Arm length linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus risk - study
By David Liu PHD
Wednesday Feb 29, 2012 (foodconsumer.org) -- An interesting study published recently in Diabetologia shows that people with shorter arm length are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
M.M. Smits and colleagues from University of Washington Seattle, WA found this association after they analyzed data from 658 second and third generation Japanese Americans (349 men and 309 women).
For the study, the researchers measured the total, upper, and forearm length and leg length (total and lower leg length) and also identified cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus by surveying subjects for their use of anti-diabetes medications and measuring fasting plasma glucose, or glucose at 2 hour.
Multivariate regression was used to establish possible associations between prevalence of type 2 diabetes and limb length while other possible confounders were also considered in the analysis.
The researchers found 145 subjects had diabetes. Using univariate analysis, they did not find any association. However, when other confounders were considered including age, sex, computed tomography-measured intra-abdominal fat area, height, weight, smoking status and family history of type 2 diabetes, an inverse association appeared between total arm length and upper arm length and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
To be exact, those who had the shortest total arm length were 51 more likely than those who had longer total arm length to develop type 2 diabetes. Similarly, those who have shorter total upper arm length were found at 44 percent higher risk for the disease.
However, forearm length, height, and leg length were not correlated with type 2 diabetes even after adjustment for other confounders.
The study suggests that risk of type 2 diabetes have something to do with factors associated with growth.
Vitamin D may be one of the factors that are linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Actually early studies have found vitamin D deficiency, which affects bone growth negatively, was linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. That is, people with low serum vitamin D levels were more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes.
People with type 2 diabetes can produce insulin. But they still can't control glucose levels with using anti-diabetes medications. The disease affects an estimated 26 million Americans.
There are many things people can do to prevent diabetes.

Western Kentucky HilltoppersPreview 2009 - Offense
2009 CFN WKU Preview |
2009 WKU Offense
Defense | 2009
WKU Depth Chart
What you need to know: The offense
sputtered and coughed all season long with no running game, not
enough pop in the passing game, and eight games with 13 points
or fewer. While there's some major rebuilding being done, helped
mostly by a great recruiting class and a youth movement, the
potential is there for far more production with the emergence of
a line that gets four starters back. The key will be to get
steady place from the quarterbacks with senior Brandon Smith
getting the first look and three freshmen, redshirt freshmen
Marcus Vasquez and Kawaun Jakes, and true freshman Courtney
Dalcourt, all speedy options who'll get their chance. The 1-2
rushing punch of Tyrell Hayden and Marell Booker has the
potential to be great if the line has a better year, while
veteran receiver Jake Gaebler should steady a mediocre group of
targets that needs help from the recruiting class.
Passing: Brandon Smith12-25, 47 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: Tyrell Hayden92 carries, 388 yds, 3 TD
Receiving: Jake Gaebler54 catches, 588 yds, 4 TD
Star of the offense:
Senior WR Jake Gaebler
Player who has to step up and become a star: Senior QB
Brandon Smith
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore TE Tristan Jones
Best pro prospect: Sophomore WR Bobby Rainey (as a kick
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Gaebler, 2) RB Tyrell
Hayden, 3) OT Wes Jeffries
Strength of the offense: Line Experience, Running Backs
Weakness of the offense: Quarterbacks, Proven Production
Projected Starter:
Senior Brandon Smith spent last year as a
reserve and mop-up option completing 12-of-25 passes for 47
yards while running for 31 yards. The 6-0, 200-pounder is a
smart player who has been waiting his turn for the last few
years, and now he appears to be ready to lead the attack, or at
least be the best early option, after completing 9-of-14 passes
for 121 yards and running for 49 yards and two scores in the
spring game. He doesn't have a big-time arm, but he's mobile,
knows what he's doing, and won't make a slew of big mistakes.
However, he has to be accurate and consistent.
Projected Top Reserves: Redshirt freshman
Marcus Vasquez was fantastic in the spring game missing
on just one pass and throwing for a touchdown, and now he
appears to be the clear No. 2 man in the equation and a threat
to push Smith out of the top job come fall. Extremely athletic,
the 6-2, 190-pounder is a great runner who brings even more
speed to the position than the quick Smith.6-3,
176-pound redshirt freshman Kawaun Jakes was a
good wide receiver prospect when he came to WKU, but he was a
high school quarterback who got his team to the Florida state
championship. Other schools wanted to put him at other
positions, but he has the basic tools, and the speed, to be a
dangerous quarterback. The third man in the mix early on, he
could get on the field as a pass catcher.How long will
it be before Courtney Dalcourt is ready? The
team's top recruit threw for 1,818 yards and 21 touchdowns and
ran for 1,079 yards and 14 scores in a special senior year that
earned him a finalist spot for the Kentucky Player of the Year
honors. The 6-0, 195-pounder doesn't have the size or the arm to
be an elite quarterback, and several schools wanted to convert
him to wide receiver or defensive back right away, but he'll get
his chances to earn the quarterback job right away. However, if
he's not the main man right away, he could be a receiver until
the job is open.
Watch Out For ... several looks at the various
quarterbacks. Smith gets the starting job by default, but he's
hardly expected to be a superstar. Vasquez, Jakes, and Dalcourt
are all likely to get honest chances to take over the job. The
coaching staff will go with whichever one gets the attack
Strength: Athleticism. Smith is quick and mobile,
while Vasquez and Jakes can move. The running game should take
over from time to time just to try to add a spark. The
quarterbacks will have to be accounted for at all times. If
Dalcourt is under center, the offense could become explosive.
Weakness: Throwing the football. The Hilltoppers only threw for
1,706 yards and nine touchdowns with 12 interceptions last year,
and now the quarterbacks are starting from scratch. Any
improvement from last year will be welcome, but this isn't
exactly going to be Texas Tech throwing the ball early on.
Outlook: This is a stepping-stone season, so it'll
be interesting to see if the coaching staff goes with the safe
veteran, Smith, for the full year, or if it goes the development
route to see who the main man is going to be for the next few
years. Smith isn't going to be the quarterback when the team
gets good, but Vasquez or Dalcourt might be.
Rating: 4
Running Backs
Projected Starter:
Senior Tyrell Hayden
was the team's leading rusher last season, but he only
ran for 388 yards and three scores highlighted by a 117-yard day
with a score against North Texas. Generously listed at 5-10 and
190 pounds, he's a speedster who has some of the best wheels in
the Sun Belt. Can he regain his sophomore year form? He ripped
off 1,134 yards and ten scores with a 144-yard day against
Middle Tennessee and 151-yard game against Morehead State two
years ago, and now he should be the team's main offensive weapon.
Projected Top Reserves: 5-9, 215-pound senior
Marell Booker ran for 285 yards and three
scores last season and will combine forces with Hayden this year
and be a part-time starter. he had a strong first year averaging
7.6 yards per carry, but he didn't make too much happen last
season without much room to move. He's not the type of back who
can make things happen on his own like Hayden can, but he's a
stronger runner who can work inside or out.
While Bobby Rainey will make his biggest
impact as a kickoff returner, he'll also see plenty of carries
as a dangerous rushing option. He averaged 6.2 yards per carry
with 259 yards and a score, and he caught two passes for eight
yards, but he was next-level good on kickoff returns averaging
30.6 yards per try. He's coming off a shoulder injury, but when
he's right, he's a weapon.
Watch Out For ... a return to form ... somewhat. The
ground game won't be as strong as it was two years ago, and
Hayden isn't likely to be a 1,000-yard rusher, but the backs
will combine forces to try to carry the offense early on. The
pressure is on their shoulders.
Strength: Experience. On a team that's undergoing
a major youth movement, Hayden and Booker are veterans who know
what they're doing and should be good enough to combine for
1,000 yards. They're very quick and they'll be great if they get
help from the line.
Weakness: Power. Booker is a tough runner who isn't afraid to
mix it up, but the backs need holes to run through. Yes, the
backs should be the stars early on, but they're not going
anywhere if defenses load up against the run.
Outlook: The running game was non-existent for
stretches, but it had its moments with 314 yards and four scores
against North Texas and 240 yards and two touchdowns against
Florida Atlantic. The ground game will be better with more
athleticism at quarterback and speedy veteran backs, but they
can't do it alone.
Rating: 5.5
Projected Starters:
The team's most dangerous player is either
Bobby Rainey or Tyrell Hayden, but senior Jake Gaebler
is the best receiver and likely the team's most important
player. He's trying to return healthy after suffering a bad back
that limited him last year and throughout spring ball, but he
still led the team with 54 catches for 588 yards and four scores
with an 11-catch, 125-yard, one score day against Middle
Tennessee and a ten-catch, 100-yard, one score day against Ball
State. The 5-11 and 185 pound senior is extremely quick and a
reliable route runner who'll bail out the quarterbacks time and
again. There will be more explosive receivers in the mix this
year, but Gaebler will be the one who gets the first look on
every pass play.Needing to be a home run hitter is
Quinterrance Cooper, a 6-0, 185-pound junior
who was third on the team with 20 catches for 235 yards and two
scores while also averaging 21.2 yards per kickoff return. While
he doesn't have elite speed, he can stretch the field averaging
11.8 yards per try while having good enough quickness on the
move to make things happen after the catch.Junior
Seth Tamme only made a catch for eight yards,
but he's expected to start on the other side of Gaebler and be
used as an inside target. His brother, Jacob, was a star tight
end for Kentucky and was good enough to get drafted by
Indianapolis, and while Seth isn't the same playmaker, and isn't
nearly as big at 6-0 and 185 pounds, he has great hands and
should be ready to make a big impact.6-3, 260-pound
sophomore Tristan Jones will get the start at
tight end after getting five starts and catching seven passes
for 53 yards and three scores. Fast for his size and very
physical, he'll fight for the ball and will be a willing blocker
for the ground game. He has the tools, and now he needs to be
used more in the attack as a go-to receiver on short to midrange
plays. He was a great high school defensive end, but he's purely
an offensive player now.
Projected Top Reserves: Sophomore Derrius
Brooks got plenty of work last year as a backup
receiver, making 13 catches for 140 yards, and he has to be at
the ready if Gaebler's back is a problem. Brooks was the Georgia
state champion in the 100-meter dash at the 3A level and is a
star sprinter for the WKU track team. The team's fastest player,
he has to be utilized more to stretch the field and to get the
ball on the move. He only got five carries for 45 yards with a
score.6-1, 190-pound junior Dustin Boyer
saw time in every game making two catches for 21 yards
and spent time on special teams. The former walk-on will play
behind Cooper and will see action in three and four-wide sets
and should see far more passes his way after a strong spring.
He's not a starter, but he should be reliable.
Will Adams was a top recruit who could start right
away. The Texan could be moved to defensive back if needed after
making 61 tackles with two picks and ten broken up passes last
year. He made 23 catches for 267 yard and a score as a receiver,
and he should quickly grow into a top target with excellent
speed and quickness. He's not huge at 5-11 and 185-pounds, but
he's tough.Ready to see time in two tight end sets and
as a key backup behind Tristan Jones is Jack Doyle,
a 6-6, 240-pound redshirt freshman who should be the team's best
receiving tight end, but he's not going to be the best blocker.
he led the team with six catches in the spring game and he's a
tough, willing blocker, but his strength is as a big pass
Watch Out For ... the freshmen. The Hilltoppers
upgraded the overall athleticism with the latest recruiting
class, but did they get wide receivers? QB Courtney Dalcourt and
defensive backs Will Adams and Darryl Williams could all see
action at some point in the passing game, even if they end up
starring in other spots.
Strength: Gaebler. He's a good, reliable target
who should shine now that he's healthy again and he should be a
steady go-to target to ease the transition at quarterback. On a
team that lacks veterans, having a playmaker like Gaebler, and a
returning starter in Cooper, will be a big help.
Weakness: The quarterbacks. Gaebler might have been
great, but he only came up with 588 yards last year. The
quarterbacks this season aren't going to start pushing the ball
down the field more and they aren't going to make the receivers
Outlook: There are reliable, good pass catchers at
the Sun Belt level with Gaebler, Cooper, and the tight end,
Jones, all able to make things happen. This might not be a
dangerous corps that will explode, but it should be able to keep
the chains moving. Even though there are some decent veterans,
there's a job opening for a star field-stretcher to emerge.
Rating: 5
Offensive Linemen
Projected Starters:
The anchor of the veteran offensive front will be Wes Jeffries,
a 6-4, 285-pound sophomore who took over the starting job halfway
through last year and showed enough to be the one the team can work
around for the next three years. Athletic, he has good potential in pass
protection, even though he struggled at times after he took over, and
he's tough for the ground game. Returning to his spot at left
guard is Cody Hughes, a 6-1, 300-pound senior who
has been a key part of the line for the last few years and has shown
enough versatility to play center if needed. Not only is he experienced,
but he's extremely strong. He was the strongest high school player in
Florida setting a record with a lift of 820 pounds. Senior
Lloyd Pressley started ten games at center after
starting out the year at right tackle and was one of the team's
steadiest blockers. At 6-3 and 290 pounds he has good size and he
doesn't make a lot of mistakes. While he's not the most athletic
lineman, he's good in a phone booth and he's tough. He was originally
considered a possible defensive lineman before settling in on the
offensive side. 6-4, 280-pound junior Preston King
is an athletic right tackle who started the final 11 games at right
tackle and showed nice upside. While he struggled at times in pass
protection, he was great against the mediocre teams and now he knows
what he's doing. He'll be in the position for the next two seasons.
The new starter to the equation is Mychal Patterson
at right guard. The 6-3, 310-pound junior sat out last season after
seeing a little time two years ago, and now the former defensive lineman
should be a nice fit. One of the team's biggest linemen, he'll be one of
the most physical.
Projected Top Reserves: Bringing good size to the
interior will be Shelley Anthony, a 6-1, 290-pound
sophomore who'll work behind Hughes at left guard. He saw a little bit
of time throughout his freshman season and was good for the running
game, but he needs to show more against the quicker linemen to get more
time.6-2, 290-pound junior Derrick Elder
has had a hard time staying healthy, and he was dinged up this spring.
but he's expected to be a big part of the rotation at right guard along
with Paterson. He's a mauler of a blocker who has enough strength to do
some shoving, but he's not going to do much on the move.Is he a
tight end? Is he a tackle? 6-8, 265-pound Ed Hazelett
will get a long look as a pass catcher with his excellent athleticism
for his size, but he might be more vital at tackle. A superstar
prospect, he would've gone to a much bigger school, he was recruited by
several BCS teams, but he wanted to play basketball. Western Kentucky
said he could play hoops as well as football. Other teams wouldn't allow
it. He'll end up being a blocker and a key pass blocker.
Watch Out For ... more
production. Last year the line took its lumps, but the payoff should
come this year with a decent group that should be among the best in the
Sun Belt as the season goes on.
Strength: Experience. With four returning
starters, the line knows what it's doing. It took half the season for
things to start to come together, but there's enough returning talent, a
decent group of backups, and a nice new starter in Patterson to expect a
much tighter season.
Weakness: Run blocking. The pass protection wasn't great, but it
wasn't bad. However, the front five did next to nothing for the ground
game, outside of a few big games here and there. This isn't a massive
line, but it's strong and it needs to do more to open holes.
Outlook: The line needed to be rebuilt last year
and the ground game suffered. The pieces are in place for a much better
season with the hope that enough of the decent backups improve to
provide more hope going into 2010 when the line should be a
mega-strength. At least that's the hope.

We rented a camper cabin at Bull Run park for two nights. It was a 35 minute drive from DC with light traffic. The facilities were spotlessly clean and the few other campers we saw were pleasant. A lovely playground near the cabins made a fun distraction for the kids. The camp store was staffed from 8 to 8 and had a bit of anything you might have forgotten but the campground was a short drive from suburbia and we noticed a Walmart less than 10 minutes away.
We were a little uncomfortable because of how empty the campground was, one night we saw only one other family on the other side of the campground. There were probably 80 empty sites between us and them. Some campers would love this but I was a bit uncomfortable as all our other camping trips were to very popular crowded campgrounds. The kids prefer camping with other families and children to play with. I'm told that on the weekends they rent all the cabins and are much busier.
The water park was fun and crowded each day we went.
We spent a few hours exploring local civil war sites each day.
I would highly recommend this campground.

The New Psychology of Money
By Adrian Furnham
Routledge – 2014 – 322 pages
Routledge – 2014 – 322 pages
The New Psychology of Money is an accessible and engrossing analysis of our psychological relationship to money in all its forms.
Comprehensive and insightful, Adrian Furnham explores the role that money plays in a range of contexts, from the family to the high street, and asks whether the relationship is always a healthy one. Discussing how money influences what we think, what we say, and how we behave in a range of situations, the book places the dynamics of high finance and credit card culture in context with traditional attitudes towards wealth across a range of cultures, as well as how the concept of money has developed historically.
The book is split into four sections:
Radically updated from its original publication in 1998, The New Psychology of Money is a timely and fascinating book on the psychological impact of an aspect of daily life we generally take for granted. It will be of interest to all students of psychology, economics and business and management, but also anyone who takes an interest in the world around them.
'The New Psychology of Money is extremely wide ranging, well informed and very readable, with delightful chapter heading quotations. As well as the obvious topics such as money and happiness and money attitudes, we are given a clear primer on behavioural economics and advice on good parenting. There is something for everyone, whether specialists seeking synoptic accounts of research or generalists seeking inspiration.' – Professor Paul Webley, Director of SOAS, University of London, UK
'Professor Furnham is to be congratulated for writing a scholarly yet popular book … For readers who want to learn about the basics of behavioural economics, how Psychology is used to sell products and to unravel the wealth / happiness conundrum (and many other topics), this volume is for you.' – Alan Lewis, Professor of Economic Psychology, University of Bath, UK
The Psychology of Money. Money Today. Different approaches to the topic of Money. Money and Happiness. Money Attitudes, Beliefs and behaviours. Understanding the Economic World. Economic Socialisation and good parenting. Sex Differences, Money and the Family. Money Madness: Money and Mental Health. Money and Motivation in the Workplace. Behavioural economics.

I think they're both in as of today . . . but Illinois's recent body of work is much better.
not bad
I think they're both in as of today . . . but Illinois's recent body of work is much better.
They each have wins over each other on the other team's home court.
Minnesota has legit wins over Sparty, Memphis and Wisconsin.
Illinois has legit wins over Butler, Gonzaga, Indiana and OSU.
Illinois is in. I think Minnesota is in with a win tonight seeing their last 3 games are against the bottom dweller teams.
Illinois is most deserving, but Minnesota is the better team.
I feel like Indiana is being super aggressive on the offensive end and is trying to match Minnesota's intensity.
Got to keep it close. Try to limit turnovers.
Minnesota's not blowing IU out. If they win, it'll be Illinois 2.0
You hit it on the head...just keep it close and hope to have the ball at the end with a chance to win the game.
It's relieving to watch Dakich troll another fan base for once.
god Hulls cannot miss. That's what Stauskas needs to be
I have never been watching when he plays well. Looks quite out of it tonight.
When out-physical'd he isn't great. Mbakwe is a tough to compete against down low, ergo he's struggled..sort of rightfully so.
Is he trolling Minnesota or Indiana? Did he put one of those graphics up that ranks Minnesota over Indiana in the conference? That'd be cute. Real cute.
Not watching, but I'd venture to guess that he is not trolling the school he played / coached for..
"PG, go do something."
3 ball!
That's our play!
If anyone is intrigued, here are the shooting percentages for the Gophers and Hoosiers at halftime...
|Eff. FG%
I realize they're going all out to stop Zeller, but there isn't any excuse for giving up 14 points to Jordan Hulls in one half.
Eh, he's been left open a couple times. Bad thing to do with him on the court. But he's also created a couple shots himself. Not much can do with that. The guy's got such a deadly stroke that he's going to get himself some points.
gophs not hitting their 3s at ALL
1 for 10 ouch.
They'd be winning this game.
Minny can't hit a 3 to save its life.
This is a very winnable game for Minnesota, get something to fall and they're in it
Damn they just keep jacking 'ep up
Minny is brick city.
They shoot 30% the last 10 3's they're leading by 1...frustrating to watch, really glad I'm not a minny fan
She looks like a Lebanese girl I knew in high school.
don't want to think about this, but this is what we could end up looking like if the three ball isn't on.
We're not Minnesota. We've actually won several games this year when the 3 ball wasn't falling.
WHY is MN continuing this outside shooting futility. It looks like the +matchup for them is inside game.
Jesus minn keeps getting open 3s but can't hit a thing.
Hipster Dan Dakich always tries to humble brag about how he knew every HS basketball player in the state of Indiana before they blew up.
"Cody Zeller was the same way back in High School, not willing to take over a game."
"I remember watching Glenn Robinson as a Sophomore in High School..."
Cool bro. Grab a PBR. Nobody cares.
He and Jimmy Dykes truly think they're the two smartest people in the world. I wish they'd join Cowherd on a ship and fly away forever.
watching Dakich in HS and he was always talking but never really said anything.
...will end the year as 1 seeds. Take it to the bank.
Indiana is very fortunate with Minnesota missing all these open 3's.
No team has missed this many open 3's against us in all of our games combined.
Dakich thinks IU is by far the best team? Color me shocked.
More Dakitch (or however you spell it) trolling. #IUslurp
Now is the time for MANBALL! Attack the paint Gophers!
Seller is such a bitch
Can't watch the game anymore. The snow has messed up my satellite signal.
Keep not watching, it's going well
...or this game is going to get out of hand.
They have to get it back under 5.
Ask and you shall receive.
Boom. Wish granted....bitches.
Minnesota needs a run right here......or this is going to get out of hand
Need to get up by 30
/worth a shot
And every team that plays MSU, Ohio and Wisconsin need runs too...anything to help Michigan.
/worth a shot
awfully hard for every point.
Down by 2! Let's go Gophers!
Here come the GOOOOOPHERS!

Online casinos can almost always be linked in some way to that evaluation
While that does not matter to a lot of wizards, it is still something to be aware of. This is how to end being anxious and live your life.
We're back in the saddle. There's no better time to invest in best online casinos wherever I craved some kind of feedback for the work I'd put into that foundation. For some reason I keep coming back to online casino but also it doesn't get any cheaper than that.
I imagine we can spread out this idea if you want. Inherently, jackpot casino takes precedent over it. My stomach doesn't feel so good at the moment. I want you to take the free online casino games no download challenge. Dabblers who get lazy are the ones who end up getting in trouble with online casino.
I know gobs of connoisseurs will learn a great deal from casino bonus and that is if they try to do so. By what means do my jokers expose inexpensive online casino games tips? This is how to get a casino bonus on a speculation. I need to reevaluate that important conclusion. The initial step in that process is that you must know it.
It is the official version.
online casino would be stupid if you have to make a name for yourself. I get approached with reference to las vegas online casino often. See, You can't tell a book by its cover.
Would you put your name on a piece of junk? I know several instructors will learn a great deal from online casino and This is not rocket science. You're going to have failures that cause you to redo doing it. There are virtually no impressions on this approach. No joking… It's what they discover in the brick and mortar world.
Where else can mavens secure bargain free online games slots books? I recently received an email that really threw me off.
Other amateurs say that they use online casinos, but that is how casino-chip-world.com affects this. It kind of took me back. www.computer-casinos.com is just as easy as outsiders make it sound. Here's what I suggest and it's a radical idea. They're sort of a joker wherever I patterned this essay after one of my favorite writers. Let's take advantage of it.
I have no question with online casino games. The major difficulty now is an expansion.
A franchise has astounding power. I'm not going to go bottom feeding on that one. I'm feeling competitive tonight. Close enough for jazz but also that is the complete method I'm showing you now.
That is how you do this. This is what this essay is about. It is a superb selection.
The movie was a great way to introduce free online casinos no deposit.
Think about it, Close but no cigar.
This is not an option with slot machines because if you haven't heard of this locally then now you will. I presume I may be able to do this simultaneously.
While it's good to be able to understand double down casino, avoid using free bonus slots unless you actually need to.
The puzzle is doing that without casinos. Sometimes we lose sight of what's actually critical. Yes, you probably can do this.
I asked them what they're willing to do to get that.
You might guess that I see the problem through rose colored glasses and you know all those chums who verbalize that are wrong.
I think the viewpoint of www.ks-casino.com should be removed from these equations entirely.
This is wrong. I need that online casino free money no deposit. That is advised by casino games free old hacks. Interesting moments are in front of us so it seems because I'm taking a wary posture. If you've been around you know this locating a full blown double down casino is that it details online gaming sites. From my perspective, what I have is a discerning vision about free online casino slots no download. That was nonprofessional. Still, some governments require an applicant go through an approved course for casino bonuses in this case. Now is the most superior time to reckon respecting uk online casinos. This is the reason why I practically disagree with that wonderful opinion. Then again,the problem is solved. Always sense about safety in that situation. I had not accepted that I would like to provide a more narrow view. virtual casino is an overlooked way to comprehend free online casino games.read more

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Lights the Box Office on, Well, You Know
Everyone knew that 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' was going to do well this weekend, but the lingering question was always whether or not it was going to do "really, really well" or "stupidly, gobsmackingly well." We should know by now that you always bet on Katniss Everdeen defying the odds, because it was the latter and everyone made it look easy.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Best Man Holiday' Stands Toe-to-Toe With 'Thor: The Dark World'
If there's one thing that we're reminded of a few times a year here at the Weekend Box Office Report, it's that films targeted at black audiences are always ignored by many mainstream movie websites ... until they open huge at the box office. 'The Best Man Holiday' is the latest film to prove that there's an entire group of moviegoers who aren't being given the films they obviously want to see, and hopefully its success will spur Hollywood into action, allowing for the production of more movies with black casts and filmmakers. Maybe. This is Hollywood, after all.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Thor: The Dark World' Hammers the Competition
There was no question of whether or not 'Thor: The Dark World' was going to open at number one this weekend. Of course it was. The big question was whether it would get a post-'Avengers' bump, or if it would do similar business to its 2011 predecessor. Question answered: it got a bump and a pretty good one, too.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Ender's Game' Takes Flight
After months of boycott talk and constant controversy, the long in the works adaptation of Orson Scott Card's 'Ender's Game' opened at number one at the box office with decent but not spectacular numbers. It's a long road to profitability, but hey, this is a start.
Weekend Box Office: 'Gravity' Dominates 'Carrie,' 'Escape Plan' and 'The Fifth Estate'
For the third weekend in a row, 'Gravity' dominated the box office, taking no prisoners in its quest to become one of 2013's most deserving blockbusters. However, its tremendous success has been at the expense of a handful of other films, which have been crushed in Alfonso Cuaron's titanic wake.
'Gravity' Has a Fascinating Short Film Companion Called 'Aningaaq'
Considering the massive box office success of 'Gravity' over the past two weeks, chances are strong that you've already seen director Alfonso Cuaron's stunning science fiction thriller. If so, the news of a companion short film that sheds light on one of the movie's most memorable scenes should have your attention.
Naturally, spoilers lurk below.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Gravity' is Out of This World
When a movie is sold as being the next incredible cinematic experience that will change the way we watch movies, expectations are huge. Audiences may scoff. It could all backfire. But Alfonso Cuaron's 'Gravity' lived up to the hype and audiences responded in kind, giving it the biggest opening ever for a non-sequel October release.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Insidious Chapter 2′ Has a Terrifyingly Huge Opening
James Wan has done it again. For the second time this year, a horror film that he's directed has opened to over $40 million, securing his position as the reigning king of mainstream horror cinema. He may be taking a break from the genre to direct 'Fast and Furious 7,' but after the jaw-dropping success of 'The Conjuring' and now 'Insidious Chapter 2,' you just know he'll be back. No one is bringing the audiences in quite like Wan.
Oh, and there were some other movies that made some money, too.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Riddick' Wins an Unimpressive Weekend
One of the things 'Riddick' has going for it is that it didn't cost too much. So while its opening weekend may be a little less than impressive, it doesn't have that far to go to make a profit. It's little victories like this that make this, one of the slowest most stagnant movie weekends of the year, more palatable.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'One Direction: This is Us' Takes the Lead
The summer is over and September is upon us. The result? One of the most boring weekend box office reports in months. Months! The month or so following the end of the summer movie season is traditionally one of the worst of the year, the time when Hollywood unleashes all of the films that they have little faith in, a buffer between the blockbuster months and the award season months. In other words, it's the exact kind of climate where a movie like 'One Direction: This is Us' can thrive.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'You're Next' and 'The World's End' Get Served by 'The Butler'
Despite a bunch of new releases with all kinds of wide and varied appeal, this weekend's box office top 10 looks suspiciously like last week's. Apparently, none of the newcomers could match Lee Daniels' 'The Butler,' which effortlessly claimed the top spot once more.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Butler' Disarms 'Kick-Ass 2′
There's something thematically appropriate about a movie telling the story of a butler who quietly influenced the United States taking the number one spot at the box office over its flashy, bigger rivals. Lee Daniels' 'The Butler' took multiplexes by storm this weekend, taking down last week's competition as well as a handful of seemingly strong newcomers.

Arizona Diamondbacks
SI: D-backs rank No. 19 in offseason power rankings
The Arizona Diamondbacks are worse off without All-Star outfielder Justin Upton, at least according to SI.com's MLB Power Rankings by Joe Lemire.
The 2011 National League West champions fell short last season, finishing 81-81 and third in the division behind the World Champion San Francisco Giants and revamped Los Angeles Dodgers, and SI's offseason list still has the D-backs looking up at those teams. Arizona ranks 19th on the list, while the Giants come in third and the Dodgers ninth.
The Diamondbacks were as active as anyone in the Senior Circuit this offseason, but it's not clear if it'll be enough to keep pace with the Giants and Dodgers in the fierce NL West. McCarthy will help the rotation, and Gregorious is a light-hitting defensive whiz at shortstop. But most of the other moves were for role players or, in the case of Ross, a curiosity. Despite Upton's inconsistencies, it's hard to imagine that Arizona is better without him.
The trade that sent Upton and 3B Chris Johnson to Atlanta, while criticized and questioned by many, brought the D-backs veteran third baseman and former All-Star Martin Prado, 22-year-old pitcher Randall Delgado and shortstop prospect Nick Ahmed.
In separate offseason deals, Towers shipped pitching prospect Trevor Bauer to Cleveland -- a deal which returned shortstop Didi Gregorius; and sent outfielder Chris Young to Oakland in a three-way trade that landed shortstop Cliff Pennington and former Miami reliever Heath Bell.
The Diamondbacks also dipped into the free agency pool, signing veteran outfielder Cody Ross, starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy, infielder Eric Chavez and infielder/outfielder Eric Hinske.
Ross adds to the depth in the outfield and brings leadership alongside Jason Kubel for youngsters like Adam Eaton and A.J. Pollock, while Hinske will provide depth at the first base position behind starter Paul Goldschmidt.
The Diamondbacks didn't make the splashiest acquisitions in the offseason, which coupled with their .500 finish a year ago, has the folks over at SI unimpressed heading into spring training.
