Geographic Range
Falco biarmicus is found as far north as the central/eastern Mediterranean region, extending south throughout most of Africa. Primarily a sedentary species, F. biarmicus does not migrate, though extensive wandering is frequently observed in Africa, especially in juveniles and non-breeding adults. In fact, ringed individuals have been recovered as far as 1528 km from their breeding territory. Lanner falcons are also known to move according to weather patterns, they move into desert areas after rain and out of forested areas during mist/heavy rain. (BirdLife International, 1999; del Hoyo, et al., 1994)
- Biogeographic Regions
- palearctic
- ethiopian
Falco biarmicus is found in habitats varying from flat, dry areas near sea level to wet, forested mountains as high as 5000 m. Lanner falcons require large open or lightly wooded hunting areas, as well as rocky formations such as cliffs for nesting. However, F. biarmicus is also known to nest in trees and abandoned structures, as well as near the ground in desert areas. (BirdLife International, 1999; "Lanner Falcon - Falco biarmicus", 2003)

Physical Description
Falco biarmicus is a medium-sized falcon, ranging from 35 to 50 cm long with a wingspan of 90 to 110 cm. The females are heavier, weighing from 700 to 900 g, whereas the males typically weigh from 500 to 600 g. The backs of adult lanner falcons are slate gray, juveniles are brown; both adults and juveniles have off-white or reddish-brown undersides streaked with gray. Northern subspecies have undersides spotted with black; southern subspecies lack spotted undersides. The head is reddish-brown or white with a black 'moustach' stripe. Females typically have darker coloration than males. (del Hoyo, et al., 1994; Lasnier, 2003)

Relatively little information is available about the mating system of Falco biarmicus. Falco biarmicus is monogamous; both males and females engage in elaborate flying and loud crying as part of the courtship display. (del Hoyo, et al., 1994)
- Mating System
- monogamous
The breeding season for Falcon biarmicus varies significantly throughout its range. In southern Europe and northern Africa, the laying period is February through May. In the Sahara, western and northeastern Africa, the laying period is from January through March. In east, central and south Africa, the laying period is from June through November. Nesting habitat also varies; typical sites include abandoned raptor or heron nests, in trees, cliff faces, on the ground (desert areas) and buildings. A brood typically includes 3 to 4 eggs with an incubation period of around 32 days, fledging occurs in 35 to 47 days. (del Hoyo, et al., 1994)

There is little information about parental investment in Falco biarmicus. Eggs are incubated for around 32 days, and chicks fledge in 35 to 47 days. The male hunts alone early on, but the female assists in hunting later in the nesting season and during the fledgling period. Both the male and female take turns incubating the eggs.

We do not have information on the lifespan of Falco biarmicus at this time.
Falco biarmicus is known for its swiftness and agility in flight, as well as its loud, repeated "kak-kak" call. Lanner falcons are solitary birds outside of mating season, though they are frequently observed hunting in pairs when pursuing larger prey. Cooperative hunting is also used to teach their young how to catch prey in flight. They are diurnal and do not migrate, but are known to range hundreds of miles from their breeding territory. (del Hoyo, et al., 1994; Leonardi, 2001; "Falcon - Lanner", 2003)
Falco biarmicus is known to compete with Falco peregrinus, peregrin falcons, for both prey and nest sites. It also competes with ravens (Corvus corax). (Leonardi, 2001)
- Key Behaviors
- flies
- diurnal
- motile
- solitary
- territorial
Home Range
We do not have information on home range for this species at this time.
Communication and Perception
Like all raptors, Falco biarmicus relies mostly on its keen sense of sight to hunt prey both in the air and on the ground. It has a variety of calls for different situations and communicates with other individuals acoustically, especially in territorial disputes and courtship rituals. It is known for its loud, repeated "kak-kak" call. ("Falcon - Lanner", 2003)
- Communication Channels
- acoustic
Food Habits
Lanner falcons are carnivores. They feed on a variety of terrestrial and flying prey. Their main food sources are smaller birds, especially quails and columbids. Falco biarmicus also feeds on lizards, rodents, and bats, as well as spiders and scorpions in desert areas. If competition for these food resources is high, or locusts and other flying insects are swarming, F. biarmicus will also gorge itself on insects. (del Hoyo, et al., 1994; "Falcon - Lanner", 2003)
- Primary Diet
- eats terrestrial vertebrates
- Animal Foods
- birds
- mammals
- reptiles
- insects
- terrestrial non-insect arthropods
There are no known predators of adult Falco biarmicus, and the species thrives in any area where it is left alone by humans. However, F. biarmicus eggs are vulnerable to scavengers that feed on them, as well as humans who rob nests for the pet/falconry industry. ("Falcon - Lanner", 2003)
Ecosystem Roles
Limited information is available about the role of this species in its ecosystem . Falco biarmicus> shares a niche with many other raptors, and competition between lanner falcons and peregrin falcons is high. Both feed primarily on small birds, however, F. biarmicus is able to adjust its diet accordingly if competition for this resource is too high. Lanner falcons are likely hosts to mites that commonly infest other birds; apart from this relationship, the main role of lanner falcons in an ecosystem is that of predators at the top of the food web. (del Hoyo, et al., 1994)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Falco biarmicus is popular in the sport of falconry, and young birds and eggs are often taken from their natural habitat by humans. Over the past decade the numbers of breeding pairs of F. biarmicus have severely declined due to the harvesting of eggs by humans. (BirdLife International, 1999; "Falcon - Lanner", 2003)
- Positive Impacts
- pet trade
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Falco biarmicus does not usually affect humans in any way. However, when it inhabits agricultural areas, F. biarmicus frequently hunts domesticated fowl and poultry, typically chickens and ducks. This, unfortunately, prompts farmers to persecute F. biarmicus in order to protect their livestock. ("Falcon - Lanner", 2003)
Conservation Status
It is estimated that fewer than 1400 breeding pairs of Falco biarmicus exist in the world. Although not listed on the IUCN Red list, it is classified in Appendix II by CITES and is considered endangered at the European level. The population of F. biarmicus has decreased severely in the last fifty years due to destruction and loss of habitat, as well as human persecution (hunting, theft of eggs, and disturbance of nesting sites). (BirdLife International, 1999)

- desert or dunes
in deserts low (less than 30 cm per year) and unpredictable rainfall results in landscapes dominated by plants and animals adapted to aridity. Vegetation is typically sparse, though spectacular blooms may occur following rain. Deserts can be cold or warm and daily temperates typically fluctuate. In dune areas vegetation is also sparse and conditions are dry. This is because sand does not hold water well so little is available to plants. In dunes near seas and oceans this is compounded by the influence of salt in the air and soil. Salt limits the ability of plants to take up water through their roots.

Lots of good folks locally feel pretty strongly about college football. Some of them are convinced that Wichita State University made a wrong-headed move when it punted its own football program into the trash bin of history at the end of the 1986 season.
There is always a conspicuous absence of WSU on the sports pages this time of year as Kansas State and KU become the subjects of endless speculation about this season's football teams.
The unprecedented nastiness of this season's primary campaign seems noteworthy. Has there ever been a political atmosphere as charged with negativity as this one? Have there ever been so many candidates who've had so little to say about what they are actually in favor of? Okay, we did hear some platitudes about "Kansas values." But mostly we heard negative messages telling us what they were against. They were against President Obama. They were against health care reform. They were against taxation. They were against undocumented immigrants.
So my family went out of town for a week and Wichita had a whole lot of rain during that time. There was the usual indicator of too much moisture in Wichita yards: a mushrooming bumper crop of political yard signs.
The recent death of Tom Leahy Jr., better known as Major Astro to Kansas baby boomers, caused my mind to rocket into the past. The good major wore his astronaut jumpsuit while hosting a daily afterschool kiddie show on local TV from 1962 to 1973. Wally Gator, Touche Turtle and Felix the Cat cartoons were beamed earthward to all the little tykes watching their rabbit-eared TV sets. Many were, no doubt, clutching their membership cards to the Major Astro Club.
Had a garage sale the other day. Swore I'd never have another one 2 sales ago. But stuff just kept piling up and something had to be done. So my wife, my daughter and I spent a long 90-degree June day saying over and over, "Yes, we'll take 50 cents instead of 75 cents for that."
I was going to do another commentary today about British Petroleum's oil massacre of the Gulf of Mexico. But when I sat down to write it and began thinking about the leak which is a mile below the surface of the water, my thoughts were interrupted by a BP official who burst into my brain and quickly waved me away from the scene."You can't consider this at all," he ordered. "This entire area of thought is off-limits to anyone except employees of BP. Cease all mental cogitation on this subject immediately."
The amazing thing about the tragic BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico for me, is not that it happened. It's not the gargantuan size of the spill itself. And it's not that the three corporations involved are each blaming the other. What's unbelievable about this disaster is the fact that the drilling industry had no plan for what to do in the event that such a spill took place. They seem to be scrambling and improvising in a way that reminds me of a three-year-old who shattered Mom's favorite flower vase all over the kitchen floor while trying to get to the cookie jar.

backwards compatibility - xbox360
sup my fellow CA peoples. I just had one questoin. Is xbox360 backwards compatable (cant spell that word) with old xbox games? I want a ps3, but I decided I might get an xbox360 becuz of elder scrolls and perfect dark, and i guess dead rising too. I'll prolly get a ps3 maybe a year after it comes out :/Da Vinci was a concept artist
11/30/03-11/30/05. Thanks CA, for all the great inspiration. When will I update? I dont know...

Of course... this is a rather... interesting choice of words. But I don't think its as "bad" as some people portray it. Because of the considerable difference in architectures from the Xbox to the 360 emulation is hard. Not even all PS1 games work on the PS2. So depending on how certain games took advantage of the xbox's features they will be harder than to emulate on the 360.
This is more of a statement that protects their reputation. If they just said "backwards compatability" rest assured the one fan of some game would spew fire and brimstone all over the net. Just like anything "wrong" that Sony does spreads like wildfire.
I would be rest assured that most games will work. Most likely there will be a list of games that DON'T work instead of a list of ones that do...
The one game I am worried about is Panzer Dragoon Orta... if that game isn't compatable I will be spew fire and brimstone. I am optimistic though and I don't think they will ignore cult classics in favor of just measuring the money made.
June 6th, 2005 #3
Currently they're trying to get most games to work. But very high chances it'll be just the popular titles. Realistically speaking, its gonna be the newer titles....and the older popular ones.
There are 3 sides to every story. Yours, mine and THE TRUTH.
June 6th, 2005 #4
Well I have a ps2 right now. But I am interested in getting an xbox360 , but I would also like to get some good old xbox games like panzer orta, halo(1-2), Ninja Gaiden, DOA games, and others that don't come into mind right now. So its gonna suck if they dont put those games eh? Well they ain't that dumb. I am really looking forward to playing some good perfect dark zero when it comes out!

Is This Store The Perfect Place for Mitt Romney to Shop?
"I shop at Waitrose because I can't stand being surrounded by poor people." That was one of the Romney-like responses when Waitrose, an upmarket UK store, ran a disastrous Twitter campaign.
"I shop at Waitrose because I can't stand being surrounded by poor people." This answer set the tone as Waitrose shoppers responded to a Twitter campaign.
Waitrose is an upmarket store, only found in upmarket neighbourhoods – and with highly upmarket prices. Yet it is successful and the marketing department launched a Twitter campaign asking customers to tweet their endings to the sentence, "I shop at Waitrose because . . ." They were hoping for pats on the back and useful data to help them plan promotions.
The answers revealed that shoppers know very well what Waitrose stands for. It is an elite organisation, totally out of touch with the main stream. The perfect place for Mr & Mrs Romney to browse!
Here are a few more sample responses, "I shop at Waitrose because when you fill up with helicopter fuel there is a 10% discount off champagne. Well, there is a recession on."
"I shop at Waitrose because Clarissa's pony just won't eat "Walmart "value hay."
"I shop at Waitrose because the Queen likes their swan burgers."
"I shop at Waitrose because then people know I'm rich and automatically better than them."
For the grammatically minded, "I shop at Waitrose because at the checkout they say "10 items or fewer, not less, and these things are important.
Of course Waitrose had to say they "enjoyed" most of the responses. But the important point is that in the US and UK, the top and bottom parts of society are growing further and further apart. Even in the recession the top half is doing very well, prospering from benefits like low interest rates and mortgages – while people on average incomes struggle to get on the property ladder.
Through tax havens round the world the rich have more opportunities to dodge taxes and guard their wealth. The comments by Romney about freeloaders who live off the state reflect a wide spread attitude amongst the wealthy, who are fed misinformation about the less well off.
The huge irony about the Romney Presidential campaign is that it is beginning to fall behind – in the race to attract funds. Romney is running out of money as backers read the writing on the wall and rush to back Obama. There is still a long way to go but on current form that simply means Romney has more time to fall into traps – and dig plenty of his own.
In the UK, David Cameron's government is revealing that it is out of touch and out of its depth – failing to deal with the recession. Voters in the US are being given a a worrying picture of what life would be like under President Romney.

An unforgettable story of two courageous women brought together by one extraordinary little girl
Betty Jewel Hughes was once the hottest black jazz singer in Memphis. But when she finds herself pregnant and alone, she gives up her dream of being a star to raise her beautiful daughter, Billie, in Shakerag, Mississippi. Now, ten years later, in 1955, Betty Jewel is dying of cancer and looking for someone to care for Billie when she's gone. With no one she can count on, Betty Jewel does the unthinkable: she takes out a want ad seeking a loving mother for her daughter.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, recently widowed Cassie Malone is an outspoken housewife insulated by her wealth and privileged white society. Working part-time at a newspaper, she is drawn to Betty Jewel through her mysterious ad. With racial tension in the South brewing, the women forge a bond as deep as it is forbidden. But neither woman could have imagined the gifts they would find in each other, and in the sweet young girl they both love with all their hearts. Deeply moving and richly evocative, The Sweetest Hallelujah is a remarkable tale about finding hope in a time of turmoil, and about the transcendent and transformative power of friendship.

Originally written on isportsweb.com | Last updated 9/27/13
On an emotional night in the Bronx, where fans saw Mariano Rivera's final game at Yankee Stadium, the Rays won their seventh straight. Alex Cobb pitched for seven innings, allowing no runs and three hits, leading his team to a 4-0 victory. Tampa Bay is now 12-3 in their last fifteen games, and appear to be red-hot heading towards October. They have completed sweeps of two AL East competitors in a row, and are on their way to clinching one of the coveted Wild Card spots. Will Myers (Photo credit: Elsa/Getty Images) The magic number for the Rays is two games, and with a three-game series against the last place Toronto Blue Jays to start tonight, the Rays seem to be in a pretty good position. The Rays have been able to last in an extremely competitive Wild Card race that has spanned over the course of the last moth of the season. With the New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles, and Kansas City Royals all eliminated from playoff contention, it is now a three-man race for the top two spots. The Rays hold the first spot with a one game lead over the Cleveland Indians, and the Texas Rangers sit one game behind them as we enter into the last three games of the season. Looking ahead the Rays should be very confident in the way that they have played over the course of the past couple of weeks. This was a team that looked as though it was going to self-destruct towards the end of the season, but got hot at precisely the right time. After their performances against both the Orioles and the Yankees, Tampa Bay has sent the message to the rest of the American League that they will be contenders in the postseason. Before that, however, the Rays will want to focus on finishing first in the Wild Card standings in order to host their one game playoff at Tropicana Field.

Not at all. It's funny though, I was just about to post the news when I hit preview and scrolled down to check if anyone had beat me to it... and sure enough, someone had!
I too am suprised by the mention of a "hybrid extended version" of "The Measure of a Man." It does seem as if certain extended scenes weren't located on film and they decided to do a (probably seamlessly branched) version with upconverted SD.
And I'm puzzled by the "Q Who?" commentary. Forgive my ignorance, but who is Don Berman? Anyone know?

Busta Rhymes has been interested in the dynamics at work behind secret societies for some time now, but even he thinks that hip-hop's fascination with the Illuminati is spiraling out of control. During his visit to "RapFix Live," Busta explained why he addressed the topic on his upcoming album E.L.E. 2, adding that it was surreal to hear Jay Z being questioned about it during a radio interview.
"I've always been intrigued by the concepts, ideas and the possible realities of secret societies, hierarchy governments and people that really pull the strings that you don't see," Busta explained. "That's been a lining in all of my albums, that's why they're called The Coming, When Disaster Strikes, E.L.E., Anarchy, etc."
"When you talk about these things and it stirs conversation that's one thing. But within the last four years, it became mainstream American dialog. When you can listen to Angie Martinez interview Jay Z on Hot 97 and ask if it's true that he's a member of the Illuminati…it's so funny to me to hear that on a radio station of that format, early in the afternoon, being asked to a fellow Brooklynite from Marcy Projects — that has gotten to a level of profound success and accomplishments — if he is an Illuminati member."
Busta, who says he's a "diligent researcher" of the subject, adds that it's important to have the conversation, but that conversation needs to be grounded in reality. "I think the perspectives need to be fined tuned, so that there is proper understanding. If that isn't fixed, I think this will continue to spiral out of control and become stupid," he said. "That agenda is so much bigger than what we could possibly imagine or fathom, just from science alone, the [thought] that they might be able to control the way we think — the last thing they're gonna need is some rappers' dialect on a beat to influence anything."
J. Cole, for one, shares Busta's sentiments, rapping on Born Sinner's "Villuminati." "…Keep on asking me about the Illuminati, is you stupid n—-? Young black millionaire, old white billionaires/I'm sure that they can do without me."

You can also find beautiful jewellery, trendy fashion and gorgeous bouquets of freshly-cut flowers.
Olive Green Cat ‒ an ode to creative Cape Town
I am often stopped mid-sentence, mid-meeting, mid-shopping, mid-flight and mid-just-about-anything by someone wanting to know where I got my unique wedding ring from. To say that it has become a bit of a talking point is putting it mildly. I am always only too happy to rave about my favourite Cape Town creatives – Olive Green Cat. Weird name, I know, but it says something about this brilliant design trio: unique, tongue-in-cheek, contemporary, individualist and, above all, passionately Capetonian.

"These labels are ADORABLE! I used the suggested fonts for my name and address and they were perfect, the design is really sweet and dainty and they are of good quality."
"The assortment of colored balloons were rather cheerful in appearance to celebrate a happy occasion. The blend of the background and print went very well together. I think my choice of quality and your product shows that I take pride in sending a touch of care as well as attraction to the envelope. This label is suitable for any age..."
"Easy to customize label. I used mine as a book plate. As described, the colors are vibrant. The "review/edit" process was quick. The delivery was also quick- just a few days. I even ordered more labels & had the new order even faster. This was an inexpensive way to get the exact book plate I needed. I will definitely order through Tiny Prints again and will recommend it to my friends. Glad I found this website."
"I just love this address label. I have ordered Sheer Flowers twice now. The pattern and colors are so happy and cheerful and everything about it is upbeat. Love it!"
"ordered these to match the "officially growing: begonia" birthday invitations. they match perfectly. very happy with my purchase."

A lot of attention has been paid to big men this summer. Dwight Howard went to Los Angeles in the trade that sent Andrew Bynum Philadelphia. Roy Hibbert and Brook Lopez got max contract extensions. Even Omer Asik turned heads as part of Houston's July poison pill parade. It has been a big summer for big men, but in Utah, they are more focused on how much smaller one of their key front-line guys is. Second-year center Enes Kanter has come into camp a changed man. It's already been reported how Kanter looks different, having shed 51 pounds since leaving Turkey and toning up his 6-foot-11 frame during the offseason. He's also added to his offensive repertoire as he showed in the opening exhibition game, when he scored 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in just 24 minutes of action Monday night at Golden State. A smaller Kanter is a big development for the Jazz, who boast potentially one of the best front-lines in the NBA. As noted in our kick off Jazz Day post, Utah has Al ...

I don't understand boredom (~°¤°~)
Hi, hopefully you see something that sparks your interest, if not, good luck in your search for that special someone! A little about myself… I consider myself caring, trustworthy, honest, down to earth, open, loving, fun, considerate, spontaneous at times, easy to get along with, an a good listener, with a good sense of humor! ;-) I love to laugh and goof around sometimes, but also know when to be serious, or not! I tend to be sarcastic at times, so hopefully, you are too. Family is very important to me, and luckily, my parents, brother, and sister live pretty close. Who I'm looking for… Well, that's always a loaded question! It seems like we all have it planned out, all the way down to the nitty gritty. However, if you think about it, most people end up with someone completely opposite from who they were looking for. Are we too picky? Do we want THE perfect match? I'm not sure. All I know is that, in the end, I just want to be happy. That's all that really matters. So, below are some of the things I'm looking for in a man. These have been on my "list" for a long time. I'm sure that, subconsciously, I will always look for these things, but will make every effort not to limit my options. You never know who will walk into your life and change everything! I'm looking for a man I can never be bored with, just being with him would be enough. Someone that will not only be my partner, but my best friend. I want to miss him while I'm at work! Is that corny? J Oh well! I also want someone who has a good sense of humor, who is sincere, honest, and doesn't mind being open with me. I don't like assumptions, and communication is truly the key to every relationship. I want someone who is looking for a meaningful friendship that may lead to something more. I would love to find someone who also appreciates the outdoors, enjoys camping, hiking, going out on the boat, to the beach, parks, etc. I think some of the things that are important in any relationship are: chemistry, communication, honesty, trust, compromise, caring, loyalty, faithfulness, understanding, and consideration. Being handy and/or knowing how to cook is a plus! Being romantic doesn't hurt either ;-) If you're interested, send me a message, if not, good luck in your search!

When NASCAR comes to Martinsville, there are usually three guarantees. The first is that no matter what, the speedway will sell an incredible amount of their famous hot dogs. The second is that by the end of the race, nearly all the cars have some sort of damage to the body.
The third, which has become the norm, is the fact that when the win is on the line, it often comes down to Hendrick vs. Gibbs.
That was the case once again, but instead of it being Jimmie Johnson vs. Denny Hamlin, it ended up being Jimmie Johnson vs. Kyle Busch, as Hamlin is sidelined.
Throw in Clint Bowyer and you have nearly a mirror image of this race from one year ago.
But, unlike last year, there was no doubt of who was the one to beat. From the green flag, the No. 48 was on a rail. It seemed as though once that car got out front, the only way it was getting passed was either catch it in traffic or somehow beat it on pit road.
In the end, even with late restarts, there was no doubt that the car to beat was the Lowe's Chevrolet, as Johnson would become the first driver to repeat as a winner on the Sprint Cup tour.
Despite not being the favorite in the pool, two writers managed to guess correctly and earn their first win of the season. Everyone for the most part had a strong run, with just two finishing outside the top-10. That also means the points did not change much.
Here's how everyone stacks up following Sunday's STP Gas Booster 500:
Patti Rodisch (238) Jeff Gordon finished 3rd (0)
Rob Tiongson (230) Jeff Gordon finished 3rd (1)
Billy Fellin (211) Jimmie Johnson WON (1)
Rob Blount (207) Jimmie Johnson WON (1)
Michael Hirshbein (203) Kyle Busch finished 5th (1)
Sal Sigala Jr. (202) Brad Keselowski finished sixth (0)
Dustin Parks (189) Jeff Gordon finished 3rd (0)
James Broomhead (187) Clint Bowyer finished 2nd (0)
Ryan O'Hara (185) Jeff Gordon finished 3rd (0)
Kara Martin (181) Jeff Gordon finished 3rd (0)
Kelly Crandall (180) Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 24th (0)
Christopher Leone (172) Mark Martin finished 10th (0)
Misan Akuya (161) Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 24th (0)
Next Race: After all the short track calamity, it's time to have a trip to a bigger track. Better yet, it's time for a trip to a bigger track, and it be under the lights.
It makes a few folks think of a song, because for once it is certainly true. "The stars at night are big and bright...deep in the heart of Texas." Up next on the schedule for NASCAR, it's the first Saturday night shootout, where the winner gets a cowboy hat, a trophy shaped like a boot, and gets to fire off some six-shooters into the sky.
NASCAR is heading to the Texas Motor Speedway, where for sure everything is bigger.
Writers, it is time to cowboy up, and cowgirl up in some cases, as a Saturday night race means the heat is turned up. Your picks for the NRA 500 are due by Thursday, April 11, at 10 p.m. ET.

Arizona Wildcats
Cat Tracks: Wildcats rout Rebels
Hopefully for the Arizona Wildcats, what happened in Vegas won't stay in Vegas.
Visitors of the UNLV Rebels Saturday night, Rich Rodriguez's team dazzled, routing the opposition 58-13 behind 16 kicking points from Jake Smith and 397 yards rushing from Ka'Deem Carey, B.J. Denker and company.
The Wildcats got out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and the score was 45-6 by the time they entered the locker room at halftime. Denker got a pair of rushing touchdowns in the first 12 minutes of the game, turning a scramble into a 35-yard score for the game's first touchdown. Then, Carey returned to the field for the Wildcats, making his presence known in the second quarter with a 58-yard touchdown run.
Rodriguez laid off the throttle in the second half, when Arizona settled for a field goal in the third quarter and 10 points in the fourth.
The Wildcats improved to 2-0 with the win, after beating Northern Arizona last week and they play another non-conference opponent, University of Texas at San Antonio, next Saturday.
The Good:
Ka'Deem Carey was sensational in his return to the field, logging 171 yards and two touchdowns rushing, including his explosive 58-yarder.
The Bad:
Although B.J. Denker was once again effective as a rusher, gaining 63 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries for the Wildcats, his passing efforts were lackluster. Denker was 8-for-20 for 81 yards in the air on the night.
Jake Smith set Arizona's school record for points by a kicker Saturday, with 16.
Coming Up Next:
The Wildcats head back to Tucson to take on the UTSA Roadrunners, who are 1-1 after losing 56-35 to Oklahoma State Saturday.

Preserving deveopment potential around key Meredith intersection becomes priority
MEREDITH — When the Advisory Committee convened to address traffic congestion downtown met yesterday, it broadened its perspective from easing the flow of vehicles through the Rte. 3/Rte. 25 intersection to ensuring the redevelopment of the properties on the northern corners of the junction.
Last month the committee learned that nothing less than replacing the signaled intersection with a two-lane roundabout offered the most promising means of hastening the flow of traffic along the south and east corridor. However, a majority of the panel appeared to share concerns expressed by Rusty McLear of Hampshire Hospitality Holdings that a roundabout of sufficient size and appropriate configuration would severely limit if not altogether foreclose development of the adjacent lots.
The committee asked Gene McCarthy of McFarland Johnson, Inc., project manager for the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT), to assess the prospects of enhancing the traffic signals at the intersection. Yesterday McFarland reminded the committee that it had earlier rejected signalization, primarily because to maximize its effectiveness, Rte. 25 would require two additional lanes.
Nevertheless, McCarthy said that "this does work," explaining that the results of adjusting the traffic signals and widening the roadway would be superior to one-lane roundabout, but inferior to a two-lane roundabout. "It's not terrible, but it's not great," he remarked.
McLear pointed out that all the roundabout plans, except for the one-lane roundabout, would encroach of on lots surrounding the intersection. In particular, he said that the town would forego development worth between $6 million and $8 million if the lot on the northeast corner of intersection owned by Meredith Village Savings Bank were consumed by a roundabout. This, he indicated, would be a steep price to pay for alleviating congestion on summer weekends.
The committee then returned to an option it had previously rejected consisting of three one-lane roundabouts and a by-pass. The junction of Rte. 25 and Pleasant Street would be converted to a roundabout and a second roundabout would be built on Rte. 3, north of its intersection with Rte. 25. The two roundabouts would be connected by a roadway crossing Hawkins Brook and by passing the busy intersection, where the third, single-lane roundabout would be built.
John Edgar, director of Community Development, suggested this option might improve the flow of traffic without hindering development at the center of town. At the same time, he said it could improve the flow of local east-west traffic.
However, the price tag for the by-pass option is estimated at more than twice the $5 million DOT has allocated to the project.

Camp Resilience: New Gilford-based program offers respite & counseling services for veterans in need
GILFORD — Some 17 veterans who receive services from the Veterans Administration's Boston Medical Center spent the last two days in the Lakes Region taking part in outdoor adventures while also honing their skills in resume writing and searching for jobs.
The veterans were taking part in Camp Resilience, a "wounded warrior" pilot program being hosted by the recently-formed Patriot Resilient Leader Institute, whose mission is to provide veterans and injured first responders the opportunity to come to the Lakes Region for a brief respite of recreation, personal counseling, group seminars and team building.
The veterans, who are staying at the Gunstock Inn, spent Wednesday taking Segway tours and enjoying aerial treetop adventures at Gunstock Mountain Resort and Thursday morning went fishing and took boat tours of Lake Winnipesaukee before enjoying a cookout at Gilford Town Beach.
Sandwiched in between these outdoor adventures were job search and resume writing classes at Lakes Region Community College .
''We're having a great time while doing some self-esteem building,'' said Edward Mitchell, a Marine Corps veteran from South Boston who served in Lebanon in the 1980s, shortly after terrorist attack on a Marine barracks claimed 241 lives. He said that the resume building skills classes were particularly helpful.
Ray Gonsalves, 64, of East Providence, R,I., currently lives in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston. He served in Vietnam from 1968 through 1971 and is taking part in a program for homeless veterans. ''I've had some problems so I came to the VA for medical care and I can't say anything but good about the VA. There are great people who run the program which is probably one of the best in the country,'' said Gonsalves.
He said that he had problems maneuvering the Segway but surprised himself by the way he was able to climb through the aerial treetop adventures course at Gunstock.
John James, a Navy veteran who served aboard the U.S.S. George Washington nuclear submarine from 1973-79, said he has used Segways before and had no trouble with them. He said that the boat tour which went around Bear Island was enjoyable but a bit chilly on the way back in when the boat was headed into the wind.
He said that the interview skills course was ''designed to improve our marketability'' and was particularly helpful. ''I've had a lot of jobs but they were always with people who knew me. I've never gone through the interview process before and because of today's job market it's important to have those skills.''
Chris Page of Brighton, Mass., a Navy veteran, said visiting the Lakes Region was sort of like a homecoming as his family has a summer place near Melvin Village. ''I like New Hampshire and come up here a lot. But I feel a little guilty about having all these things done for us for free,'' said Page.
Frank Dawkins of Springfield, Mass., who has spent 16 years in the Army and the reserves, said he was in awe of the area's natural beauty. ''There's no landscape like this. I didn't catch any fish but t was so quiet out there I didn't mind. There's no sirens like there are all the time in Boston.''
Brian Sullivan of the North Shore area was one of the lucky fishermen in the group, landing a salmon which he brought ashore with him and which was cooked on the grill for lunch.
Gilford selectman John O'Brien and Don Morrissey, both Vietnam veterans who were helicopter pilots, and are members of the Patriot Resilient Leader Institute , said that the visit by the veterans had gone well and were grateful for the support that they received from places like the Gunstock Inn, Gunstock Mountain Resort, Silver Sands and Shaw's supermarket.
Morrissey said that currently, the PRLI has no funding other than board donations. Anyone wishing to learn more about this project or make a donation of financial support, goods or services may do so by visiting the group's website at www.prli.us or by calling Kurt Webber, PRLI president, at 520-3989. Financial donations may also be sent directly to the PRLI Account, c/o Bank of New Hampshire, 62 Pleasant Street, Laconia, NH 03246.

Scott Brown in city to salute Hope & Cynthia Makris
LACONIA — Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Scott Brown and his wife Gail awarded Cynthia and Hope Makris of the Naswa Resort the "Women for Brown Hero Award" yesterday as a way of recognizing them for the family's 80 years of being in business here.
Brown was in town yesterday as part of a day-long campaign tour through the state that ended with a night on the S/S Mount Washington for the annual Belknap County Republican Cruise.
He said he learned of the Makris family and their years of philanthropic work for military veterans through some of the people he works with who are involved in veterans' affairs.
Brown asked Cynthia Makris what specific challenges she faces as a business owner and she replied that if she had to provide health insurance for all 140 of her employees she would "be put out of business."
Makris, who is open from May through October, said she also has problems getting accurate information about the Affordable Health Care Act from her insurer because it keeps changing.
"It keeps changing for political purposes," replied Brown.
Makris also told Brown she had trouble finding local people who want to work and that many times when she does, they don't have the skills she needs. She said she also sees many cases of people who don't want to take jobs because they don't want to loose any of the state or federal benefits they already have.
Brown said he was very concerned about education and if elected wanted to work toward training and rewarding people who want to work for a living.
He said he wanted to meet the Makris's because he wants to help the small business people who are struggling with ever growing business cost but who continue to create jobs nonetheless.
Cynthia and Hope Makris are the second recipients of the Women for Brown Hero Award. The first was Janice Lahay of Windham, N.H.

Lipman says hospital tax deal would mean extra $4 to $6 million per year for LRGHealthcare
LACONIA — Henry Lipman, senior vice-president of LRGHealthcare, yesterday welcomed the agreement reached Thursday between the state and 25 of its 26 hospitals, by which the hospitals will withdraw litigation against the state while the state will resume funding to hospitals for uncompensated care and apply revenue from the Medicaid Enhancement Tax to Medicaid services.
Lipman said that without a settlement the 75 cents on the dollar Franklin Regional Hospital receives in remimbursement for the uncompensated care it provides was at risk. Meanwhile, when the Legislature sharply reduced reimbursements for uncompensated care in 2011, payments at Lakes Region General Hospitals shrank to only 12-percent of costs. Lipman said that reimbursements will rise in 2015 and approach 50-percent of costs the following year, estimating a return to the hospital of between $4-million and $6-million.
"This settlement is good for the state, for our hospitals, for our communities and for healthcare," Lipman said. But, he cautioned that the agreement reached yesterday still requires the approval of the Legislature, which will consider it on Wednesday, June 4.

Google announced today that they have struck a deal with Billboard and Nielsen to play a role in the calculation of their weekly music charts.
GetGlue Grows Up and Becomes Credible Measurement Tool
GetGlue Ranks Top Social TV Shows of 2011
A little while back, I questioned whether a social TV platform like GetGlue could someday replace the traditional Nielsen ratings system.
The jury is still out on the future of TV ratings, but GetGlue is dabbling in the social TV analytics world more and more. Their latest offering is a pretty interesting infographic that shows the top social tv shows (based on check-in), broken down in various categories.
Digital Finally Overtakes Physical Music in 2011
Here is an interesting read from Econsultancy about how digital music sales has surpassed physical music sales in 2011. Nielsen and Billboard teamed up for the report that showed 50.3% of all music sales to be digital.
Comcast Adds ABC and Fox to OnDemand Lineup
Could an App Like GetGlue Eventually Replace Nielsen?
After seeing the Facebook and Twitter check-ins for months, I had a little free time the other night and decided to try out GetGlue.
For those of you that don't know, GetGlue is a web/mobile social media app that allows you to check-in to a bunch of things- TV shows/movies you are listening to, a book you are reading, music you are listening to, a topic you are thinking about, etc. It is basically foursquare for everything but location.

From late night until dawn, watch for the 2015 Perseid meteor shower – August's famous shower of shooting stars. People always ask which direction they should watch to see a meteor shower. The answer is that any direction will do. It's true that the Perseid meteors appear to radiate from a single point in the sky. But you don't need to look toward this radiant point to see the meteors. Instead, the meteors will appear all over a dark night sky during the next several nights, especially between midnight and dawn. Still, it's fun to find the radiant. More about that below.
Before tonight's meteor shower even begins, look for the golden planet Saturn (and the star Antares) in the south to southwest sky as darkness falls. (From the Southern hemisphere, look for Saturn and Antares high overhead at nightfall. From either the Northern or Southern hemisphere,, don't expect a significant number of Perseid meteors to fall until after Saturn sets in your southwest sky (late evening from mid-northern latitudes or after midnight at southerly latitudes).
Typically, the most meteors streak the starry heavens during the predawn hours, offering perhaps up to 50 or more meteors per hour at mid-northern latitudes.
By astronomers' best estimates, the night of August 12-13 (mornings of August 12 and 13) will probably feature the most abundant display of Perseid meteors. But the night before (August 11-12) and after (August 13-14) should be fine for watching the usually reliable summer meteor shower. Will you see that many tonight? Only way to find out is to look. Find a dark sky away from pesky artificial lights, and lie down comfortably on a reclining lawn chair.
As evening deepens into late night, the meteor numbers will start to increase. The intensity will pick up after midnight, and the greatest numbers of meteors usually bombarding the sky in the dark hours just before dawn. A typical count is 50 an hour. You might see more.
Appreciably south of the equator, the count will be less – perhaps 10 to 15 meteors per hour. Also, at southerly latitudes, the first Perseids probably won't appear until midnight or the wee hours of the morning. That's because the constellation Perseus – the radiant point for the Perseid meteors – is a far northern constellation. Perseus rises earlier in the evening and climbs higher in the sky at northerly latitudes.
Mira the Wonderful, the famous variable star, may – or may not – be visible
That's the constellation Perseus the Hero at the top of this post. It's the reason this meteor shower is best between the hours of midnight and dawn. One way to think about it is this. The shower's radiant point – the point in the sky from which the meteors appear to radiate – needs to be above your horizon before you can see meteors. At this time of year, the constellation Perseus ascends appreciably high in the northeast by about midnight and highest in the sky before dawn. The Perseid meteor shower is named for this constellation.
Do you have to be able to identify the radiant point, or the constellation Perseus, to see the meteors? No. The meteors will appear in all parts of the sky – especially between midnight and dawn on the mornings of August 12 and 13. If – just for fun – you do want to spot Perseus, look first for the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia. The constellation Perseus is faint, but Cassiopeia is noticeable and can help you find it. If you do see a Perseid meteor, and trace the path of a Perseid meteor backward, you will find that it radiated from a point in the sky within the boundaries of the constellation Perseus.
Double Cluster in Perseus: Two star clusters
Many people look forward each summer to the Perseids. It's a great time to go camping. This shower always peaks around this time of year, and in years when the moon is out of the sky – like it is this year – this shower reliably produces 50 or more meteors per hour at its peak at northerly latitudes, or an average of about one a minute.
Fortunately, in 2015, the thin waning crescent moon coming up shortly won't intrude on this year's Perseid smeteor hower.
Bottom line: The bright starlike object near tonight's moon is really a planet, Venus. You can also find Saturn this evening. Late night or between midnight and dawn, find a dark, open spot away from pesky artificial lights, sprawl out comfortably on a reclining lawn chair and enjoy the best nights of the Perseid shower. The meteors will probably fall most abundantly – from anyplace worldwide – from about 2 a.m. until dawn on August 12 and 13. The morning of August 14 might feature a good display of Perseid meteors, as well.

Destiny - Devil's Lair Strike Gameplay
A Fireteam comes together in Destiny to strike at the heart of the Devil's Lair.
by Sarah Lynch on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
WARFRAME in FPS !!! Seriously all the customisation aspects, RPG and missions layouts reminds me of warframe ! But definitely looking out for this game.
Not really bought into the hype for this as yet. Game looks very impressive though. Enemy AI need a lot of work though they seem to be cannon fodder in this footage.
Don't know if they adjusted the sound mixing for the trailer, but the weapon sound volume is super low, making the weapons feel very underwhelming. Other than that, I guess I'd play a larger scale Borderlands
seems like bungie are just a one trick pony
they might as well just call this game "halo with ADS" and be done with it. looks exactly the same as halo. I`m not sold at all
Looks pretty cool. It would be nice to play a fun co-op adventure. The only thing I don't like is you have to wait for other players to revive you. You should be able to spawn back in after a few seconds without depending on other players to save you.
super lame music. gameplay looks funish though
Early preview press say that Destiny plays like Halo, after all these years of PlayStation fanboys criticizing Halo on Xbox
well after now knowing the Halo/Destiny comparisons are you PlayStation fanboys ok with this?
i remember reading that there will be no randomized loot. i find that dumb being that randomized loot is part of the adventure and judging from this video in a sense it will be open world but missions will be in smaller almost corridor like sections. i think this game is being to over hyped.
While I have nothing against "more Borderlands", this really does look like Borderlands with less flair.
The voice acting of that little robot drone seems really stiff and bored.
Sigh... need to break away from last gen, game seems to be held back
Peter Dinklage voice acting = 10/10 game of the year
Multiplayer pls
It's missing something.
Weapons are missing a bit of punch. Needs more oomph.
I think this is the first video of this game I've actually watched. Sad to say, it didn't impress me. To me, it looks like a combination of Halo and Borderlands, but in a bad way. I'll wait for it to be released before I make my final decision, but at this point in time, it doesn't look like I'll be picking it up.
For me, it has a bit too much of a similarity to borderlands. Doesn't mean its bad. But, doesn't truly grasp me as a must buy. Borderlands 2 is cheaper and is renowned for its gameplay.
I'm feeling the vibe of this game. Like Borderlands but different at the same time. This will be a definite buy from me no doubt along with Watch Dogs this year.
No third person? no play here.
Looks great. though, also looks kind of... easy.
did anybody notice peter dinklage voice
@BenderUnit22 I would say that it is halo with rpg elements. Borderlands may have focused on loot, but it lacked customization for your equipment.
@gottago42 Halo had loot, inventories, dungeons and massive TES style exploration?
@HaRdNiPs I really hate corridors :). But most games are like that now, they gotta push you into their cinematic sequences and stuff :P.
@dominoodle Isn't that how a robot usually sounds.
@dominoodle in case you didn't know this is the voice ofPeter Dinklage from Game of Thrones
@ffspyda That's the problem with in the early days of a new gen. I especially have an issue with that when it comes to open world games. There, so much more can be done with all the extra memory, it's not just the graphics.
Giant robots? :P
@sammoth yep, i thought so too, i really wanted to like this game but all i can think of was .. "ehh"
@origkillmachine They were probably using uber high leveled gear.
@eternal_napalm @gottago42 Well, Sony fanboys gave Titanfall the nickname "CoD with Mechs." So I guess this is "Halo with Loot."
@anarky23 @dominoodle There's tons of robots and AI in video games that have lots of personality.
@adro191 @dominoodle I love Tyrion, but his voice acting in this didn't impress me.
@Gelugon_baat @sammoth No just something. It hasn't had that Wow factor yet. Looks like a glorified HALO TBH.
@wallacom @eternal_napalm @gottago42 What with everyone hating of playstation for this game. its on Xbox to
Love your Thumbnail BTW

I know a lot of the fireworks threads are concentrating on comparisons of the show to Believe and complaints of the awful crowds. Suppose you actually are enjoying the fireworks to the fullest experience. Is there a particular part in the fireworks show that puts a sentimental lump in your throat or makes you misty-eyed? What do like most about the fireworks?
I always get a little misty-eyed when the zippy green shells go off and Peter Pan says, "I wish.. that I'll never have to grow up!" - maybe its because I've just graduated and I need a job! - and also when the soundtrack cuts in with Walt's speech. My favorite parts are the stretching elevator/hm sequence, the flaming red Mara castle, and the PotC scene. I always knew that the castle had evil agendas of its own, and who knew that the Matterhorn was a big pirate in disguise?
Your positive recollections?

I have to point out that Crooks and Liars got something wrong. They point out that an Alaska Republican said something incredibly stupid (surprise!), but they got what Charlie Huggins said wrong.
Huggins hails from Wasilla, and he wants middle schoolers subjected to DNA testing to see if they're going to grow up to be criminals.
No. We can't do that, obviously, because there is no genetic signature for criminality, so it would be stupid to suggest that. But Huggins wasn't stupid, he was mainly wicked. Here's what he actually said:
But I've seen their little chats; they're going to be promoting these dangerous games instead. Randi Harper was SWATed. Somebody is going to get seriously hurt in one of these false alarms.
We all know that Vox Day is a terrible, awful human being. How terrible? There is no depth to which he won't sink.
It's the Foodbabe opining on body chemistry.
For several years, I've started my day with warm lemon water and cayenne pepper. Lemon water is very alkaline and can stimulate the liver. It can change your taste buds so you don't crave sugary foods, and instead crave alkaline ones like fruits and vegetables. The cayenne pepper has been proven to boost your metabolism. But both of those ingredients together strengthen the immune system. I've gotten fewer colds because of following this habit. An acidic body promotes disease and inflammation. I try to make my diet mostly alkaline. And with water, you want to make sure it's not contaminated. Unfortunately, our water is contaminated with everything from chlorine to fluoride.
Ken Ham claims to have been reading
the science news. Oh, really?
Sometimes when I read the science news I just have to laugh. It seems that secular scientists are willing to believe anything, no matter how ridiculous, rather than admit the truth that they know in their hearts. There is a Creator (Romans 1:20–21). Well, in the news recently there was a story about scientists from the UK who reportedly found a "tiny metal circular object" in Earth's stratosphere, and they are now "suggesting it might be a micro-organism deliberately sent by extraterrestrials to create life on Earth."
James Theodore Stillwell III is very angry. He's angry at feminists.
According to Malcolm Gladwell, that means I can do open heart surgery! Any volunteers?
After my post yesterday about Mike Cernovich's idiotic recommendations — he claimed, and I quote,
If you're a straight man, you will not get HIV — he's been firing back pathetically.
Jimmy Kimmel put together a nicely scathing PSA on those damned stupid anti-vaxxers. Here it is:
Guess who got upset about it?
Mike Adams, the demented Natural Health Ranger. It's an amazing rant. He announces that he, and all the other people who refuse to prevent terrible diseases in their children, are just like gay and black people, because they're hated by bigots.
Really. He goes there.
Then he claims that the PSA is making fun of sick children, and shows photos of disfigured and dreadfully ill children, claiming they're all of kids damaged by vaccines.
I think it's obvious how fallacious his nonsense is, so I don't need to say more…especially since you can go read Orac, who definitely says more.
As pointed out in the comments, the RationalWiki has a good summary of Mike Adams' lunacy.

Twenty years on: Three love stories from Rwanda
In April 1994, the Rwandan genocide left an estimated 800,000 dead, most of them ethnic Tutsis. Haaretz hears the remarkable stories of three couples who have reconciled themselves with past horrors and found love and some form of redemption.
Text size
Twenty years ago, in the small, landlocked, east-central African country of Rwanda, members of the Hutu ethnic group turned on their neighbors, friends and family of the ethnic Tutsi group and began slaughtering them. Starting in early April of 1994, and during the course of the next 100 rainy days, an estimated 800,000 Tutsis and their moderate Hutu sympathizers were murdered.

Mark, governors, minister condemn suicide attacks on This Day, The Sun
Senate President David Mark, governors and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) yesterday condemned the suicide bomb attacks on This Day's and The Sun's offices in Abuja and Kaduna.
Mark, in a statement by his Special Adviser (Media)Mr. Kola Ologbodiyan, described the attacks as unfortunate.
Mark charged the perpetrators of the evil act to fear God.
He urged the media not to be deterred by the blast saying, "we are touched by the news of the bomb attack on your outfits by faceless individuals."
Mark said: "It is unjust, savage, dastard and evil. As a people, we must all join hands to contain these ugly acts in our midst. We must rise to the challenge of these devious attacks. This is basically an assault on the freedom of the press which every journalist in our nation laboured to achieve."
The Chairman Northern State Governors Forum (NSGF), Dr. Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu expressed shock and sadness at the multiple bomb attacks.
The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press secretary, Mallam Danladi Ndayebo, urged perpetrators of the dastardly act to respect the sanctity of human life while expressing their grievances.
He said: "No meaningful development can be achieved in an atmosphere of violence. In a country like Nigeria where the contributions of all able-bodied men are required to achieve rapid growth and development in all facets of life, attack on media houses is a big blow."
The governor advised the affected media organisations not to be deterred but should endeavor to keep the flag flying.
Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi condemned the bomb attacks.
The governor, in a statement by his spokesman, Dr. Festus Adedayo, said bomb attacks were getting to an absurd crescendo.
Ajimobi said the fact that the bombers, whose periodic attacks were against innocent people and churches, decided to carry the attack to newspaper houses, showed that they were incensed at the popular anger against their nefarious activities, which are daily reported by the media.
The governor said that it was extreme cowardice for the bombers to resort to killing people and destroying properties, saying that valiant people confront issues rather than making issues out of matters that can be settled through dialogue.
Ajimobi commiserated with the managements of the This Day and other affected newspapers.
He expressed the optimism that very soon, Nigeria would be rid of its "enemies within" who believe that taking up arms against their fellow man was a way to ventilate their grouse against the system.
Governors of the six Southsouth states also condemned the attacks.
In a joint statement issued in Asaba, the Delta State capital, the governors described the attacks as barbaric and cowardly.
While wondering the motive of the attacks, which coincided with their regional summit where the This Day's Publisher, Mr Nduka Obaigbena is playing a pivotal role, the governors urged the security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of the attacks are apprehended and made to answer for their heinous crime.
The governors said: "We totally condemn the bomb attacks on the premises of the This Day in Abuja and Kaduna State. It's barbaric, cowardly and condemnable.
"We call on security agencies to fish out the perpetrators of this heinous crime and bring the full weight of the law to bear on them."
The statement was signed by Governors Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State; Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State; Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State; Liyel Imoke of Cross River State; Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State and Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State.
Federal Capital Territory Minister Bala Mohammed condemned the suicide bomb blast.
Mohammed, who visited the Abuja scene, commiserated with Leaders and Company Limited, owners of This Day.

Now I know that's crazy...everyday and every week and every second we love our pets. I know when it comes to our dogs..I'm totally in love with them. But sometimes we all get a little busy and maybe not pet them as much as we should in a day..well this week is all about all the attention you can give your pet. I know it's Friday, but today pamper your pet. It's time to look at that bushy beautiful pet that welcomes you every day when you come into the door!
