http://mmajunkie.com Middleweight standout Chris Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) is set to host a special Q&A session for UFC Fight Club members prior to weigh-ins for UFC 150.
UFC officials on Tuesday announced the Aug. 10 session, which takes place at Pepsi Center in Denver.
Doors for the festivities open for UFC Fight Club members at 1 p.m. MT. The fan question-and-answer session begins one hour later at 2 p.m. and is followed by the official weigh-ins for UFC 150 at 4 p.m.
Doors for the weigh-ins open at 3 p.m. for the general public.
UFC 150 takes place Aug. 11 at the Pepsi Center and airs live on pay-per-view, FX and Facebook. The main event is a lightweight title rematch between champion Benson Henderson and former champ Frankie Edgar.
Weidman recently solidified his status as a top contender in the 185-pound class when he stopped Mark Munoz with a second-round TKO in the main event of UFC on FUEL TV 4 earlier this month. The win extended his current win streak to five inside the octagon.
Weidman, who remains undefeated at 9-0, called for a bout with middleweight champ Anderson Silva following his key win. But recently, Silva's management has discouraged the possibility, stating that the fighter doesn't have enough experience and isn't a marquee opponent.
For now, Weidman remains unbooked, though possible future opponents include Tim Boetsch, Brian Stann, Michael Bisping, Alan Belcher or Vitor Belfort.
The latest UFC 150 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET)
- Champ Benson Henderson vs. Frankie Edgar (for lightweight title)
- Donald Cerrone vs. Melvin Guillard
- Jake Shields vs. Ed Herman
- Yushin Okami vs. Buddy Roberts
- Justin Lawrence vs. Max Holloway
PRELIMINARY CARD (FX, 8 p.m. ET)
- Dennis Bermudez vs. Tom Hayden
- Jared Hamman vs. Michael Kuiper
- Ken Stone vs. Erik Perez
- Nik Lentz vs. Eiji Mitsuoka
PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook, 7:30 p.m. ET)
- Dustin Pague vs. Chico Camus

The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)has reiterated the importance of training children arts to expose their talents through art initiatives.
This was revealed yesterday by the UNHCR Deputy Representative, Chansa Kapaya when briefing journalists on the 'bridging the lines' art initiative held at the UNHCR office in Dar es Salaam.
The four-day 'Bridging the Lines' project was implemented by Ujamaa Art gallery and the UNHCR focusing on working with Congolese refugees children form primary and secondary schools living in the Nyarugusu refugee camp and with neighbouring primary and secondary schools with Tanzanian children in Kasulu district, Kigoma region.
The envoy said the influx of refugees in the country back in 1996 was caused by volatile or instability in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the same situation has prevented the refugees to go back home.
"So we have worked together to give these children opportunity to express their hopes and aspirations through artistic endevours," she said
For her part, the Director of Ujamaa Art Gallery, Lorna Mashiba said the idea of the project was to nurture the artistic talent of refugee and Tanzanian children by exposing them to specific art techniques from renowned Tanzanian artists.
"We want them to know how UNHCR together with its partners facilitate projects that benefit the Tanzanian population in the refugee –hosting areas through documenting the learning process of teaching arts while utilizing pictures, film footages and publications to promote similar teaching endevours to children from marginalized communities.
"We held a three-day workshop from January 23 to 27 this year in the Nyarugusu refugee camp for 140 children of whom 40 were tanzanians living in the neighbourhood and 100 were Congolese refugees," said Mashiba.
The URG director noted that all the 140 children from primary and secondary schools participated in the project.
Haji Chilonga a Tanzanian artist said they were exited and amazed by the talents the children have.
"In normal circumstances, an artist's work can take up to two weeks to be complete, but these children within three days of our training, had already accomplished the arts they were working on," said Chilonga.
The children, according to Chilonga, had an opportunity to experience and exhibit water colours, pastels, acrylics and coloured.
The groups is expecting to hold an exhibition mid February this year where to raise funds to support artistic training for the refugees in Nyarugusu.
"The proceeds generated from the sale of the artworks , colouring books and post cards will go towards the procurement of art equipments and educational materials for schools in the Nyarugusu refugee camp and the adjacent host communities," said Mashiba, Ujamaa Art Gallery Director.

Since we are in crap land in football and making outrageous statements I thought I would get in on the action. So do you think Barnes watched the UNC game and watch them steam roll last night and then realize we lost to Hawaii?
yeah, that is exactly what happened.....
You certainly joined people in "crap land" with this post.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
You certainly joined people in "crap land" with this post.
Don't put my post in the same category as Iowa State Football at this point.
Is this a serious question?
Damn you Craig Brackins. I heard Barnes was calling McDermott's voice mail to give him his verbal when we all thought it was wrapped up, and the second Brackins made that foul, he hung up.
Can a mod please close this thread? Waste of space and time.
Yep seeing we didn't go undefeated this year...that means no Harrison.
No it's not serious. The people on this board are way to serious. I am just joking around.
People keep comming up with these stupid things that would make Barnes or any other recruit not want to come here. I am basically just joking and furthering the histaria involved.
Also if you don't want to read the thread then don't. To actually take time out of your day to post a post that the mods need to take it down is dumb. Just move on to the next post.
This is the dumbest post. Is a question like this going to be asked after every game we lose?
I am tired of the Harrison Barnes topic. If he decides to play for ISU, great. If he doesn't, fine. I understand he is a very good basketball player, but I tire of the fantasizing over him playing for ISU. Even if he comes, there is no guarentee it will equate to more wins. Look at Minnesota with Kris Humphries - that didn't give them more wins with him playing. Now, I am not saying that Harrison is the same type of selfish player Kris is/was, all I am saying is that if he plays for ISU, it does not mean we will win more games (we all hope it does, but nothing is for sure).
So, with that said, let's just enjoy the current BB season and cheer the players we HAVE on and worry about the future after the season.
"Wanting it doesn't make it so. If it did, we'd all learn to want harder. I can already want quite vigorously, thank you very much." - Walter Slovotsky
Wow, do some of you guys have your interwebz sarcasm meter off?
Knownothing, I understand the joke and find it hilarious. It's just showing how ridiculous some of the other threads have been the past couple of days. Thanks for lightening the mood.
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
Thank you.

The federal government is getting ready to write another 12-digit check, ostensibly to benefit the taxpayers. Which is to say you and me, who will of course subsidize this endeavor whether we brand it as brilliance or folly. If I were a shopkeeper I'm not sure I'd accept this as legal tender, though, even if the feds can produce two pieces of ID.
So far as I can tell the account lacks overdraft protection. It certainly hasn't any taxpayer protection, and yet I'm certain the creditors, in a pinch, will be able to acquire our addresses as readily as the IRS can.
I suppose I ought to feel thankful that the people we elected have decided it's time to return to us, in some fashion, a portion of the money they've taken. But I can't muster much gratitude.
It seems to me that the government might have spared itself, and us, quite a lot of trouble if it had just let us keep more of our money to start with. I don't believe, at any rate, that the dollars I earned have gained anything since the government enticed them to run off on me.
We at least would have tossed most of that currency into the stream of commerce, which deposits its valuable flotsam on countless privately owned beaches as it flows along toward the vast sump that is the federal Treasury.
Washington, D.C., was built atop a swamp, after all.
The government, of course, has proved time and again that, when quantity is the only measure, it can sling money around with the best of them. Except I cling to the notion that accuracy matters, too, and the politicians who play quarterback with our wealth, it seems to me, are as apt to hit a blitzing linebacker between the numbers as a tight end.
(The politicians can't tackle, either, so the return, like as not, is going all the way to the end zone.)
President-elect Obama and his supporters insist, as President Bush and his backers did late last summer, that these stimulus plans are necessary to rescue the economy.
They might well be right. But the figures they lay out in their speeches are so vast that when I hear them I invariably think not of dollar bills but of considerably smaller items. Amoeba, for instance.
I can comprehend a gathering of 800 billion single-celled organisms, mainly because I've never seen one alone, and it's always easier to imagine something you've not actually seen.
But I struggle with the notion of 800 billion dollars because I can open my wallet and see 10 bucks tucked between the leather folds, and the scale of extrapolation necessary to get from there to the sums the politicians debate with such glibness frankly makes me queasy.
(Fortunately I needn't consider such equations often, as I rarely have 10 bucks in my wallet. This leaves plenty of stretching out room for the lint.)
The politicians seem intent on persuading the public that each of us is a soldier in this battle against recession. They imply that we all have an equal stake in the outcome of this fight, whether we own a thick slice of America's economic pie, or feel fortunate to claim on occasion a crumb of its crust.
I hate to disappoint our representatives, but I've been casting a pretty wide net, reading and listening, and I see little evidence that the sort of camaraderie which they cite is common.
I'll wager that a solid majority of Americans feel their government has no real interest in their opinions on the economy, and would in fact prefer they kept quiet, showed a little gratitude and grabbed onto the floating rescue ring the government has heaved into the stormy sea.
I feel that way myself.
No one in power has ever asked me whether I wanted to surrender so large a percentage of my earnings, or would I like to hold back a bit more so I can buy one of those 42-inch plasma TVs.
I don't expect anyone from Washington will seek my counsel on the most direct and safest path out of our current mess, either.
I'm not easily offended, though.
Also, I'm neither ashamed to have opinions, nor reluctant to offer them.
And so, here's what I'd like Obama and Congress to do: Give the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest some money.
I don't want to come across as greedy, so let's say half a million dollars.
This shouldn't pose a problem. I won't attempt the calculations because decimals and percentages confuse me, but I'm pretty sure that $500,000, out of the whole stimulus package, is roughly equivalent to a pauper's pocket change.
Here's what I want the Wallowa-Whitman to do with the money: Hire people to fix every hiking trail in the Elkhorn Mountains.
There's only about 100 miles, so half a million ought to be plenty.
Also, this is one of those "shovel-ready" projects the politicians prattle on about — although for most trail work an adze hoe or other flat-bladed implement is a more useful tool than a shovel.
I'm not talking about rebuilding the trails, either.
What I mean is taking care of what we've already paid to build — physically taxing but otherwise simple work such as cutting the windfalls, cleaning out the waterbars, and rolling off the path any loose rocks bigger than, say, a cantaloupe.
High school or college students could handle most of these tasks. The Wallowa-Whitman probably would need to hire an experienced contractor to refurbish certain trails, such as the Elkhorn Crest between Marble Pass and Cracker Saddle.
The whole project could be done this year, even accounting for lingering snowdrifts and the brief alpine summer.
My plan probably wouldn't create any long-term jobs, so I doubt President Obama will think much of it. I sympathize with him — his first year in office will be tumultuous, but if he can staunch the hemorrhaging economy he will at least earn some political capital.
And approval ratings that don't read like a Baker County cold snap.
But another thing about the president is he has two daughters, as I do, and I'll bet he's had to lug them around on his back.
I'm hoping he'll understand, then, how a pleasant hike in the woods can become a grueling ordeal when you have to clamber over a dozen logs and carefully cross a precipitous, washed out gully with a toddler, who likes to shift her weight without warning, strapped into your backpack.
My youngest, Olivia, turns two on June 1, which happens to be about when the prime hiking season starts in the Elkhorns.
And as I'm sure the president can attest, she's not getting any lighter.
Or less wiggly.
So whatever you can do about those trails, sir, well at least one dad would sure appreciate some smooth trails come summer.

I live in Alaska and work in the oil field on the North Slope. Sometimes it is hard to get the things we need to keep moving forward. I ordered a pair of Doc Marten boots and a black long-sleeve FRC shirt. I inadvertently asked to cancel the order instead of asking to cancel just the shirt. Your customer service made sure to get my order straight. The boots will be a nice addition to the wardrobe as fall sets in (snowed twice here in the last week) and we transition to winter. It takes a while for stuff to get to Alaska, so it is better to get things right early and not wait until the last minute when it is too late."

An honor guard carry the casket of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Mark Schoonhoven as it arrives Monday, Feb. 4, 2013 at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport, in Kalamazoo, Mich.

Town Hall Event Focuses on Teen Drug and Alcohol Use
Submitted on March 30, 2010 at 10:18 AM
Blake McMeans had his life shattered by alcohol and poor decision making. He will take his story to Volunteer State Community College for a town hall event in April. It's part of an effort to educate college students about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, in partnership with the Sumner County Anti-Drug Coalition (SCADC) and the Community Anti-Drug Coalition Across Tennessee (CADCAT.)
McMeans was a teenager and star tennis player, looking forward to college and a possible sports career. He drank too much at a bar one night, ran his car off the road and into a tree. He stayed in a coma for three and a half months. Now he is largely confined to a wheelchair. He has turned in experience into a powerful message for young people.
The speaking engagement will be part of a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Town Hall Event. An expert panel, including McMeans, will discuss the issues relating to underage use of drugs and alcohol in Sumner County. Another topic discussed will be binge drinking on college campuses.
The SAMHSA Town Hall Event will be April 19 at 12:15 p.m. It will be held in the Carpeted Dining Room of the Wood Campus Center, on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. The public is invited to attend. For more information call 615-230-3653.

The Denver Post's sports reporters contribute analysis, notes and minutiae on this blog focusing on CU athletics.
- Dec 16:
- New CU Buffs football coach Mike MacIntyre always a risk taker
- Dec 13:
- Colorado commits to Mike MacIntyre, asks donors to fund Folsom Field
- Dec 12:
- Mike MacIntyre's Colorado coaching contract has BCS title incentive
- New CU Buffs coach Mike MacIntyre has experience building a program
- Dec 11:
- Mike Bohn relieved to be done with "arduous" Colorado coach search
- Mike MacIntyre the latest WAC coach to move on to bigger things
- CU president Benson says academic standards won't drop for football
Two weeks have passed since Colorado fired football coach Jon Embree. That's a relatively long time for a coaching search to drag on these days, but what's most important, former CU coach Gary Barnett said, is for the school to find a fit.
"With the situation the program is in, for a coach to be interested in the job, it's not going to be about money," Barnett said Sunday during a phone conversation.
"It has to be somebody that is willing to go through the rebuilding process and accept the fact that he will start out with losing seasons."
The new coach must scramble to put together a recruiting class before the Feb. 6 national singing day. But Barnett said what will be even more critical for the next staff is to convince players already in the program to stay.
Some attrition is inevitable with any coaching change.
But Colorado, despite its 1-11 record, does have some young talent and can't afford to lose it.
"If you miss on some recruits now, what you'll be missing is next year's freshmen," Barnett said. "You can replace that with the following year's recruits.
"But if you lose guys that have been in the program, guys you've invested years in, they're impossible to replace. That would set the program back even more."
Colorado received some good news Sunday when its lone quarterback commitment, Sefo Liufau of Tacoma, Wash., reconfirmed his allegiance to the Buffs during an interview with Rivals.com.
Liufau, 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, recently guided Bellarmine Prep to the state championship game — a 49-24 loss to Skyline High School (Sammamish, Wash.), which was led by blue-chip quarterback Max Browne, who is committed to Southern California.
As a senior, Liufau threw for 2,518 yards and 24 touchdowns and had just five interceptions. He completed 69 percent of his passes, according to Rivals.com.
Liufau said he has been hearing from other colleges since CU fired Embree but is remaining patient while the Buffs program looks for a new coach.
"It is kind of the business end of things," Liufau told Rivals.com when asked about CU's coaching change. "I'm just trying to see what happens, because I still love Colorado and I would still love to go there."
Meanwhile, Fresno State hosted two CU commitments for visits during the weekend.
Both are wide receivers: Elijah Dunston (6-1, 180 pounds) from West Hills (Calif.) Chaminade High School and Devin Ross (5-9, 170) from Mission Hills (Calif.) Bishop Alemany.
Wide receiver is a critical position of need for Colorado.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A year ago Saturday, June 29th, we were tracking a line of thunderstorms, 100 miles from tip to toe that barreled through the Metro DC area Friday night from 9:30 - 11:30 PM packing straight line winds of 50 to 80 mph.
This same 'clump' of storms hit Indiana, southeastern Ohio and West Virginia with hurricane force winds that evening. The technical term is Mesoscale Convective System or Derecho, usually seen in the Midwest and not in our area. National hit a daily record of 104 and also set an all-time June record high.
Take a look at these photos of the devastating storm damage from last year's Derecho sent to us by our viewers.

Lamotrigine for Epilepsy
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Lamotrigine is available in tablets.
Why It Is Used
Lamotrigine is used to treat a broad range of seizures. It helps control partial seizures, especially partial seizures with secondary generalization. It may also be effective in treating absence seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
Lamotrigine is used most often with other epilepsy drugs.
Lamotrigine is also used in children who have Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and who have not responded to other drug treatment. Lamotrigine is usually added to the child's existing drug therapy. There are still some concerns about the safety of lamotrigine, but a smaller initial dose and slower increases in dosage may reduce some of the risks.
How Well It Works
When lamotrigine is added to another medicine being taken for partial epilepsy, it can help control seizures that haven't been controlled by one medicine alone.1
When it is used alone, lamotrigine can help control partial or generalized seizures in adults.2
Side Effects
Most people tolerate lamotrigine very well. Common side effects include:
- Rash. Rash tends to occur more often in children than in adults and in people who are also taking valproate. In rare cases, the rash may be severe and potentially life-threatening.
- Drowsiness.
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep (insomnia).
- Dizziness.
- Blurred or double vision.
- Headache.
- Nausea.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on antiepileptic medicines and the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, people who take antiepileptic medicine should be watched closely for warning signs of suicide. People who take antiepileptic medicine and who are worried about this side effect should talk to a doctor.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
It may take time and careful, controlled adjustments by you and your doctor to find the combination, schedule, and dosing of medicine to best manage your epilepsy. The goal is to prevent seizures while causing as few side effects as possible. After you and your doctor figure out the medicine program that works best for you, make sure to follow your program exactly as prescribed.
- Adverse effects. Lamotrigine treats a wide range of seizures. And most people tolerate it easily. It has fewer side effects than some of the older drugs (carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital) used to treat the same types of seizures. But it does have the potential to cause a serious, even life-threatening rash. This side effect is rare in adults but somewhat more common in children. Gradually increasing the dose until the person is taking the full dose can lower the risk.
- Drug interactions. Many medicines for epilepsy can interact with other medicines you may be taking. This means that your epilepsy medicine may not work as well, or it may affect the way another medicine you are taking works. Some of these interactions can be dangerous. It is important to tell your doctor about all the medicines, herbal pills, and dietary supplements you are taking. Lamotrigine is a good choice if you are taking birth control pills, because it will not make the pills any less effective. But if you are taking birth control pills, you may need to take a higher dose of lamotrigine.
- Risk of birth defects. All medicines for epilepsy have some risk of birth defects. But the risk of birth defects needs to be carefully compared to other risks to the baby if the mother stops taking her epilepsy medicine. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, it is important to plan ahead and talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of taking epilepsy medicine during your pregnancy. It you are already pregnant, it is not too late. The best thing to do is talk to your doctor about your pregnancy before you make any changes to the medicines you are taking.
- Other concerns. For some people, it may produce side effects or carry risks that are not fully known yet. Report any unexpected side effects or problems to your doctor.

Mike Smith stopped 17 shots and the Phoenix Coyotes were at their tight-checking best in a 2-0 win over the Dallas Stars Saturday night.
Nick Johnson scored his third goal of the season and Mikkel Boedker his second for the Coyotes, who have points in four straight games.
The Coyotes have gotten back to their stay-at-home style that helped them reach the Western Conference finals last season.
Phoenix kept the Stars to the outside offensively most of the night while getting sticks and their bodies in the way whenever they tried to shoot.
Smith was there to turn away anything that reached the net for his 20th career shutout, first this season.

So, here's a reliable way to make a conversation turn weird: ask men about what kind of porn they watch. Of those men brave enough to reveal the details of their alone time, there was (unsurprisingly) a variety of answers. It turns out no two men have the same feelings about porn, but they all have exactly the same feelings about paying for it: Lulz! Guys share details on their adult film watching habits ahead.
Also. Every answer is accompanied by a photo of an adorable baby animal, so no one knows what you're reading about. Or maybe you really like pictures of baby ducks. Who knows?

The stereotype held of ghetto thugs, usually drug-dealers, abusing pit bulls by gambling on to-the-death matches or sporting them as vicious, four-legged bodyguards and sentinels for drug or money stashes — all of which makes an enterprise on the order of Big D's Dog Training (www.bigdsdogtraining.com) all the more refreshingly welcome. Going simply by the moniker Cooper, the internationally recognized behaviorist, handler, and instructor heading up Big D's Dog Training of Circle Pines, MN owns and operates an inherited family business that couldn't be farther removed from those unpopular perceptions. The thriving, nationally accomplished concern, he says, "started [in] South Minneapolis under the direction of my father, Catrell Cooper, who gave me the direction of hunting dogs. "My mother, Lucille Cooper…gave me the direction of science in the relation to dogs, and my sister Phyllis…gave me my first dog, Munica, a Mexican Fox Terrier. Continue Reading →

Vol State Health Sciences Center Helps Professionals Refresh Skills
Submitted on July 23, 2012 at 9:32 AM
Health care is a rapidly changing field. Professionals must have training to keep up with the latest techniques and procedures. The Volunteer State Community College Health Sciences Continuing Education Center of Emphasis can help. The Center offers continuing education training for health care professionals of many types including EMTs, paramedics and hospital employees.
"Our goal is to expand our offerings for more healthcare providers in other areas as well," said Terri Crutcher, the new director of the Health Sciences Continuing Education Center of Emphasis. "We're also open to new ideas for classes that professionals think we should offer."
Crutcher is a familiar face for many health care professionals because of her work with the highly popular Vol State Radiologic Technology Program. Crutcher coordinated student clinical placements with area hospitals and doctors' offices.
"I speak the same language and understand the specific needs of health care providers," Crutcher said. "I know how important continuing education is for certification and licensure."
New classes coming up at the Center include Basic Life Support Provider, Advanced Cardiac Life Support Provider, Critical Care Paramedic and Ultrasound Patient Assessment. New classes are added every few weeks. For more information visit the Center web page at www.volstate.edu/HealthSciences. Readers will be able to view the latest classes and also sign up for an email newsletter of class offerings. The phone number for the Center is 615-230-3338.

Interactive Tool: What Is Your Child's BMI?
What does this tool help you learn?
This tool calculates your child's body mass index (BMI), which provides a way to estimate the effect of weight on health. This tool also gives you your child's percentile on a growth chart. The percentile is the number that ranks your child's BMI among the BMIs of children of the same gender and age. Taking several BMI measurements over time can help you and your doctor assess your child's growth.
This tool can be used for children ages 2 through 19. Be cautious if you use this tool or any height and weight charts to assess your child's growth after he or she reaches puberty. Check with your doctor if you have questions.
What do the results mean?
If your child is on the very low end of the percentile scale (for example, the 5th percentile), you may be concerned that your child is too small. If this is the case, talk to your doctor. It may be that your child has always been small and that this is the normal growth pattern for him or her. Your doctor can check your child to make sure that he or she is growing as expected.
Often parents of very small children push their children to eat more because they are concerned about their growth. This can cause problems. The child may resist the pressure to eat and will not gain weight as well as he or she should. Pressuring children to eat usually causes them to eat less, not more. Talk about your child's weight with your doctor. As long as your child is growing normally, you can relax a little about feeding him or her.
If your child is on the upper end of the percentile scale (for example, the 95th percentile), you may be concerned that your child is too big. If this is the case, talk to your doctor. It may be that your child has always been large and that this is the normal growth pattern for him or her. Your doctor can check your child to make sure that he or she is growing in a healthy way.
Parents of larger children are sometimes tempted to restrict what their children eat, to keep them from gaining too much weight. This doesn't work. When a child doesn't get enough to eat because food has been restricted, he or she learns to overeat when the chance arises. These children end up gaining more weight, because they become anxious about food and eat more when they get the chance. Again, it is good to discuss your child's weight with a doctor who can help you see if your child's growth is within his or her normal pattern.
Your child's weight over time is the most important thing to think about when you are concerned about what your child's weight should be at any age. Your child's doctor will decide what your child's weight should be, based on what your child's weight has been over time.
If you print a boy or girl growth chart, use the steps that follow. Then keep the chart so that you can track your child's percentile for several years.
- Use this tool to find your child's BMI about once a year or as often as your doctor suggests.
- Find your child's BMI on the side of the chart.
- Find your child's age on the bottom of the chart.
- Find the point where BMI and age meet. Your child's percentile will be in one of the shaded areas. Follow the curved line to the right to estimate the percentile.
- On your child's growth chart, mark your child's percentile.
What's next?
Talk with your doctor about what your child's BMI means. Remember that BMI-for-age is just a guide. Finding that a child is "overweight" or "underweight" is a medical diagnosis. Your doctor can give you steps to take to help your child reach and stay at a healthy weight. These may include providing healthy foods and helping your child be active for certain amounts of time.

The Brandon University Bobcats looked completely dejected as they left BU's Healthy Living Centre for their Christmas break on Saturday night.
Brandon looked poised to cap the first half of its Canada West men's basketball season with a victory, but Michael (Reggie) Smith missed a three-pointer as time expired and Brandon fell 75-73 to the visiting Trinity Western Spartans. The loss was even harder for the Bobcats (2-8) to take because they held a 12-point advantage at halftime, but have now slipped into last place in the Prairie Division.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar — a.k.a. Zack Morris — Remarries
Sorry ladies. MARK PAUL GOSSELAAR is a married man again.
--The former "Saved by the Bell" actor, currently starring in TNT's "Franklin & Bash," exchanged vows with advertising executive Catriona McGinn on Saturday at a winery in Santa Ynez, People reported.
--"He was so excited to have found the woman of his dreams," Neil Lane, who designed the couple's engagement rings and wedding bands, told the mag. "He couldn't wait to propose!"
--Gosselaar, 38, has two young children, Michael and Ava, from his previous, 14-year marriage to Lisa Russell.
--"Catriona's great with my kids," the actor said last August, when they got engaged. "My kids absolutely adore her."
--The newlyweds are set to jet off to Italy for their honeymoon, where they shared that they're, "going to eat our a--es off!"
And Now . . . A U-Haul in Front of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's House
A U-Haul was spotted the other day outside the house in L.A. that ROBERT PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART were sharing. (TMZ)
--Last week we heard that Rob had moved out, even though the house is technically his. Now there are reports that they've BOTH moved out, and they're still not speaking.
--Rob and Kristen are supposed to be co-presenters at the "MTV Video Music Awards" in September. Something tells me that's not going to happen.
--It'll be interesting to see how they promote the final "Twilight" movie, which comes out November 16th. This is no doubt going to be a HUGE headache for the studio.)
--Meanwhile . . . a source says Rob wants to, quote, "have a man to man chat" with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director RUPERT SANDERS, to find out exactly what happened between him and Kristen.
--The source adds, quote, "He feels like he needs to know exactly what happened, how far it went and how many times, so he can figure out if this is something he can move past. He's not ready to talk with Kristen, it's too painful, so he's going to Rupert."
Does Paris Hilton Have Her Sights Set on Chris Brown?
PARIS HILTON reportedly wants to sink her claws into CHRIS BROWN. They partied together in France last week, and now Paris has her sights set on him.
--Of course, Chris does have a girlfriend . . . she's a model named Karrueche Tran.
--But Paris has figured out how to get around all that.
--A source says, quote, "Paris thinks Chris Brown is hot and really wants to hook up with him. She likes bad boys, and he is bad to the bone.
--"Paris has been pretending to be Karrueche's BFF and Karrueche is loving the attention . . . She knows how to use and manipulate other people to get what she wants."
--Supposedly, Paris doesn't want a relationship, since it would be bad PR for her. She's more interested in, quote, "a steamy hook-up or two behind closed doors."
--Paris posted some pictures of her and Chris partying in France on her website.
Did Katy Perry Refuse to Hang Out With Lindsay Lohan?
LINDSAY LOHAN isn't going to be KATY PERRY's BFF any time soon.
--The "National Enquirer" says that Katy threw a roller-skating party for a friend earlier this month, and Lindsay showed up and tried to get close to Katy. Katy wasn't having it.
--A source says, quote, "She started acting really weird. She refused to talk to anyone and she kept following Katy around, trying to take a photo with her. Katy told friends, 'I think she may be drunk, so PLEASE keep her away from me!'"
--The source adds, quote, "She hates to hurt people's feelings, but she's the first one to tell you she's avoiding all 'Debbie Downers' . . . and Lindsay was reeking of negativity.
--"She finally took the hint and left."
The Cast of the All-Star Season of "Dancing with the Stars"
ABC has announced this fall's "Dancing with the Stars" ALL-STAR cast.
--The question coming into this was: Were they going to go for an ACTUAL all-star cast . . . or were they going to go for all-star RATINGS. Well, it seems like they went with all-star DANCERS, for the most part.
--The cast includes SIX of the show's 14 winners . . . including the FIRST FIVE champions. And only ONE "all-star" didn't finish in the Top Three in their season. That's PAMELA ANDERSON, who came in sixth on Season 10.
--Here are the all-stars, and where they finished during their previous run:
--Kelly Monaco . . . who WON Season One
--Drew Lachey . . . who WON Season Two
--Emmitt Smith . . . who WON Season Three
--Apolo Ohno . . . who WON Season Four
--Helio Castroneves . . . who WON Season Five
--Shawn Johnson . . . who WON Season Eight
--Joey Fatone . . . who was the runner-up on Season Two
--Gilles Marini . . . who was the runner-up on Season Eight
--Kirstie Alley . . . who was the runner-up on Season 12
--Melissa Rycroft . . . who came in third on Season Eight
--Bristol Palin . . . who came in third on Season 11
--Pamela Anderson . . . who came in sixth on Season 10
--ABC will let viewers vote for a 13th contestant. Our choices are: Sabrina Bryan, who came in seventh on Season Five . . .Carson Kressley, who came in eighth on Season 13 and Kyle Massey, who was the runner-up on Season 11.
--You can vote at ABC.com/DancingWithTheStars through August 24th. The winner will be announced August 27th on "Good Morning America".
"The Dark Knight Rises" Made Another $64 Million to Top the Box Office
"The Dark Knight Rises" made $64.1 million to finish #1 at a sluggish box office. That brings its domestic total to $289 million for its first 10 days. When you add the $248 million it's made overseas, that's $537 million so far.
--Domestically, that's about $25 million behind the pace set by "The Dark Knight" in 2008. Obviously the shooting in Colorado is still on people's minds . . . and the box office was slow overall this weekend.
--As for this weekend's new releases . . . they didn't fare too well. That new BEN STILLER-VINCE VAUGHN alien comedy "The Watch" made just $13 million in 3rd place . . . while "Step Up Revolution" earned $11.8 million in 4th place.
--Here are this week's Top 5 movies:
1.) "The Dark Knight Rises", $64.1 million. Up to $289 million in its 2nd week.
2.) "Ice Age: Continental Drift", $13.3 million. Up to $115 million in its 3rd week.
3.) (NEW) "The Watch", $13 million.
4.) (NEW) "Step Up Revolution", $11.8 million.
5.) "Ted", $7.4 million. Up to $194 million in its 5th week.
