A football team's media guide is rarely a rich vein for a glimpse of the man off the field, but at least it usually provides a paragraph or two of personal information.
Not Bill Polian's brief biography on page 5 of the Indianapolis Colts 2009 media guide.
There's not a word there about the team president's family. Indeed, were Chris Polian not featured atop page 25 as the Colts vice president of football operations, his son would remain unlisted.
It's not that Polian doesn't care about his family or have off-field pursuits. In fact, he is by all accounts a model man in that regard, having reared four children with his wife, Eileen.
Rather, it seems to be that the football success that has followed him like a charmed snake fills the available space, as might be expected from one of only two men to be picked NFL executive of the year by The Sporting News five or more times.
Everywhere Polian has stopped -- Buffalo, Carolina, Indianapolis -- his teams have played in conference championships or Super Bowls. In his 22 seasons as a general manager or president, his teams have made the playoffs 16 times.
In the past 11 seasons, the Colts have the best regular season record in the NFL (128-48) and seven divisional titles. They made the playoffs 10 times.
In Super Bowl XLIV against the New Orleans Saints, the Colts will play for their second NFL crown in the past four years. In other words, dynasty kind of numbers.
Equally significant is how Polian built each of his franchises. The Bills and the Colts each had losing seasons the year before he arrived. He took the Panthers to the NFC championship game two years after their expansion birth.
"The proof is in that, " Detroit Lions offensive coordinator and former Rams head coach Scott Linehan said, pointing at the wins and losses. "He obviously puts the right players in the right system for that team. First of all he drafted maybe the best player on the planet 10 years or so ago, and he surrounded and continues to keep players around him that he needs to be successful each and every year."
Linehan referred to Peyton Manning, whom the Colts, coming off a 3-13 season, made the No. 1 pick in the 1998 NFL draft. The turnaround had begun.
But Polian's keen eye has not been confined to a franchise quarterback. He was behind the decision to let go of beloved Marshall Faulk and draft Edgerrin James, just has he later turned from James to LSU's Joseph Addai.
In the past 11 drafts, the evaluation team Polian leads has picked starting wide receivers Reggie Wayne, Anthony Gonzalez and Pierre Garcon; defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis; safeties Mike Doss and Bob Sanders; linebackers Rob Morris and Cato June; tight end Dallas Clark, and several linemen. Not all of those players will wear blue and white in Super Bowl XLIV. Some had their careers cut short by injury or were moved to other teams. But all of them contributed at one time or another in Indianapolis and helped make the Colts.
Nor has Polian's wisdom been confined to the draft. He has been nothing short of artistic in the rookie free agent market, adding players such as center Jeff Saturday and linebacker Gary Brackett, who have emerged as stars in Indianapolis.
"See, he's not just the offense, " Linehan said. "He's got the right kind of difference-makers in the key spots at all phases of the game."
Surely, though, some luck is involved in so often getting, say, the Faulk/James call correct?
"I think it's just smart, " Linehan said.
And yet, for all that indisputable success, there is something brittle to it, too. After building a Bills team that had gone to three consecutive Super Bowls, Polian was fired in a dispute with Buffalo executives. The principals have never discussed that parting of ways.
Then in December, the 14-0 Colts pulled their starters in a regular season game against the Jets and effectively tossed away their shot at a perfect regular season. On Polian's weekly radio show after that game, many fans vented until he grew testy and accused one of using, "talking points." His overall attitude, according to several listeners, was that the fans must abide by his decisions, and that their attitude was foolish.
"It's always percolated just underneath, " longtime Polian watcher Anthony Schoettle said of what he called a "love/hate" relationship the fans have with Polian. Schoettle writes about the Colts largely from an economic perspective with the Indianapolis Business Journal, and has followed Polian since his arrival.
There, too, Polian has proved a stellar executive, particularly in his deft massaging of the salary cap.
Polian is unfailingly polite and professional, Schoettle and others said. But Polian, a Brooklyn boy, does not suffer fools gladly, and sometimes his personality clashes with the more genial and stoic sort that populates the Midwest.
"He can be brusque, there's a Northeastern quality about him, " Schoettle said. "He's this tough guy; it's my way or the highway. He's kind of like Bobby Knight in that regard, another legend in these parts."
Some of the reaction to the Jets loss was eased when the Colts defeated the Jets in the AFC championship.
"Forgiven because they got to the Super Bowl but not forgotten, " Schoettle said. "The fans really wanted a perfect season, or they really wanted the team to go for a perfect season."
In an interview this month with The Indianapolis Star, Polian flashed both the acidic temper and the intelligence for which he is noted. For example, when the paper asked about the decision to forego an attempt at the perfect season -- a move by Coach Jim Caldwell that was also fully endorsed by owner Jim Irsay -- Polian brushed it aside.
"Nowhere to go with that, " he said. "It's finished and done with."
He then spoke with genuine passion and knowledge when assessing the trajectory the Colts have followed the past decade or so. One of the things that struck him upon arrival in Indianapolis, he said, was how new and therefore shallow the relationship between the team and the fan base was.
He made that point immediately to Irsay, who had just become the youngest owner in the NFL.
"We don't have two or three generations of Colts fans the way teams like Cleveland, Buffalo, Green Bay have, where children are born into those families and have that loyalty passed down from grandfather to father to son, " he recalled telling Irsay.
That has changed now. This season the Colts moved into Lucas Oil Stadium, glorious new digs that will host the Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. There are no open seats, and to an amazing degree those who pack it each weekend are clad in deep-blue Colts jerseys.
And when The Star asked him about Manning's impact and status with the fans, Polian flashed his knowledge of athletes held in real esteem by Hoosiers.
"He maybe eclipses Roger Brown, " Polian replied, referring to a basketball legend with the Indiana Pacers. "I don't know if that's the case or not, but he and Reggie Miller probably are the two greatest athletes in the city's history, and will go down as such. (Peyton) will be an Indiana legend the rest of his life, along with (Bobby) Slick Leonard and Isiah (Thomas)."
Should the fans ever expand that list to the front office, a victory against the Saints in Super Bowl XLIV might put Polian there, too.

The following is a bio and hot photos of tennis player Simona Halep from Romania. As you can see in the slideshow of photos, Simona Halep is pretty hot. Simona is also starting to make a name for herself in tennis. Hope you enjoy the photos in the slideshow.
Hot photos of tennis player Simona Halep in 2014
Simona Halep was born on September 27, 1991, in Constanta, Romania. Simona came upon her athletic ability naturally, as her father is a former professional soccer player who played in the lower leagues in Romania.
At the age of four, Simona Halep started playing tennis, and by the age of six she was playing daily. As Simona kept improving in tennis, it looked like she could have a career in the sport and she moved to Bucharest when she was 16 to pursue a career in tennis.
After having success playing in juniors and on the ITF circuit, Simona Halep started playing WTA tennis regularly in 2010. Simona believes that a big part of her success came from having breast-reduction surgery in 2009.
By 2013, Simona Halep was starting to win multiple WTA titles. Simona also started having success in the Grand Slam events too in 2013, as she reached the fourth round of the U.S. Open that year. Simona Halep was named the WTA's most improved player in 2013.
So far in 2014, Simona Halep has become a force in women's tennis. She made the quarter-finals at the Australian Open this year, and made her first career Grand Slam singles final at the 2014 French Open, playing against Maria Sharapova.
Hope you enjoy the hot photos of Simona Halep in the slideshow. Watch for Simona at tennis events this year.

Charles Ruff Takes Historical Pleasure in Announcing 'the Watergate Prosecution Rests'
"The pure lawyer work—the trials, the papers, the briefs—will not be matched again," says Ruff, who followed Archibald Cox, Leon Jaworski and Henry Ruth into the job. "We weren't perfect. We lost some cases we should have won, but I think without question this office had the highest level of lawyering of any prosecutor's office I know about."
Ruff, 38, joined the staff in 1973 and took over for the departing Ruth two years later. "There was never a question of saying no," he says, recalling such historic showdowns as the 1974 Supreme Court decision on access to presidential tapes in U.S. versus Nixon. "No prosecutor ever gets a chance to be close to that kind of an issue more than once in his life."
At the same time, he admits, the job was often painful—as last month when he faced his old boss John Mitchell in court: "I worked for him at Justice and I'd always found him to be straight with me. It was sad to watch a former Attorney General being sent to jail." No less trying was the decision on whether to charge Gerald Ford with campaign expense violations. Ruff's office cleared the President. "There were a lot of sleepless nights," he remembers. "Coming out of that with our sense of professional responsibility intact was probably my greatest personal satisfaction."
Ruff has faced great challenge before. When he was barely out of Columbia Law and married for only one year (he met wife Susan at Swarthmore), a mysterious virus paralyzed his legs. He and Susan were in Liberia on a Ford Foundation project and, he recalls, "by the time I got back to the States whatever little things had floated around in my blood were no longer there, so no one ever figured out what it was. I got through only because of Sue," he adds. "She was incredibly supportive."
His handicap slowed him not at all. Besides his work at Justice, he has taught at several law schools and served as acting chief inspector of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Ruff's next post is expected to be inspector-general of HEW—a role perhaps closer to his self-description as "confirmed bureaucrat" than the Special Prosecutor's job.
He has nothing but admiration for the men who preceded him as prosecutor, but disagrees with Jaworski's contention that Nixon could never have received a fair trial. "There is no question he could have gotten one," Ruff says. "The question is when. The judge might have had to go through a lot of jurors. It would have taken time."
Like other Watergate lawyers, Ruff is disappointed over losing the milk-price support case against John Connally ("When you lose you feel godawful") and winning only minimal sentences for infractions of campaign-financing laws. But he takes peculiar satisfaction in his role as a footnote to Watergate. "I couldn't pass up the chance," he says with a smile, "to be a trivia question 20 years from now when they ask: 'Who was the last Special Prosecutor?' "

When it comes to playing games like Monopoly, Clue, or classic card games, do you know what the correct rules are? If you've lost the official game rule sheet or want to brush up on your favorite game's instructions, consider heading online to the following sites to find instructions for an assortment of games.
Whether you're playing Monopoly, Clue, Operation, or any other Hasbro game, consider checking out Hasbro's official website for the official rules. Instructions for many games are also available in French and Spanish, and the site includes instructions for special editions of its traditional games, too.
Let's say you scooped up a packet of Uno cards at a garage sale, only to discover it doesn't have any instructions. What do you do? Head to Mattel's site, where you can search through a list of games that include Balderdash, Apples to Apples, and Angry Birds.
For other board games, a quick query via your favorite search engine should yield instructions. Just type the game's name and "game rules," and you will likely find the instructions. Keep in mind it's possible you will find instructions on a site that is not affiliated with the game's manufacturer, especially if the game is older.
What about classic outdoor games like tag or hopscotch? If you're a bit rusty on the rules, then take a look at the Kids Games website. The site also includes rules for jump-rope, hand-clapping and jacks and marbles.
For card sharks, knowing the right way to play poker, rummy and other card games is important. Pagat.com has an extensive list of rules for card and tile games.

Dear thinkateers:
Back from the Revolution in Quebec City
Salut, mes amis.
I'm not an expert in international economics, so I don't know if there's any truth to the claims that free trade is bad for the oppressed minorities in Third World countries. What I do know is that protests like the one in April in Quebec City are a great way to meet and pick up chicks.
There are so many hippie chicks and trust fund babies with a social conscience at these protests, just ready to hook up, and having a mullet like I do certainly brought in some stares.
A lot of these chicks want to talk revolution and oppressed masses and smashing capitalism and big corporations, but I found out during the protests in DC that if you can quote some Marx to them, or say you're saving up to visit Cuba, or even better North Korea, then these girls will spread pink for you in a heartbeat.
(A friend of mine likes to wear a beret like that Che Guerrero guy who helped Castro in Cuba, but a beret doesn't look good with a mullet.) A weird thing is that these chicks talk about being against big corporations that are polluting the world and cheating the underclass around the world but they constantly smoke cigarettes made by big global corporations.
The companies they do boycott seem to be the ones who make soap and razors because some of these girls smell rank and don't ever seem to wash.
So on Saturday of the big Quebec protests, there was what was called a 'political rave' in a warehouse. It was such a cool site with the peeps coming in smelling of tear gas, talking about what they smashed up that day, the cops they hit and the sh*t they threw at them.
This was supposed to be a drug-free event, which pissed me off, but I had no trouble scoring some X during the night and smoking a blunt with some special K sprinkled in with the weed. I was flying, scoping the hippie chicks, wanting to know what was beneath those long peasant dresses they wore, or their hemp shirts and pants.
There was a guy flashing pictures up on a wall and I asked if he had one of Lennon. He said sure and flashes this bald guy with a pointy beard. That ain't Lennon, I tell him. Sure is, he says back. I told him John Lennon, and this jerk starts calling Lennon a socialist sellout and a fake.
I wanted to deck the guy but caught the eye of a cute hippie chick and went to dance with her instead. Later we banged out in her Jaguar convertible under the stars. It was a great time and I recommend that if these anti-free trade, anti-WTO protests come to your town to enjoy what they have to offer.
Workers of the world, unite.
... you sad pathetic lying f*ck of a man. There is NO WAY you scored any play in Quebec with a mullet and your bad attitude. In fact, you probably weren't even THERE. And I'm sure you even know that people in the Third World aren't "minorities" at all, but are just taking a pish at our little letters page expense. Did you know that Marx was supported in part by interest on Engels' trust fund? Contradictions abound, but you ain't never got laid in no Jaguar. And Lenin got the funk, too.
Dear Think,
How are you? This is Martin from Technical Support, now TSP records. Was that article (April #44) really from Mr Mcveigh? Interesting he talks about that when we've really not heard a peep out of him about that "other matter" even when he has the world's media at his feet. The BBC told me he is some kind of fascist but he doesn't sound much like one. Take Care,
- Martin, <tsp records, Skolska 26, Praha 1, 0602 212100>
... yes that was really by Tim McVeigh, and no, the crazy b*stard doesn't sound like a fascist. Who knows what he is. Anyway, please know that just because we published his essay doesn't mean we in any way endorse what he did. We advocate evolution, not revolution, and not bombing little kids.
Dear Think:
In response to Alexander Zaitchik's piece on Czech racists ("Czech Neo-Fascism Today"), I am wondering what the American Jew expats here think about the Nazis. Are they fighting them?
Were any of those militants American Jews who were outside the Czech Nazi party meeting? I would have gone if I had been told about it! What are the demographics of this group? Are some actively working against Nazis, are others only mildly tsk-tsking the way the Roma are treated here, while they work for conservative multinationals?
Do they think about who may lived in their apartments only until 1938 or so? When they are woken up by the door buzzer early in the morning, or late at night, do they think, as I occasionally do, that about 60 years ago this meant something worse for Jews, Roma, communists and anarchists than a little water leak into the downstairs neighbor's apartment?
I have met young Jews who are still in general afraid of going to Germany, but more because of a general feeling than fear of specific Nazi groups. While there are some public Jews in Prague, I have been told that Jews aren't generally out here. That is, most don't make themselves obvious here by wearing yarmakules, mogen-davids and the like.
Without these identifiers Jews don't generally stand out, especially in a place like Prague where there are lots of different kinds of white people. I have only met one Czech Jewish man, that is, who I knew to be one, by accident.
I was told by some Czech friends that a woman who was meeting us at a restaurant was Jewish, but was later told, just in time, that I not could say I knew, as she did not like to be identified as such.
I don't go around saying "Jsem Zid" out of context, and it is not my main identity, but I have the luxury of anonymity.
Romas and other people of color - not to mention many Bulgarians, Romanians, Ukrainians, Russians (all of whom may be obvious because of their accent), anarchists and maybe even women - don't have that benefit.
Perhaps Jews, whether or not they are religious, and other folks I'll call "stealth minorities" should out themselves to show solidarity with those that cannot hide. This means you tourists, too. One final question: What would happen if Nazis started targeting American Jewish tourists, expats or Israeli Jews?
- Todd Edelman, Prague 3
... an expat organization that kept up with anti-fascist demos is a good idea. And you're right about benefiting from anonymity, although some thugs would enjoy taking out ANY American, Jewish or not.

As a general rule, for direct-entry programs, students must present a competitive average across the five high school subjects required for their program of choice. For details on the particular requirements of each program, see the charts in the Viewbook, or visit Programs & Requirements.
Mature Students (nonmatriculated applicants) may be granted special consideration in the admissions process for certain programs. Please visit Other Routes to see further details.
Students are encouraged to apply early, as they will be considered for admission based on the earliest indicators of their success.
Students can apply beginning October 1 of their Grade 12 year, using their final Grade 11 marks. In some cases, high-achieving students may receive an offer based on these Grade 11 marks alone. Most students will need to present some combination of final Grade 11 and final first-semester Grade 12 marks in order to be considered.
For linear schools, we will accept interim Grade 12 grades, provided that they reflect at least half of the course content. If students are not eligible the first time they are assessed, they will be re-assessed once they submit new final marks.
For more details on evaluation criteria, visit Admissions 101 »
Qualified applicants will receive a single, firm admission offer in the spring. Offers may have some basic conditions attached, but students will only receive one offer. (Please note that we no longer offer "Early" or "Final" admission – just "Admission.")
Students who receive an admission offer need to accept their offer by the deadline in order to secure their place at the U of A.
As part of the offer acceptance process, students must pay a $500 tuition deposit. This amount is credited towards their final tuition fees. Students can accept their offer by logging in to Bear Tracks and clicking "Accept Offer" next to the program of their choice. In order to retain their admission offer, students must meet any conditions stated in the offer letter.
Students applying to the Faculty of Engineering will be required to maintain a competitive average in their required Grade 12 courses. For the most comprehensive and up-to-date overview on admissions and requirements, visit Admissions 101.

Well the title says it all. Got a mask I bought off ebay and it looks a little cheap. Was hoping to fix up the rot so it looks more real. Current trying to fix the hair too which hasn't been glued on properly as tuffs of hair come out when you run your fingers through it.
I've been trying to remove the excess hair and then tweak it a little to look somewhat more movie accurate.
Once that's done I just want to go over the rot which has even been neglected in certain parts.

The New Rose of Tralee
2012-08-22 12:00:00
Tuesday was another busy day for me as I prepared for another round of Rose of Tralee live interviews that night. The Roses on the first night did so well that I wasn't sure if myself and my fellow judges were going to be able to choose a winner. I was looking forward to seeing what night two would bring but I was also nervous about making my final decision on who should be crowned the new Rose of Tralee.
That evening we were all seated in the Dome and ready for the start of the show and even at that stage you could feel the amazing atmosphere. The support for all the Roses was amazing but there were definitely a few fans that were louder than others! As with the previous night all the Roses did exceptionally well in their interviews and showcasing their talents. Also, Dáithí got to show his talent of walking in high heels at one stage which I'm sure Rita was delighted to see!
After the interviews the crowd were treated to a performance by the Coronas while we made our final decision on the Roses and it was definitely not easy! Once he had all the Roses back on stage Dáithí congratulated them all and announced that the 2012 Rose of Tralee was the Luxembourg Rose, Nicola McEvoy! On behalf of the Carlton Group I'd like to congratulate Nicola on her role as the new Rose of Tralee and I look forward to working with her over the next 12 months.
It's been another busy Rose of Tralee Festival but as always I've enjoyed every minute of it!

Building a 100-year bridge
Rebuilding Upper and Lower Wacker Drive in Chicago, workers place high-performance concrete on a 2,800-square-foot upper deck placement. The white plastic ducts house post-tensioning cables. Specifications call for a 100-year service life. Photos: Joe Nasvik
A worker sets up the form superstructure.
A worker puts the finishing touches on a beam form. Notice the close truss spacing for the deck spanning a traffic lane below.
Testing and quality control are seen as vital to the project's success. Flood Testing Laboratories represented McHugh Construction, making sure ready-mix trucks met specifications before unloading.
The top 2 inches of the deck is latex-modified concrete to provide an impermeable surface that resists chloride. This layer is intended to be sacrificial and will be replaced as needed.
The high-performance concrete used on this project included silica fume. Because slight amounts of water loss in silica-fume concrete results in cracking, curing blankets were placed and saturated shortly after the concrete was placed.
Forming the deck
To achieve the vertical clearance required for Lower Wacker Drive traffic, the thickness of the upper deck was reduced from 19 to 13 inches — a thinner and more reinforced deck.
McHugh keeps two 11-foot-wide traffic lanes open during forming and concrete placement operations. Driveways to underground parking and loading docks also are kept open, but redirected around form supports.
Richard Phelen, a general superintendent for McHugh, says the company's using Peri forms. The shores rest on mud-deck or wood timbers and extend 14 feet to support the deck forms. McHugh places by crane 15-foot-wide preassembled form tables with support beams over the traffic lanes and loading dock entrances.
Andrew Keaschall, project engineer for Alfred Benesch and Co., Chicago, says the 100-year service life requirement provides the backdrop for many of the project's engineering decisions.
Chicago experiences severe winters with numerous freeze/thaw cycles and the city's DOT uses large amounts of deicing chemicals. Eliminating the possibility of cracks is key because chlorides penetrates cracks, causing reinforcement to corrode.
The solution? Post-tensioned reinforcement to create a zero-tension deck. Cracks can't develop over time because the deck will always be in compression.
To achieve zero tension, however, you must overcome shrinkage forces in the concrete and supporting loads wherever they occur. Alfred Benesch engineers worked with Dywidag Systems International, Bolingbrook, Ill., to design the post-tensioned reinforcement system.
"We used the system to balance the gravity loads and provide overall compression so there's is no tension in the deck," says Keaschall. "Tendons are located every 1½ to 2 feet in both directions and are draped between columns to support midspan loads."
Installing the system
The tensioning system includes wedge boxes on the form edges attached to plastic post-tensioning strand ducts. Installing tendons in the transverse direction is difficult because the deck extends to building walls on both sides, leaving no room to install cables in the ducts after concrete placement. The weight of each transverse post-tensioning strand duct with the five preloaded cables totals 600 pounds.
"We couldn't place them by crane, so the 150 ducts for each deck placement were lifted and placed by several ironworkers," says Mike Lally, a McHugh superintendent.
His crew placed longitudinal wedge boxes and ducts at 2-foot intervals. There are an additional five ducts with nine cables in each beam. All the post-tensioning strand cables are tensioned from both ends. The cables are stressed to 41,000 pounds when the concrete reaches 4,200 psi compressive strength. All the cables in a duct are pulled at the same time. When the job is complete, the ducts are filled with a special concrete grout mix — about 60,000 pounds of grout to fill all the ducts for each deck placement. "We place grout 10 continuous hours; no stops are allowed," says Lally.

This book focuses on the wolves
of Yellowstone, mostly in the northern range. All wolves are wild free roaming animals photographed in
their natural environment.
Most are identified by research number, pack name, or
researcher nickname
whenever possible.

Also available in 13x11. Click Author's Bookstore tab.
Most of my work is wildlife. Although I do other genres. My preference is North American predators. The favorite being gray wolves. My love for wolves goes back to when I was a boy, I have always found them fascinating. Having shot at various locations, I have found the choice location for wolves, grizzlies, and other large animals is Yellowstone. Some of my publishing credits include: National Geographic Television, Wolf Print Magazine, National Geographic Children's Books, , Endangered Species Coalition, American Scientist Magazine, National Wolfwatcher Coalition, Wolves of The Rockies, Huffington Post, Indian Country Today, Newsy.com (online news), Spektrum der Wissenschaft (German Science Magazine), International Wolf Center, Center for Biological Diversity... Other publications include numerous online conservation groups and organizations throughout the US and Europe, in addition to book and magazine publications in Germany, Australia, and the UK.

Meat, a Bad Idea for Breast Cancer
Humans are genetically adapted to expect a high intake of natural and unprocessed plant-derived substances. Cancer is a disease of maladaptation. It results primarily from a body's lacking critical substances found in different types of vegetation, many of which are still undiscovered, that are metabolically necessary for normal protective function. Natural foods unadulterated by man are highly complex—so complex that the exact structure and the majority of compounds they contain are not precisely known. A tomato, for example, contains more than ten thousand different phytochemicals.Conversely, eating lots of animal products and meat has the opposite effect. Need proof? Check out this study in the International Journal of Cancer. Here's the abstract:
Meat intake has been positively associated with risk of digestive tract cancers in several epidemiological studies, while data on the relation of meat intake with cancer risk at most other sites are inconsistent. The overall data set, derived from an integrated series of case-control studies conducted in northern Italy between 1983 and 1996, included the following incident, histologically confirmed neoplasms: oral cavity, pharynx and esophagus (n = 497), stomach (n = 745), colon (n = 828), rectum (n = 498), liver (n = 428), gallbladder (n = 60), pancreas (n = 362), larynx (n = 242), breast (n = 3,412), endometrium (n = 750), ovary (n = 971), prostate (n = 127), bladder (n = 431), kidney (n = 190), thyroid (n = 208), Hodgkin's disease (n = 80), non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (n = 200) and multiple myelomas (n = 120). Controls were 7,990 patients admitted to hospital for acute, non-neoplastic conditions unrelated to long-term modifications in diet. The multivariate odds ratios (ORs) for the highest tertile of red meat intake (7 times/week) compared with the lowest (3 times/week) were 1.6 for stomach, 1.9 for colon, 1.7 for rectal, 1.6 for pancreatic, 1.6 for bladder, 1.2 for breast, 1.5 for endometrial and 1.3 for ovarian cancer. ORs showed no significant heterogeneity across strata of age at diagnosis and sex. No convincing relation with red meat intake emerged for cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx and esophagus, liver, gallbladder, larynx, kidney, thyroid, prostate, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and multiple myeloma. For none of the neoplasms considered was there a significant inverse relationship with red meat intake. Thus, reducing red meat intake might lower the risk for several common neoplasms.You just can't be solid concrete research. Want more? Get load of this study in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention. The PCRM sent it over:
A substudy of the Diet, Cancer and Health study, a prospective cohort study established to evaluate the role of diet and cancer among 24,697 postmenopausal Danish women, was set up to evaluate the relationship between meat consumption and risk of breast cancer. This nested study looked at 378 women who developed breast cancer and matched them to controls who did not develop breast cancer. A higher intake of meat (red meat, poultry, fish, and processed meat) was associated with a significantly higher breast cancer incidence rate. Every 25 gram increase in consumption of total meat, red meat, and processed meat led to a 9, 15, and 23 percent increase in risk of breast cancer, respectively. However, the degree of risk may depend on genetics. Certain genes activate the carcinogens (heterocyclic amines) found in cooked meat. The study showed women with genes that rapidly activate these carcinogens are at particular risk of breast cancer if they eat meat.Now, for more ways to prevent breast cancer, Dr. Fuhrman whipped up this list of ways women can protect themselves. Have a look:
1. Do not drink alcohol.I'm no doctor, but, I bet these tips would help against all cancers. What do you think?
2. Do not smoke.
3. Do not take estrogen.
4. Have babies and nurse them for two years each.
5. Avoid dietary carcinogens, which are predominantly found in fatty fish and dairy fat.
6. Eat a high-nutrient, vegetable-based diet as described in my book, Eat To Live. Green vegetables are the most powerful anti-breast cancer food. Take note that a vegetarian diet does not show protection against breast cancer as much as a diet rich in green vegetables, berries, and seeds. It is the phytochemical nutrient density and diversity of the diet that offers the most dramatic protection against cancer, not merely the avoidance of meat or fat.
7. Take a multivitamin to assure nutritional completeness and take at least 100mg of DHA daily.
8. Use one tablespoon of ground flax seeds daily.
9. Don't grill or fry foods. Steaming vegetables or making vegetable soups should be the major extent of cooking.
10. Exercise at least three hours a week, and maintain a lean body with little body fat.

There is a public pool, a golf course, huge playing fields and a fishing pier. But there is also a secret to this 118 acre recreational hotspot. Blue Cypress Park was once the site of Oran Baxter's St. Isabel plantation. It is another link in Arlington's Kingsley connection, reaching from Zephania and Anna Kingley's home on Fort George Island to John and Mary Kingsley Sammis plantation at Clifton. Zephaniah made family members out of business associates John Sammis and Oran Baxter by the marriage of his daughters Mary and Martha to them in the 1820's.
A decade later, Oran and Martha had built their plantation called St. Isabel into a thriving business. Tragically, Oran would not get to enjoy his life's work and died prematurely in 1847. Unsecured debts on the land now came due but Martha, having inherited her mother's business acumen, managed to reverse her fortune in just seven years, becoming one of the ten wealthiest people in Duval County.
Martha, a quadroon and legally considered a negro, exemplified the complex relationships and business ethics of many free blacks in the planter society that had developed along the northern St. Johns River corridor. At one point, she owned almost fifty slaves. Despite this, she was a staunch and outspoken Union supporter throughout the Civil War. When her home burned to the ground in December of 1864, it was said to be the work of Confederate guerillas. The effort of rebuilding surely contributed to Martha's death in 1870 here at St. Isabel. Husband and wife were reunited in the Clifton cemetery, although Martha's grave is unmarked.
Blue Cypress Park has another secret as well. There is a boardwalk along the St. Johns riverbank that will guide visitors to the adjacent 36 acre Lion's Club Park. An excellent place to fish or birdwatch, the boardwalk is also a great platform to observe all manner of commercial ship traffic, from barges to tankers offloading at the Talleyrand terminal.
Find it: Blue Cypress Park is located at 4012 University Blvd., N. There are two entrances; the first driveway allows access to the pool. The second driveway leads to the playing field, picnic shelter and golf course. Follow the road past the shelter and turn right at the fairway. This road leads to the fishing pier and boardwalk. Watch for golf carts!
The Arlington Lions Club Park entrance is north of Blue Cypress Park at 4322-1 Richard Denby Gatlin Road. You can park in the lot here and hike to the Blue Cypress pier or vice versa. Both parks close at sunset.

The winter weather advisories cover another 27 counties from 6 p.m. this evening to 6 p.m. Tuesday including Benton, Bolivar, Claiborne, Coahoma, De Soto, Grenada, Hinds, Kemper, Lafayette, Lauderdale, Leake, Leflore, Madison, Marshall, Neshoba, Newton, Panola, Quitman, Rankin, Scott, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Tate, Tunica, Warren, Washington and Yalobusha. This does include the capital city of Jackson.
"An approaching weather system will combine with cold air and bring a risk of multiple winter precipitation types for tonight into Tuesday. The precipitation will be in the form of freezing rain, sleet and light snow," the NWS said.
"Ice accumulations are expected to reach near one quarter of an inch(with some amounts up to half of an inch) with some snow accumulation as well," the NWS added.
The significant icing expected will have the potential to bring down trees and power lines across the winter storm warning area in addition to causing bridges and overpasses to become ice-covered.
The select cities of Yazoo City, Winona, Starkville, Rolling Fork, Pickens, Durant, Columbus, West Point, Maben, Mathiston, Lexington and Goodman are most at risk for significant freezing rain. However, a mix of sleet, freezing rain and plain rain will also be likely down to the I-20 corridor from Vicksburg to Jackson.
Where the cold air will be deeper in the atmosphere in northern Mississippi, snowfall accumulations of one to three inches, primarily north of the Highway 82 corridor. Most areas south of I-20 will mainly see a cold rain during this event.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency are urging residents to get prepared and stay aware of changing road conditions as winter storm moves through the area.
Both agencies will be following weather conditions through the day Monday in preparation to salt and sand roads across the region.

After his performance, Mitchell will hang out with Littles and their Bigs at Denny's restaurant. "We are so thankful VaShawn Mitchell is taking his time to meet one-to-one with Little Brothers and Little Sisters in our program," said Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Upstate Spartanburg County Director Charlene Cheeks. "His time and donation from his cd sales will help our 'Littles' succeed in school and in life."

"Well organized. The ride went too fast, should be 4-6 laps."
"Expected 3 laps at speed, but first lap was acceleration and last lap was slowing down for half the lap. Still exciting to do!"
"I really enjoyed the NASCAR riding experience. It was very cool to get a feel for the power of the car and what the drivers are doing. I did 6 laps with very few cars on the track and I can't imagine doing 600 laps, maintaining control at those speeds with so many other cars around, cutting each other off, etc. It would be very demanding and grueling. It was fun climbing in and out of the car. I was afraid once I got in I wouldn't be able to get back out. I'm not as young as I used to be. I'd recommend anyone to ride along but I'm not in a hurry to be the driver! "

Wiz Khalifa's new video for the song "Taylor Gang" deeply reflects the essential values of the Taylor Gang, a.k.a his crew and his fans: Smoke so much weed. With your friends. In a house.
The video features Khalifa and company illuminated by a single, overexposed spotlight. It feels voyeuristic—one female participant's face is obscured by a manic smiley face—but it also lacks menace and feels improvised, as if we are stationed among Khalifa's crew and we are also completely high, shuffling through whole packs of people in unfashionable basements. Meanwhile, Khalifa delivers lyrics that don't so much elaborate on this theme as much as reinforce it bluntly: "Rolex, mo' sex, good weed, no stress," he raps, and which he later rhymes in his candid, free-associative style with "Lift weights, Boflex."

Here is my fifth of 10 previews and predictions on the SEC bowl games in college football this season including the BCS National Championship.
Capital One Bowl
#9 South Carolina (10-2) vs. #19 Wisconsin (9-3)
Jan. 1 / 1 p.m. / ABC
Florida Citrus Bowl (65,438) / Orlando, Fla.
Series History: First Meeting
VegasInsider Point Spread: Wisconsin -1 ½
Vinny's Vibe: I love this game. This game isn't being discussed enough. Wisconsin, quietly, is great in more team statistical categories than almost anyone else in the country, short of Florida State. What Wisconsin is known for, and is best at, is running the football. The Badgers have a fantastic trio of running backs led by Melvin Gordon and James White. They can run tough between the tackles and can also get to the outside. South Carolina is seeking its third consecutive 11-win season after recording its first in 2011. SC has won 14-straight against non-SEC teams. Jadeveon Clowney will draw the most attention in the game, but DT Kelcy Quarles and the rest of the front-seven have to play well versus the run. The Gamecocks will be more balanced on offense. I think Mike Davis and Connor Shaw will have enough success on the ground to allow Shaw to make plays in the passing game that the Badgers won't be able to match.
South Carolina 27 Wisconsin 26

College Hockey:Notre Dame No. 1, St. Cloud State New No. 2 In USCHO.com/CSTV Poll
MINNEAPOLIS — Notre Dame narrowly held onto the top spot in the USCHO.com/CSTV Division I men's poll released Monday, edging out St. Cloud State despite the Huskies' statement weekend against Minnesota. The Fighting Irish, who split Friday and Saturday with Ferris State, earned 20 first-place votes to remain No. 1 for the fourth straight week.
St. Cloud was the new No. 2, rising two places and claiming 15 first-place votes after an impressive road sweep of the Golden Gophers, who dropped two places to fourth overall but still retained three first-place votes.
Sandwiched between the WCHA rivals was New Hampshire, which split with Providence to stay in third. The Wildcats, who took the remaining two first-place votes, were accompanied in the top five by fellow Hockey East member Boston University, which again came in at No. 5 after splitting with Vermont.
The next three teams in the poll also held their ground, with Clarkson in sixth after losing to Princeton and beating Quinnipiac, while Denver and North Dakota, which split last weekend, were again Nos. 7 and 8, respectively.
Boston College returned to the top 10 at No. 9 by sweeping Massachusetts-Lowell, and Miami edged down a spot to 10th with a split against Northern Michigan.
Opening the second half of the rankings was Maine, which rose one place after taking two wins against Merrimack. Following the Black Bears was Michigan; the Wolverines dropped two notches by splitting with Ohio State.
St. Lawrence continued to nose up the rankings, reaching No. 13 this week after beating Quinnipiac but losing to Princeton, and Michigan State dropped one place to 14th in the aftermath of its split with Bowling Green. Vermont was No. 15, up to spots with its split against BU.
Massachusetts beat Northeastern twice and moved up two places to No. 16 this week, with Colorado College falling two spots to 17th after dropping two games to Minnesota State.
Entering the poll this time around were Michigan Tech, now No. 18 thanks to a pair of wins over Wisconsin, and Dartmouth at No. 19 with victories over Cornell and Colgate. The Big Red clung to the last spot in the poll, losing to the Big Green and then Harvard.
Dropping out since last week were Wisconsin and Quinnipiac.

How calculate all subgroups of $(Z_{12}, +)$? I know that the order of subgroups divide the order of the group, but there is such a smart way to calculate the subgroups of order 6?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
$\mathbb Z_{12}$ is cyclic, which means all of its subgroups are cyclic as well.
$\mathbb Z_{12}$ has $\phi (12)=4$ generators: $1, 5, 7$ and $11$, $Z_{12}=\langle1 \rangle=\langle 5 \rangle=\langle 7 \rangle=\langle 11 \rangle$.
Now pick an element of $\mathbb Z_{12}$ that is not a generator, say $2$. Calculate all of the elements in $\langle2 \rangle$. This is a subgroup. Repeat this for a different non-generating element. You should find $6$ subgroups.
Hint: If a subgroup contains an element $n$, then it also contains $n+n, n+n+n, \ldots$
Adding to above theoretical nice approaches; you can use GAP to find all subgroups of $\mathbb Z_{12}$ as well:

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Kathy Wakile always wanted her sister Rosie Pierre to find love. On the show, the girls often took Rosie to lesbian bars so she could meet someone on the show. However, it sounds like she needed someone to help her, as she may not have met someone on her own. According to a new Bravo report published on Jan. 6, "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Kathy Wakile's sister is now speaking out about her experience on being on "Millionaire Matchmaker."
Rosie went on "Millionaire Matchmaker" to get Patti Stanger's help in meeting some good ladies. Kathy met one woman that Rosie dated in the past, so one can imagine that she wants to find the best for her. And now, Bravo wants to know how the dating experience went for Rosie, as the show didn't provide an update.
"I am very grateful to Patti for having me on the show and for the support I get from my sister Kathy and brother-in-law Rich," she writes. "Matchmaker definitely helped me with being more comfortable with going out and dating. Although we didn't find my match it was very nice getting to know some of the ladies and the experience was helpful. Since then, I was able to be more confident and I was very fortunate to meet someone here on the East Coast. We are having a great time together and enjoying some fun and exciting times. We have a lot in common. She is a kind, warm, great-hearted person with a fun-loving sense of humor not to mention she is also very beautiful inside and out!"
It sounds like these two are indeed still together. "I am really starting to enjoy life more and share great times together," she adds. "She is very supportive with all my career endeavors which is also a great quality. It's a perfect way to live life…fun, love, share and laugh together! Thats all of now."
Rosie and Kathy are about to film the newest season of the show, so one has to wonder if she will be featured on the show. Do you want to meet Rosie's new girl?

We consider ourselves risk-takers when it comes to adding bold colors to our decor, but we still paused before purchasing this Vintage Canary Lamp ($650) from Hillary Thomas Designs. It's certainly a swoon-worthy piece, but can we really make the green and yellow work in our homes? Pfft! Of course we can! It's probably time for a change anyway. We're going to put it on the nightstand and search for a complimentary yellow duvet to help spruce up the boudoir!
