebrating the comic book love by giving you a free poster, sticker and pin set with every purchase on Saturday. If you buy stuff, photograph yourself with it and post it to facebook and tag them, you'll go in a draw to win a FEC t-shirt. That's for all of May, actually, which is cute! They don't have their own store but this offer applies to all their gear. Read Beat's interview with them here!
Aside from having a big Reolcation Sale on at the time, Alternate Worlds are already giving out free comics every Tuesday (!) and will be celebrating Free Comic Book Day on Saturday too. Double whammy. Triple maybe even...check them out at 76 Chapel St, Windsor.
You might not get an actual free comic book but you'll definitely save some money, have heaps of fun and meet some weird and fun people. Free Comic Book Day is Saturday May 7, at comic book stores everywhere. They're usually small businesses so try not to chuck a tantrum if you don't get the thing you want for free - just have fun and get involved!

There's no secret regarding what's at stake when the Ravens meet the Bengals in the regular-season finale. The mystery is which Ravens team will show up at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday.
Will it be the same Baltimore team that swept the Steelers so convincingly and also dispatched the likes of the Texans, the Jets and the 49ers? Or will it be the squad that has lost four games on the road, including a pair of uninspiring efforts against the Jaguars and Seahawks?
"We're on a course to be as good as we can be," coach John Harbaugh said in response to a question asking for his comfort level with the way his team was playing on the cusp of the playoffs. "We're working hard to do that. We don't have to play any games that are behind us, and we don't have to play any games that are off in our future. We have to play this one. Obviously, it's got major ramifications for what is in front of us, so that's our focus."
The scenario is simple. Win, and the Ravens will have locked up no worse than the No. 2 seed in the AFC, ensured themselves a first-round bye, and guaranteed themselves a playoff game at M&T Bank Stadium for the first time since 2006.
Lose, however, and Baltimore could drop to the No. 5 seed (depending on how the Steelers do at Cleveland). In that scenario, the Ravens would play the following weekend, traveling to meet either Denver or Oakland.
"Big game. It's no secret," inside linebacker Ray Lewis said. "A division foe, we know each other; they know us, we know them. I think we know what's at stake. And at the same time, the Bengals have a lot of pride over there, too. (Coach) Marvin Lewis is going to definitely have them ready to play."
The Bengals would clinch a playoff berth with a win.
The most pressing concern for the Ravens is a spate of injuries that threatens to put the team at a strategic disadvantage.
Starting right guard Marshal Yanda sustained rib and thigh bruises that have left him highly questionable to play against Cincinnati. Andre Gurode, a five-time Pro Bowl center, is expected to start if Yanda, who was voted to his first Pro Bowl on Tuesday, is unavailable.
"He played fine," Harbaugh said of Gurode. "He did a good job. It's a tough duty. I think Andre's been put in that situation a few times, and he continues to compete in there and battle, and he'll do a good job."
Starting cornerback Cary Williams and inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe are both nursing concussions, and starting defensive end Cory Redding likely will be questionable again with a sore right ankle.
The swelling in Anquan Boldin's surgically repaired knee has subsided, but the wide receiver has already been ruled out until at least the playoffs. But despite minimal production from Lee Evans and rookies Torrey Smith and Tandon Doss in the Ravens' 20-14 win against the Browns on Saturday, Harbaugh said the organization isn't interested in signing any veteran free agents to boost the passing attack. That would appear to end speculation that the team might inquire about Derrick Mason, who has been working as part-time analyst for the NFL Network since the Texans released him last month.
"There's really not a lot of guys out there," Harbaugh said. "If anything, people have been signing guys off their practice squads for about the last six weeks very aggressively. Unless a name comes before us which we have not seen yet, I'd say that's probably not going to happen."
Another potential roadblock for Baltimore is its habit of underwhelming play away from M&T Bank Stadium. The losses to the Jaguars, Seahawks and Chargers have been problematic, but Harbaugh said he wasn't going to change anything about his approach to road games.
"I think we've got a good routine," he said. "It's proven. We're going to try to play better (than) in the games we didn't win on the road. That's the main thing. Obviously, the turnovers were a big factor in some of those games, so those are the things that will be our focus."
The Ravens' focus should be sharpened by the knowledge that a victory in Cincinnati would give the franchise its first AFC North title since 2006.
"We've got to win this game, and we have a possibility of winning the division," quarterback Joe Flacco said. "We have had a lot of games where we have to go win in order to really put us where we want to, and it's just another one of those. It's going to be against a good team, a division opponent, a team that's fighting for the playoffs themselves. We're going to have go in there and play a really good game to get a win."
SERIES HISTORY: 33rd regular-season meeting. Ravens lead series, 17-15. Baltimore is 6-9 in Cincinnati. The Ravens won the last meeting, 31-24, on Nov. 20. The offense was multifaceted, getting a 104-yard, two-touchdown performance from running back Ray Rice, a 270-yard, two-touchdown showing from quarterback Joe Flacco and a 165-yard, one-touchdown effort from rookie wide receiver Torrey Smith. The defense limited Bengals running back Cedric Benson to 41 yards, but he scored twice, and rookie quarterback Andy Dalton threw for a career-high 373 yards and one touchdown. Rookie defensive end Pernell McPhee sacked Dalton at the Ravens' 17-yard line on fourth-and-goal to preserve the victory.
--Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs has been regarded as one of the top candidates for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. However, Suggs, who has collected a career-best 13 sacks, forced six fumbles and made two interceptions, said that achievement is the last thing he is worrying about.
"I just ask myself how many Defensive Players of the Year -- with the exception of (Green Bay Packers cornerback) Charles Woodson -- have Super Bowl rings," he said. "It definitely would be an honor, but I am in it for the overall No. 1 goal. At the end of the year, we'll see where we all land. To add that along with some hardware, I think that'd be great. But if you ask me between the two, I would rather take the hardware (Lombardi Trophy)."
--Coach John Harbaugh confirmed what the Ravens suspected when David Reed dropped to the turf at M&T Bank Stadium without being hit by a Cleveland player Saturday.
Reed tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during his 30-yard kick return to open the third quarter. It's the second time in as many years that Reed will be unable to complete a season, as he was shelved for the team's final two regular-season contests and two postseason games last year by torn ligaments in his left wrist.
Harbaugh said Reed is won't return for this year, playoffs included. Reed will begin his rehab shortly after he gets surgery, which has not been scheduled.
--Cleveland's Peyton Hillis became the third opposing running back this season to gain at least 100 yards on the ground against the Ravens on Saturday.
However, Harbaugh didn't sound too worried when asked about Hillis' success against Baltimore's defense.
"I think they ran the exact same plays the exact same way they've been running them," Harbaugh said. "He's probably healthier than he was the first game. ... He's a good player, but I thought we played good defense. Overall, we gave up one drive essentially, and that's not bad."
--Billy Cundiff is eager to return for Sunday's regular-season finale.
Cundiff, who was replaced by Shayne Graham in Saturday's win against the Browns, said the time off was beneficial for the health of his balky left calf.
"This is probably the first stretch of two or three days where I've had no pain walking, no tightness, all of those kinds of things," Cundiff said. "It's been pretty tough to deal with, and I think that's why we need the rest. And now we're going to see how it responds to kicking."
BY THE NUMBERS: 0 -- Times Baltimore has swept the AFC North in the franchise's history. A win against the Bengals would give the Ravens their first 6-0 record against divisional foes.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "To be honest with you, it's not good enough for us. It's not good enough for anybody around here, just getting to the playoffs. We've seen that. We've won a playoff game the last three years, and it hasn't been good enough. And it's not good enough for us. We need to go in there, and we need to start playing our best football right now." -- Quarterback Joe Flacco, on making the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.
A Baltimore punt-coverage unit that has struggled this season won't get much a reprieve against the Bengals.
Brandon Tate has already set a Cincinnati franchise record with 498 punt-return yards. He has returned a punt for a touchdown, and he has registered five returns of at least 20 yards, which is tied for 10th in the NFL.
Tate faces a Ravens punt-coverage unit that has surrendered two returns for touchdowns -- matching a franchise low set in 2002.
--QB Joe Flacco is on pace to record his lowest completion percentage of his four-year career, having connected on just 56.8 percent of his throws. Only the Jets' Mark Sanchez has a lower completion percentage among quarterbacks who have surpassed the 3,000-yard mark this season.
--RB Ray Rice has recorded three consecutive seasons of 1,000 rushing yards, 60 catches and 500 receiving yards. Only one player has had a longer streak with those numbers: former Rams running back Marshall Faulk, who had a four-year run.
--DT Haloti Ngata has been credited with 60 tackles this season. Ngata is tied for second in that department among defensive tackles with the Bengals' Domata Peko.
--WR David Reed was placed on injured reserve after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while returning a kick Sunday against the Browns. Reed will not complete a season for the second consecutive year. He tore ligaments in his left wrist in 2010.
--OT D.J. Jones was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad. Jones, who was released from the Dolphins' practice squad in October, fills the void created when WR David Reed went on injured reserve.
RG Marshal Yanda was the only starter to miss practice Wednesday. Yanda is dealing with bruised ribs and a bruised thigh suffered in the team's 20-14 win against the Browns.
ILB Dannell Ellerbe (post-concussion symptoms) and DT Arthur Jones (illness) also did not practice.
WR Anquan Boldin (knee surgery) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.
A pair of starters, DE Cory Redding and CB Cary Williams, practiced on a limited basis. Redding sat out the contest against Cleveland because of a problematic right ankle. Williams sustained a concussion against the Browns.
K Billy Cundiff, who also did not play Saturday, returned to practice on a limited basis and was not listed on the injury report. That's an encouraging sign that his sore left calf is improving.
GAME PLAN: Cincinnati ranks fifth in the NFL against the run, allowing an average of 96.9 yards this season, but that didn't stop Baltimore from attacking the Bengals with running back Ray Rice, who compiled 104 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries in the teams' first meeting. Rice's effectiveness on the ground opened up chances in the aerial attack, which was underscored by quarterback Joe Flacco's 270-yard showing and rookie wide receiver Torrey Smith's 165-yard, one-touchdown performance. On defense, the Ravens found out that Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton is no pushover, as he threw for 373 yards and a touchdown. And Dalton did all that without rookie wide receiver A.J. Green, who was out with a hyperextended right knee. Baltimore did a good job keeping Bengals running back Cedric Benson quiet, holding him to just 41 rush yards, but he did score twice.
MATCHUPS TO WATCH: Ravens LB Terrell Suggs, who leads the team in sacks with 13, vs. Bengals LT Andrew Whitworth, who has allowed just four sacks this season -- Suggs has recorded just 1 1/2 sacks against Cincinnati since the club drafted him in the second round in 2006.
Ravens WR Torrey Smith, who led the team in targets with seven against the Browns, vs. Bengals CB Nate Clements, who is tied for second on the team with two interceptions -- With Anquan Boldin sidelined for at least one more week, Smith figures to get much of Clements' attention as Baltimore's top wideout.
