Boise State's 2009 football uniforms were unveiled for the first time to Bronco players at a Sunday night team meeting. The reaction was a resounding thumbs up to the new design and innovative jersey material that will be worn during the upcoming season.
Bronco footwear, apparel and equipment partner, Nike, created the uniform design, which took several months and a series of modifications by Boise State before being finalized.
On Monday, the public got their first opportunity to see the new digs in photographs of senior All-American candidate Kyle Wilson. Sporting his well known number 1 jersey, Wilson showed off the revamped home blue and away white uniforms.
"The material is lightweight and very tight," said Wilson. "I like the new design a lot, especially where we've added in some gray to highlight things."
The new jerseys are comprised of cordura material, a performance fabric that optimizes fit and durability. The cordura stretch mesh of the jerseys is similar to a dry fit material that wicks away moisture to help keep the jersey lightweight, while the durable fabric is resistant to tearing and ripping.
Although the new uniform design doesn't represent a radical change from past jersey and pant combinations, there are a number of noticeable differences. The jerseys now include a specialized "Bronco" number font that is gray in color and outlined in orange for home jerseys. On the white road jerseys, the number is blue with an orange outline. The number takes on an italicized form and includes a look similar to the Boise State athletic word mark.
The home blue jerseys also include a rounded horse head on the collar, and fans will notice that "Boise State" is absent from the front of the jersey. On the back of the jersey, "Broncos" is printed below the number in a modern wing box. The word "Broncos" in the highly recognizable Boise State font does appear on the front of the white away jerseys.
Shoulder piping on both jerseys is different than in years past, with a dual stripe (top being about an inch thick and bottom a quarter inch) mirroring the same piping that is seen on the backside of the pants.
A new style 1/4 inch stripe highlights the uniform pants, going down both sides (orange on the home blue pants and blue on the road white pants). A closer look at the left side of the pant reveals a new twist to the uniform, with "Boise State" printed top to bottom along the stripe in a light gray, a subtle branding reference that had been missing in previous uniforms.
The use of gray in the Bronco uniform does not end there, as Boise State will dawn gray facemasks for the first time in 2009, complimenting the gray numbers and wording on the pants. Other than the color change to the facemask, the helmet will remain the same as the previous seven seasons, colored blue with the Boise State primary athletic logo on each side.
And, last but not least, fans will notice the Nike logo prominently displayed on the uniforms, in much the same way it has since 2003 when the Broncos became a Nike team. The swoosh mark apears on the chest of both the home and away jerseys, as well as at the top of the pants.
This is Boise State's fourth new uniform combination this decade. The Broncos went with a rounded shoulder pattern for the 2000, 2001 and 2002 seasons, before updating that look with a much thicker stripe down the side of the jerseys and pants from 2003-2006. The past two seasons, Boise State's jersey and pant have included a thin stripe down the side.
Over the past nine seasons, Boise State has used a combination of jersey and pant colors, with the most common being blue on blue at home. The away look has included white on blue (2002 and the 2008 Poinsettia Bowl), white on white (2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008) and white on orange (2005, 2006, 2007 Fiesta Bowl and one game in 2008).
This year, the standard combination for the new uniforms will be blue jersey and blue pants at home, with white jersey and white pants on the road. But, the uniforms were designed to accomodate a mix of those combinations if desired.

After the expansion of Arab and other Muslims into the Middle East from the Arabian Peninsula, Jews, along with Christians and Zoroastrians, typically had the legal status of dhimmi. As such, they were entitled to limited rights but fewer than those of muslims.
The Constitution of Medina, written shortly after hijra, addressed some points regarding the civil and religious situation for the Jewish communities living within the city from an Islamic perspective. For example, the constitution stated that the Jews "will profess their religion, and the Muslims theirs", and they "shall be responsible for their expenditure, and the Muslims for theirs". Rarely did Jews live with such freedom. After the Battle of Badr, the Jewish tribe of Banu Qaynuqa allegedly breached treaties and agreements with Muhammad. The Islamic founder regarded this as casus belli and besieged the Banu Qaynuqa. Upon surrender the tribe was expelled. The following year saw the expulsion of the second tribe, the Banu Nadir, accused of planning to kill The Prophet Muhammad. The third major Jewish tribe in Medina, Banu Qurayza was eliminated when the Muslims besieged their fortifications not long after the fall of the Banu Nadir, an event reported in Surah 33:25-27 of the Qur'an.
In year 20 of the Muslim era, or the year 641 AD, Muhammad's successor the Caliph 'Umar decreed that Jews and Christians should be removed from all but the southern and eastern fringes of Arabia—a decree based on the (sometimes disputed) uttering of the Prophet: "Let there not be two religions in Arabia". The two populations in question were the Jews of the Khaybar oasis in the north and the Christians of Najran. Other sources report the forced deportation of Jews and Christians occurring in 634 AD, with the last remnants of these two monotheistic religions being removed from the Arabian peninsula by the year 650. From this point onwards the Holy Land of the Hijaz was forbidden to non-Muslims. Only the Red Sea port of Jedda was permitted as a "religious quarantine area" and continued to have a small complement of Jewish merchants.
In much of the rest of the Muslim world of the Caliphate, and into the early Middle Ages, Jews retained a relatively secure position within Muslim society, achieving powerful positions in the great Muslim courts and centres of learning.
During early Islam, Leon Poliakov writes, Jews enjoyed great privileges, and their communities prospered. There was no legislation or social barriers preventing them from conducting commercial activities. Many Jews migrated to areas newly conquered by Muslims and established communities there. The vizier of Baghdad entrusted his capital with Jewish bankers. The Jews were put in charge of certain parts of maritime and slave trade. Siraf, the principal port of the caliphate in the 10th century CE, had a Jewish governor.
Throughout history, there have been numerous instances of pogroms against Jews. Examples include the 1066 Granada massacre, the razing of the entire Jewish quarter in the Andalucian city of Granada. In North Africa, there were cases of violence against Jews in the Middle Ages, and in other Arab lands including Egypt, Syria. and Yemen Jewish population was confined to segregated quarters, or mellahs, in Morocco beginning from the 15th century. In cities, a mellah was surrounded by a wall with a fortified gateway. In contrast, rural mellahs were separate villages inhabited solely by the Jews.
The Almohads, who had taken control of much of Islamic Iberia by 1172, far surpassed the Almoravides in fundamentalist outlook, and they treated the dhimmis harshly. Jews and Christians were expelled from Morocco and Islamic Spain. Faced with the choice of either death or conversion, some Jews, such as the family of Maimonides, fled south and east to the more tolerant Muslim lands, while others went northward to settle in the growing Christian kingdoms.
In 1400, the Jews of Aleppo were herded into their synagogues and slaughtered to the last man by soldiers of Central Asian Islamic conqueror Tamerlane; the young women were raped. These actions taken by Timur's army do not necessarily exemplify a hatred towards Jews by Timur though, but rather an unfortunate casualty of war. Despite Timur's ill reputation as a brutal conqueror, there is evidence which asserts that Timur exhibited tolerance towards Jews residing within his empire. In 1465, Arab mobs in Fez slaughtered thousands of Jews, leaving only 11 alive, after a Jewish deputy vizier treated a Muslim woman in "an offensive manner." The killings touched off a wave of similar massacres throughout Morocco.
The Ottoman Empire had served as a refuge for Spanish Jews who had been expelled from the Kingdom of Spain and its territories and possessions, especially after the fall of Muslim Spain in 1492 and Edict of Expulsion. This was also the case for the Maghreb in North Africa, where a Jewish quarter (Mellah), was installed in most large Arabian cities. Later the Jewish converts were driven out of Spain fleeing the Roman Catholic Inquisition.
In 1656, all Jews were expelled from Isfahan because of the common belief of their impurity and forced to convert to Islam. However, as it became known that the converts continued to practice Judaism in secret and because the treasury suffered from the loss of jizya collected from the Jews, in 1661 they were allowed to revert to Judaism, but were still required to wear a distinctive patch upon their clothings.
There was a massacre of Jews in Baghdad in 1828. In 1839, in the eastern Persian city of Meshed, a mob burst into the Jewish Quarter, burned the synagogue, and destroyed the Torah scrolls. It was only by forcible conversion that a massacre was averted. There was another massacre in Barfurush in 1867. In 1839, the Allahdad incident, the Jews of Mashhad, Iran, now known as the Mashhadi Jews, were coerced into converting to Islam.
In the middle of the 19th century, J. J. Benjamin wrote about the life of Persian Jews:
"…they are obliged to live in a separate part of town…; for they are considered as unclean creatures… Under the pretext of their being unclean, they are treated with the greatest severity and should they enter a street, inhabited by Mussulmans, they are pelted by the boys and mobs with stones and dirt… For the same reason, they are prohibited to go out when it rains; for it is said the rain would wash dirt off them, which would sully the feet of the Mussulmans… If a Jew is recognized as such in the streets, he is subjected to the greatest insults. The passers-by spit in his face, and sometimes beat him… unmercifully… If a Jew enters a shop for anything, he is forbidden to inspect the goods… Should his hand incautiously touch the goods, he must take them at any price the seller chooses to ask for them... Sometimes the Persians intrude into the dwellings of the Jews and take possession of whatever please them. Should the owner make the least opposition in defense of his property, he incurs the danger of atoning for it with his life... If... a Jew shows himself in the street during the three days of the Katel (Muharram)…, he is sure to be murdered."
In 1840, the Jews of Damascus were falsely accused of having murdered a Christian monk and his Muslim servant and of having used their blood to bake Passover bread. A Jewish barber was tortured until he "confessed"; two other Jews who were arrested died under torture, while a third converted to Islam to save his life. Throughout the 1860s, the Jews of Libya were subjected to what Gilbert calls punitive taxation. In 1864, around 500 Jews were killed in Marrakech and Fez in Morocco. In 1869, 18 Jews were killed in Tunis, and an Arab mob looted Jewish homes and stores, and burned synagogues, on Jerba Island. In 1875, 20 Jews were killed by a mob in Demnat, Morocco; elsewhere in Morocco, Jews were attacked and killed in the streets in broad daylight. In 1897, synagogues were ransacked and Jews were murdered in Tripolitania.
By the late 1940s, conditions of the Arab Jews in many Muslim countries were rapidly worsening through a combination of growing Arab nationalism due to European occupation; Nazi influence in the Axis controlled parts of North Africa; and the conflict in the British Mandate of Palestine. The situation came to a head after 1948 Arab-Israeli war, historically the first military struggle between Jews and Muslims. After many Muslims were expelled from their ancestral homeland in Palestine, many Arab states instituted formal discriminatory laws against their Jewish populations. Within a few decades, most Jews fled Muslim lands, most for the newly created Jewish state, but others went to France, the United States, Great Britain and other Commonwealth nations. In 1945 there were between 758,000 and 866,000 Jews living in communities throughout the Arab world. Today, there are fewer than 8,000. In some Arab states, such as Libya which was once around 3 percent Jewish, the Jewish community no longer exists; in other Arab countries, only a few hundred Jews remain. The largest communities of Jews in a Muslim land exist in the non-Arab countries of Iran and Turkey; both, however, are much smaller than they historically have been.
Jewish ethnic groups that have lived in the majority-Muslim world include Sephardi, Mizrahi, and Temani.

Critical Essay by Joanne V. Creighton
[The Wheel of Love] has thematic unity: focusing exclusively on the emotional complexity of human relationships, the collection offers a rich—if distressing—view of the mysterious, volatile, and disorienting power of love. But the very obsessiveness of this thematic emphasis may contribute to the reader's disaffection with Oates. The reader is overcome with fatigue, bombarded as he is with repeated instances of unrelieved emotional misery. Moreover, he is likely to lose sight of the well-realized story in the chaff of the less luminous ones.
In this collection sexual love is invariably a compulsive, essentially joyless, terrifying, painful and unwelcome experience. (p. 375)
The Wheel of Love is populated with innumerable men and women who have sealed themselves off from physical and emotional experience. Oates often employs clerics such as Sister Irene of "In the Region of...

It was the strong southeasterly trade winds which brought sailing vessels round the Cape of Good Hope and across the South Atlantic Ocean, and led to the discovery of the remote Island of St. Helena in the early years of the sixteenth century. In the twenty-first century, a different sort of vessel rounds the horizon far overhead, but the same southeast trade winds can still bring attention to the small island lying in the remote ocean, especially in cloud-filled skies. NASA's Terra satellite passed over the South Atlantic Ocean on November 15, 2012, allowing the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument flying aboard to capture this true-color image of St. Helena Island and the band of wind-blow cloud vortices trailing towards the island's leeward side. St. Helena Island is a tiny island lying approximately 1,860 kilometers (1,156 miles) west of Africa. Volcanic in origin, it has rugged topography with steep, sharp peaks and deep ravines. Wind, which can blow unimpeded for hundreds of miles across the ocean, strikes the face of the mountains, and is forced around the unyielding terrain. As it blows around the island, the air spins on the leeward side, much like a flowing river forms eddies on the downriver side of a piling. The spinning wind forms intricate – and mathematically predictable – patterns. When clouds are in the sky, these beautiful patterns become visible from above.

Disk read errors could be alot of different things and I would never take anyones word that is wasn't a softmod failure. You will have to wait till you get it and run signcheck on it to be certain it wasn't a cioscorp fail.
Keep New Wii (4.2) soft mod no boot 2 protection or backup disk reading
Keep Used Wii hopefully with option of boot2 (currently disk error) only use USB loader
Keep both (I won't do it even if you say to)
Send in "broken" wii to be fixed then it will sell for more $
OK, so I just won a new wii with 4.2 and I soft modded it and that was easy with the tut. here on the site. PERFECT!
Before I won that I had many requests to get one from people and someone mailed me and said they would sell me theirs with disk read error and remote cables... all for $85 shipped.
So I plan to keep the remote and then sell one of the units.
So, should I keep the old one and if so how do I fix the disk read error?
They shipped it today so I should get it in less than a week from now. Looking to learn as much as I can before then.
They said theirs was never modded or hooked up to internet so I suppose it's an older model and mabe even a good drive chipset for backups but as of now just a guess.
Disk read errors could be alot of different things and I would never take anyones word that is wasn't a softmod failure. You will have to wait till you get it and run signcheck on it to be certain it wasn't a cioscorp fail.
If you are going to sell one I'd say try to fix the broken one first. Maybe you'll have boot2 and backup disk capabilities which you probably won't with the new one, in my mind thats a better softmod consol anyday.
When I got it, it powered onto standby mode. She said it usually just sits there and has been played maybe 30 hours, non smokeing house, problem started off random but ended up not working at all. Never softmodded.
When I insert disk, it sounds like it wants to spin but something is blocking it. It also has rings scratched on the wii sports game. One set of rings close to the center and one near the middle.
No codes, just the can't read or whatever it says.
Any ideas on what to do to fix it would be great. I'll get triwing in on Fri. most likely
OK, last update on this. I got it open and found 2 pieces of red paper in it!
That was an easy fix! Just tested and it works just fine.
Now I only have to decide... should I keep a used wii (with D2C2) Drive in it or keep my brandnew one... choices choices. I'm leaning towards keeping the old and selling the new. Probobly get more money for one still under warantee
Always keep a Wii that is boot2 capable, You will always be able to fix a brick if you have boot2 and a NAND backup.

Babalu fought Fedor and went the distance with him, are you saying Chuck is the best in the world and would beat Fedor? Also, Babalu fought Randleman and Chuck did win that fight but in the same aspect, there is no way in hell Chuck would beat Shogun. Most of Babalu's losses are to wrestlers: Randleman, Dana Henderson and Fedor (though is a different type of animal). I'm not sure Chuck would even beat Dan Henderson even giving up about 30 lbs to Chuck as Chuck comes into his fights heavy but look at what Henderson did to the heavier Babalu and the heavier and #2 ranked fighter in the world Big Nog not to mention it was done in the same night.
Babalu has faced just as difficult competition as Chuck and IMO Babalu's victory over Shogun and his going the distance with the #1 ranked fifhter on the planet is more impressive than anything Chuck has ever accomplished in MMA as Chcuk would not be able to make that same claim against those fighters as they are world class strikers and not the usual Chuck opponets, "wrestlers" and "grapplers".
Dana White has been playing politician for a few years now as they have been building up the UFC. If you look at Chuck's fight history since he became this hyped UFC hero he has only faced wrestlers and grapplers.
First you have the Ortiz fight which Tito had fights in a period of over 2.5 years, no surprise he lost both fights as if you are not actively fighting, you are not actively training (in most cases). Then he fights Vernon White who has an MMA record of 24-27... Why was this man fighting Chuck in the first place? Then he has that beautifull eye gouge victory over Couture, then onto his fight against Horn which should not have taken place but again the UFC polits of Dana White as Horn was more well known than Babalu and lets see... Babalu was on an 8 fight win streak with wins over Prangly, Shogun, Pele and WAIT: Jeremy Horn! So how is it that Horn got the title shot and not Babalu?
Now that Babalu is on a 10 fight win streak the true MMA fans that follow the sport are raising their eyebrows at what exactly is going on in the UFC so to not enduce further speculation they have to give Babalu the title shot.
Regardless of the outcome of the fight the Silva fight will still take place as there is so much hype on that fight and the card looks insane already as Hughes will be defending the title against St. Pierre and Loiseau vs Swick (obviously not drawing the attention the other 2 fights are but still the first time in I don't know how long that there are going to be at least 3 fights containing worthy fighters) and UFC is expecting to reach the 1 million mark on payperviews ordered so they will definately pay Wanderlei's pride salary of $400,000 for this fight and make around $10 million on that fight alone.
it is good that the WFA is dropping some cash for bigger names, this forces the UFC to no longer force feed us 2 main events and some of the crappiest undercards ever wittnessed in MMA.
I don't agree with some of what you said ,but I really like the way you said it.With that being said it's like you said Babalu has fought a lot of wrestlers who want the fight on the ground whick plays into Babalu's hands b/c he's a submission expert.Chuck is a guy with great wrestling ability who will keep the fight on the feet.Babalu doesn't have a very good chance of beating Chuck.Originally Posted by dagreat1

Brad Bird Writes About The Brilliance of 'Die Hard'
Posted on Thursday, February 21st, 2013 by Germain Lussier
With the (not well reviewed) fifth installment in the Die Hard series now in theaters, many people have taken the opportunity to revisit the original 1988 film. Directed by John McTiernan, the movie depicting John McClane's terrible night saving a Los Angeles office building from a bunch of thieves is widely considered one of the best action films ever made, if not the best.
Among its biggest fans is the director of one of the best action movies in recent years, Brad Bird. The Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol director took some time off Tomorrowland prep to pen a quick ode to Die Hard for Rolling Stone. Read it below. Read More »

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania — The government of Tanzania has said that there is unsatisfactory pace of growth in agriculture sector at 4% for a period of 10 years making agriculture fail to contribute heavily to the national economy.
The Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Ms Sofia Kaduma said during an agricultural meeting in Dar es Salaam that there is need to invest more in agriculture in order to make sector contribute heavily to the national economy and uplift the majority from poverty.
"We need to invest more in irrigation infrastructure in terms of irrigation and research if the agriculture initiatives are to be realized"Ms Kaduma said.
However, the deputy permanent secretary said there was some slight improvements in irrigation to 480, 382 ha in 2012 as compared 264,388 ha that were being irrigated in 2006 while at the same time seeing the extension services improving to 7,974 ha in 2012 from 3,379 ha in 2006.
She also pointed out that there has been an improvement in both the agricultural inputs to seeds, fertilizer subsidies schemes and access of such inputs to small scale farmers in recent years especially with the formulation of agricultural Kilimo Kwanza initiatives in 2008-2009 financial year.
The deputy PS also pointed out that the government efforts to introduce the Southern Agriculture Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT), a unique public - private partnership agricultural transformation initiative was mainly aimed at transforming agricultural areas into productivity while ensuring food security as well as exporting that will lead into gaining foreign currency as well.
Kaduma stressed that the concept of SAGCOT was to support partnership between small scale holder farmers and investors by adding value to their products and finding markets for them.
She pointed out that the government was keen in as far as issues of land is concerned and has already earmarked the land for investment in order to control and refrain from land conflicts and also removal of taxes for key agriculture inputs that may scare away investors.
The PS said that SAGCOT together with the coming up of Agriculture Development Bank to be realized later this year would aim at making sure that small scale farmers have access to finances in order to improve the agriculture sector in the country and make them grow into larger scale farmers.
The Chairperson of SACGOT, Mr. Salum Shamte said the need for efforts to be directed on agriculture while noting that there hasn't been yet the commitment of making sure that agriculture attains a 10% budget allocation as per the Maputo (Mozambique) deliberations made by African heads of state to improve food security in the region.
"I hear that the current budget allocation on agriculture has risen up to around 9% in 2012/2013 financial comparing to the previous financial year allocations of 3.2%, though it is still below the 10% Maputo agreement" the SAGCOT chairperson noted.
He however noted that in the recent years there have been some improvements in the production to some agricultural products like beef, cashew nuts, cotton, tobacco, and pyrethrum and also the importation of tractors or power tillers have improved to 13,000 imports by the year 2011 from 256 importations in 200.
The SAGCOT's chairperson also pointed out that, SAGCOT has potential of 7.5 million ha of land suitable for agricultural production with an access to rail, electricity and water resources while mentioning the Rufiji Basin as being one amongst them.
"We need to look on how we link small scale farmers to financial institutions; markets access as well as empowering them "said SAGCOT Chairman while adding that Tanzania was still importing much in agricultural input."
He stressed that the current measures to improve Tanzania Zambia Railway (Tazara), both the airports expansion in Dar es Salaam and Mbeya including the construction of birth 13 and 14 at the Dar Port would improve the SAGCOT agricultural exports from the country.
He said that by 2030 when the project comes to fully implementation will aim to profit 350,000 hectors of land in profitable production where 420,000 new employments will have been created while 10,000 commercial small scale farmers being uplifted and making 2,400,000 million Tanzanians moving out of poverty which in turn would enable the government get more revenues from agriculture and grow its economy.

|Imperial Online is an online RPG where you can kill monsters, and level up your skills. The main idea of the game is to train your skills to use better armor and weapons to defeat your enemies. There are many different PvP areas you can access, so many players will specialize in certain skills to defeat you. There are different ways you can fight other people, and depending where you fight them, there are different death consequences. For instance, fighting in the arena under the Valder Island castle will cause you to lose all equiped items, but fighting outside the fenced area will just take you back outside of the castle. Imperial Online isn't just about PKing though, you can also fight many boss battles (coming soon). Apart from using your melee attacks, you can also use spells to destroy your foes. Spells can either do damage, heal, give SP, or take away SP. SP is how many times you can attack with melee. if you run out of SP, you will need to wait a second or two for it to regenerate. Hopefully I gave enough information to cover the basics.

'American Idol's' Nigel Lythgoe: Season 12 is 'a jigsaw puzzle that doesn't fit'Add to Favorites | American Idol
This season of "American Idol" has not lived up to its executive producer's hopes.
"That got off to a bad start and that didn't help anything," Nigel Lythgoe tells Zap2it of the friction between judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey.
"The guys themselves are, goodness me, I don't think you could find two nicer men," he says of judges Randy Jackson and Keith Urban. "Randy is loved by America, and Keith is the nicest man you could hope to meet. Individually, every single one of them has something to offer."
Collectively, however, he says, "for me it is a bit like a jigsaw puzzle that doesn't quite fit."
Lythgoe realizes that some panels had great interaction among the judges, and this one just never came together as a unit.
"I don't think we have good chemistry with the judges," he says. "And that saddens me. They are good individually, but I miss the camaraderie we have had in the past."
His least favorite part of the season has been, no shocker, the falling ratings.
"And it has been really difficult because it has been a good season of talent," Lythgoe says, "That is always very sad, and everybody of course has an opinion as to how we can stop falling ratings. They all become producers."
As far as the talent goes, though, Lythgoe says he is bowled over by the five women: Amber Holcomb, Angie Miller, Candice Glover, Janelle Arthur and Kree Harrison.
As far as the talent goes, though, Lythgoe says he is bowled over by the five women: Amber Holcomb, Angie Miller, Candice Glover, Janelle Arthur and Kree Harrison.
"It's been an incredibly brilliant for talent," he says. "The five girls we are left with now -- I jump from one to the other saying, 'You are fantastic! No, you are fantastic. You are brilliant.'
As to whether there will be a new slate of judges next season, Lythgoe rests that decision squarely with FOX.
"FOX books the judges and has the last few years," he says.

July 13, 2011 -- Pets improve the emotional and physical well-being of their owners in their daily lives, a new study shows.
Researchers say ordinary people -- whom they call "everyday people" -- reap many significant rewards from having relationships with faithful pets.
The series of three studies conducted by researchers at Miami University in Ohio and Saint Louis University concluded that:
"The present work presents considerable evidence that pets benefit the lives of their owners, both psychologically and physically, by serving as an important source of social support," the researchers say. "Whereas past work has focused primarily on pet owners facing significant health challenges ... the present study establishes that there are many positive consequences for everyday people who own pets."
"We observed evidence that pet owners fared better, both in terms of well-being outcomes and individual differences, than non-owners on several dimensions," study researcher Allen R. McConnell, PhD, of Miami University in Ohio, says in a news release.
The researchers' work also indicated that pet owners are just as close to key people in their lives as to their animals. This suggests that relationships with pets did not get in the way or affect pet-owners' relationships with other people.
The studies included 370 participants. In one study, 217 people answered surveys designed to show whether pet owners in the group differed from people who didn't have pets in areas like personality type, attachment style, and well-being.
A second study involved 56 dog owners and was designed to determine whether pet owners benefited more when their animals were perceived to meet their social needs.
The last of three studies involved 96 undergraduate pet owners who were asked to write about a time they felt socially rejected. It found that writing about pets was as effective as writing about people in helping to handle feelings of rejection.
Pet ownership has been rising for years. The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association says about two-thirds of the 71.1 million American households have at least one pet, up from 56% in 1988.
The study is published online in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

Why I Exercise On My Lunch Hour
I like to workout at lunchtime because it wakes me up for the afternoon and even if I don't workout for the rest of that day at least I got something in.
On days that I do workout after or before work, I can cut my time in half if I do something at work.
How I Manage Lunchtime Workouts
I use to go down to the local gym but that got too crowed and rushed so now I keep an exercise ball and a set of weights in my office. (Plus exercise clothes).
One day I'll do core, next day upper body, another day legs etc.
I have an elliptical at home so I leave my cardio for that.
Works great!
Lessons Learned
- I'm amazed how much of a great workout I can do in 20-30 minutes!


text: yeah i understand that there are a few quality fights on this card but do they seriously expect to get alot of buys with Bisping vs. Evans as a main event? The Houston Alexander fight will be sick as well as Edgar vs Fisher but after the Hammil fight Bisping isn't necessarily a fan favorite nor was he overly impressive in the so called "win". As far as "sugar" goes, he's a cage grab away from being back to fighting scrubs. Maybe i'm being a little harsh on the card because it has potential to be interesting but it just irks me to see Bisping's and Evan's face on the UFC website for the link to UFC 78

Derby have completed the signing of Kilmarnock midfielder Craig Bryson for an undisclosed fee.
Bryson, a Scotland international and captain of Killie last season, has signed a three-year contract and becomes Nigel Clough's fourth summer signing following goalkeeper Frank Fielding and strike pair Jamie Ward and Theo Robinson.
Clough said: "It's a tremendous signing for us and we're delighted Craig has chosen to come to Derby."
He added: "He's a leader on and off the field and has a tremendous hunger to improve.
"We've watched him in action repeatedly over the last six months and he has energy and ability in abundance.
"At age 24 he's a player we see having a big impact both now and in the future."
Bryson, who started 33 of Kilmarnock's 38 Scottish Premier League games last season, skippered the side to a sixth-placed finish.
He made his full international debut in November last year against the Faroe Islands.

Zanzibar — AS Zanzibar opens more dispensaries and hospitals for easy access to patients, the Ministry of Health has been asked to recruit more healthcare professionals to minimize the shortage on the Isles.
"It is good that we are having more health centres and therefore solving the problem of travelling far in search for medical services, but the challenge is we cannot have many hospitals which are not adequately staffed," the Second Vice-President, Ambassador Seif Ali Iddi said.
He made the observations at Sebleni centre for the elderly where he laid a foundation stone for the extension of the clinic building, saying "we need nurses and doctors to serve people efficiently." The ambassador said that due increasing number of people in the islands, having health centres close to residential areas was an advantage, including minimizing congestion at hospitals meant for referral cases only.
"I appeal to the ministry of health to do-all-you-can to have more nurses and other medical professionals to help people. We need to discourage unnecessary congestions in big hospitals by making sure that minor health problems can be treated at the clinics and dispensaries," Amb. Iddi said.
The second vice-president also appealed to the general public to give family planning priority because it is important in having a healthy family and eventually have a better economical development.
In response, the Zanzibar Minister for Health, Mr Juma Duni proposed to work on the problems, including the provision of maternal health care services at the Sebleni clinic. Dr Fadhili Mohammed, Unguja Island Chief Medical Officer, said that mobile clinics will further help reduce congestion at Mnazi Mmoja Referral Hospital.

testing usually begins with a
history and physical exam. This includes the
forward-bending test, a simple test in which the child bends forward at the
waist, arms hanging loosely and palms touching, and the examiner looks for
unevenness in the child's back or ribs. A
scoliometer can be used to measure and estimate the
rotation of the spinal curve.
If the findings of the history and
physical exam show a significant spinal curve, an
X-ray of the spine may be taken to get a more precise
measurement of the spinal curve.
Skeletal age, as determined by
the Risser sign, is also a helpful measure to find out
the risk that the curve will get worse.
If someone in your family
has scoliosis, your children should be checked regularly.
Neurological testing may be done on children who have scoliosis to
see if they have certain disorders that are often associated with
scoliosis, such as
cerebral palsy or
muscular dystrophy.
Screening means doing a
simple test to see whether further testing might be needed.
Some states require screening for scoliosis by law.
But experts don't agree with whether or not to screen for scoliosis.3, 4 Screening can lead to early treatment and may prevent curves from getting worse, but screening can also lead to more testing or treatment for children who would not have needed it.
Some experts believe that children (especially daughters) of women who have scoliosis should be screened for scoliosis regularly throughout their late
childhood and teen years.2
If you are concerned about screening for scoliosis, talk to your child's doctor.

AT&T Inc. is the largest provider of both local and long distance telephone services, DSL Internet access and wireless service in the United States with 71.4 million wireless customers and more than 150 million total customers. In 2005, "Baby Bell" SBC Communications Inc. purchased former "Ma Bell" AT&T Corporation and then changed the name of the company after the merger to the more iconic AT&T moniker and the T stock-trading symbol (for "telephone").
The current AT&T includes eleven of the original Bell Operating Companies, and the original long distance division. While it reconstitutes much of the former Bell System, AT&T Inc. lacks the vertical integration of the historic AT&T Corp. which prompted the antitrust suit and breakup in 1984.
The company was honored at the 2008 Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards for development of coaxial cable technology.
AT&T Inc. (the contemporary company using the AT&T name) was founded in 1983 as Southwestern Bell Corporation, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. It was one of the seven original Regional Bell Operating Companies, or "Baby Bells". The company — a holding company for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company was incorporated by AT&T Corporation as a result of U.S. antitrust action against their company in 1983. It took full control of Southwestern Bell Telephone on January 1, 1984.
In 1993, Southwestern Bell Corp. moved its headquarters to San Antonio, Texas, and, during its annual meeting of stockholders in 1995, the company announced that its name would be changed to SBC Communications, Inc. The name change was an effort to reinforce the company's national and global reach and the company stated not only that "SBC" was not an acronym for Southwestern Bell Corporation but also that it did not stand for anything at all.
SBC then proceeded (as permitted by the Telecommunications Act of 1996) to acquire fellow Baby Bell Pacific Telesis, the Regional Bell operating company serving Nevada and California, in 1997 and the former independent Bell System franchise SNET (Southern New England Telephone).
SBC then announced plans to acquire Ameritech, the Regional Bell operating company serving Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, and told the FCC that it would allow competitors access to local markets where it had had a monopoly if the FCC would allow them to acquire Ameritech. The FCC agreed and in May 1998, SBC and Ameritech announced the merger would move forward. After making several organizational changes (such as the sale of Ameritech Wireless to GTE) to satisfy state and Federal regulators, the two merged on October 8, 1999. The FCC later fined SBC Communications $6 million for failure to comply with agreements made in order to secure approval of the merger.
On November 1, 1999, SBC became a part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
In 2002, SBC ended marketing its operating companies under different names, and simply opted to give its companies different doing business as names based on the state (a practice already in use by Ameritech since 1993), and it gave the holding companies it had purchased d/b/a names based on their general region.
On June 27, 2008, AT&T announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to Dallas, Texas.
On January 31, 2005, SBC announced that it would purchase AT&T Corp. for more than $16 billion. The announcement came almost 8 years after SBC and AT&T called off their first merger talks and nearly a year after initial merger talks between AT&T and BellSouth fell apart. AT&T stockholders, meeting in Denver, approved the merger on June 30, 2005. The U.S. Department of Justice cleared the merger on October 27, 2005, and the Federal Communications Commission approved it on October 31, 2005. The merger was finalized on November 18, 2005. SBC changed its corporate name to AT&T Inc., and updated the former AT&T's graphic logo, however the existing AT&T Sound trademark (voiced by Pat Fleet) continues to be used.
On December 1, 2005 the combined company began trading under the historic "T" stock ticker symbol on the NYSE. To differentiate from the preceding company, AT&T is formally known as "AT&T Inc.", while the preceding company was "AT&T Corp."
Of the twenty-two Bell Operating Companies which AT&T owned prior to the 1984 agreement to divest, eleven (BellSouth Telecommunications combines two former BOCs) have become a part of the new AT&T Inc. with the completion of their acquisition of BellSouth Corporation on December 29, 2006:
AT&T owns the following operating companies not considered a Bell Operating Company:
AT&T Inc. has retained the holding companies it has acquired over the years resulting in the following corporate structure:
AT&T's current board mainly consists of members of SBC's board of directors.
In 2005, AT&T was among 53 entities that contributed the maximum of $250,000 to the second inauguration of President George W. Bush.
In September 2007, AT&T changed their legal policy to state that "AT&T may immediately terminate or suspend all or a portion of your Service, any Member ID, electronic mail address, IP address, Universal Resource Locator or domain name used by you, without notice for conduct that AT&T believes"..."(c) tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries. By October 10, 2007 AT&T had altered the terms and conditions for its Internet service to explicitly support freedom of expression by its subscribers, after an outcry claiming the company had given itself the right to censor its subscribers' transmissions.
Section 5.1 of AT&T's new terms of service now reads "AT&T respects freedom of expression and believes it is a foundation of our free society to express differing points of view. AT&T will not terminate, disconnect or suspend service because of the views you or we express on public policy matters, political issues or political campaigns.
In 2006, the Electronic Frontier Foundation lodged a class action lawsuit, Hepting v. AT&T, which alleged that AT&T had allowed agents of the National Security Agency (NSA) to monitor phone and Internet communications of AT&T customers without warrants. If true, this would violate the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and the First and Fourth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. AT&T has yet to confirm or deny that monitoring by the NSA is occurring. In April 2006, a retired former AT&T technician, Mark Klein, lodged an affidavit supporting this allegation. The Department of Justice has stated they will intervene in this lawsuit by means of State Secrets Privilege.
In May 2006, USA Today reported that all international and domestic calling records had been handed over to the National Security Agency by AT&T, Verizon, SBC, and BellSouth for the purpose of creating a massive calling database. The portions of the new AT&T that had been part of SBC Communications before November 18, 2005 were not mentioned.
On June 21, 2006, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that AT&T had rewritten rules on their privacy policy. The policy, which took effect June 23, 2006, says that "AT&T — not customers — owns customers' confidential info and can use it 'to protect its legitimate business interests, safeguard others, or respond to legal process.'
On August 22, 2007, National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell confirmed that AT&T was one of the telecommunications companies that assisted with the government's warrantless wire-tapping program on calls between foreign and domestic sources.
On November 8, 2007, Mark Klein, a former AT&T technician, told Keith Olbermann of MSNBC that all Internet traffic passing over AT&T lines was copied into a locked room at the company's San Francisco office — to which only employees with National Security Agency clearance had access.
On December 3, 2007, AT&T announced it would remove all of its 65,000 remaining payphones by the end of 2008. BellSouth already had removed its payphones years before being acquired by AT&T, and Qwest sold its pay telephone services in 2004. Verizon Communications will be the only Baby Bell that will continue to operate pay telephones following the removal of AT&T pay telephones, and currently has no interest in leaving the business.
Commentators in the media have speculated that if this plan is implemented, it would lead to a mass exodus of subscribers leaving AT&T, although this is misleading as internet traffic may go through the company's network anyway. Internet freedom proponents used these developments as justification for government-mandated network neutrality.
It is expected to involve about 700 of the company's nearly 6,000 San Antonio-based employees.
AT&T Inc. previously relocated its corporate headquarters to San Antonio from St. Louis in 1992, when it was then named Southwestern Bell Corporation. The company's Telecom Operations group, which serves residential and regional business customers in 22 U.S. states, will remain in San Antonio.
Atlanta will continue to be the headquarters for AT&T Mobility. New Jersey will continue to be the headquarters for the company's Global Business Services group and AT&T Labs. St. Louis will continue as home to the company's Directory operations, AT&T Advertising & Publishing.

March 5 (Bloomberg) -- Soybean growers in Brazil, the largest producer after the U.S., will harvest less of the oilseed than previously expected after a drought damaged crops, forecaster Celeres said.
Output in the crop year that started Aug. 1 will drop 6.7 percent from a year earlier to 69.8 million metric tons, Celeres said in an e-mailed report. The estimate was cut from 72 million estimated on Feb. 6.

Toast the saffron, stirring over low heat, in a dry skillet until fragrant, then stir in the clam juice. Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 6 minutes. Set saffron broth aside to cool. Whisk together the aj amarillo, saffron broth, orange juice, and lime juice in a large bowl. Stir in diced and chopped vegetables and herbs.
Now it's time to poach the seafood. Have the bowls of ice water ready. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise. Remove any tough muscles from the sides of the scallops. Poach shrimp in 4 quarts simmering salted water, stirring occasionally until just cooked through, 40 seconds. Scoop out shrimp with a slotted spoon and add to one bowl of ice water. Return water to a simmer and poach scallops the same way, transferring them to the second bowl of ice water and discarding the cooking water. Drain the seafood well and toss it in the saffron broth mixture. Season with salt and your favorite hot pepper sauce to taste. (We used a fruity habanero chile sauce.) Chill the ceviche, covered, 1 hour and serve garnished with sliced jalapeños and a sprig of cilantro.

Weight Management
Facts about obesity:
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, about 17 percent of children ages 6 to 11 in the United States are considered overweight and 17 percent of teenagers (ages 12 to 19) are overweight. More people are now overweight than 15 years ago. This increase is seen in both sexes and all ages. Individuals who are obese as adolescents will most likely remain obese as they become older.
What is obesity?
Obesity is defined as a generalized accumulation of body fat. Obesity is determined by measuring both the height and weight of the child. A child or adolescent is considered obese if he/she is significantly over the ideal weight for his/her height. Overweight is defined as increased body size with increased lean body mass and without excess accumulation of body fat. A uniform standard to separate obesity from overweight has not been established. Research studies suggest that overweight children and adolescents may become overweight adults.
What causes children and teens to become overweight?
The following are some of the factors that may contribute to overweight adolescents:
- easy availability of food, especially high-calorie snack food
- parents' attitudes towards food
- an increase in the eating of fast-foods
- using food as a reward or to change behaviors
- lack of exercise
- television watching and snacking
- not knowing how to eat healthy
- heredity (the size of parents and other family members )
Weight management:
The basis of treatment for obesity in children and adolescents involves diet changes and exercise. It is important for parents and the adolescent to be ready and willing to make the change. Generally, weight loss is not recommended for babies and young children who are still growing and developing. The goal of treatment for these children is to maintain their weight while they continue to grow taller. Weight reduction may be recommended for obese adolescents who have completed their growth. The following are some of the general guidelines that may be followed in treating your child and adolescent:
For children under 2 years of age:
- The goal is to slow down the rate of weight gain, not to lose weight.
- Decrease the amount of juice to 4 ounces a day.
- Limit the amounts of high-calorie foods, such as desserts, puddings, and ice cream.
- Use a pacifier in-between feedings to help satisfy the child's need to suck on something.
- See a nutritionist.
- Monitor weight gain regularly.
For children between 2 and 7 years of age:
- The goal for this age group is to maintain a baseline weight, not to lose weight. As the child grows taller, a slow decrease in weight may be noticed.
- After the age of 2, it is permissible to reduce the amount of fat in the child's diet.
- Increase the child's intake of grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- Decrease the intake of high-calorie foods and desserts.
- Use low-fat dairy products.
For children older than 7 years of age:
- The goal is to maintain baseline weight initially, and then add slow changes in eating and exercise to achieve slow weight loss as recommended by your child's physician.
- At this age, a child or adolescent should follow adult guidelines, and limit fat intake.
- Eat a variety of foods that are low in calories. Consider the following:
- Your child needs enough calories to maintain his/her energy level, but no more than he/she can burn off. This is called an energy balance.
- If he/she takes in more calories than he/she burns, he/she gains weight.
- If he/she takes in fewer calories than he/she burns, he/she loses weight.
- If he/she balances the two, he/she maintains his/her weight.
- Even when dieting, however, calories should not be cut back so much that your child's energy needs are not met. The number of calories your child needs depends primarily on age, gender, and activity level.
- Your child needs enough calories to maintain his/her energy level, but no more than he/she can burn off. This is called an energy balance.
- Decrease consumption of high-fat foods.
- Eat more vegetables and fruits.
- Eat less sweets, candy, cookies, chips, and sodas.
- Change to skim milk.
- Refer to support groups.
As a parent, what can I do to help manage obesity?
- Do not use food as a reward. Use other activities as a reward for good behavior.
- Have family meal time and snack times.
- Provide only healthy options for your child to choose from. For example, stock in the refrigerator apples or yogurt, rather than cookies and pies.
- Have the entire family become involved on a healthy eating plan, not just the child or adolescent who is overweight.
- Encourage activities that promote exercise, such as riding a bike, walking, or skating.

If you're something of a film buff like me, then you've probably guessed all of the movies included in this little iOS game called Guess the Movie. And if you're anything like me, then you're probably left wanting more. Well, I'm glad to report that there is, indeed, more.
The popular movie-themed guessing game has just been updated with more content and therefore more movies to guess.
The latest version of Guess the Movie introduces not one, not two, not even three, but four new categories.
A couple of the new categories are slight variations on the game's mechanic involving guessing movies based on their minimalist posters. The Animals category challenges you to guess movies based on the animals that figure prominently in them. And the Classic category dares you to identify classic films through simple renditions of their respective indelible images.
The other couple of categories, on the other hand, are markedly different. The Pictionary category lets you guess movies in the style of the famous guessing word game that inspired the name of the category. And the Characters category lets you guess movies based on their respective main characters, which seem to have been depicted in Guess the Movie in the manner of "South Park."
The latest version of Guess The Movie is available now in the App Store for free. It's compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 4.0 or later. For some reason, though, the game hasn't been optimized for iPhone 5 and the fifth-generation iPod touch.

Report raises concern about security at Wyoming Capitol
May 17, 2012 - The Associated Press
CHEYENNE -- A security assessment of the State Capitol building in Cheyenne questions the state's ability to respond to or prevent a violent incident.
Specifically, the assessment advised that Wyoming should increase its security staffing levels if it wants to continue the Capitol's open environment.
The security assessment was performed by Colorado law enforcement agencies, including its State Patrol and Office of Homeland Security, who visited Cheyenne during the past legislative session.
The full report is confidential because of its sensitive security details.
Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Klief Guenther briefed lawmakers on some of the assessment's findings during a recent legislative meeting.
He said possible solutions include adding security checkpoints or metal detectors or boosting security staff. Currently nine full-time troopers are responsible for patrolling the Capitol.

ON THIS PAGE: You will learn about how doctors describe a cancer's growth or spread. This is called the stage. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
Staging is a way of describing where the cancer is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting other parts of the body. Doctors use diagnostic tests to determine the cancer's stage, so staging may not be complete until all the tests are finished. Knowing the stage helps the doctor to decide what kind of treatment is best and can help predict a patient's prognosis (chance of recovery).
Basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma rarely spread to other parts of the body. On rare occasions, the patient's lymph nodes (tiny, bean-shaped organs that help fight infection) may be removed to determine if the cancer has metastasized. The doctor may perform other tests, including blood tests, chest x-rays, and imaging scans of the liver, bones, and brain, but this is uncommon.
Information about the cancer's stage will help the doctor recommend a treatment plan. The next section helps explain the treatment options for this type of cancer. Use the menu on the side of your screen to select Treatment Options, or you can select another section, to continue reading this guide.

OOTD: Floral crush
February 12, 2011
♥ Cardigan: Dunnes *** Blouse: Topshop *** Tank top (underneath): Primark *** Skirt: Dunnes *** Shoes: Dunnes *** Necklace: Dunnes *** Bracelet: Primark *** Headband: ASOS ♥
Its a little after 12am and pouring rain outside right now, but the sun was shining earlier when I wore this outfit, promise! It was lovely to see a little sunshine over the past few days so this outfit is inspired by the upcoming spring season (hurry up and arrive already, please!) I'm enjoying passing by the clothing rails full of pretty floral prints in stores at the minute. Even if i'm not buying anything, its lovely to be surrounded by them.
The blouse that i'm wearing photographs incredibly bad. I never had trouble photographing one of my outfits until today! I wish the pictures would show just how amazing it looks but sadly my flash ruined them. It looks very crumpled in the pictures but in person it looks cute and dainty. Ahh. The close up, non-flash pictures show are a better indication. I paired it with a skirt I bought in Dunnes recently.. which I bought with the intention of keeping until summer, but I couldn't resist! I got this skirt in a size 16, on the same day I tried on a skirt in Primark in a size 18 and it wouldn't zip up the back! I really think both of those stores have very inconsistent sizing so if any of you non-Irish/UK ladies are buying those brands online be sure to ask the seller for measurements!
(click for full size - Its quite difficult to communicate with new friends who don't actually like to talk. )

SO TRUE about primark clothes. i took a dress back the other day which fit perfectly, exchanged it for the same dress in the same szie (it was faulty) and it doesn't fit? like properly won't even zip up.

Ah, you look absolutely stunning. I love the colour of the cardigan, it looks so good with the colour of the skirt & blouse.ReplyDelete
I totally get what you mean about inconsisent sizing, sometimes I can be a 14 & then in other places stuff that's a size 18 doesn't even fit. It doesn't make sense and is so annoying!

So it started like this: with surprising speed I had gone from one Dalek on the filing cabinet, to a Dalek and a My Little Pony on the filing cabinet, to an array of heroes fighting evil on the filing cabinet and now all I wanted was a Sherlock Holmes to join their ranks.
I'm not allowed to post links, but I found the little chap made by Accoutrements. Not great, but I appreciated that he's based on the canon rather than any of the screen incarnations. He would have been fine… but there's no Watson!
I refuse to have Holmes wandering about my filing cabinet all alone.
So I thought, maybe I can get some other besuited action figure and, you know, paint on a moustache.
But I soon realised I was never going to find anything of the right size, so gave up on the little Holmes as I fell into a rabbit hole of custom action figures and Hot Toys and Sideshow and BBI and … others …
My conclusions are these.
I really, really want a Holmes and Watson.
1) I don't see any way of doing this that doesn't involve buying 1/6 figures and appropriate heads and dressing them in Victorian clothing and I am up for that. However,
2) I'm poor. So this is probably going to have to happen second-hand/via eBay
So, I think I've found some heads on eBay that could work (do most makes of head fit other makes of body?) and some bodies I could afford – but what about their relative sizes? I want a taller Holmes and a shorter Watson (preferably Holmes would be thin and Watson stockier but that's not too important).
I think the Hot Toys Narrow Shoulder body (again, I wish I could post links!) should work for Holmes, and I know it's taller than the "slim" body in the same range. But I'm having trouble finding an affordable slim body that comes with hands and feet and wouldn't involve sky-high shipping costs. Are there any other body sculpts out there that are a little shorter than the HT Narrow body, or can anyone suggest any other combinations?
If anyone knew where to get some decent 1/6 Victorian clothing, that would be great too.
