Know Your Numbers
Know Your Numbers is a wellness initiative for full-time university employees and spouses that takes place during the seven-week break. Dates: July 27 through August 28.
It is focused on empowering individuals to take control of their health through knowing their personal health numbers. Participants will learn their blood pressure, blood sugar, BMI (body mass index), waist circumference, and cholesterol and the recommendations for each of those.
This service is free to employees with DMBA insurance and will receive a $50 rebate for their participation.
To participate in Know Your Numbers, you must set-up an appointment with the Student Health Center. You may call the Health Center at 208-496-9330 or email the Wellness Coordinator directly at firstname.lastname@example.com .
**If you would like to be tested while school is in session (not the 7 week break), please contact the Health Center at 208-496-9330 to schedule an appointment. They do the exact same testing and you will still receive the $50 rebate from DMBA.
NOTE: You cannot eat for twelve hours prior to your appointment.

Although cholesterol is a substance that is necessary for our bodies to function, it is important that we keep it at a healthy level. Cholesterol is made naturally in our bodies and is in some foods we eat (like eggs, cheese, and meats). There are good cholesterols and bad cholesterols. Good cholesterol (HDLs) regulates the bad cholesterol and protects against heart disease and stroke. Bad cholesterol (LDLs) clogs arteries and increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. Triglycerides are fats that are the result of overweight/obesity, physical inactivity, smoking, or eating excess carbohydrates and alcohol.
How to Improve
- Increase your amount of physical activity (aim for 150 minutes/week)
- Eat more fruits and vegetables
- Eat foods that are high in fiber
- Reduce intake of saturated and trans fats and limit cholesterol
|Blood Pressure
|Below 120/80
|Above 140/90
|Above 150/100
|Hypertension I
|Above 160/110
|Hypertension II
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force of blood against the arteries in our body. High blood pressure is associated with a greater risk of stroke, aneurysms, blood clots or plaque buildup, kidney failure, or heart attack. Other risk factors include family history, age, physical inactivity, poor diet, and being overweight.
How to Improve
- Eat a well-balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, and high fiber foods. Choose foods that are low in fat and sugar. Eat more potassium.
- Increase physical activity and manage your weight.
- Reduce your stress level.
- Medication, if prescribed.
|Body Mass Index
|< 18
|Healthy Weight
The body mass index (BMI) is an estimate of body fat. It is an estimate because it doesn't account for muscle mass. It can overestimate body fat in athletes or those with more muscle, and underestimate body fat in older people or those who have lost muscle mass. A higher BMI (overweight or obese) may indicate a greater risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, type II diabetes, and gallstones.
|Waist Circumference
|Men: < 40 in. Optimal
|Women: < 35 in. Optimal
The Basics
Waist circumference measures for extra fat around the stomach. If there is more fat around the waist rather than the hips, there is a greater risk of heart disease and type II diabetes.

O'Bannon Ruling: NCAA Loses
A federal judge has ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in the Ed O'Bannon v. NCAA antitrust case, knocking down the restrictions against college athletes profiting off their name, image, and likeness.
A federal judge has ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in the Ed O'Bannon v. NCAA antitrust case, knocking down the restrictions against college athletes profiting off their name, image, and likeness.
There will be no new release of an EA NCAA Football game this year. The man most frequently blamed for this is a former UCLA basketball star named Ed O'Bannon, who had the temerity to sue the NCAA and EA for using his image without asking permission and without negotiating to pay for it.
The Military Bowl is no one's idea of a major college football bowl game. It's a shitty bowl, in fact, inviting five-loss teams to stage background-noise football two days after Christmas. Despite that, every player from Maryland and Marshall will receive a PlayStation 4 for showing up this year.
Electronic Arts has budgeted $40 million to settle lawsuits brought by college football players against its NCAA Football series, which EA Sports canceled last month. The publisher reported the figure to investors today. Though the settlement has yet to be made public, the figure is consistent with rumors reported in…
EA Sports will not publish any college football video game next year, the label said moments ago, citing ongoing litigation brought by current and former college players that threatens to change how all of big-time college sports does business.
For the second time, a federal appeals court has struck down a key defense Electronic Arts has used in its long-running legal fight against college athletes who say their likenesses have been used in EA Sports video games without their permission.
Two letters and a number. That's all you need to be a household name in college football—or its video game, at least. But this year, when NCAA Football 14 hits shelves on Tuesday, South Carolina's fearsome DE#7 and Texas A&M's do-it-all QB#2 will be joined, for the first time, by active players appearing under their…
Real college football players' names are not supposed to appear in video games if they're still in school at the time they are published. But Tim Tebow's name slipped into NCAA Football 10, which came out during the Heisman Trophy winner's senior year at Florida.
A federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit brought by a college quarterback against EA Sports, on grounds the video game publisher used his likeness without permission in their popular NCAA Football series.
EA Sports' former executive producer on NCAA Football testified that the game "generally tried to make the players perform as their real life counterparts, short of their name and likeness." EA and the NCAA are defendants in a potential class-action suit over the unauthorized use of college players' likenesses.
For many sports fans, a number is as identifiable as a name. Growing up far away from a professional team, those numbers didn't really imprint on me until I covered football for four years at college. Ever since, I remember uniform numerals not with a name, but as a name.

*Bullying Topic*
Over a year ago
Theres a recent news that really shocked me!!! (Amanda Todd's story) It has been one of the most horrible things I have seen & read!!! What is happening in this world, bullying is an issue that is so common & seems that this topic is like neglected!!! Theres many heartless people out there & even more sad to know that theres lot of more people like Amanda who are suffering/suffered the way she did!!!
I wonder why theres so many animal cruelty in this world. If most of the people dont care about each other how it can be possible that one of those individuals love & protect an animal from any harm?
Any bullying victim, I encourage you to speak up! You arent alone, theres always going to be someone that would care. Is not the same to pass thru this alone than with someone by your side. "Union make force" <3

My stepdad told me that I was going to hell because of my religious beliefs and he said I had my brothers and sisters and I had evil in our hearts and so we couldn't see my baby sisters because we would "make them like us". I ran away to my dads house but now my stepmum is being mean about my mental disorder. I have an anxiety disorder and lately it's gotten a lot worse under stress and I began stuttering and having really faint conscious nightmares and thinking about horrible things happening to me but them she just tells me off for crying or stuttering. It makes me feel really terrible and she wouldn't let me see my psychologist until I literally nearly went mad. It's really stressful and her cognitive behavioural therapy shit makes me feel really bad. She knows my worst fear is being unaccepted and being told that I'm wrong and she knows that I am SO paranoid about it [to the extent of hearing peoples conversations and my mind automatically altering it to be something bad about me] I've been having nightmares about being unnacepted since I was six!

Statistics For All-Time Greats
Posted by Justin Kubatko on August 20, 2010
Just a short post to let you know that the site was updated this morning with statistics for 400+ all-time greats (e.g., Glenn Davis, Roger Staubach, and Herschel Walker). Also, we should be adding partial rosters and statistics for many pre-2000 schools in the coming months. At first we will not have complete coverage for these years, but rest assured that one of our long-term goals will be to fill in the gaps in our data.

First, I love this website! Second, can you post the complete rosters/player stats for all college footbal National Champions? I'm a huge Michigan fan and I'd like to see the roster and stats from the 1996-97 team. Also, I searched for Barry Sanders the other day and there were no pro or college stats for him. I see that you added some 400+ players, but I have not searched for him since the additions. Lastly, the baseball and basketball sites are great. I hope both college and pro football will be as good as them one day. Thanks for your time and attention to this matter. Again, I love this site!

Congratulations on the new segment! Really usefull.
I know that it's the birth of CFBR, but I hope someday we'll see some other stats like: height; weight; games played; sacks and TFLs, addded to the database.
Keep up the outstanding work!

Moments of some gestures may stand out from our constantly flowing life-time as memorable experiences. We feel subjective moments as our psychological present. Few behavioral acts can express a shared subjective experience so easily observable than people's embraces after a significant life-event. Spontaneous embraces from the 2008 Summer Olympics Games were analysed, and were found to last for about 3 s, comparable to previously described perceptual and motor units in humans and also in other primate species. These 3-s segments of time are suggested to be the basic temporal building blocks of our behaviourally expressed subjective experiences.

The Apple MacBook Pro 15in (Early 2011) makes many breakthroughs, none visible from the outside - yet one of those revisions alone may transform personal computing thanks to a welcome boost in connectivity speeds. We take a closer look at the quad-core 15in MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt connector
It's been heralded for years now, but Apple is the first to market with the fastest computing technology we've ever seen.
And we're not talking about the Intel Sandy Bridge processor inside, even if this is also the first notebook with a second-gen Intel Core Series processor to pass through the PC Advisor Test Centre.
No, what makes this laptop a true pathfinder is its connectivity.
Joining the ubiquitous USB 2.0 and the faster FireWire ports is a new connector, now dubbed Thunderbolt.
This is the electrical incarnation of Intel's Light Peak technology, conceived as a hyper-fast optical connection standard for uniting computers and their peripherals. It may not be ready in its optical form just yet, but we're already promised technology here to deliver 10 gigabit per second (Gbps) transfers.
Rock that Unibody
Externally to the casual eye, there's nothing that will differentiate this new MacBook Pro from the last. It uses exactly the same industrial design, based on a monocoque chassis milled from solid aluminium.
There's the same backlit keyboard assembled from Scrabble pieces, large multi-touch trackpad, and edge-to-edge glass-fronted display. Those holding out for a redesign of the casework may have to wait for the succeeding series.
But why count down those days anyway? Well, aside from the ill-conceived reflective glass screen, this Unibody generation of Mac portable bucks a common trend almost set in stone by modern computing.
That is, the current Apple MacBook Pro design is bigger and heavier than its predecessor.
Before Apple launched this shape of MacBook Pro in late 2008, the 15in model measured 357 x 242mm, was 25mm thick and weighed 2.45kg.
With the Unibody revision of autumn 2008, the 15in Apple portable gained weight and girth, now up at 2.54kg and 364 x 249 mm.
It's no heavier than much of the Windows competition though; and importantly, stronger. Considerably stronger, not to say more elegant.
Two versions of MacBook Pro are offered prêt á porter - both taking quad-core Intel Core i7 chips, running at either 2.0GHz or 2.2GHz. This is the controversial 32nm Sandy Bridge series, which early tests have already established is a marked step-up in performance from the previous processor generation.
Out goes nVidia graphics processors, replaced with AMD cards in the 15in model, while falling back to a revised integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics solution when high-calibre horsepower is not required.
As with the last generation, this MacBook Pro will switch between GPUs without user intervention. But this system is not without its issues.

More Apple Mac notebook reviews
Last year's Apple MacBook Pro 15in review
Thunderbolt demonstrated at CeBIT by Promise Technology
We tried using Skype 5 for Mac, for instance, and noticed that the MacBook Pro was switching to high-power graphics. That's overkill for an app that normally only has to field low-res video, where the integrated Intel graphics would be more than capable of rendering these, or indeed high-definition video. The result is unnecessarily short run times from battery power.
Whether this error is Apple's or Skype's is immaterial: the end user should be able to rely on intelligent switching working correctly to get best battery performance. But for interested users, there are ways to override less-than-clever switching choices.
While Apple doesn't give much fine-grained control of graphics cards, gfxCardStatus, a freeware program, has fortunately just been updated to v2.0.1 for use with AMD GPUs.
This little app sits in the menu bar and allows you to manually switch between Intel and AMD graphics. Or you can set it to stay Intel for battery use, and AMD on mains power. It will also tell you which apps are invoking a switch to AMD/nVidia when in Apple's default dynamic-switching mode.
Storage upgrade
For storage the new MacBook Pro models still rely on the 2.5in SATA notebook hard disk, 5400rpm as standard; or you can specify 7200rpm drives or even an SSD when ordering online from the Apple Store.
We were impressed to see that Apple has updated the Serial ATA bus to SATA 6Gbps. Even though the 5400rpm hard disk inside won't make use of the added bandwidth, there are more SSDs becoming available now that do, such as the Crucial RealSSD C300.
Less certain is OS X's support for the TRIM command on SSD storage.
Some early reports have suggested that the software build of Snow Leopard already installed on these new models will activate this technology (which keeps SSDs in a healthy state by pre-erasing unwanted data blocks) - although perhaps only when using SSDs supplied by Apple at time of purchase.
Other commentators have questioned the need for TRIM in Mac OS X, since the operating system seems to manage quite well without it. Anecdotally, MacBooks used by the author, and fitted with both Apple and third-party SSDs, have not been subjectively slowed down, as Windows machines fitted with SSDs are wont to do after use.
We did see a useful improvement in the webcam image on this new MacBook Pro model. Apple has only provided VGA-resolution video on its iSight cameras ever since it pioneered putting webcams in laptop screen bezels in 2006.
So in place of 0.3-megapixel (640x480-pixel) resolution, we now have a 0.9-megapixel widescreen-format camera available, boasting 1280x720 resolution.
And its low-light performance is markedly improved too, as we discovered by comparing video-chat quality between MacBook models.
Update: Older models too may have been fitted with HD-capable sensors, up to 1280x1024, but were limited in software to 640x480.
AMD Radeon graphics
The new graphics processor introduces DirectX 11 support to a Mac portable for the first time.
While this has zero interest for full-time Mac OS X users, it does allow some more sophisticated graphics effects from certain Windows games when running Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
More usefully for all, the raw speed of this AMD card beats the nVidia chips previously favoured by Apple.
In the FEAR game benchmark, the new Apple MacBook Pro with AMD Radeon 6750M could average 92 frames per second (fps) at Maximum quality.
That's a generous quick-step in the right direction, if compared to the 57fps we saw from the previous fastest 15in MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) with nVidia GT 330M. So in this example, we can see a 62% games performance lift.
We also tried our STALKER: Call of Pripyat benchmark, which enables benchmarking of Microsoft DirectX 11 graphics rendering.
At entry-HD resolution of 1280x720 and Medium detail, we saw a 'daytime' average of 35fps, rising to 70fps in the 'rain' setting.
At the MacBook Pro's native screen resolution of 1440x900 and highest detail settings within the game, these figures were maintained to playable framerates of 35fps and 41fps in the same two game environments.
But it's the Intel Core i7 processor that really lets the new MacBook Pro 2011 soar.
We thought the previous model was quite nippy when it scored 115 points in the WorldBench 6 test. With its Sandy Bridge quad-core chip, this MacBook Pro scored 132 points in the same test.
To put that into perspective, that's the kind of score that performance-tuned £1000 desktop Windows PC systems were garnering eight months ago in our labs.
NEXT PAGE: Thunderbolt thoughts >>
Right now, the remarkable 10Gb/s advertised speed of the Thunderbolt connection remains untested and will have to be taken on trust. We simply have nothing to connect to the Thunderbolt port, other than an Apple LCD display.
At the UK press launch of the range, we saw a LaCie Little Big Disk external SSD and a Promise Pegasus R6 six-bay RAID drive – the latter connected and working – but at present no other devices using Thunderbolt technology have been announced, let alone launched.
What we have seen at CeBIT 2011 in March was a Promise R6 delivering 625MB/s read speeds as it channeled four uncompressed 10-bit HD video streams to a MacBook Pro over Thunderbolt.
Impressive, but only a fraction of what the spec suggests is possible. Or more precisely, exactly half of the nominal throughput rating, since 10Gb/s equals 1250MB/s.
Shaped like the Mini DisplayPort that's been used on Apple Macs for two years, this Thunderbolt connector is also still required to connect an external display.
That monitor would have be at the end of a daisy-chained string of Thunderbolted devices though, with your high-performance RAID or solid-state storage connected in between.
Which we forsee introducing a problem in daily use: most desktop peripherals are connected in a more hub-like fashion, with mice and keyboards and thumbdrives and cameras all taking their own separate wired link to the PC. This makes removal of any one device a simple matter of pulling out its plug.
Thunderbolt, like FireWire before it, uses a chained approach to connection, all devices linked to each other down a line with a single point of connection on the computer.
Say you want to remove your super-fast external SSD drive that's in the chain. By unplugging this device, you'll lose your picture on the monitor at the end of the chain. You'll also be required to manually dismount any other storage devices connected after that SSD.
As soon as Thunderbolt devices start to hit the market, what we'll need is a Thunderbolt hub, and quickly.

Externally, this 2011 revision to the 2008-design Apple MacBook Pro isn't even evolutionary, since there's no visible change - save a lightning legend logo by the Mini DisplayPort connector. But since that port is actually a Thunderport link, this may just turn out to be a revolutionary development in the history of personal computing. Now, at last, we can shift data between devices at 21st, rather than 20th-century speeds. But the other upgrades to this season's MBP should not be forgotten: a Sandy Bridge quad-core processor that makes this portable as fast as a race-tuned desktop from last year; and AMD graphics that outpace the nVidia kit by a serious margin too. If you need workstation power in an inch-thick slab, we can't think of any reason to look elsewhere for the best notebook on the planet.

Its not good but its not bad. As the population grows and majority of students are commuters, we will probably need more attention in transportation sooner rather than later.
Transportation is great because I have my own car. But I do see they have shuttle bus and metro is out front of the school is to get to.
The transportation options are very good. Metro access is good, close by and runs pretty often. The metro station is also pretty close which makes it easier and more convenient. The shuttle is also a very good resource, helps those without a car get to the station.
There is a free shuttle bus to the nearest metro sation you can take as transportation. The shuttle bus also runs pretty late even later on the weekends. Taxi's also pass by Trinity often.
there are 3 buses that stop directly in front of the campus close to two or three stations and also very close to two other schools which bus happens to take you directly there

The weather is constantly changing. It could be warm one day and snowing the next, which really throws you off sometimes if you're coming from out of state. When it does snow a lot, everyone seems to aviod venturing off campus because of the slippery roads, which aren't plowed that well. When the weather is pretty warm out, most students go down to the lake and enjoy soaking in the sun and going for a dip.
Beautiful summer, fall and spring months. Warm weather, and a short walk to the lake lead to a great experience. Winter, although it can be cold is great. Between the annual toboggan races, weekly shuttles to ski mountains, and class room views of a snow covered Mount Washington, winter doesn't seem to bad.
Lots of Snow – In the winter it snows a lot. We have a lot of commuters so classes are canceled if it's really bad. The cleanup crew is really good about clearing pathways, so getting to class when it snows is not bad. When the weather is nice everyone is outside :)

The study presents the findings of an experiment conducted during the 1993 Canadian fedeal election campaign. Students in two universities were exposed to a ten-minute presentation about the rational model of voting and the 'paradox' that so many people vote when it is apparently irrational on a cost-benefit basis. Our data indicate that exposure to the presentation decreased turnout in the election by seven percentage points. This result contributes to the debate abut the effect of rational-choice models on real political behavior. More important, the experimental panel data permit the presentation's effect to be decomposed, and this helps explain why people do vote. In this study, turnout was reduced mainly because the presentation diminished the respondents' sense of duty, an effect that was indirect, because there was no reference in the presentation to such motives. Framing the voting act in rational-choice terms induced some students to reconsider whether they should feel obliged to vote.

This book, while not very expensive, was only 40 pages long. It was more like a book proposal than an actual novel.
I love her books BUT this story was just too short for me plus the story was too fast.
Rip off
And it ends on page 37! Brutal ...
Gena is a great writer! I can never put her books down! This one was of corse too short for me but it was great!
Cute romantic short story.
Dont miss any books from this author if u like paranormal romance. Zane and Nola are hot!!
This was another very good story from Gena, a little short, but very ok.
I loved all of the other books in this series!! But this one is only 40 pages long. I kept thinking this was a sample, but nope, that's it. I also felt the author was getting tired when she got to this book. While I feel all other books in the series are definitely 5 stars, this one just didn't grab my attention as much.
Continuation of her Atlantis series. This is a short story and you need to have read the previous book to understand what's going on.
This book was not long enough to have a real plot. I found myself several times confused by what they were talking about. It seemed more like a cnclusion to a novel than ts own story.
Gena does it again! Even in only 40 pages she managed to put together a great story :)
I really loved this book
It was a good book
Loved this book. Wish it had been longer. Want to read more with the amazons and vampires.
I love every series she has written! I highly recommend her books!!
Was a great quick read
Very disappointing, but I have read may of her other paranormal books and they great This book seems to be written by someone else. Don't bother with this one.
It was ok a little short
Very good short story, now I want to read the rest of the series!
It was good, short read. Wish I could have had more development.
This was good for a novella and since its free I'm not mad that it was short but I wish her novels were free thats how much I liked the story.
Is this the frist book of the series
Okay I guess.
I love her books all the way around. Though i do agree that this book is too short, i still enjoyed learning about the characters after the gods games : ) i recomend reading all of her books she is one of my favorite authors.

Health & Pregnancy
Setting Up a Safe Nursery
In this article
Wow, your baby is going to come home soon! Are you ready?
Some of your decisions for setting up the nursery may be easy, like using your childhood dresser. But others may be harder to make. Where should everything go? What looks best? What's safest?
Where to Put Your Baby's Crib
The best place to put the crib is near the door of your baby's room so you can quickly reach her when you're stumbling around in the middle of the night, or in case of an emergency. Also, follow these safety guidelines as you place the crib.
- Never put your baby's crib near a window. Babies and toddlers can get caught in drapes or window blind cords -- even fall through window screens.
- Clear the crib area. Place cribs as far away from all electrical cords as possible. Also, don't put a crib under shelves or anything heavy that could fall off the wall and onto your baby.
- Don't hang anything near your baby's crib with strings or ribbons. These are choking hazards. That includes crib mobiles -- even they need to be hung out of your baby's reach. Remove them altogether when you baby is able to sit up.
Practical and Safe Furniture Arrangement
The changing table is most efficient nearby the crib. Don't put all your changing supplies under the table. Instead, put some in a place where you don't have to bend over to get them. You may want to have changing supplies in other areas of the house as well for convenience.
You'll probably find it most convenient if your chair or rocker is also near the crib and door. You won't have far to go to transfer your sleeping babe, and you can make a quick getaway afterwards.
Your sweet, tiny newborn won't be moving around alone. But think ahead -- your toddler will. And one thing most toddlers love to do is climb. This means you need to secure all tall and heavy furniture to the walls using furniture straps. It's much easier to do it now -- when you're first putting the furniture in place -- than to try and remember later.
Use furniture straps to secure your baby's:
- Dresser
- Changing table
- Bookshelf
- Toy box

I have been running Jetpack on my site for about 2 years without a problem. I logged in today and noticed that the stats were not on the main Dashboard page. I then went into my plugins page and saw it was deactivated. I reactivated it and then went to try to reconnect it and I got the following error:
Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: token_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host. name lookup timed out
*Bolded strings were in a box highlighting them.
I have tried multiple times and I cannot get it to reconnect. I was able to login to wordpress.com and see that it is still tracking stats and they are all there but unable to basically import that into the WP install's dashboard.
Any thoughts

CM Punk demanded a fight
BILOXI, Miss. – It'll take more than a two-on-one thrashing and a trip through a table to keep CM Punk down. Still banged-up from his beating at the hands of Ryback and Curtis Axel last week, The Second City Saint took to the stage in Biloxi, Miss. for one final address before he fights The Human Wrecking Ball at WWE Battleground.
The former WWE Champion promised to keep his fight going until he got his hands on either Heyman or his cronies, but Raw GM Brad Maddox wasn't about to allow Punk to jump the gun on Battleground. Maddox did seem ready to offer Punk the "outlet for his aggression" the former champion so desired, yet the arrival of (and subsequent surprise attack from) Big E Langston pre-empted any official decision. Conveniently, though, Maddox was all too happy to capitalize on Langston's attack, and ordered a referee down to make the melee official.
CM Punk def. Big E Langston
CM Punk has a tall task ahead of him on Sunday against Ryback, but the former WWE Champion showed size doesn't necessarily matter on Raw when he toppled the mighty Big E Langston in an impromptu match to start the show. Reeling at first from Big E's vicious surprise attack, Punk fought from underneath for the majority of the contest, attempting to chop the big man down with precision strikes while Langston relied on pure strength to keep The Straight Edge Superstar at bay.
Photos: Punk fells Langston | Big man down
Two attempts to administer the Go to Sleep ended in disaster for the fighting-mad Chicago native, yet it proved to be endurance that made the difference in the bout when The Second City Saint found his wind and unleashed a stream of offense that left Langston staggering. A running knee and clothesline got the ball rolling, a flying elbow set the big man up, and Punk's third GTS finally hit home, blasting the titan into unconsciousness and sealing the win for CM Punk.
Paul Heyman 'proposed' to Ryback
Daniel Bryan's not the only one who had a big proposal in mind this week. Ever since he was "saved" by Ryback at Night of Champions, Paul Heyman's had a spring in his step and he decided to make it official in Mississippi: Promising to make an "honest man" out of Ryback, Heyman quite literally bent the knee before "The Big Guy" and humbly proposed that he become the latest Paul Heyman Guy.
Heyman pops the question | Photos of the aftermath
Before Ryback could respond, though, CM Punk's music sounded once again and the former WWE Champion made his entrance through the crowd, though he apparently tweaked his knee hopping the barricade. With his defenses lowered, Heyman slowly approached his former protégé and Punk revealed the injury was a ruse, producing a Kendo stick from beneath the ring and going to town on Heyman, Ryback, and finally Curtis Axel, who ran down to save his boss and was promptly put to sleep for his troubles.
Paul Heyman confronted CM Punk
CM Punk has come home to Chicago, Blackhawks jersey and all, and he's got a few things on his mind. In his first appearance since being pinned by Paul Heyman at Night of Champions, a visibly happy-to-be-home Second City Saint addressed his hometown with a twofold apology: First, for failing to bring the Stanley Cup to Raw, and second, for failing to make good on his promise to annihilate the mad scientist eight days earlier.
While Punk vowed to channel his beloved 'Hawks and bounce back from his slump, Heyman ruined the moment by rolling out on a scooter to goad the "Second Best in the World" into a frenzy. The ECW mastermind's escape plan hit a snag when his wheels broke down, but before Punk could reach his target, he was intercepted by Curtis Axel and Ryback, who brought the hometown hero's night to an ugly ending by putting him through a table at ringside.

well i have the wp-postratings plugin, and in the readme file, the usage about getting ratings on page id is written on shortcode as [rating id="1"] where 1 is id number of the post.
My question is, is it possible to use
<?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
and call the id number of other post as well? I mean, what i'm trying to do is similar of what [rating id="1"] does. But instead, i'm trying to use the php code to put it in the templates and not as shortcode.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Djokovic Knocks Out Federer; Li Reaches Women's Final
MELBOURNE, Australia—Serbian Novak Djokovic defeated defending champion Roger Federer Thursday night, setting the stage for the first Grand Slam final in three years that won't feature either No. 2 Mr. Federer or No. 1 Rafael Nadal.
The dominance of Messrs. Federer and Nadal has become such that many thought the two would meet again in this year's Australian Open final. Those hopes were dashed when Mr. Nadal suffered a hamstring injury in his semifinals match and, playing with limited mobility, fell to fellow Spaniard David Ferrer.
Earlier Thursday, Li Na became the first Chinese woman to qualify for a Grand Slam final on Thursday by defeating No. 1-ranked Caroline Wozniacki in a gripping encounter that saw the 20-year-old Dane just one point away from victory.
The Road to the Finals
Responding to remarks by a commentator that Mr. Federer's loss could mark the end of the Federer-Nadal duopoly, Mr. Federer said, "They say that very quickly. Let's talk in six months again."
No. 3-ranked Mr. Djokovic also said it was premature to call the end of the Federer-Nadal juggernaut, but he did say there was an upside to the field opening up to a larger pool of Grand Slam title contenders.
"On one side it's good for the sport to have more players being able to win against Federer and Nadal," Mr. Djokovic said. "All the credit to them what they have done in the last five, six years. They've been very dominant and just a great example of champions. It was really hard to challenge them, especially in the big events where they play their best tennis. Now these things are changing a little bit, so from that perspective it's good for the sport."
Mr. Djokovic's victory came after a tense, hard-fought match on center court Thursday night with both men playing aggressive, tireless tennis. With Mr. Federer missing his one chance to convert a break point in the first set, both held serve throughout a set full of long, suspenseful rallies. The set ended in a tiebreak, in which Mr. Djokovic took an early lead and clinched the tiebreak on an unforced error by Mr. Federer. The Swiss star would end the match with 44 unforced errors, to the Serb's 35.
The second set was even more suspenseful with Mr. Djokovic taking an early break in the third game, to which Mr. Federer responded by promptly breaking him back. When Mr. Federer broke him a second time and followed up by holding his serve to establish a 5-2 lead, it looked as though fans could be in for a five-setter. But Mr. Djokovic held his serve and then on Mr. Federer's serve, he broke back yet again with a forehand passing shot.
At 4-5, Mr. Djokovic followed that performance by holding serve and then breaking Mr. Federer one more time to establish a 6-5 lead. From there Mr. Djokovic didn't even concede a point in the following game to close out the second set 7-5.
By the third set, Mr. Federer started to show signs of fraying. In a protracted second game, Mr. Federer failed to convert three break points. In the third game, Mr. Federer committed four unforced errors, the last of which allowed Mr. Djokovic to convert a break point to take a 2-1 lead in the set. Bringing out some of his characteristic forehand winners, Mr. Federer managed to it tie it at 4-4, but Mr. Djokovic broke him in a critical ninth game to take the lead again and close out the match, 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-4.
Mr. Djokovic now faces the winner of the semifinal match Friday between No. 7 Mr. Ferrer and No. 5 Andy Murray.
Against Mr. Murray, Djokovic has won four of their seven matches. Against Mr. Ferrer, he has won five of nine.
On the women's side, No. 11 Ms. Li will have to overcome a formidable opponent in No. 3 Kim Clijsters to bring China its first Grand Slam title on Saturday. Ms. Clijsters, who steamrolled through her semifinal match against Vera Zvonareva, and has yet to lose a set in the tournament.
The victories of the 28-year-old Chinese and the 27-year-old Belgian continued a recent trend of mature players prevailing over younger ones. Only one teenager currently ranks among the world's top 20 players, 19-year-old Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia.
Ms. Li's victory was sure to delight tennis executives who hope to generate enthusiasm for the sport in China. But Ms. Li sought to minimize the larger significance of her achievement.
The victory was "good for me, good for my team," Ms. Li said. "Maybe good for China. I'm not sure."
Ms. Wozniacki will remain No. 1 in the world despite her defeat, but she will also remain a top-ranked player without a Grand Slam victory, and will likely face questions over the legitimacy of her status as the world's best.
In Thursday's match, Ms. Li was in the form of her life. She has not lost a match so far this year, after capturing the biggest title of her career in Sydney this month. In this year's Australian Open she hadn't lost a set before conceding the first one to Ms. Wozniacki on Thursday.
Ms. Li's two victories over Ms. Wozniacki last year—including one in the fourth round of the Australian Open—indicated the Danish counterpuncher was a good match for Ms. Li's aggressive game.
And so it was. While Ms. Li dominated most exchanges from the start, Ms. Wozniacki's superior defensive skills allowed her to win most points. Ms. Wozniacki was doing what she does best: keeping the points going until her opponent overplays. Indeed, Ms. Li committed 51 unforced errors to Ms. Wozniacki's 24.
During the first set Ms. Li also showed signs of fragile nerves. She double faulted on crucial points and failed to put away easy volleys.
But these misses didn't derail her, and she kept pounding Ms. Wozniacki with flat strokes even after losing the first set 6-3. Even when Ms. Wozniacki was serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set, Ms. Li stuck to her game plan and saved one match point bravely before breaking Ms. Wozniacki's serve.
That determination appeared to rattle Ms. Wozniacki, and nervousness switched sides. Ms. Wozniacki gifted the second set to her opponent on a double fault.
The 28-year-old Ms. Li barely looked back from that moment, and Ms. Wozniacki's relentless cover of the court proved insufficient in the third set, where Ms. Li scored 15 winners and her opponent none. After more than two and a half hours, the small but vocal group of Chinese supporters leapt to their feet as Ms. Li won the match 3-6, 7-5, 6-3.
In Thursday's other semifinal, Ms. Clijsters never left much doubt over the match's outcome. She adopted the kind of focus she has displayed during the whole fortnight and finished with a comfortable 6-3,6-3 victory, spending half as much time on the court as Ms. Li.
Ms. Clijsters, who is expected to displace Ms. Zvonareva as No. 2 in the rankings Monday, will be heavily favored going into the final, having reached that stage a total of seven times and won three major titles.
But she will do well to remember the last time she faced Ms. Li. In the final of the Sydney tune-up event the week before the Australian Open, Ms. Li dispatched the Belgian star in straight sets despite trailing 5-0 in the first.
"We are a very similar type of players," Ms. Clijsters said. "It will be an interesting one."
A place in tennis history will surely rank high among Ms. Li's motivations to do well on Saturday, but when asked what got her through critical moments of her semifinal, Ms. Li didn't hesitate. "Prize money," she said jokingly.
The winner on Saturday is set to earn A$2.2 million ($2.19 million), the highest paycheck in Grand Slam history.
Back on the men's side, Mr. Djokovic remarked on the double faults he committed and said it's normal at this time in the tournament.
"I have been serving well under pressure, even though I got a little bit tight and made some double faults in the third set when I was up a break," Mr. Djokovic said. "That's normal under the circumstance in the late stages of the tournament against Roger. I knew that I had to use my chances."
Mr. Djokovic and Mr. Federer have met 19 times before, with Mr. Federer having won 13 of those contests. The last time the two faced off in a Grand Slam was when Mr. Djokovic knocked him out of the semifinals of the U.S Open in 2010 in a five-setter.
Inside Rod Laver Arena, Mr. Djokovic had a spirited cheering section, at times behaving a bit more like soccer fans than tennis fans normally do. While Mr. Federer looked flustered at various points during the match, he did not attribute that to the Serbian's boisterous fans.
"I thought he played a great match. I didn't think I played bad myself," Mr. Federer said, insisting he could have played longer than the three hours the men spent on court. "It was intense. We had long, tough rallies and played at a very high speed and everything. So sure, you feel it a little bit, but obviously I was ready for another two sets easily. Pity I couldn't push him there."
Against Mr. Murray, Mr. Djokovic has won four of their seven matches. Against Ferrer, he has won five of nine.
Mr. Murray, a finalist both here in 2010 and at the U.S. Open in 2008, is chasing his first Grand Slam title. Mr. Djokovic won the Australian Open in 2008, the last Grand Slam final in which neither Messrs. Federer nor Nadal competed.

Product Description
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship continue their quest to destroy the One Ring and stand against the evil of the dark lord Sauron. The Fellowship has divided and now find themselves taking different paths to defeating Sauron and his allies. Their destinies now lie at two towers - Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupted wizard Saruman waits and Sauron's fortress at Baraddur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor.
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: The final battle for Middle-earth begins. Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron, so that the Ring-bearer may complete his quest.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is a seamless continuation of Peter Jackson's epic fantasy based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. After the breaking of the Fellowship, Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) journey to Mordor to destroy the One Ring of Power with the creature Gollum as their guide. Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) join in the defense of the people of Rohan, who are the first target in the eradication of the race of Men by the renegade wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee) and the dark lord Sauron. Fantastic creatures, astounding visual effects, and a climactic battle at the fortress of Helm's Deep make The Two Towers a worthy successor to The Fellowship of the Ring, grander in scale but retaining the story's emotional intimacy. These two films are perhaps the greatest fantasy films ever made, but they're merely a prelude to the cataclysmic events of The Return of the King. --David Horiuchi
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: With The Return of the King, the greatest fantasy epic in film history draws to a grand and glorious conclusion. Director Peter Jackson's awe-inspiring adaptation of the Tolkien classic The Lord of the Rings could never fully satisfy those who remain exclusively loyal to Tolkien's expansive literature, but as a showcase for physical and technical craftsmanship it is unsurpassed in pure scale and ambition, setting milestone after cinematic milestone as the brave yet charmingly innocent Hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood) continues his mission to Mordor, where he is destined to destroy the soul-corrupting One Ring of Power in the molten lava of Mount Doom. While the heir to the kingdom of Men, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), endures the massive battle at Minas Tirith with the allegiance of the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom), dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) and the great wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Frodo and stalwart companion Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) must survive the schizoid deceptions of Gollum, who remains utterly convincing as a hybrid of performance (by Andy Serkis) and subtly nuanced computer animation.
Jackson and cowriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens have much ground to cover; that they do so with intense pacing and epic sweep is impressive enough, but by investing greater depth and consequence in the actions of fellow Hobbits Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd), they ensure that Return of the King maintains the trilogy's emphasis on intimate fellowship. While several major characters appear only briefly, and one (Christopher Lee's evil wizard, Saruman) relegated entirely to the extended version on DVD, Jackson is to be commended for his editorial acumen; like Legolas the archer, his aim as a filmmaker is consistently true, and he remains faithful to Tolkien's overall vision. If Return suffers from too many endings, as some critic suggested, it's only because the epic's conclusion is so loyally inclusive of the actors--most notably Astin--who gave it such strength to begin with. By ending the LOTR trilogy with noble integrity and faith in the power of imaginative storytelling, The Return of the King, like its predecessors, will stand as an adventure for the ages. --Jeff Shannon

A funny thing happened on the way to lower oil and gasoline prices: They went up.
Two weeks after the U.S. and other oil-importing nations took action that knocked down the price of oil to almost $90 a barrel, it's back around $100. And gas pump prices, which had dropped since May, are up about a nickel since Friday.
Oil is rising again as investors bet that the economies of many countries, including the U.S., will improve in the second half of the year, and global demand for petroleum will rise.
Benchmark oil for August delivery rose $1.88 to $98.53 a barrel in afternoon trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude gained $4.07 to $117.69 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
Higher oil prices mean higher gas prices. The national average pump price rose 1.4 cents today to $3.583 a gallon, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. That's up 4.2 cents from a week ago but still 86 cents more than a year ago.
Just chant four more years . . ..
The article states that gas prices are up about a nicklel since Friday.
Someone should tell that to the operator of the Shell station at Western Reserve and South Avenue. Their price was $3.49 for about a week and jumped ten cents today.
Over the past month, as prices were falling, I noticed that prices at numerous stations in the Salem area were consistently nineten cents per gallon cheaper than the prices at the stations close to where I live in the Boardman / Poland area.
The big difference in prices for areas that are not far apart doesn't make sense.

I lately upgraded my MS Office from 03 to office 07, Using windows Vista.
I am using an access based program for my business and it was very smooth and fast, but since the upgrade everything got screwed up , the program can take a full minute to load , it got extremely slow.
All office programs are working fine and fast no issues but only this access program somehow clashes with this combination from 07 and vista, I tried to call the company but they are blaming the compute, But again it was working fine and just the office upgrade killed it.
Any advice idea what this could be??
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Wholesale Jewellery:
If you're looking for a Jewellery Wholesaler, then you are in the right place.
If you want to shop for Jewellery now, visit Vicki Jane Jewellery Ltd for Wholesale Jewellery products.
Different types of wholesale jewellery:
Wholesale Necklaces
Necklaces come in all different shapes and sizes, but can only be worn around the neck. The necklace has been around since the stone age, which was around 40,000 years ago, and is still one of the most popular jewellery items today. Necklaces can cost from a few pence, to many thousands of pounds; the most expensive necklace ever sold was called 'L'Incomparable Diamond Necklace' and sold for £55 million. It weighed 637 carats and was discovered by an African girl who had lived in poverty all her life. The longest beaded necklace measured 9,520.29 metres long in length and was made in Birmingham.
Wholesale Bracelets
Bracelets are worn around wrist, or ankle (anklets) and can be made of materials such as gold, silver, bronze, or sometimes even fabric. There are many different variations of a bracelet, such as bangles, charm bracelets, gemstone bracelets or cuff bracelets. There has been an increase in bracelet popularity over the recent years, due to brands such as Pandora or Troll, along with the phenomenon of loom bands, where one individual set a world record by creating the longest loom band chain, measuring 753.39 metres in length. This record was set by a 7 year old boy.
Wholesale Earrings
Ear piercings are one of the most popular piercings, commonly worn by females but can be worn by males also. Stud earrings are the favourite earrings of many, but you can find hoop earrings, drop earrings, and many others. As well as that, you can also buy magnetic or clip-on earrings if you didn't want to pierce your ear. Earrings are commonly made out of metal, such as gold, gold plated and sterling silver, which is probably the cheapest, other than plastic. Earrings range in price from a few pounds to thousands.
Wholesale Rings
Rings come in a huge variety of sizes, from 4.5 to 13. Engagement rings are usually placed on your left ring finger, but some cultures believe it is better to wear it on your right hand. The most expensive ring, that was owned by Elizabeth Taylor, was worth 8.8 million, and got auctioned off after her death. It weighed an amazing 33.19 carats. The Romans believed that your left ring finger is directly connected to the heart, and that is why most people use rings in marriage.
Wholesale Pendant Necklaces
Pendant necklaces are a specific type of necklace. One of the most priceless pendant necklaces is the heart of ocean necklace. A replica of this specific necklace appeared in the well-known film Titanic. The replica of the necklace only costed £7,000, but the real necklace costed £14,000,000. The diamond inside the original necklace was blue, and weighed 15 carats. The original was also made by Harry Winston, but worn to the 1998 academy awards by Gloria Stuart, a actress in the Titanic.

We stayed three nights at an average w/taxes of about $97.00. We had a king bed, and a coffee pot, phone, alarm clock etc. But in addition the room had a 32" flat screen TV, free high speed internet, microwave, and mini fridge. The front desk was always staffed and for the most part attentative. The shuttle can take you to the airport that has a light rail train that will take you into the inner harbor. There is a review online about a person's car being broken into, we did not have any problems with security and I didn't feel our vehicle was at risk of being broken into. The location of the hotel is good if you like to be close to where your going but not right next door. With steady traffic the inner harbor is about 15 minutes away. If you are flying using BWI, you are 2 miles away from the air port, and right next to I-295, but we heard no planes or noise from interestate traffic. The hotel also has a hot tub and a pool that were great for relaxing before bed, they even had a life guard on duty, which is uncommon in hotels. I've stayed in many hotels and eaten many continental breakfasts and this one ranks at the Top! Belgium Waffles, eggs, sausage, muffins, bagles, toast, cereal, yogurts, and I'm sure I've missed some. So please seriously consider this hotel when looking for accomodations in or around Baltimore.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Wingate by Wyndham BWI Airport is located just 3 miles from BWI Airport and central to Baltimore, Fort Meade, Columbia, Ellicott City, Annapolis and Washington, DC.

AP | Colleen Kollar-Kotelly provided the legal foundation for the NSA amassing a database of all Americans' phone records, say current and former officials who have read it. In the recent stream of disclosures about National Security Agency surveillance programs, one document, sources say, has been conspicuously absent: the original — and still classified — judicial interpretation that held that the bulk collection of Americans' data was lawful.

Reuters | A Buffalo man who was shot nearly a decade ago can sue the manufacturer, the distributor and the dealer of the semi-automatic pistol used to shoot him, a New York state appeals court ruled on Friday. Attorneys for Daniel Williams, who was shot in 2003 when he was in high school, argued that Ohio-based manufacturer Beemiller and the distributor, MKS Supply, violated federal law by knowingly supplying guns to irresponsible dealers.

That's the case for Occupy protesters who were arrested during a march on the Brooklyn Bridge this past fall. The judge ruled that "If you post a tweet, just like if you scream it out the window, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. There is no propriety interest in your tweets which you have now gifted to the world."

In other words, judges' secret biases can be the basis for denying people their day in court, without even having to examine the facts. Judges are also becoming directly involved in politics with the other branches of government.

"The Outsiders" have had a bit of a rough ride over the last year. After 49 issues, series writer Judd Winick left the book, and big changes were announced for the series. Batman would join the cast, five one-shots would shuffle the membership, and Tony Bedard would close out the series with #50 and write the brand-new "Batman and the Outsiders".
No sooner had Bedard assembled his new team of characters, though, than DC Comics announced that Bedard was off the book, and "Batman and the Outsiders" would now be written by Chuck Dixon -- and the first thing Dixon did was bring in his own cast of characters and shuffle the majority of Bedard's out of the series. There's nothing quite like having an entire storyline undone the second it ends, really. But now that Dixon's written "Batman and the Outsiders" for six months, it seems like a safe enough time to really take a look at the book.
In many ways, it's not that dissimilar to Winick's four-year run on "The Outsiders", with the team operating outside the law and trying to stop things before they happen instead of waiting until afterwards. They're close enough in concept that it makes you wonder why there was really a need to re-brand the series (aside from the potential sales benefits of a new #1 and having Batman's name in the title). From what I'd read of Winick's "The Outsiders" title, though, it was certainly punchier and faster-moving than Dixon's "Batman and the Outsiders". We're six issues into the book and not only is the first story-arc still in progress, but it's showing no real signs of a conclusion. It comes across as a little plodding and slow, and all the characters seem to speak with the same voice -- everyone from Geo-Force and Green Arrow to Grace and Katana has identical sarcastic quips and wry comments tossed back and forth. In many ways it's less a group of characters and more a group of powers thrown into the mix.
Carlos Rodniguez's pencils are good if not spectacular; he's at his best drawing Metamorpho, with his body patterning and odd, not-quite-human appearance. In some ways one can't help but wish that all the characters in the book were not human, because if so the script would play to his strength a bit more. Unfortunately, the rest of the characters don't fare quite as well. He's certainly quite good with faces, but the actual body types seem to either end up as slim, or large and muscular. The characters are supposed to be super-heroes, but seeing people whose powers have nothing to do with physical strength (like Geo-Force) sporting six-pack abs gets a little old and actually a bit distracting.
For people who are fans of the current cast of "Batman and the Outsiders", I can imagine this must be a thrilling series to have all of their favorites gathered into one place. For readers who aren't particularly invested in them, though, it's more than a bit dull -- not the best way to draw in new readers, unfortunately. In the end, it's just not as exciting as it should be.
