Samsung U820 coming to Verizon on April 30
The HTC EVO 4G and (to a lesser extent) the Samsung Galaxy S are the only stars of CTIA 2010 – and they have nothing to do with Verizon, the largest US mobile carrier, which announced only one new phone (the low-end LG Cosmos).
Well, Verizon could have also announced the Samsung SCH-U820 which, according to PhoneScoop, will be available starting April 30.
The Samsung U820 is a touchscreen phone with a sliding QWERTY keyboard. It comes with a 3 inch WQVGA display, TouchWiz UI, a "Communities widget" for access to social networking sites, HTML browser, Microsoft Office Exchange email support, 3.5mm headset jack, 3.2MP camera, and MicroSD card slot.

Verizon should sell the Samsung U820 for a price between $80 and $100 with a 2-yr contract agreement.

The Georgia Institute of Technology has a long, illustrious football history and tradition. Hall of fame players and coaches, championships, and classic rivalries. Part of what made all of the success on the Flats possible was great quarterback play, and the Yellow Jackets have had their fair share of top notch field generals.
While it's always difficult to pick just a few for a "best of" type list, the process of reflection back through sports history is always a blast. With the rich history of Georgia Tech, it was especially fun.
5. Billy Lothridge (1961-63)
Finishing second to Roger Staubach in the 1963 Heisman vote, Billy Lothridge may have very well been Coach Bobby Dodd's most notable player. No. 18 threw for nearly 2,400 yards in an era that didn't see much passing from the Jackets. He also rushed for over 700 yards during that time. A first team All-American in 1963, he was also the SEC Back of the Year that season, and was inducted into the Georgia Tech Hall of Fame in 1969.
4. Josh Nesbitt (2007-10)
Today's Tech fans still have this beast fresh on their memories, and will likely judge future quarterbacks by his standard as long as the option is the offense of choice on North Avenue. Nesbitt finished his injury shortened career in Atlanta with over 3,000 passing yards, and more than 2,800 rushing yards with a total of 55 touchdowns. In 2009 he rushed and passed for over 1,000 yards respectfully. No. 9 earned first team All-ACC honors and still holds ACC and school records for rushing yards by a quarterback.
3. Shawn Jones (1989-92)
Not only did the sometimes overlooked Jones hold his own numbers wise, but he actually produced a National Championship. Jones' 8,718 yards for 53 touchdowns through the air are solid in any era of football. Combine that with nearly 900 career rushing yards, and another 20 touchdowns on the ground, and it's no wonder why the Yellow Jackets won a crystal football under his leadership. He was ACC Player of the Year in 1989, and now holds a place in the Georgia Tech Hall of Fame.
2. George Godsey (1998-01)
The "Goose" had the misfortune of waiting his turn behind the great Joe Hamilton, but was still able to make the best of it once he was turned loose. Before he was coaching up quarterbacks like Tom Brady in the NFL, Godsey was running wild at Grant Field. Though he only started for two seasons, old No. 11 still managed 6,000 passing yards, and a career total of 47 touchdowns. He earned first team All-American honors in 2000, and was added to the Georgia Tech Hall of Fame in 2012.
1. Joe Hamilton (1996-99)
It comes as no surprise that the top spot on anyone's Georgia Tech QB list should be reserved for the man, the myth, the legend, Joe Hamilton. If they retired numbers at Bobby Dodd Stadium, No. 14 would surely be the first to hang high. 8,882 passing yards for 65 touchdowns at any level of football in four years is impressive. Combine that with 1,758 yards on the ground for another 18 scores, and you've got yourself a mammoth college football career. Hamilton finished second in the Heisman vote in 1999, but won the Davy O'Brien Award, and earned Consensus All-American honors that same year. Joe's list of accolades is far too much to list, but would hold its own in any trophy room in America.

Oregon capped off another successful day at the NCAA Championships when Allie Woodward surged to a surprising fifth-place finish in the women's 10,000 meters, giving the women their first four points of the 2012 Championships.
"I think our women are competing with the appropriate level of excitement and confidence," said Associate Athletic Director Vin Lananna. "But there is still a long way to go."
Theisen used three personal bests to lead the competition with a first-day high score of 3,803 points. Barbara Nwaba of UC Santa Barbara was second with 3,596 points.
"I felt pretty good today," said Theisen. "I was really just trying to have fun and enjoy my last NCAA meet as a Duck.
"I'm not worried about my score. I just want to get 10 points and help my team. So my approach was to just to have fun and add things up at the end."
Theisen opened the heptathlon by smashing her own school record in the 100 meter hurdles. She ran 13.30 to finish second in her heat. That time beat her previous legal best of 13.39 she ran in 2010 and was good for 1,080 points.
She then bettered her heptathlon best in the high jump by clearing 6-0.5/1.84m. Theisen had first attempt clearances on her first four bars, before going over on a clutch third attempt make at 6-0.5 for 1,029 points.
The Humboldt, Sask., native made it three personal bests in a row with a shot put of 42-4.75/12.92m to net 722 points. Theisen had an excellent series where she led off with her best effort, followed by throws of 42-3.5 and 42-2.75.
She closed out day one by running 24.09 in the 200 meters, resulting in 972 points.
Theisen is attempting to become just the third woman to win three NCAA heptathlon titles. Jacquelyn Johnson won four for Arizona State (2004, 2006-08) and Jolanda Jones won three for Houston (1986-87, 1989).
On the track, Woodward was a pleasant surprise with an inspired fifth-place finish in 32:56.94. She hung tough with the leaders as the top 11 distanced themselves midway through the race. Woodward stayed strong as the lead pack dropped to nine with six laps remaining.
The Green Bay, Wis., native then made a smart move not to go with the top four when the broke away with 1,000 meters remaining. That allowed her to hold her position in fifth place for the crucial four team points.
"I was really excited to get here," said Woodward. "I thought I would let the race develop and I'm learning patience is key.
"Early on, I thought of being back at Hayward Field and bringing some of that magic here."
Woodward's time was the second-fastest in school history, trailing only Kathy Hayes' 1984 school record of 32:43.81.
Jordan Hasay and Becca Friday were particularly impressive in the semifinals of the women's 1,500 meters.
In a star-studded field, Hasay and Friday fought their way to the front of the pack nearing the bell, but could not shake a large pack of eight runners. Throughout the final lap, Hasay charged to the front, as did Natalija Piliusina of Oklahoma State and Katie Flood of Washington.
Piliusina got to the line first in 4:12.55, followed by Flood in 4:12.65 and Hasay, a junior from Arroyo Grande, Calif., in a seasonal-best 4:12.68.
Friday charged late to claim the fourth spot in a personal-best 4:13.06. That gave the junior from Bellingham, Wash., the sixth-fastest time in school history. Both Hasay and Friday qualified for Saturday's final.
The women's 4x400 meter relay team had strong legs from Chizoba Okodogbe and Phyllis Francis to come from behind and clip Illinois and Arkansas at the line and advance to Saturday's final.
In a race strikingly similar to the NCAA West Preliminary quarterfinal, Devin Gosberry had the Ducks sixth after the first leg. Chizoba Okodogbe then ran a strong turn to move Oregon up to third. Laura Roesler then powered around the first turn to overtake Illinois with a 51.8 leg, and handed the baton to Phyllis Francis in second place.
Francis then held her position until the final 60 meters, before running down Arkansas and holding off Illinois as the Ducks won in 3:29.46. Francis ran a 50.3 anchor leg. Arkansas was second in 3:29.54 with Illinois third in 3:30.07.
Meanwhile, the men saw NCAA Championships debuts from four freshmen.
In the decathlon, after opening day two by running 15.30 in the 110 hurdles, Dakotah Keys recorded decathlon personal bests in the discus and pole vault. He threw 122-2/37.24m in the discus and then cleared 15-9/4.80m in the pole vault.
Followng that, he was third in the javelin with a throw of 201-4/61.37m. Keys wrapped up the day by running a :07 personal best in the 1,500 meters, 4:30.70.
The Sweet Home, Ore., native finished 12th with 7,559 points in his first NCAA decathlon.
"It was an eventful day," said Keys. "It's the decathlon. Some things are going to go well and some don't.
"It was a great experience. As a freshman, I think this experience is really going to help me."
Also for the Duck freshmen, Johnathan Cabral finished third in his 110 hurdle heat in 13.64, but did not advance.
"That was a little rough," said the Calabasas, Calif., native. "I just couldn't get into it and get going like I usually do."
Sam Crouser had a best throw of 229-11/70.09m in the men's javelin and finished 14th.
Arthur Delaney was eighth in his heat of the 200 meters in 21.03.
"It's all a process for the freshmen," said Lananna. "Hopefully this will help them and next year in Eugene, they can step up for us."

Homeland Security Director Visits Texas Medical Center
by RONDA WENDLER
Texas Medical Center News
In a recent visit to the Texas Medical Center, U.S. Homeland Security Director Gov. Tom Ridge said Houston is one of the best prepared cities in the nation to deal with a bioterrorist attack.
"As Iĺm looking around for examples of best practices, Houston is a good place to look," Ridge said of the cityĺs counter-terrorism activities. "Keep doing what youĺre doing. You could serve as a model for cities throughout the nation."
President Bush appointed Ridge, a two-term governor of Pennsylvania, to develop a comprehensive strategy to protect the nation from terrorist attacks after the events of Sept. 11.
Ridge visited Houston Feb. 22 at the invitation of The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston to attend a briefing where city, county and state officials discussed the recent counter-terrorism initiatives their offices have undertaken, and the funding needed to implement or sustain those efforts.
"We are grateful for the opportunity to brief Gov. Ridge on what the Houston community has done so far and to showcase Houston as a model city for collaborative homeland defense initiatives," said Dr. James T. Willerson, UT-Houston president.
Houston is especially vulnerable to a terrorist attack, Ridge noted, because it meets all nine of the FBI criteria that attract terrorists, including the fact that it is home to the port of Houston, the petrochemical industry, NASA, the Texas Medical Center, more than 70 consulates, a highly concentrated population, increased truck and rail traffic due to NAFTA, a major airport that bears the Bush name, and the nationĺs oil industry headquarters.
But despite its obvious vulnerabilities, Ridge said Houstonĺs level of preparedness is among the highest in the nation.
He praised the city for being "forward-leaning" in its foresight to develop a preparedness plan in 1999, when the Houston Task Force on Terrorism was appointed by Mayor Lee Brown and a medical strike team was assembled to respond to medical emergencies resulting from nuclear, biological or chemical agents.
To date, Houston has taken a number of precautionary measures, including increasing security at airports, water plants, the Port of Houston and downtown high-rise buildings, said Mayor Brown. The mayor was among the government officials and bioterrorism experts who briefed Ridge about recent counter-terrorism initiatives their offices have recommended or implemented. Others included Dr. S. Ward Casscells, vice president of biotechnology at UT-Houston and organizer of the event; Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison; Harris County Judge Robert Eckels; Texas Commissioner of Health Dr. Eduardo Sanchez; and David Dewhurst, Texas land commissoner and chairman of the Governorĺs Task Force on Homeland Security.
All emphasized the coordination taking place across jurisdictional boundaries and among local and state agencies.
Sen. Hutchison stressed that Houston is home to the largest medical complex in the world and the second largest petrochemical complex in the world.
"Can you imagine what an attack on Houston would do to the economy of our country? If our port of Houston and our refineries shut down, the nationĺs economy would be crippled," Sen. Hutchison said.
Judge Eckels added that Harris county is the third most populated county in the nation, and that Harris county alone is more heavily populated than 24 of the 50 United States.
"This should be taken into account when the federal government allocates antiterrorism resources," he said.
A report that requests federal funding to prepare Houston for a terrorist event has been prepared by a special task force and submitted to Mayor Brown. The report is currently being reviewed in the mayorĺs office.
"It features communication among all levels of government and other key emergency players; training for first-responders; cooperation and breaking down jurisdictional boundaries in sharing services and training of personnel; and securing facilities and borders, as well as labs where biological agents are housed," explained Dr. Casscells. "Terrorists are innovative. They are probing our security systems all the time. We must stay ahead of them with new software, new antibiotics and new antiviral shields," he said.
Texas Commissioner of Health Dr. Eduardo Sanchez, a graduate of the UT-Houston School of Public Health, said a bioterrorist attack by its very nature is a pubic health issue, and that local health departments, as well as the Texas Department of Health, will be major players in preparing for and protecting against potential attacks. Sanchezĺs department was just awarded $59.7 million in 2002 federal funds to enhance its Health Alert Network and to help Texas hospitals prepare for bioterrorism. The funds were awarded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Health Resources and Services Administration.
Texas Land Commissioner David Dewhurst said Texas, known for its friendliness, will continue to be "friendly to tourists, but very unfriendly to terrorists." Gov. Perry appointed Dewhurst chairman of Texasĺ task force on homeland security, which published its first report Jan. 31, complete with 44 recommendations for making Texas more secure.
"The problem is, these cost money. We need help from the federal government to keep Texas safe," Dewhurst said.
President Bush is proposing that funding from Ridgeĺs office for the 2003 fiscal year should include $3.5 billion to allot to cities for emergency workers and $6.9 billion for public health efforts. At the earliest, Ridgeĺs homeland security office is expected to divvy these funds up sometime between October and December, after the appropriations bill is signed.

7th Neurologists Meeting on Neurology and Neurosurgery
August 22-24 2016 Vienna, Austria
|Pathophysiology and definition: Dystonia is a movement disorder in which a person's muscles contract uncontrollably. The contraction causes the affected body part to twist involuntarily, resulting in repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Dystonia can affect one muscle, a muscle group, or the entire body.Cervical Dystonia affects about 1% of the population, and women are more prone to it than men.
|Symptoms: Dystonia can range from very mild to severe. It can affect different body parts, and often the symptoms of dystonia progress through stages. Some early symptoms include: • A "dragging leg" • Cramping of the foot • Involuntary pulling of the neck • Uncontrollable blinking • Speech difficulties Stress or fatigue may bring on the symptoms or cause them to worsen. People with dystonia often complain of pain and exhaustion because of the constant muscle contractions. If dystonia symptoms occur in childhood, they generally appear first in the foot or hand. But then they quickly progress to the rest of the body. After adolescence, though, the progression rate tends to slow down. When dystonia appears in early adulthood, it typically begins in the upper body. Then there is a slow progression of symptoms. Dystonias that start in early adulthood remain focal or segmental: They affect either one part of the body or two or more adjacent body parts.
|TREATMENT: There are a number of treatment techniques that can control the involuntary movements and spasms of dystonia, including medication, physiotherapy, and in some cases, surgery. The aim is to provide relief from the abnormal movements and postures of dystonia, plus any associated pain and discomfort. In some cases, other conditions that arise as a result of dystonia, such as stress, anxiety or depression, may also need to be treated. Treatment for dystonia should be based on the individual and their specific needs. As different people respond differently to different treatments, it may be necessary to try several options to find out which one works best. There are four main types of treatment for dystonia. They are: • botulinum toxin • medication • physiotherapy • surgery, including deep brain stimulation (DBS)
|STATISTICS: Prevalence estimates ranged from 20–4,100 cases/million. Generally, studies that relied on service-based and record-linkage system data likely underestimated the prevalence of CD, whereas population-based studies suffered from over-ascertainment. The more methodologically robust studies yielded a range of estimates of 28–183 cases/million. Despite the varying prevalence estimates, an approximate 2:1 female:male ratio was consistent among many studies. Three studies estimated incidence, ranging from 8–12 cases/million person-years.

[Harry], [Ron], and [Hermione] head to the [Owlery] to send [Pigwidgeon] to [Sirius], and then head back to the [common room].
Back in the [common room], the [Gryffindors] throw a party for [Harry], highlighted by Harry's first attempt at opening his egg and [Neville] briefly turning into a canary. [Hermione] also cunningly learns from [Fred] how to get into the [Hogwarts] [kitchens], and finally Harry goes to bed, happy with the way his day has turned out.
December begins with a [Care of Magical Creatures] class that doesn't go very well as the students try unsuccessfully to see whether [Blast-Ended Skrewts] hibernate. The poor class is punctuated when [Rita Skeeter] arrives, asking to do a story on [Hagrid] and his creatures.
[Harry] even manages to enjoy double [Divination], joking with [Ron] again about [Trelawney]'s absurd predictions (though [Lavender] and [Pavarti] still manage to be horrified again).
Down in the Kitchens
[Ron] and [Harry] are searching for [Hermione] when she comes rushing up and drags them to the [kitchens]. There, as it turns out, they find [Dobby], who is thrilled to see Harry again. However they also find [Winky], who is absolutely miserable. Finally they turn to go, loaded with free food from the [house-elves].
On the way back from the [kitchens], [Harry], [Ron], and [Hermione] discuss [Dobby], [Winky], and the things Winky told them about [Crouch] and [Bagman].
Chapter 22 - "The Unexpected Task" - In which the Yule Ball is announced, and Harry learns that he is expected to have a dance partner. Harry tries to get up the nerve to ask Cho to the dance, but when he finally does finds that she already has a date with Cedric, so Harry arranges to go with Parvati Patil instead.
The Yule Ball is Announced
At the end of [Transfiguration] one day, [McGonagall] tells the students of the upcoming [Yule Ball]. She then makes [Harry] even more nervous, holding him back after class to let him know that he not only needs a date, but needs to begin the dancing.
[Harry] and [Ron] talk nervously about the prospect of inviting girls to the [Yule Ball], and Harry is surprised when three different girls he doesn't know ask him to the ball.
With [Harry] feeling better as his life at [Hogwarts] improves, he also talks with [Hagrid] about his interview with [Rita Skeeter].

John Fogerty Rides Again, with Blue Ridge Rangers: An Interview
John Fogerty, leader of the legendary, late '60s-early '70s band Creedence Clearwater Revival, returns tomorrow with The Blue Ridge Rangers. The first and, until now, only album by Fogerty and the Rangers was issued 36 years ago; the "group" consisted of Fogerty, who played all the instruments and sang all the parts on the tribute to old-time country and gospel music. On the new "The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again," Fogerty is joined by crack musicians Jay Bellerose, Dennis Crouch, Greg Leisz, Herb Pederson – and Bruce Springsteen on a cover of the Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved" and the Eagles' Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmidt on Rick Nelson's "Garden Party." The video below is with the new band, doing the opening track from the original album from 1973.
The Wall Street Journal: How did you pick the songs for the new album?
John Fogerty: Most of them I've been carrying around with me for a long time. I'm kind of always collecting songs. It's been in the back of my mind to do another Blue Ridge Rangers album, so when I'd hear a song I'd think, "That would be good for that."
Any particular reason you didn't play all the instruments yourself this time?
Oh yeah. On the first one, it was a lot of work. Really more than most musicians have to go through when you have other people carrying the load for you. About a week after it was done, I felt the feeling of the music would've been better if I had other really good musicians on it. But I wasn't running in that kind of circle back then. I told myself the next time I'm going to get really good guys.
There's a very nice vibe on the new album. Were the sessions as mellow as they seem?
Pretty much. That was very important to me. Sometimes, you get good people together and it's as stiff as a board, with guy's showing off or stepping on the other guy's thing. It can come out corporate-sounding and I sure didn't want that. I've got this album "The Great Dobro Sessions" by Jerry Douglas. He got a lot of his idols and friends together and he surrounded himself with good people and they had a really great time. I was going for that.
These sessions were so exciting. I would say joyful. They understood my concept of the Blue Ridge Rangers – it's a certain way of doing it, an attitude. These guys translated that feeling. The joyfulness is more important than the particular music that's being played. I'm very happy with it.
How did the duet with Springsteen come about?
My wife Julie picked some of the songs. She wanted me to do "When Will I Be Loved," and in her vision she wanted me to sing it with Bruce Springsteen. I'd been wanting to do something with Bruce for a long time. With her added blessing, it was done.
That line in "Garden Party" – "You can't please everyone so you've got to please yourself" – does that resonate with you?
Very much. I realize there's a certain segment that's not going to like this record. You know, "I hate country music or why is John singing soft." It will be off the radar for some people. But a lot of people will get it.
That story sounds like you." Then she said, "And I'd like you to sing it with the Eagles." When you're around somebody like that, you just dummy up and go with it.
Don Henley was a big fan of the song and that line "If memories were all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck." We're a couple of guys who don't want to be packaged as an oldies sort of thing. We still have new music to make. We still have creative forces within us.
Will you tour behind this album?
Absolutely. These are the kinds of songs you play live. The whole vibe of the recording is live. When you have people around you who can handle those things, you want to keep playing with them. If guys can only strum an open G chord, it's not much fun.
I hope you don't wait 36 years for the third Blue Ridge Rangers album. You'll be 109 years old.
I'll make it a scorcher.

Europe has won 6 out of the last 8 Ryder Cups. It began as a contest between USA's best players and England's but American dominance over the years led to the inclusion of the rest of the European continent.
Since then the 2 sides have been more evenly matched, especially with players like the ineffable Seve Ballesteros. Nothing more closely signifies an end to America's death grip on The Cup than the addition of the swashing Spaniard.
What the US really needs is a captain with some grit who can rally the troops. We don't need a star player. We don't need flashy uniforms. We don't steroids. All we need is a great leader.
Who were the last two winning US Ryder Cup captains? Anyone? Anyone? Paul Azinger in 2008 and Ben Crenshaw in 1999.
Neither one of these men were considered the best players. What they had was something different. And they know how to win.
Azinger won 1 major. It was against Greg Norman in a playoff but he won a bigger battle against lymphoma. You don't beat the C-word without believing and having some toughness. Zinger captained the winning US team at Valhalla by turning the course into "a $19-muni track," as he put it. By cutting down the rough he opened up the course for the longer-hitting American players.
Consider Ben Crenshaw for a moment: known as one of the best putters ever, he didn't have a particularly consistent iron game but he didn't need it because he had something else. Something intangible—Crenshaw refused to appear in the HBO miniseries, "Dead Solid Perfect" starring Randy Quaid because one episode contained a few nude scenes.
Greatness emerges from integrity.
I can still hear him talking to reporters at the press conference in Brookline, Massachusetts the night before the largest comeback in Ryder Cup history, "I'm going to leave y'all with one thought. Mark my words! I'm a big believer in fate. I have a good feeling about this."
The rest is history and legacy.
Davis Love III will captain the 2012 US team at Medinah, near Chicago, Illinois. Tickets to the event will be hard to come by as our side tries to bring it back home. Love used to lead the PGA Tour in Eagles. He may have been born with a croquet mallet in his hand but now he's got a custom motorcycle from Orange Country Choppers. That might be style of horsepower the Stars and Stripes needs.
Play gets underway on Friday, starting with foursome alternating shot matches at 8:20 a.m. EST. Fourball is up next at either 1:05 or 2:05 p.m and the entire day of play can be seen on ESPN. Saturday follows the same format as Friday, but TV coverage shifts to NBC.

Card Making: Tilt Cards
In our current credit-crunch climate, saving money is important and every penny counts (in the case of these cards, quite literally!). Now is the time to dig all of your old stamps out of storage and use them in a new way on your cards. You will not only save money by not buying new ones, but you will also feel inspired and excited about revitalising something you perhaps had forgotten about.
I only recently discovered this technique for making something called a "tilt card" and it has really spiced my old stamps up. There are so many possibilities - my creative thinking has kicked in overdrive! It's a really simple technique with a really effective result.
- white cardstock
- stamp of your choice (I have used one by Gary Patterson)
- a craft knife
- a pair of scissors
- 3D foam (circles work best)
- glue stick / adhesive
- ink for your stamp
- two pennies
- something to color and decorate your card
Step One
Start by stamping your image twice onto cardstock. The first image should omit the piece you would like to "tilt" - in my case I have not stamped the mouse hanging across the computer screen. (I have left a faint imprint on it so you can see what I mean for the purposes of this tutorial.) The second image should focus on the piece you would like to "tilt."
Step Two
Cut out the piece of the second stamped image you would like to "tilt." Here you can see I have cut around the mouse.
Step Three
On the first image you stamped, using your craft knife cut a small square out of the cardstock in the center of where you would like your image to hang. This should be big enough to push 3D foam through but not so big that a penny will fall through.
Step Four
Using one of your pennies, stick 3D foam directly on top.
Step Five
Place your first image (with the cut-out square) over the top of the penny so that the 3D foam sticks through the square space.
Step Six
Take the second penny and place this onto the topside of the image ensuring you cover the hole. Your pennies should be sandwiching the cardstock and 3D foam and should be able to move around freely like wheels. This will form the base for your tilt action.
Step Seven
Take the cut-out piece of your second image and stick this onto the top of the penny to cover it. You should now be able to move your tilt piece around freely.
Step Eight
Now color and decorate your image as you wish. In the card I have created, I colored the cat in with pencils and attached some thread to the mouse to make it look like it was dangling. I then attached the image with 3D foam pads to a backing paper. It's important you ensure your image is raised from the back of the card slightly to allow the pennies to still move freely. When you move your card from side to side part of your image will tilt accordingly.
This technique works great with all kind of stamps. Autumn Leaves has a great animal stamp set - you can make the lion's head tilt from side to side, the giraffe's body waddle from side to side or the monkey swing back and forth on the tree. What about this great little stamp from Imaginisce. You could make the hula skirt swing from side to side on the cute penguin - that would look amazing. Take a look to see what stamps you have in your collection and see how they would translate into a tilt card. Don't forget to upload your creations to the gallery and have fun!

Mayor Bloomberg's Gun Control Group Will Tackle the NRA After Halftime
In ad form.
Washington, D.C area residents opposed to gun control and/or non-humorous Super Bowl ads might want to head to the kitchen for another beer during the third-quarter commercial break in tonight's big game. While the 49ers and the Ravens take a brief pause from pummeling each other, Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns will go after the NRA in a 30-second spot calling for support on mandatory background checks for gun sales. The clip, which was first online on Sunday morning, is pretty straightforward: While "America the Beautiful" plays and photos of little kids looking worried-yet-hopeful flash across the screen, a child's voice points out that the NRA was once in favor of background checks (no longer the case.) The little narrator then pauses to roll a video of NRA head Wayne LaPierre (who hasn't aged much) endorsing background checks to Congress in 1999. "America can do this. For us. Please," concludes the voice-over.
A Bloomberg spokesperson said the cost of the ad was in the six-figure range — less than the nearly $4 million it would take to run it nationally, but enough to reach the people MAIG is trying to reach here: D.C. lawmakers. Now the organization just has to hope that tonight's game is an emotional one.

Vitamin levels fine; size is too big.
Publié par training-in-tokyo le Aug 29, 2012
It's my first week taking the pills and I haven't noticed any jump in energy but will faithfully continue taking the rest of the bottle. One huge downside - the pills are quite large. I'd call them horse pills because of the size. The second day I cut the pills in half, but still had difficulty swallowing. I imagine this is another benefit of eating with food - to help push it down.

JVM languages - Scala, Groovy, Grails, Jruby
The Java platform is highly robust because the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) supports much more than just the core Java language. Application developers need to choose which of the JVM languages to run on the virtual machine. Scala, Groovy, Grails, and Jruby are all popular choices. Scala is an object oriented language designed to be highly scalable. Groovy is similar to the standard Java language with several additional features. The Grails framework leverages Groovy under a "coding by convention" paradigm. Learn about all of these Java languages and more in this topic section.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Charlie Strong has engineered quite a turnaround at Louisville.
Still, there's one thing on Strong's checklist the No. 18 Cardinals have failed to do in his two-plus seasons: Beat Pittsburgh. Louisville (5-0) will get one more chance on Saturday before the Panthers (2-3, 0-2 Big East) head to the ACC next fall.
Pitt has won its last four meetings with the Cardinals, including a 21-14 victory on the road last year that helped cost Louisville a shot at an outright Big East championship.
The Cardinals are coming off a bye week and haven't played particularly well in road wins at Florida International and Southern Miss. Louisville was the preseason favorite to win the conference, but Strong says his team needs to stay humble.

It's unbelievable what politicians consider a good deal. The San Antonio City Council formally approved an inter-local agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to takeover maintenance on 21.8 miles on segments of nine state highways within the city: Broadway, Culebra, Eckert, Fredericksburg Road, Lone Star Pass, San Pedro, UTSA Blvd., and Hausman. In exchange, the city gets more space inside TxDOT's Transguide building, property to complete its convention center expansion, $250,000 to fix roads at Lackland, a $150,000 Wurzbach Pkwy traffic study, and re-configuring Broadway into a 'complete street' with bike lanes and pedestrian walkways.
Those are seriously the priorities of the San Antonio City Council, not expanding north side freeways that are among the most congested corridors in the state. So the city takes on $2.5 million a year obligation in new road maintenance costs for state highways, for which there's no money for in the existing budget, and what do we get in return? Basically, a one-time, short-term measly $350,000 and bike lanes and sidewalks on Broadway. San Antonio, we have a problem!
Let's not forget TxDOT initially asked the city to takeover 129 miles of state highways to which the city correctly said 'No.' But in secret backroom negotiations with County Judge Nelson Wolff and other officials like Via Board Chairman Henry Munoz, an $850 million toll road deal was brokered to add toll lanes to 281 and I-10 (outside Loop 1604) and in return, TxDOT dropped $70 million to extend the free lanes expansion of Loop 1604 West from Potranco to Hwy 90. As part of the deal, the city and county would take over portions of state highways from TxDOT.
What happened to 'We made a mistake'?
This turnback program all started when the Texas Legislature passed a bill that required TxDOT to find $100 million in savings from its bloated administration and operating budget. The top 4-5 executives at TxDOT make over $1 million a year in salaries. Former House Transportation Committee Chair Joe Pickett chastised TxDOT for trying to offload maintenance of the state highway system onto local cities and counties and said that's what the legislature meant when it said to find savings. Pickett then urged TxDOT to apologize and admit, 'we made a mistake.' Instead, Bexar County and the City of San Antonio bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Who still thinks TxDOT doesn't have any money for roads? TxDOT just came up with $70 million out of thin air to appease State Rep. Jose Menendez and get Loop 1604 expanded without tolls, while 281 and I-10 politicians like Donna Campbell, Lyle Larson, and Kevin Wolff agree to toll-tax drivers on 281 and I-10 claiming 'there's no money to fix them without tolls.' If that $70 million had been allocated to 281, there's enough existing tax money allocated to the corridor to get it fixed without tolls.
LOCAL taxpayers now burdened with maintaining STATE roads
Local taxpayers already shoulder the burden to pay for local city and county roads from local taxes (primarily property tax and a portion of sales tax), now they'll be paying to maintain state roads out of their local road taxes, too. Even worse, local taxpayers also pay a state gas and a state vehicle registration fee among other taxes to build and maintain state roads. San Antonio taxpayers pay far more in road taxes than they get back from the state.
Alamo city taxpayers should be getting 11% or more of TxDOT's total new construction budget annually, which averages $4 billion, but it receives a paltry $200 million a year back from the state (or 6% of the total in 2013). By contrast, Ft. Worth, roughly the same size as San Antonio, raked in 16% of the pie in 2013. Some years, El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley received more for road expansion than San Antonio, a city of 1.8 million people.
We're being starved. Why? To force us into capitulating to toll roads in order to get more of our money back from TxDOT. With the city's approval to takeover state roads, the TxDOT strategy clearly worked. None of our city or county politicians are fighting to get our tax money back to the region.
Instead, they're agreeing to increase taxes through tolls, doing TxDOT's job for them, and getting a pittance in return, with no long-term remedy for TxDOT's systematic snub. In addition to the above, Nelson Wolff asked for a got a new $10 vehicle registration fee hike passed in the legislature in 2013 - with the support of Republicans Campbell and Larson. How will he use that money? For toll roads, not free roads. No matter how you slice it, San Antonians are gonna pay more for roads. Lots more.
It's time to give these feckless politicians the boot!

2008 Research Summary
Machine Learning-Based Packet Dropping Schemes
View Current Project Information
Kurtis Heimerl and Randy H. Katz
Router congestion is still a problem for large-scale Internet services. Congestion has taken down systems as large as Amazon.com and Skype. In this research I aim to utilize machine learning to determine the relative importance of packets. With this priority information we can make more informed decisions regarding packet dropping during congestion events.
To make the packet priority determinations, I propose an active testing methodology. We will use the Click modular router [1] to implement a testing framework. We will destroy existing TCP connections that pass through the router and make determinations based on the packet flow that follows. If we determine a system has died due to the loss of the connection, we then add a dependency to our graph. These system failures are reasonable due to the reliability framework of the data center.
Once the dependency graph is complete, we can use it to maximize the number of leaves in the graph. This gives us the largest number of services running if the network becomes congested, and a level of stability that current large scale distributed systems are lacking.

Marlow Briggs "game software" trademark filed by Microsoft
Microsoft filed a trademark application for "Marlow Briggs" on January 24 with the USPTO, and the application cites "game software" as the description. No other information was found in the application, but a representative for the firm told Gamespot it "often acquires various trademarks as part of its ongoing business strategy," and beyond that it had no comment. This is the second games-related trademark dug up for the firm in the last two weeks, the other was "Gunpowder". Let the speculation begin. We're sure it's not a sink, though.

Say I have two zero mean single variate independent random variables $X$ and $Y$, and a third variable $Z = X + Y$. I can draw samples $z_i$ with $i = 1..n$ from $Z$ and I know $Var(Y)$. How can I estimate $Var(X)$ based on the measurements $z_i$?
A trivial estimator of $\Sigma = Var(X)$ would be $\hat{\Sigma} = Var(z_i) - Var(Y)$. The problem is that $\hat{\Sigma}$ could actually be negative based on the drawn samples $z_i$. Is there an estimator (possibly biased) which always results in a valid variance?
I have a related question on the stats SE site.

Sometimes a newspaper or magazine article, or television story, is so true to life that it grabs you by the throat and won't let go.
Earlier this week I was thrilled when the January/February 2014 edition of The VVA Veteran arrived in my mailbox.
I always devour the contents The VVA Veteran, because of the articles, and regular features such as The Locator, which helps Vietnam Vets locate the guys we served with in combat; and the Veterans Benefits Committee Report which often contains valuable information about my veterans benefits that I can't get anywhere else.
But when I tried to read Richard Currey's article, "Bill Milcarek & the Flash of the SAMs," I had to put the paper down and walk away.
Currey hit the nail right on the head when he described the MIG attack on Milcarek's B-52.
In an instant, I was back strapped into my ejection seat in the navigator bombardier's station of an EB-66E near Vinh, North Vietnam in April 1969, when we were jumped by a North Vietnamese MIG, who fired an air-to air missile up our tail.
To this day, I have no absolutely idea how that missile missed or how I survived that moment.
I couldn't finish Currey's article. I had to walk away. But I feel that Currey's article will help other people understand what some of those combat missions were like.
I firmly believe that if you've never been there and done that, then you really don't have a frapping clue what it was like; and neither would I.
I've flown combat missions over North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, but I never carried an M-16 and slogged through the Mekong Delta, so I can never understand what my brother Joe went through, God rest his soul.
My brother Joe and I both knew what is like to stare death in the face, and keep doing your job anyway.
But I don't have any idea what it was like for Joe as an infantryman in the Delta during Tet. Just as Joe never had any idea what it was like in the air over North Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos.
I also have absolutely no idea what it was like for my brother-in-law, Bill, who served as an advisor to a South Vietnamese naval unit. I've never been in the Navy, and I've never patrolled the coast of South Vietnam in a small boat.
That's why Currey's article struck so close to home.
Currey is a former Navy Corpsman and longtime contributor to the VVA Veteran. But somehow, even though he had never been there and done that in the skies over North Vietnam, Currey got it right.
His article made my skin crawl, and it literally made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
If you want to understand what it was like for the aircrews in the skies over North Vietnam and Laos, then check out Currey's article. It is available on the VVA Veteran Online website at http://vvaveteran.org/34-1/34-1_milcarek.html

Did you get rain this morning? If so… it didn't amount to much, but we'll take every drop we can get! Officially at the Indianapolis International Airport, only a few hundredths of an inch was recorded. The rain will fade away by mid-morning, but the clouds will stick around. Highs will only hit the mid 60s today.
Overnight, expect mostly cloudy skies with lows in the upper 40s to around 50 degrees.
Monday and Tuesday, we're watching for moisture from the south to surge into Indiana and bring us some much needed rain!
Midweek, the sunshine and warmer temperatures return.

ABOUT ARIZONA: Coming off a stretch which saw them play four out of five games on the road, the Wildcats return to their home field this weekend with their 4-4-0 overall record. The Cats split a pair of matches in El Paso last weekend, falling to Texas-El Paso, 4-3, on Thursday and then defeating Arkansas-Little Rock, 2-0, on Saturday. The win over UALR ended a three-game losing skids for the Wildcats and gave them win number four on the year, surpassing the 1998 win total of three.
Junior forward Chrissy Sanford (Newbury, CA/Newbury Park HS) remains in the scoring lead for the Cats with seven goals and three assists (17 points). Sanford is third in the Pac-10 in total points and is tied for second in goals scored.
Sanford is followed by sophomore forward Tiffany Sabado (Kaneohe, HI/James B. Castle HS), who has five goals and two assists (12 points). Sophomore forward Kim McGehee (San Diego, CA/La Costa Canyon HS) has three goals (six points), while junior midfielder Brooke McManus (Escondido, CA/San Pasqual HS) has one goal and two assists (four points).

ABOUT PEPPERDINE: On a modest three-game win streak, the Waves are 4-2-1 overall after picking up a 2-0 road win at San Francisco last Friday. Pepperdine is in the midst of a seven-game road swing.
With three goals and three assists (nine points), freshman midfielder Tasha Spangler leads Pepperdine in scoring. Her sister, junior midfielder Stacia Spangler, is second with two goals and three assists (seven points). Sophomore goalkeeper Lindsey Brouillette has tallied 11 saves, one solo shutout and a GAA of 1.55. Freshman goalkeeper Cheri Phillips has six saves, three solo shutouts and a perfect 0.00 GAA.

ABOUT WYOMING: The Cowgirls are 2-6-1 on the year following wins at home over Oral Roberts (1-0) and Idaho State (3-2) last weekend. Those two victories ended a season-opening seven-game winless streak for Wyoming. The Cowgirls will play at Arizona State on Friday night before heading to Tucson for Sunday's match.
Freshman forward Sarah Stephens is Wyoming's leading scorer, with two goals and two assists (six points). Junior forward Megan Marsh is second with two goals (four points). Three other players -- Kelly McShane, Katrina Morton and Laura Miceli -- have one goal and one assist (three points) each. Junior goalkeeper Amanda Vandervort has played every minute of every match in the nets for the Cowgirls, registering 83 saves, one shutout and a goals against average of 2.14.
Wyoming head coach Anne Moore (North Carolina State, 1993) holds a 2-6-1 record in her first year with the Cowgirls.
MIGHT BE A FAMILIAR FACE: Wyoming goalkeeper Amanda Vandervort is a graduate of Tucson's Sabino High School.
THE SERIES: Pepperdine holds a 2-0 lead in the series with Arizona. The two teams last met on Sept. 6, 1996, with Pepperdine taking a 3-0 victory in Malibu.
The series with Wyoming is tied at 1-1-0. The Cowgirls edged the Cats, 1-0, in their last meeting on Sept. 4, 1998, in Laramie.
ARIZONA'S LAST TIME OUT: The Wildcats split a pair of matches in El Paso, Texas, last weekend. On Thursday, Arizona fell to Texas-El Paso, 4-3.
The Miners logged their first goal of the contest barely eight minutes in, but Tiffany Sabado knotted the score for the Cats at 22:43 off an assist by fellow sophomore Kristi Loroa (Tucson, AZ/Canyon del Oro HS). The tie didn't last for long, as UTEP dented the net again at 28:21.
Arizona's Brooke McManus made the score 2-2 just one minute into the second half, off an assist by Chrissy Sanford. Then UTEP pulled away with goals in both the 55th and 79th minutes. Sanford brought the Cats to within one at the 87:30 mark, but the UA ran out of time before being able to score again.
On Saturday, Arizona fared much better against Arkansas-Little Rock in a neutral contest on UTEP's field. The Cats came up with their first shutout of the year, 2-0, and ended a three-game losing skid.
Sophomore transfer Katie Winship (San Diego, CA/Carlsbad HS) notched her first goal as a Wildcat barely five minutes into the contest, when her shot was dropped into the net by the UALR goalkeeper.
With just under three minutes remaining in the game, Sabado capped the win for the Cats off an assist by Sanford.
Wildcat sophomore keeper Shannon Monti recorded her first collegiate shutout while making a pair of saves. The shutout was Arizona's first in 10 matches.
HEAD COACH LISA FRASER: Lisa Fraser (Sonoma State, 1985) has been with this fledgling Arizona program since its "birth" and has compiled a 29-60-4 record over her six seasons at the helm. She has a 103-131-19 record in 16 years as a head coach.
THE REST OF THE STAFF: Bruce Caris (Case Western Reserve, 1981) is in his second year as an assistant coach for the Cats. He assists with recruiting and works with the field players.
First-year assistant coach Andre Luciano (Indiana, 1993) is the newest face on the UA sidelines. His primary responsibilities are coaching the goalkeepers and working in the recruiting efforts.

In the NSCAA Regional Rankings, Baylor is holding down the No. 3 spot in the Central Region. Wisconsin-Milwaukee is 10th in the Great Lakes Region. USC is #2 in the West Region, followed by #3 UCLA, #4 BYU, #5 Stanford and #7 California.
THE "SANFORD & SABADO SHOW": The Wildcat offense so far this year has been dominated by Chrissy Sanford and Tiffany Sabado. The two have combined for 12 of the team's 17 goals and five of the 10 assists this season.
Either Sanford or Sabado, or both, has had an assist or a goal in each of the last six contests. Sanford has scored or assisted a goal in six of the season's eight matches, while Sabado has had a goal or an assist in five of the eight matches.
ON LOCATION: Arizona holds a 1-2-0 mark at home, is 1-2-0 on the road and is 2-0-0 in neutral matches. Last year, the Cats went 2-3-1 at home, were 0-6-1 on the road and 1-3-0 in neutral games.
CHECKING THE RECORD BOOK: As a team, Arizona is only four wins away from tying the school record of eight set in 1997. The Cats are also only nine goals away from tying the school record of 26, set by both the 1995 and 1997 teams.
With her seven goals, Chrissy Sanford stands in a tie for third place on the UA single season list in that category. She needs only four more goals to tie the school season record.
Sanford's 17 points places her in a tie for fourth on the season scoring chart, only 10 points out of first place.
Brooke McManus' 87 career shots puts her in third place in that category. Her eight goals ties her for fourth on the career chart, and her 20 points (eight goals, four assists) is fifth on the all-time scoring list.
Tiffany Sabado broke into the all-time top-10 in scoring last weekend, now standing in a tie for eighth with her 12 points (five goals, two assists).
Goalkeeper Inger Airheart has become Arizona's career leader in minutes played, with 3846.
ARIZONA IN THE PAC-10: Here's where the Wildcats stand in the Pac-10 statistics this week...
Individual Total Points 3. Chrissy Sanford 17 pts. t6. Tiffany Sabado 12 pts. t24. Kim McGehee 6 pts. Goals Scored t2. Chrissy Sanford 7 t7. Tiffany Sabado 5 Assists t7. Chrissy Sanford 3 GK Saves 7. Shannon Monti 23 9. Inger Airheart 20 Team Points t6. 44 Goals Against Ave. 10. 2.45GENERATING OFFENSE: The Wildcats have racked up 17 goals already this year, the most ever for the first eight matches of any season.
The four goals which the Cats collected at Northern Arizona on Aug. 27 were the most a UA team has ever scored in a season opener.
CLOSE BUT...: The outcome of nine of the Wildcats' 17 games last year was decided by one goal or less. The UA has already had three games decided by that narrow margin this season. In the six-year history of the Arizona soccer program, 41 matches have been decided by that one-goal-or-less differential.
TWICE IS NICE: Traditionally, the Cats have fared rather well when scoring two or more goals in a match. The UA has won the four of the five contests this season in which it has scored more than two goals.
Over the six years of Wildcat soccer, the UA has a 24-14-1 record when scoring two goals or more.
THE YEAR OF HYPHENATION: The Wildcats have three opponents with hyphenated school names on their schedule this year. The UA faced Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Sept. 11 and played Texas-El Paso and Arkansas-Little Rock last weekend. Previously, the UA has faced no more than two schools with hyphenated names.
PROWLIN' WITH THE WILDCATS: That's the name of the new magazine television show about UA athletics which is featured every two weeks on Fox Sports Net Arizona. Here's a schedule of upcoming shows (repeat airings of the same show are in italics)...
Wed. Oct. 6 7:30 p.m. Fri. Oct. 8 9 p.m. Tues. Oct. 19 7:30 p.m. Thurs. Oct. 21 8:30 p.m. Sat. Oct. 23 3:30 p.m.CAT SCRATCHES: Arizona has a 3-2 mark this season when Chrissy Sanford scores at least one goal... 17 different players have started one game or more for the Wildcats this season... Arizona is 0-7-0 all-time against nationally ranked teams... The Wildcats have only two seniors Megan Canaday and Michalle St. John on this year's roster, but the class of 2001 could see the Cats graduate eight players... An indicator of the program's youth, the Arizona rosters over the last three seasons have featured a combined total of only seven seniors... In a preseason poll of the Pac-10 coaches, Arizona was picked to finish last in the league standings.
RACKING UP THE GOALS: Chrissy Sanford is the first UA player ever to register two multiple-goal performances in the first three games of a season.
She dented the net twice both at Northern Arizona (Aug. 27) and against New Mexico (Sept. 5).
Sanford was the nation's leading scorer at the junior college level last year, tallying 41 goals and nine assists (91 points) while playing for Ventura (Calif.) Junior College.
MILESTONES: With the Cats' 4-1 victory at Northern Arizona on Aug. 27, UA head coach Lisa Fraser achieved the 100-win plateau for her career.
GOOD START OUT OF THE GATE: With their 3-1-0 mark at the start of the season, the Wildcats tied the program's best-ever start. The UA opened the 1995 season with a 3-1-0 record as well.
LOCAL CONNECTION: The 1999 Wildcat roster features six players from Tucson-area high schools -- Sally Barlow (Rincon), Jacy Corbus (Sunnyside), Kendra Gefvert (Mountain View), Kristi Loroa (Canyon del Oro), Erin Nelson (Sabino) and Kate Nighswander-Will (Catalina Foothills).
THE 1998 SEASON IN REVIEW: The University of Arizona women's soccer team ended the 1998 season with a 3-12-2 overall mark and was 0-8-1 in Pac-10 play, finishing last in the league standings.
The Cats set or tied 22 school records, including single season assists (20) and most overtime games played (four). By herself, Nikki Jones ended her stellar career at the UA as the owner of seven career records, finishing as the school's all-time leading scorer with 25 goals and 14 assists (64 points).
INDIVIDUALLY IN 1998: For the second time in her career, Nikki Jones ended the year as Arizona's scoring leader, collecting four goals and a career-high six assists (14 points). Brooke McManus and Kim McGehee tied for second with four goals and two assists (10 points) each, while Twila Kaufman was third with four goals (eight points).
Goalkeeper Inger Airheart ended the year with a 2.21 goals against average and made 88 saves, while Shannon Monti saw 55 minutes of playing time during the year, tallying six saves and a 6.55 GAA.

Hello Good and Gracious Survivor!
Positive possibilities are everywhere, even in things that are not so positive like being sexually abused or violated. Whatever has happened, whatever may be, there is good that can come from it.
Weakness is an opportunity to become stronger and ignorance is an opportunity to learn. Each challenge to move forward toward healing can push you to improve your effectiveness. But you must stay the course and never give up for one day you will be delivered and healed.
When guilt or self-blame are expressed as a result of the abuse, this is the time to look deep within yourself and gather your inner strength to heal. Pray and ask God to grant you an understanding of why this happened to you. Not only will He answer, but He will show you the goodness to come from the attack or event. But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. (Gen. 50:20) God has chosen you to go through this test to give you a testimony that will bless others.
So don't let yourself by discouraged by the shortcomings and disappointments that may happen in your life. Instead, quickly look for the positive opportunities in them. Always remember that no matter what the situation may be, there is good that can come from it. And you can be the person to bring that goodness to life.
With love,

10th ZilHijj – (3rd day of Hajj)
10th ZilHijj is a very busy day among the Hajj rites. Each pilgrim has to perform several obligatory, essential and optional duties.
First Duty
Standing (Waqoof) in Muzdalfa
In Muzdalfa, just after the morning prayer, stand for a few minutes facing in the direction of Ka`aba. The time available is very short as it ends a few minutes before sunrise. Invoke the bounty of God, pray and seek forgiveness for yourself.
Second Duty
Lapidation(stoning) of Jamrat -l-Aqabah (The greater Satan)
As the pilgrims travel back to Mina, their first duty is the stoning (Lapidation) of Jamarah-al-Aqabah (the greater Satan). The act is called "Rami" in which the pilgrim has to hurl seven pebbles one by one, striking the pillar; uttering الله اكبر "God is great. There is no other God but God". Stop the recitation of Talbiyah before lapidation and abstain from saying any other prayer or word in accordance with the tradition or making any other invocation.
On 10th ZilHijj, the time of Rami begins after sunrise and ends a little before the sunrise of next morning i.e. 11th ZilHijj. Should a pilgrim fails, for any reason to perform all or a part of Rami (the stoning of Satan) he must atone for it by sacrificing an animal or fasting.
The Rami of Jamarat on 10th, 11th and 12th day of ZilHijj are compulsory. Yet those who stay in Mina on 13th ZilHijj, they shall have to stone the Jamarat on this day too.
Third Duty
Immolation (sacrifice) of the animal
"It is not the meat (of the sacrificial animal) that reaches God neither their blood; it is your piety that reaches Him". (Al-Quran; 22:37)
Having finished the Rami (Stoning) of greater Satan, every pilgrim is duty bound to sacrifice a head of livestock. It can be goat, sheep or even a camel in participation. This sacrifice is to perpetrate the memory of great sacrifice of Abraham (PBUH), the great forefather of Muslims. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims from the four corners of the world who gather in Mina on this 10th day of ZilHijj celebrate the "Feast of Sacrifice" also known as "Eid-ul-Adha". Animal sacrifice is not obligatory or desirable for those who are performing Hajj of Ifrad class. Yet he can do so if he wishes.
The next rite after the sacrifice of the animal is the head shaving for men also call "Halaq".
One important thing to be noted here is that the sequence of rites is to be maintained at any cost. It can not and should not be altered. The sequence is
A similar condition shall be applicable on those performing who are performing Hajj in Qiran mode. One immolation of not sacrificing animal after Rami and of shaving head and other immolation, as normal in case of Hajj Qiran.
If one attains the position of thanksgiving sacrifice after keeping the three fasts or in between, he shall be bound to offer thanksgiving sacrifice without which he will not attain the religious legitimacy (Halal)
For observing the three fasts as atonement (Kaffara) it is necessary to say the word Tamattu or Qiran while declaring the intention of fast.
Fourth Obligatory Duty (Shaving of Head)
After performing the immolation (animal sacrifice) men pilgrims should get their heads shaved. They can even get their hairs trimmed or cut to an extent of one fourth. This cutting of one fourth of hairs is known as "Qasr". It is however, preferable to completely shave the head known more so as "Halaq".
Women pilgrims also should cut their hairs to an extent of 2 inches or equal to a length that can wrap their middle finger.
After the Halaq or Qasr the pilgrims can come out of Ehram to wear their normal dress.
More About Halaq or Qasr
After performing these acts on 10th ZilHijj ie Rami, Immolation and shaving of head, the pilgrim can take bath, come out of Ehram and its restriction, can wear his usual dress. All restrictions have now been removed. However, emotional or sexual relations are still prohibited till one perform the Tawaf-e-Ifadah (Tawaf-e-Ziarat)
In case a pilgrim performs Tawaf-e-Ifadah while in Ehram before shaving of head, the restrictions of Ehram shall continue till he shaves his head.
Time Limit of Halaq
The time to shave off the head (Halaq or Qasr) starts after stoning the greater Satan (Rami of Jamarat-ul-Aqba), followed by immolation, and lasts till the sunset of 12th ZilHijj.
The Holy Quran says: -
"That they may witness things that are of benefit to them, and mention the name of Allah on appointed days over the best of the cattle that He hath bestowed upon them. Then eat thereof and feed there with the poor unfortunate. Then let them make an end of their unkemptness and pay their vows and go and go around the ancient House". (Al-Hajj: 28,29)
