Although the idea of an enormous asteroid smashing into our planet and ruining our day in a big way still seems fantastical to many, events like the one over central Russia earlier this year mean more and more earthlings are waking up to the idea that, actually, such a cataclysmic event is well within the realms of possibility.
In fact, so concerned is NASA about the threat of destructive Earth-bound rocks that this week in Washington it announced a worldwide "Grand Challenge" aimed at finding all asteroid threats to our planet. The initiative, which everyone is invited to get involved with, also hopes to come up with new ideas about how to deal with these problematic space rocks hurtling in our direction.
For some of you, discovering that NASA is asking us to help may well cause a little discomfort, conjuring up memories of the is-there-anyone-on-board-who-knows-how-to-fly-a-plane moment in the classic comedy movie Airplane. After all, aren't the folks at the multi-billion-dollar-funded space agency on top of the situation when it comes to the subject of planet-destroying asteroids?
All hands on deck
Well, OK, it's not just us "citizen scientists" that it's turning to for help. According to NASA, partnerships with other government agencies, international partners, industry, and academia are also part of its Grand Challenge.
"NASA already is working to find asteroids that might be a threat to our planet, and while we have found 95 percent of the large asteroids near the Earth's orbit, we need to find all those that might be a threat to Earth," NASA deputy administrator Lori Garver said. "This Grand Challenge is focused on detecting and characterizing asteroids and learning how to deal with potential threats. We will also harness public engagement, open innovation and citizen science to help solve this global problem."
Tom Kalil of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy said he was delighted NASA had issued its challenge "because finding asteroid threats, and having a plan for dealing with them, needs to be an all-hands-on-deck effort."
Potentially hazardous asteroids
Last year NASA said it believes there are around 4,700 potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) flying around 'near' Earth, each one large enough to cause some serious harm were it to score a direct hit with the our planet. PHAs are defined by NASA as any asteroid currently within five million miles of Earth with a diameter greater than 330 feet (100 meters).
The space agency has more information about its Grand Challenge on its website, so if you have any good ideas about to stop these incoming rocks – a swarm of tiny spacecraft and a lasso are two solutions already being looked at – then don't hesitate to get in touch. You may just save the planet.

How to coordinate makeup with outfit Vol 3: Makeup for Yellow outfits
Posted by Corallista | Posted in How to -, Looks, Tips | Posted on 26-07-2011
Tags: colorblocking makeup, copper peach makeup, gold bronze makeup, green blue makeup, how to coordinate makeup with outfit, how to pair makeup, makeup for yellow, makeup for yellow outfit, neon pink lipstick, orange lips, warm makeup, yellow dress makeup, yellow outfit makeup, yellow top makeup
Hi everyone!
I'd started this series of posts on How to coordinate makeup with outfits some time back and it got forgotten and buried among other posts. Reviving this series today by a guideline on What to wear with Yellow colored outfits.
Previously in this series-
How to coordinate makeup with outfits Vol 1 : Makeup looks to suit every outfit
How to coordinate makeup with outfits Vol 2 : Makeup looks for blue outfits
I wrote a small write-up on color theory in the post on Makeup to pair with Blue outfits and I'm summarizing it here in reference to Yellows-
-> There are 3 primary pigments- Red, Yellow and Blue.
-> Mixing any 2 of these further gives 3 more shades called secondary colors
Red+ Yellow = Orange
Yellow + Blue = Green
Red + Blue = Purple
-> These 3 primaries and 3 secondaries are represented pictorially in form of a color wheel -

How to easily share pictures with your family, from your iPhone to your TV, using iCloud and Photo Stream
If you've been out for the evening, shooting photos of the kid's big game, or away at Disney for a week, snapping pics at every ride, wouldn't it be great if you could get home, collapse on the couch, and enjoy the memories almost instantly on your big screen TV? Well, with iCloud's Photo Stream feature and an Apple TV, you can!
Here's how...
What's Photo Stream?
Photo Stream keeps track of all the photos (not videos though) you take on your iPhone, or other iOS devices. Then, whenever you're on Wi-Fi, Photo Stream uploads a copy to iCloud, Apple's cloud storage network, and then pushed a copy of the photo back down to all your iOS devices -- including an Apple TV hooked up to your big screen HDTV!
Photo Stream will store store up to 1000 photos, or 30 days of photos. On your Mac and/or Windows PC, iCloud will store all your photos.
How to take great photos with your iPhone
If you've never taken photos before with your iPhone, it's easy to get started. Here's a a quick video and complete step-by-step tutorial to get your going.
Once you've mastered the basics, we have more tutorials to help you with everything from portraits to kids to pets to macros to basic photography skills like composition. Check them out.
How to enable Photo Stream on your iPhone
Once you know how to shoot, you need to make sure all the great photos you take get stored up on iCloud and in Photo Stream.
- Launch the Settings app.
- Tap on iCloud.
- Tap on Photo Stream.
- Toggle Photo Stream to On.
Photos are only transferred from your iPhone to iCloud when you're on Wi-Fi. If you're out traveling, hotels, coffee shop, and other convenient locations might have Wi-Fi hotspots available so you can even share pictures before you get back home.
How to enable Photo Stream on your Apple TV
Now that your iPhone is shooting and storing everything you shoot, you need to enable Photo Stream on your Apple TV.
- Launch Photo Stream (the icon is towards the bottom).
- Confirm your Apple ID or sign in with a different one.
- Choose whether or not you'd like to use Photo Stream as your screen saver.
iCloud will start to populate your Photo Stream on your Apple TV. Depending on the size of your Photo Stream and the speed of your internet connection, it might take a few minutes.
How to get more help with iCloud
That's it! Now every photo you take and memory you make will be automagically transferred to your iCloud and Photo Stream, and readily available on your Apple TV.
Note: Since with great power comes great responsibility, make sure you either turn Photo Stream off, or delete any photos from the Photo Stream folder, that you don't want shared with the whole family.
If you still need help with setting up or using Photo Stream on your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or Windows or Mac PC, or any other iCloud feature, head on over to our iCloud Forum and ask away!

Parking not available for that time. Please select a different time or try a different location.
1370 people recommend parking here 831 left comments
Was a great way to park for a reasonable rate. Still seemed way farther away than 1/2 mile as stated.
Close to Cowboy Stadium (ATT). About 1/2 mile walk. Getting in was easy and at way less cost than at the stadium.
Good secure lot.
The directions given were good. Quick in and out was a big bonus
good location and price - attendent alerted my daughters not to bring their purses - saved me teh walk back to the car
It was only about a 10-15 minute walk. I did give it a 4 star rating because leaving the lot is a pain. There is only one entrance/ exit, so once the game is over, everybody lines up and there is no one directing traffic on to the one way road.
Only 0.5 miles from the Cowboy Stadium and 1/2 block from the Ranger Stadium, this large lot with several shady areas offers a full view of both stadiums. Covered pavilion are available for rent ($50) or free of charge if not already booked on first come first served basis. Off duty police patrols will be provided through-out the event. Portable toilet available for large venues. For more information, visit our web site at www.stadiumparking.net
Managed by Stadium Parking LLC. This location is a commercial parking lot.
Preferred parking for Rangers Ballpark, Diamond Club At the Ballpark, Texas Rangers A Lot, The Ballpark In Arlington, Texas Rangers L Lot.
Located one block south of Randol Mill Rd on the corner of Stadium Oaks Ct and Stadium Dr,at Center Field of the Rangers Ballpark. Please note that our lot is NOT at the Cowboys Stadium. It surrounds several office buildings. Look for the big blue GALACTIC sign on the east side of Stadium Drive.
From I-30 west bound (coming from Dallas) exit south on Ballpark Way, it becomes Stadium Dr at the Randol Mill intersection. The Ranger's Ballpark will be on your right. Continue past Randoll Mill Rd to the first office complex on the left.
From I-30 east bound (coming from Ft. Worth), exit #28 Baird Farm, Legends, Ballpark Way. Stay on the access road, go through 2 lights and continue to Convention Center Dr. Turn right and it will take you to Ballpark Way southbound, turn right on Ballpark Way which becomes Stadium Drive. At Randol Mill Rd, continue 1/2 block to the first office complex on the left.
From Division St (best Route from I- 20 and Hwy 360), go north on Stadium Dr, this turn is between a Valero Gas Station and a bright yellow car repair place. Go through the light at Cowboys Way, turn right at the fourth office complex. The Stadium Parking Logo with Lot 1 will be seen on a bright blue sign
NOTE: On busy days, we may have the entrance to the lot completely blocked by cones. Your space is still waiting for you, we're just keeping everyone else out! Pull up to the entrance and show that you have a ParkWhiz reservation, and someone will promptly let you in.

I cannot instantiante activex component from vb.net (Cannot create ActiveX component) but in vbs yes
Hi everyone.
I really stuck and I don't know how to fix it.
You see, I create from server (windows Server 2003, service pack 2 ) a com+ application. I am in the domain from the active directory. I connected to the server with another accout, also from the same domain.
once that I created the com+ application proxy, I copied the MSI and cab files to my computer (Windows xp sp 3) and I installed the COM+.
I create a test.vbs, with:
Dim a
Set a = CreateObject("ComProxy.ClasePrueba")
Msgbox "OK"
Here, the vbs works fine, ok.
But, when I try to do the same in vb.net in visual studio 2003, I got the well know 429 error "Cannot create ActiveX component"
I tried a thousand times with little variances int he process, with the same result. This drive me crazy.
Another guy, (also Windows xp sp 3) in his machine can instances the com+ app.
Both accounts haven't permissions to connect to the server (that's why we connect with a generic account)
I watch the dcomcnfg and both have the same configuration, same limits (allow local and remote access to Everyon) , both activate to the same ip address.
Any idea? someone else has had this error?
I tried to clean up the stack of the wrapper, but I don't know how.
I add the the "Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices" in namespace
I put the next line before call the CreateObject statement
but is wrong, Does anybody knows how can I clean the heap of the wrapp class?
Thanks in advance!
Any suggestion will be appreciated

Order today for Monday delivery
A simply designed grown up bed in a child's world that comes with the security of bed guards and depending on which mattress you purchase, is approximately 12 inches off the ground.
Our very own Kiddicare brand is all about nursery essentials at amazingly low prices. Thoughtfully designed with reassuringly high quality, our award-winning range includes all the essentials from car seats to pushchairs to nursery furniture packages. And it's loved by parents and parenting press alike!
Brought this for my 20 month old daughter, she absolutely loves it. Nice and low so I know she is safe getting in and out, and not so worried about the possibility of her rolling out as the side guards are great and even if she isn't stopped by them it's really not far to go! Very easy to assemble, extremely sturdy when constructed but lightweight. Would recommend to any parent wanting a safe and easy transition from cot to bed.
My 18mnth twins absolutely love their beds. Perfect to fit two into the 'box' room with still some space to play. They love lying together, reading books together in bed and bouncing up and down. Really easy to put together. Very happy with the beds.
As I read in the other reviews, these beds are so easy to assemble, they look great, and my kids find them comfortable. I was looking for something relatively cheap and at the same time a decent quality for my little ones, and this was the perfect choice.

What the Press say
"The Linthwaite House Hotel was and is a wonderful place to say. But to me it will always mean home and the place where I grew up. My parents moved to Linthwaite when I was just three years old back in 1969 and turned what was then a private house into a hotel. . That was 11 years ago.. I tried to steer clear of making comparisons. But when every way you turned you were immediately transported back 20 years to your childhood, it wasn't easy. ... But what really swung it was the genuine warmth of the welcome - right from owner Mr Bevans through to the waiters and waitresses. ... It was a wonderful place to grow up. And it still is a great place to visit. .... It's just that next time I won't wait 11 years to go back." Back to her roots Emotional, but oh so pleasant by Helen Lee, The Blackpool Gazette, April 2001.

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Brideshead Manor
Brideshead Manor. Imposing English country estate of the Marchmain family where troops are to be quartered in the early days of World War II and the location where this frame novel opens. The bulk of the novel comprises flashback memories of the house and its family of Charles Ryder, an army captain when the novel begins. Earlier, while a student at Oxford University, he befriends Sebastian Flyte, the younger son of Brideshead's Lord Marchmain. From Charles's first visit to Brideshead as a young man he senses the place's importance to the Marchmains as he is drawn into their family circle. In addition to the home's strong family associations, Charles comes to realize that it and its art nouveau chapel are emblematic of the strong Roman Catholic faith that guides the family even when their behavior is anything but exemplary.
*Oxford University
*Oxford University. Historic English university that is novel's second great anchor. There Charles meets Sebastian and most of the friends he retains through the rest of his life. The heady charm of Oxford's dreaming spires and intense friendships of youth influence Charles more than the university's intellectual opportunities. The unimaginably wealthy and charming Sebastian introduces Charles to a new world of art and pleasure. Although Charles leaves Oxford without taking a degree and becomes a successful artist, Oxford continues to inspire him...

Historical Context
The Pre-War Years and World War II
The book's events take place between 1922 and World War II. Charles Ryder's generation at Oxford was one that found itself too young to fight in the first war, but well into its thirties by the time the Second World War erupted. Throughout the body of Brideshead Revisited, Waugh indicates that something is brewing outside the walls of the stately mansions and colleges where most of the novel's actions take place. Europe, between World War I and World War II, was a place of both great prosperity and dismal poverty, of social innovations and political disarray.
As an adult, Cordelia serves as a nurse during the Spanish Civil War, which lasted from 1936 to 1939. This war was fought between the Nationalists, who were fascists supported by the Italian and German governments, and the Loyalists, who were supported by many thousands of volunteers from other nations. When it was all over, hundreds of thousands were dead, and a fascist regime held power in Spain. The Nazis in Germany took note that other European governments were reluctant to step into the fray; this isolationism indicated that Europe might not interfere in the Nazis' own plans for world domination.
Germany suffered great losses during the First World War and was in political and economic disarray after the war. By the early 1930s, Germany's military and economic might began to recover under Adolf Hitler. By the middle of the 1930s,...

Literary Style
Point of View
Brideshead Revisited is written completely from the first person point of view; that is, solely through the eyes of Charles Ryder. Charles is the only one telling the story, so the reader must decide whether he is a reliable or an unreliable narrator. Are his impressions of the events and characters in the story to be believed?
In general, Charles is a trustworthy narrator. He does not obviously exaggerate or provide unbelievable information. But, when only one person is telling a story, that person's background and experiences color the telling of the tale. In Charles' case, his childhood was a serious one, with very little happiness. His mother died when he was young and his father pays little attention to him. The absence of his own family may have made it easy for him to become intimately involved with the Flyte family, and, because of this closeness, he may be blind to some of their faults. A number of times other characters refer to the less-than-wonderful characteristics of the Flytes, including Sebastian, and this either confuses or upsets Charles.
Charles tells the story of his relationship with the Flytes and Sebastian with the benefit of hindsight. He has had time during the intervening fifteen to twenty years to reconsider events. The story is framed by the present, with a Prologue and an Epilogue, but takes place primarily in the past.
Waugh is well-known for his...

Literary Techniques
Brideshead Revisited makes excellent use of the techniques of close observation and parodic brilliance so prominent in Decline and Fall, but it also introduces a stylistic tint new to Waugh's literary palette. The lush, elegiac passages in which Charles Ryder remembers his days at Oxford and his love affair with Julia Flyte are constantly in danger of descending into sentimental romance, and the reader comes to eagerly anticipate Waugh's periodic returns to his earlier crispness of expression. These romantic sections also display an excessive reliance upon metaphor, and often very stale metaphor at that, which is again uncharacteristic of the author's previous work.
Since sentimentality and metaphorical extravagance are also absent from Waugh's post-Brideshead Revisited writing, one may speculate that he chose to experiment with them in the attempt to develop more serious themes and a deeper level of emotional involvement between the two main characters. Waugh believed that Brideshead Revisited was a major departure from the kind of thing he had done so well in the past, and he may have felt that a more conventionally portentous style would convey this to his readers; and even after many of his friends had commented adversely upon this surprising romanticism, he defended it as a necessary component of his intentions. His abandonment of this style in his subsequent books, however, suggests that he too recognized its...

Social Concerns
Brideshead Revisited is in some respects a continuation of the cynical view of English society so effectively expressed throughout Decline and Fall. Brideshead itself is the beautiful estate of an ancient and noble family, and its glory in the early 1920s is powerfully contrasted with the downfall of both the family and their home over the next two decades. But in the seventeen years between the two books, Waugh had come to feel quite differently about the misfortunes of the aristocracy: where Decline and Fall treats them as an occasion for satirical comedy, Brideshead Revisited views them as a tragedy which brings to a close a glorious era of English history.
On the reverse side of this romanticization of the upper classes, Waugh offers some very strong indictments of both the nouveau riche and the emerging middle class. Two characters epitomize Waugh's elitist social stance: Rex Mottram, a colonial wheeler-dealer whose energetic vulgarity has catapulted him into the political establishment, and a young officer identified only as "Mr. Hooper," who represents the ignorance and ineptitude of a bourgeoisie attempting to take on responsibilities for which it is completely unfit. Although some of his criticisms are expressed in humorous terms, Waugh is more often mercilessly abusive towards these examples of the sweeping changes affecting English society. There is, however, one force which holds out the hope of resisting...

Compare and Contrast
- 1920s and 1930s: The African-American singer and dancer Josephine Baker creates a sensation in Paris with her risqué nightclub show in which she wears an outfit made primarily of feathers. When Anthony and Charles go to a jazz club in London, Charles alludes to having gone to such clubs in Paris, where this kind of entertainment is more accepted than it is in London.
Today: African American Queen Latifah is one of the most prominent performers in the world. She has starred in a television series, hosted her own talk show, been featured in television commercials, and produced top-selling albums.
- 1920s and 1930s: Art Deco is the primary artistic style. The name is derived from a 1925 exhibition of decorative and industrial arts in Paris. Art Deco style incorporates straight lines and symmetry using manufactured rather than naturally occurring materials. Charles's art is not influenced by this modern style; he prefers more traditional subjects and styles.
Today: Art Deco is considered a "retro" style but is still widely appreciated and collected. Web sites devoted to preserving and studying Art Deco buildings and decorative objects number in the hundreds and are based around the world, from New Zealand to Washington, D.C., to Miami.

- How does Charles's college life compare to your school experiences? Write an essay in which you consider the similarities and differences.
- Think about how Sebastian's drinking is described and dealt with in the novel. Are attitudes about drinking different today? How do the Flytes handle Sebastian's drinking problem, and how does this compare to the way similar problems are handled today?
- If possible, find someone who lived through the Great Depression in the United States or elsewhere. Interview the person to learn what life was like then, and how it was different from life today. If you are unable to interview someone, read first-hand accounts of depression-era people and write an essay describing their way of life during that period.
- When Sebastian wants to escape his family, he travels to the Middle East and North Africa. When Charles Ryder leaves his wife to paint and draw for two years, he goes to Mexico and Central America.

Literary Precedents
The scope of Brideshead Revisited's portrait of a family in decline and an individual in search of spiritual conviction reflects Waugh's lifelong interest in Thackeray, whose novel The History of Henry Esmond (1852) offers a comparable breadth of incident and character. Although Thackeray's perceived snobbery, like Waugh's, has led many critics to condemn him as hopelessly elitist, it is probably fairer to say that both writers are conscious of the faults of the upper classes at the same time as they are irresistibly drawn to them as subjects. In more general terms, Brideshead Revisited's concentration upon Catholic issues owes some debt to the novels of Graham Greene, whose Brighton Rock (1938) and The Power and the Glory (1940) had established that such matters could constitute the stuff of serious literature.

Brideshead Revisited was made into an eleven-part television series by the U.K.'s Granada Television in 1982. The adaptation was done by John Mortimer and featured Jeremy Irons as Charles Ryder, Diana Quick as Julia Flyte, and Anthony Andrews as her brother Sebastian. A strong supporting cast included Claire Bloom, John Gielgud, and Laurence Olivier. First shown in the United States in January of 1982, the series was a great success with viewers and critics alike, and was given a repeat showing later that same year.

What Do I Read Next?
- Brideshead Benighted is a collection of politically incorrect satire authored by Evelyn Waugh's son, Auberon. The 1986 book was originally published in England with the title, Another Voice: An Alternative Anatomy of Britain.
- In Evelyn Waugh's A Handful of Dust, Tony Last's wife grows bored with their country aristocrat lifestyle and takes a lover and a flat in London. Waugh wrote this satiric depiction of life among the English upper crust in 1934.
- Anthony Blanche recites from memory part of T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" (1922). This is the quintessential poem capturing post-World War I despair.
- Graham Greene's 1951 novel The End of the Affair uses flashback and memories to return to the events that take place between a married woman and her lover during the German bombardments of World War II London. Greene and Evelyn Waugh are of the same English generation, and Greene is also sometimes considered a "Catholic novelist."

Inside the Las Vegas office of one of the most powerful men in mixed martial arts sits a large map of North America, on which New York State and Saskatchewan have long conspicuously stood out.
Most of the map is coloured green, indicating states where MMA is legal and sanctioned. But amid all that shading sit a few off-colour patches - states and provinces in which MMA is not sanctioned. In the southern portion of the map, New York is coloured a bright red, the Holy Grail of states that remains a holdout. In the upper half of the map, Saskatchewan has long been the lone mainland province where mixed martial arts has been unregulated.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) vice-president of regulatory affairs Marc Ratner will now need to send away to have an updated map made for his office.
"We'll be very happy to paint (Saskatchewan) green," said Ratner in an interview.
The Saskatchewan government on Wednesday announced plans to establish a provincial athletic commission that will sanction professional combat sports, including boxing and mixed martial arts (the latter of which includes the billiondollar powerhouse UFC). The province plans on introducing legislation this fall and hopes to have the commission in place by next summer, at which time pro events could take place.
UFC director of Canadian operations Tom Wright said he was "thrilled" with the decision by the Saskatchewan government.
"Always one of our long-term objectives is to have our sport sanctioned and regulated in all 10 provinces and territories. This is one of the big holdouts," said Wright.
"From my perspective, we've always wanted to bring a UFC event to Saskatchewan and this opens the door ... We've been to five provinces in five different cities. This will make it six."
The UFC has held pay-per-views in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg, though a UFC event in Saskatchewan - either at Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon or Evraz Place in Regina - would almost assuredly be broadcast not on pay-per-view but free cable television.
"I suspect it'll be Saskatoon because there's a bigger venue there," said Wright. "We'd have to have a really strong sense that all the legislative requirements are going to be met and then we would start to plan. It would be towards the back half of 2014 or 2015."
Under provincial legislation, the commission will be responsible for licensing promoters, competitors and officials; ensuring appropriate pre-fight medical testing - such as concussion screens, blood tests and eye exams - takes place; that qualified medical staff and event officials are hired; and that promoters have appropriate liability insurance. The province is also entering into an agreement with the Saskatchewan Martial Arts Association (SMAA), which will sanction and oversee amateur combat sports. To qualify for sanctioning, events must be hosted by a member of the SMAA, competitors cannot be paid and they must be 18 years of age or older.
The government felt that its involvement - rather than municipal commissions - would ensure consistent rules, regulations and safety protocols.
"One thing that the athletic commission will do is ensure that we don't have, for lack of better term, these fly-by-night promoters come in and say they want to put on an event in the city of Saskatoon or some smaller community and not have the appropriate insurance and liability at risk," said Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty.
"It puts that community at risk, it puts that venue at risk, it puts the promoter at risk and it certainly puts the province at risk."
Following years of lobbying efforts led by UFC, Section 83 (2) of the Criminal Code of Canada was expanded to define prizefighting as not just boxing, but also mixed martial arts, which combines jiujitsu, wrestling, boxing, Muay Thai, judo and other forms of combat. Bill S-209 passed in the House of Commons in June with 267 members of Parliament in favour and only nine opposed, resulting in MMA becoming legal nationwide. At that point, the Saskatchewan government felt confident enough to move ahead.
UFC has spent millions of dollars in its efforts to get the sport sanctioned across the country and the world. According to Ratner, the challenges are similar no matter what territory the company is attempting to break into, from Saskatchewan to Australia to France.
"It's about education. It's still about some of the myths that are out there. When I say that, people hearken back to the late-'90s or mid-'90s. There was a time when (U.S.) Senator (John) McCain said it's human cockfighting. I have to confront that sometimes. That was a different sport back then. This even includes me personally, because I was against it when they said 'No rules. No holds barred. Anything goes.' You can't have a sport with no rules," said Ratner.
Regardless, the Canadian Medical Association has voted to seek a ban on MMA prize fighting, saying participants are at high risk for broken limbs, lacerations and brain damage.
When UFC - and, indirectly, mixed martial arts - was created in 1993, it was promoted as more spectacle than sport, with no weight classes and few rules.
In 2000, the New Jersey Athletic Commission helped create the Unified Rules of MMA, which led to sanctioning in Nevada and then dozens of states and provinces to follow.
"It's about education and it's about really just talking about it, the health and safety, the different medical studies, going through the history of the sport," said Ratner. "I just consider it part of what we have to do. It just comes with the territory."
UFC officials say a typical UFC event can pump anywhere from $5 million to $20 million into the host city's economy.
Will Lofdahl, CEO of Credit Union Centre, said the facility is always trying to bring popular events to the community, and a UFC card is "something that people in the region would want to see."
Lofdahl said there has been interest in hosting UFC in the building but until MMA was sanctioned in the province, talks could never progress further.
"Certainly giving people the opportunity to go out and see these events is something we want to do. When we will actually be able to present the event is still the decision," he said.
"The only thing that will compete against MM A is the Roughriders in terms of the draw."
- Tourism Saskatoon's Director of Industry Development and Sport Randy Fernets
"First and foremost, it's a great sports province. Saskatchewanians support us all the time. When we've had events in Calgary and we've held events in Winnipeg, we've had tons of fans come from Saskatchewan." - Tom Wright, UFC director of Canadian operations

Princess Yachts Cuts Jobs
Filed under: Yachts & Sailing
Yacht makers continue to feel the economic pinch. Today it was announced that luxury yacht firm, Princess Yachts will be cutting up to 450 jobs. The cuts represent almost a fifth of the workforce. The reason for the job loss is the economic climate and the company has said it is working with union and staff representatives to minimize the damage through reduced working hours and other adjustments. The company, which is based in Plymouth, England, was acquired last summer by an investment arm of LVMH, the luxury goods conglomerate. It was bought for an estimated sum of £200 million. A quote from an article by Robert Frank on LVMH's purchase of Royal van Lent shipyard last fall seems particularly prescient. Frank quoted Steve Schwarzman of the private-equity firm, Blackstone Group on the yacht business. Schwarzman said: "The trouble with yachts, is that when business is good, it's really good. But when it falls, it really crashes."

Students who complete the degree in psychology may choose to work in various fields such as assessment, advising, research, and crisis prevention and intervention. Additionally, students may choose to attend graduate school in order to work in fields such as clinical psychology, educational psychology, social work, marriage and family counseling, rehabilitation counseling, and school counseling. The broad application of psychology in other disciplines makes the courses suitable for students from other majors. The guidelines provided by the American Psychological Association (2007) for undergraduate psychology majors were used to develop the program and student learning outcomes.

Kindergarten student Josh Sondgeroth and the rest of his classmates at Jefferson School in Princeton enjoy Friday's warm weather and new playground equipment. The playground equipment was provided by PES Plays, a group of parents and teachers. The equipment was installed last week, and Wednesday was the first day the children could play on it. Teacher Connie King said it was so popular the teachers had to limit children's play time to five minutes so everyone had a chance.

I'd say the fact that we did it with CJ being ineffective once again. You always expect the Ravens to be tough against the run, but I thought CJ would get at least 75-80 yards if he had 20+ carries. The fact that it didn't matter is amazing. Is there any doubt that Kenny Britt is the team's best player right now? Kid is a stud.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
A A+F Campus Housing: I have nothing but positive things to say about Bryant's housing system, the lottery is easy to manage, and all dorms are very spacious. Dorms are very close to classes and have very lax security because Bryant is a closed campus. Any student can visit another's room until 11pm when their card can only access their own hall.
A A+F Academics: I am a double major in Environmental Science and Politics, I have worked several internships set up by faculty, including ones for NASA, the Audubon Society, and NOAA. Classes are relatively easy, but mandatory the lab experience make up for that and does a great job of preparing majors for a career in any field.
A A+F Academics: Bryant has so many opportunities for both Liberal Arts and Business Majors. Many of these are not taken advantage of, so any ambitious student will have more than enough opportunity to take on as much as they can handle. Students will be able to build a powerful resume while learning real world skills in the classroom, and gaining on job experience through the Amica Career Center's internships.
B A+F Weather: All that you can expect from a Rhode Island school, the winters are harsh, but spring and fall are breathtaking to witness.
B A+F Diversity: Like most American Universities, Bryant is mostly comprised of white americans. However, there is a large population of international ethnic students, which seems to be growing every year. If you are an international student, Bryant is a very welcoming university where you will have no problem finding someone to relate to!
A A+F Parking: No need tons of on campus
A A+F Campus Dining: The on campus dining options are amazing. The staff is great to all of our needs and the variety is top notch. The manager, Shawn, takes time to work with you for better dining options. As the options increase, we even have a restaurant on campus! 5 stars if I do say so myself. Overall, great experience.
C A+F Guys & Girls: Girls and Guys are ok. No one is strikingly beautiful or talented at first glance. Generally short and into business.
C A+F Weather: If you are used to the four seasons, nothings changed. Campus is small so everything is accessible whether it rains or shines.
D A+F Academics: Personally, most of my teachers have been lazy. Haven't gotten much back or even learned a ton yet. Its all business here and everything else seems to be forgotten.
D A+F Academics: Professors are mostly lazy, workload is not that bad, its all business.
D A+F Off-Campus Dining: You need a car to go anywhere and even still there are not many options.
C A+F Computers: A lot of people enjoy the laptop they provide, I myself am more of a mac than a windows person.
F A+F Greek Life: Greek life is almost nonexistent and if you do participate, you are not accepted with the rest of the school.
D A+F Nightlife: Everyone basically goes to the townhouses out behind the campus and parties there. It gets boring real fast.
C A+F Facilities: The facilities aren't bad, they are small and fit the school. But definitely not the most high tech or best around. They get the job done for amount of students and popular majors.
D A+F Overall Experience: I think the culture of the students here is very poor in general. Seems just like high school except with more partying, always at the townhouses. Boring, small, all business. Some people might like that, not me.
B A+F Guys & Girls: I feel that we have an overall good-looking school. A lot of the student population is your typical east-coast, kinda of preppy dressers. It is a fairly wealthy school and most people are very well dressed. Social life basically revolves around either Greek life or athletics in my opinion, so relationships often exist within these two groups.
A A+F Overall Experience: Personally, I wouldn't change a thing about my college experience. There are countless clubs and organizations to join that enriches the college experience. I like that the campus is small and everything is in walking distance. I've never felt like I was in danger and I love how welcoming the town is as a whole. At the same time, it is only 45 minutes away from Boston, putting it in prime location.
C A+F Local Atmosphere: Smithfield, in my opinion, is largely a student friendly town. Many stores and businesses make a lot of money from Bryant students and are therefore very friendly. Attractions and cultural events are lacking off campus. Although Providence is close, I would probably go to Boston for this sort of thing, which is about 45 minutes away- not too bad. Same goes for sports. Safety is excellent!! Shopping is best in Providence and I would say the mall is average.
B A+F Diversity: I feel that Bryant is an exceptionally diverse school and that almost all students are very accepting. I can think of specific examples in regards to religious diversity, sexual orientation, religious diversity, and political beliefs. I think the Bryant community as a whole goes out of its way to accept all students and make them feel welcome. The only negative is that although we have a large presence of international students, some are sometimes perceived as being arrogant and not trying to adapt to life on campus. This perception would be the only reason I hesitate to give 5 stars.
C+ A+F Local Atmosphere: Nothing to do it is pretty boring not too much partying, a let down
B+ A+F Campus Strictness: Not too strict at all. Just the same stuff to do, I read the reviews and thought oh it will be pretty fun and have tons of parties but not even close to what i expected thats why I am lloking to forward to transfering. High school parties were just as good if not better
A+ A+F Campus Dining: There are a few dining options throughout campus, but the best option is Salmo and especially the "fancy" Salmo option available on Thursdays and Fridays.
A- A+F Campus Dining: The food options on campus are somewhat scarce but if you are hungry there is always somewhere you can go. The main dinning hall is spacious and well staffed and there are rarely huge lines however the entrees can be repetitive.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Devon Correll
Bryant has a lot to offer, especially to business students, and gives everyone the opportunity to thrive academically and socially. The University's academic programs help prepare students for the real world, and with all the different courses students are required to take, they learn a lot about numerous subjects and get a well-rounded education. Students also get the chance to interact with professors who have the highest degrees in their fields, as well as real world experience. Although there is a lot of hard work and effort involved, the experience Bryant gives students is well worth it. Plus, with more than 70 clubs and organizations on campus, students can get involved and meet new people. Whether it's a club meeting or a networking event, there is always something going on to keep students active at Bryant. Although many students complain about the "bubble-like" atmosphere created by the isolated campus, Bryant's small size creates a sense of community that few schools can offer. While students can be cliquey at times, nearly everyone is friendly and supportive, and with shopping areas and large cities not far from campus, students can easily escape this "bubble" whenever they like. Bryant University has beautiful landscaping, striking architecture, and gives students access to state-of-the-art facilities. Most students agree that if they had the choice to do it all over again, they would still choose Bryant.

A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links between Leadership and Mental Illness
by Nassir Ghaemi. Penguin Press, 2011
In 1972 Thomas Eagleton was chosen to run as the democratic vice-presidential nominee under George McGovern in the race against Richard Nixon. But it soon emerged that Eagleton suffered from depression and had received shock treatment for it. A scandal erupted, and Eagleton stepped down, forming a cloud that still hovers over politics today.
Psychiatrist Nassir Ghaemi thinks the public is mistaken in wanting leaders who appear sane and mentally healthy. In A First-Rate Madness, he proposes that Eagleton may have actually been the best candidate to deal with a national crisis because of, not in spite of, his depression.
The crux of Ghaemi's argument is that people who are depressed exhibit what psychologists have dubbed "depressive realism"—an all too accurate view of the world. Since the 1970s, when the concept of depressive realism first surfaced, some studies have suggested that people who are mentally healthy actually have overly optimistic ideas about their place in the world.
Being depressed, on the other hand, can give people keener powers of perception and heightened abilities to assess complex or tumultuous situations. In fact, various studies have shown that being bipolar can make people more creative, resilient and in tune with their environment.
Ghaemi details "case studies" wherein he examines respected political figures—such as Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy—who lived with depression or mania, or both, and argues that these qualities enhanced their leadership skills. Conversely, he asserts that leaders considered mentally healthy do well during times of peace and prosperity but falter during crises because they lack the practicality or creative thinking skills that leaders with mental disorders often exhibit. Ghaemi offers an anecdote in support of his point: the sane British prime minister Neville Chamberlain thought Adolf Hitler was someone who could be reasoned with, but Churchill saw from the beginning that the strategy would never work.
On the surface, the theory may seem counterintuitive. But Ghaemi provides exhaustive research and makes a compelling case for his point, which is perhaps best summed up by an aphorism from Martin Luther King, Jr.: "Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted."

Kung Fu Tea, New York
As an Asian, I am always in the search for the best bubble tea. I think it is the combination of sweet creamy liquid and chewy texture that just gets me all the time. Even though there are TONS of bubble tea shops out there, some good, some bad, and some just plain ugly, there are certain stores that you can always rely on to buy this delicious beverage, and my go-to store is Kung Fu Tea!
Kung Fu Tea is great because it doesn't add too much water to the mixture and uses a special milk that makes the drinks very flavorful - not bland at all, like most other bubble teas.
My go-to beverage at my go-to bubble tea store is the Black Milk Tea with Herbal Jelly and 30% sugar (bubble optional, depending on my mood):
I really like this combination because it's light, since there is no bubble, and not too sweet, since there's only 30% sugar (you can customize the sugar content of your drinks). The Herbal Jelly somehow makes me feel less bad about drinking it, because it's herbal and HERBAL GOOD!
One famous beverage from Kung Fu Tea is the Wow Milk, which is basically a very creamy milk, I believe, mixed with condensed milk (someone please confirm or deny this!). A lot of people like Wow Milk, but I prefer the milk tea because it has more taste. A blogger mentioned that Wow Milk tastes better warm, which I have never tried before and would definitely be up for in the future (follow up review coming!). And so to add to that, yes, Kung Fu does serve hot versions of most of its beverages, so definitely experiment!
So there you go. New time you are in New York or Boston, definitely stop by one of Kung Fu Tea's locations and try out this liquid gold!

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Newly-released records show that James Holmes had what one professor described as a brief romantic relationship, but few friends while attending the University of Colorado, Denver.
The emails regarding James Holmes were released Wednesday in response to a public records request.
One stunned professor emailed a friend that Holmes had briefly had a girlfriend. The woman was in India at the time of the attack.
The chair of the neuroscience department wrote that Holmes was not close to his fellow students in the program but that he had one or two friends in other programs.
The vast majority of the emails were redacted for privacy reasons.

Boyd's Restless for TV
William Boyd's spy novel Restless to be hitting TV later this year
Casting has been announced for Endor Production's television adaptation of William Boyd's Restless. Restless will be directed by Edward hall (Spooks MI5), with the script also written by William Boyd.
Stars include Hayley Atwell (Any Human Heart, Captain America), Rufus Sewell (Pillars of Earth), Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey), and veterans Michael Gambon and Charlotte Rampling. The Costa Award-winning novel will be turned into two 90-minute episodes.
Restless follows the story of Sally Gilmartin (Rampling) as her daughter, Ruth Gilmartin (Dockery) discovers, in 1976, that Sally has been living a double life as a spy for the British Secret Service. Sally's real name is Eva Delectorskaya and she has been on the run for 30 years.
As a young woman, Eva's (Atwell) story begins in France in 1939 where she is recruited for the British Secret Service by Lucas Romer (Sewell). Romer trains Eva to become the perfect spy and a love affair between the two blossoms. However, when a crucial mission collapses in America, Eva finds herself in life threatening jeopardy thus forcing her to hide and begin her double life. Thirty years on, Sally yearns to end her years of living a lie.
Boyd, whose writing about spies will include the new James Bond novel, said that, "[a television adaptation of Restless] represents the most enticing and alluring of possiblities." Director Richard Hall added, "Restless [is] an extraordinary expression of what major British drama can achieve through the medium television."
Restless will air on BBC One in late 2012.
