Be advised, this is for 10.4 only.. http://apple.com/macosx
First I'll start off with
The nifty little thing that Apple came up with, allows you to store little mini-applications that can perhaps tell you the weather, a countdown timer or even a mini game, such as Tetris. A screenshot of dashboard, which is mine can be found here. Over 1600 widgets can be found at the Apple Widgets download site which can be found here.
NOTE: Widgets can be found at sites other than the Apple one.
RAM Usage
Just quick note; internet browsers use about 50-60 megs of ram, dashboard takes up about 3-5 megabytes (depending on the number of widgets you have installed on you're computer), and the same thing with the desktop. You can see the how much RAM is being used by consulting the Activity Monitor.
Heh... Apple decided to move to intel last year, and well, they've done it. Currently they have two intel models available for preo-rder. They are the MacBook-Pro and iMac. What's the difference in these intel processors, and why do I have to spend $2000 to buy an intel notebook right now, you ask? This question is answered below.
The cost and other things (namely features and such) [MacBook-Pro]
So. Even though the powerbook G4 15" model cost the same, there are some notable differences in the new "Macbook-Pro". They are:
-Built in iSight camera
-Includes Frontrow, Photobooth, and the apple remote
-4-5x faster than the previous models of the Powerbook G4
-Now 1" thin
-New Intel Core Duo processors (Dual core processors)
-You can run Windows Native on it, sortakindamaybe. Windows uses BIOS and Mac uses something else, though if emulation software makers upgrade their software, they can make it so that Windows runs at a significantly faster speed, though not completely native.
-Magtec Technology Power adapter
Ever tripped over your portables' AC adapter and send it flying off the table? Well, Apple wants to prevent this, with the new Magsafe technology. If you trip over it, it'll just come out - the portable won't even move.
-Brighter screen, for those who want their screens to be super-bright. 67% brighter to be exact.
The new iMac
No new differences, but the iMac will now run 2-3x more faster than it's predecessor.
About the intel processor, and applications
As you all know, every single existing application for the Macintosh platform up until Mr. Jobs keynote this month has been designed for the PowerPC... And with the intel processor, things won't really work right. That's why Apple has installed something called Rosetta in all intel machines. This will allow PowerPC applications to run native on the new intel machines. On another note, all new applications will be Universal. This means that the application will work on both the intel and PowerPC architecture.
Airport and other wireless.
The airport is pretty much a wireless device that allows you to connect to the internet, play music wirelessly throughout your house (Airtunes). There are many types of Airports, including the Airport Base station, the big thing that's like a wireless hub, the Airport extreme, the upgraded version, and the super-handy one that I use, the mobile Airport express. To keep track of your wireless connection, note the little Airport icon on the status bar. If most bars are filled, you have a strong connection and vice-versa. Setup of the airport is easy (for first time use). Click the airport icon in the status bar, then click 'Create new Network'. Name it, fill out some other details, then plugin you're airport. Wait for a minute or so, then click the airport icon again, and see if there's a network to connect to (your own, most likely), and connect. And now you have internet connection.
Requirements to run Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger
Much like Latios's guide to run Windows XP, here's the one for Mac;
-PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
-Built-in FireWire
-At least 256MB of physical RAM
-A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
-At least 3.0 GB of available space on your hard drive; 4GB of disk space if -you install XCode 2 developer tools
-DVD drive for installation
With a nice and clean graphical interface, it is easy to upgrade to Tiger. Simply fill out all of the info it requires, re-boot you're computer and you're done.
Theming and Icons:
Two ways to customize you're Mac OS X machine... Icons if you don't want to take the risks of theming (not the safest thing to do) but want to customize it a little. A great program to do this with is CandyBar. Iconfactory is also a great place to download icons. As for themes, the thing that would be probably best if you want to theme would be ShapeShifter. A good place to download themes would be at here. Remember, if you're going to customize your computer with low risk of screwing it up (fix by re-installing OS), use icons.
Security and other worries
You know, I don't really think I need to go into this much. I've never had my computer crash before. You can technically run you're computer on forever if you customize a PowerMac to be a monster. However, if you really want to be secure, open of system preferences, go to sharing and select firewall. Click 'Advanced' and select the 'Stealth Mode' option box. Virtually nothing can get a response that you're computer even exists, not even if spyware even somehow magically infects you're computer.
Recomended Video Players
Simply a wonderful application than can play almost every video codec - very, very useful. Can make and edit videos in combination with iMovie and iDVD. Plays midi's, and all of your other video and movie needs.
VLC. If something can't play in Quicktime or anything, this is the player for you.
Real Media Player
Not really worth much beside the fact that in can play .ram, .rmvb, and .rm files.
Wonderful. Can encode a lot of video formats, including mpeg4, h.264, avi, psp, and ipod.
Recomended Audio Players
Yeah. Pretty much Mac's equivalent to winamp, which was released for the Mac 4 years ago but discontinued. iTunes play's videos, music, audiobooks, and podcasts.
More to come soon!
Software/App Development
Xcode, is your answer. Bundled within the second installation DVD of Mac OS X, this really is a treat. I can't really go in-depth to this right now as I have not tried making anything yet, but you can be sure that when I do (which should be soon) I'll have more information. I can say though, that interface creation goes very smooth.
What about my Windows Applications?!
Have no fear, Microsoft's Virtual PC 7 holds all of your answers. Some say it runs slow, but that's because they don't have a decent amount of RAM. If you have about 1.5 gigs installed, it'll run like lightning. Basically, Windows running on your computer via the virtual OS system... Can go on the internet, play very low RAM consuming games etc.
And another reason to buy it is this; the undoable drives feature... Hehe, if something goes wrong with it, you can select the option to undo a hardware installation or something that might infect the OS... A nice feature if you screw up your PC.
Help with hardware or Apple Products
Nah, you don't have to go to a companies website or whatever you Windows people do *feels ashamed of the many time's he taken in his PC in for repairs*, all's ya have to do is go to Apple's wonderful support website.
Mac OS 9 Applications
To run a Mac OS 9 application, simply install the package via the second Mac OS X install disc that came with your computer. Note that this isn't a dual boot, simply an emulator to run the applications (well, you see the boot up screen but that's different). I'm not sure if Mac OS 8 and lower applications will work with it, but it shouldn't really matter seeing as almost all of those applications are ancient. Classic Environment takes about a gig of your disk space IIRC. An example of running an application in the Classic Environment can be found here.
Portables and batteries
For the portable user, you have pretty much the same amount of worries as the desktop user. Except the battery... At around 300 charges of the Lithium ion battery, the amount of life you'll get out of your laptop drops by 20%. So if you have an iBook, you'll have around 3-5 hours off battery life, whereas if you're a Powerbook user, you'll have around 2 and a half hours - 4 hours of life. If you feel this is insuffcient(sp?), go ahead to the Online Apple Store and search the name of your portable along with 'Batteries'.
Part 2 - How to replace a battery
How would you replace you're battery? First, you'd wanna turn your portable off. Flip it on it's back, and look for something that looks like a slot. Use a penny to turn it to lock or unlock the battery, and it'll come off. Simple as that. For more information about batteries, visit Apple's Battery Page.

One Million Moms Protests Kraft's Naked 'Zesty Guy' Ad for Salad Dressing
One Million Moms Protests Kraft's Naked 'Zesty Guy' Ad for Salad Dressing
One Million Moms is currently criticizing Kraft Foods for its new "Let's Get Zesty" salad dressing advertising campaign, which the group argues uses sex to sell by promoting a nearly-naked "Zesty Guy" as their official spokesperson for the product.
On its official website, the conservative family interest group One Million Moms, which is a nonprofit founded by the American Family Association, condemns Kraft for "using s*x to sell salad dressing."
"Kraft has gone too far and will push away loyal, conservative customers with this new ad campaign," the group states in a post entitled "Shame on Kraft."
"Christians will not be able to buy Kraft dressings or any of their products until they clean up their advertising. The consumers they are attempting to attract – women and mothers – are the very ones they are driving away," the group continues, adding that it had to censor some of the words in its statement with an asterisk in order to get past certain email firewalls.
"Who will want Kraft products in their fridge or pantry if this vulgarity is what they represent? One Million Moms cannot get over the gall of this company. It is unnecessary for Kraft to use s*x to sell salad dressing!"
The group is referencing a recent two-page advertisement found in People magazine, which features actor Anderson Davis, deemed "The Zesty Guy," laying down naked on a red and white checkered picnic blanket with only the corner of the blanket covering his genital area.
"The Zesty Guy" is surrounded by classic picnic foods, including Kraft's Zesty Italian dressing, and in the upper corner of advertisement reads the slogan "Silverware Optional – Let's Get Zesty," accompanied by the website "getmezesty.com."
The "getmezesty.com" website offers users the option of sending their friends personalized "zestygrams," similar to an online birthday card or congratulatory card, via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or email.
Along with these marketing techniques, the food and beverage company has produced several quirky commercials featuring its new spokesman.
Commercials include "The Zesty Guy" cooking with the salad dressing before his shirt is removed from the heat of the stove, and the actor posing shirtless while holding a white puppy with a red bow around its neck.
The advertising campaign, which launched in early April, even has its own YouTube channel, titled "Let's Get Zesty," also featuring several brief commercials with The Zesty Guy promoting the salad dressing, often losing at least one article of clothing in each 30-second spot.
Kraft has defended its advertising campaign, describing it in a recent statement as a "playful" way to promote salad dressing.
"Our Kraft dressing's 'Let's Get Zesty' campaign is a playful and flirtatious way to reach our consumers. People have overwhelmingly said they're enjoying the campaign and having fun with it," the company said in a statement, as reported by USA Today.
NBC's the "Today" show is currently conducting a reader poll on the advertisement, asking voters if they believe the advertisement is "way too racy" or "clearly in good fun."
As of Tuesday, the votes were nearly split down the middle, with 45 percent of readers voting the ad was "too racy" and 55 percent voting the ad was "clearly in good fun."
Viewers have taken to Twitter to express their delight or concern over the sexualized ad campaign, with some calling it "creative" and "hilarious" and others describing it as "over the top" or "degrading."
"The Zesty Guy" himself has even partaken in promoting the ad campaign through his Twitter, calling the advertisements "too hot to handle."
One Million Moms is asking all those who oppose this new Kraft ad campaign to write a letter to the Chicago-based food and beverage conglomerate, urging them to discontinue the "Let's Get Zesty" string of commercials and ads.
The family interest group has previously protested other ad campaigns which they argue go against family morals, including JC Penney's use of Ellen DeGeneres as company spokeswoman, and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on CBS in December 2012.
The objective of the nonprofit organization is to rally moms across America to address "the immorality, violence, vulgarity and profanity the entertainment media is throwing at your children."

8:30 to 9:15 a.m.: Each day, the rover's scientific operations have to fit within a three-dimensional box defined by time, data and energy.
The various teams draw up prioritized lists of the experiments they want to conduct, but it's up to the Science Operations Working Group to figure out how much they can get done in a day, how many bits of data can be downlinked, and how much of the rover's solar-generated electricity can be used. A software program called the Science Activity Planner , or SAP, is crucial for doing the accounting.
Opportunity's schedule for Sol 47 has already been roughed out using SAP, but it's well over budget — and that's just how science team leader Steve Squyres likes it. He wants to make sure there are plenty of experiments to choose from, so that not a second of the rover's time goes begging.
At the daily meeting, mission managers and lead scientists for the rover's instruments sit at tables arranged like three sides of a square, facing giant projection screens that are mounted on the wall beyond the open fourth side. Squyres presides at the central table.
Around the edges of the room sit other team members, including Matt Golombek, a veteran of the 1997 Mars Pathfinder mission, who is handling Spirit science operations and will take the stage for the news briefing later in the morning. Some of the back-benchers flit in and out as the meeting proceeds.
Topic A has to do with the blueberries displayed on the big screens. The rover planner for the shift, Eric Baumgartner, assures Squyres that the rover's robotic arm is precise enough to target a single blueberry, measuring only a tenth of an inch (3 millimeters) across.
Opportunity's Mössbauer spectrometer would be used to analyze the mineral composition of the target — which has been given the whimsical nickname of Mössberry.
"Why that one rather than that cluster of three to the right of it?" Squyres asks Daniel Rodionov, a young German researcher who is on the team for the Mössbauer spectrometer.
"If you miss Mössberry, you still get some berries," Rodionov explains.
"But Eric says he's going to get us to a third or a tenth of a berry," Squyres shoots back, raising a laugh from the group.
Squyres worries that Opportunity's robotic arm may have nudged Mössberry out of position during the previous round of observations, and he's still intrigued by the triple berry as an alternate target. "I don't think we're going to solve this at this particular moment," Squyres says.
With the blueberry question tabled, Squyres reviews the other proposed activities for Sol 47, displayed as a spreadsheet on the video screen.
The panoramic camera team wants to make a sky-column observation at midday, watch a solar eclipse by the Martian moon Phobos in the afternoon, and study a rock named Fool's Silver. The team in charge of Opportunity's miniature thermal emission spectrometer, or mini-TES, wants to conduct three low-elevation "sky stares" to analyze the Martian atmosphere. Another team wants to take pictures of magnets mounted on the rover itself, to measure the magnetic properties of Martian dust. The rover team wants to take more pictures of a rock formation called Shoemaker's Patio for navigation purposes.
Squyres looks at how the spreadsheet is toting up the time and the data. "Please tally total bits for me ... 88 [megabits] ... OK, I'm not going to lose sleep over that," he says. But the time required for all the observations is significantly over the allotted four hours.
"Let's make sure we've got the priorities straight so we can get close to that," Squyres says.
One of the mini-TES sky stares is dropped. Watching the eclipse is dubbed a Priority 2 item, but it remains on the table.
"The Pancam noon sky column is significantly at risk at 2," Squyres tells the group. "That's probably where I'm gonna go shopping if we're busted. I'll tell you right up front, I think there's a high chance that won't make it. But if that goes away, we're clearly in the bag."
At the end of the meeting, Squyres polls the team leaders around the table. "I'm not asking, do we make any changes. I'm just asking if you're happy with the plan," he says.
"Oh, I'm happy with the plan ... ecstatic," one scientist answers.
"Ecstatic ... that's what I like," Squyres says. "Scottie, are you ecstatic, or just happy?"
"I'm more than ecstatic," comes the reply.
"Bill, can you top that?" Squyres says.
"I'm super, extra ecstatic ..." Bill begins. Then the meeting dissolves into laughter.

If you plan your weekend just right you can enjoy back-to-back home design events from Friday morning, July 8, through Friday evening and into Saturday, July 9 and Sunday, July 10. It's all design all the time…and all for a good cause.
Get ready to be dazzled by beautiful homes, historic properties, priceless antiques and decorative items for the home and garden at separate fundraisers for the John Jermain Library in Sag Harbor and the East Hampton Historical Society in East Hampton.
Start with the Friends of the John Jermain Library's Annual House Tour for the benefit of the library on Friday, July 8, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. There are six fabulous homes featured in this summer's self-guided tour – three historic houses in the village, one on the water in Bay Point and two on the water in North Haven. [expand]
I attended last year's library home tour with my cousin Pam McLoughlin, who has a summer home in Noyac. When I picked up our tickets I received an easy-to-follow map to the featured homes, and because I was new to the area, I asked Pam to drive while I read the map. I recommend this carpooling technique, as it is much more fun to share the house tour experience with a friend. We saw new and historic homes, elegant and eclectic homes, and even an artist's studio or two along the way. There was also a much-appreciated refreshment break at the most beautiful waterfront home on the tour. We had no trouble getting around to all six homes, fortified by High Tea!
But back to Friday, July 8. From 6 to 8:30 p.m., the East Hampton Historical Society's 2011 Antiques Show kicks off with a Preview Cocktail Party hosted by honorary chair Newell Turner, editor-in-chief of House Beautiful. "I'm honored to join with the Historical Society to kick off the antiques show," said Turner. "Every summer brings a new wealth of top-quality design gathered from up and down the Eastern seaboard."
Tickets to the Preview Cocktail Party are $150 and include admission to the Antiques Show the following two days. Proceeds benefit the East Hampton Historical Society and the event offers patrons an early opportunity to view and buy the extraordinary array of antiques and collectibles for sale all weekend.
Now in its fifth year, the East Hampton show is widely recognized as the premier antiques event on eastern Long Island. And while I unfortunately missed last year's show, my colleague Tamara Matthews–Stephenson did attend. See her story, featuring an interview with Newell Turner, also on this page.
Both the outdoor Friday night Preview Cocktail Party and Antiques Show on Saturday and Sunday take place on the historic grounds of Mulford Farm, located on James Lane in the heart of the village of East Hampton. This historic property features a rare and restored 17th century farmhouse as well as several barns and outbuildings that are among eastern Long Island's oldest.
More than 55 antique dealers will feature antiques and decorative items for the home and garden. Vintage rattan and bamboo furniture, lighting, textiles, architectural elements, American formal and country painted furniture, Art Deco and Moderne furniture, garden ornaments, wrought iron accessories, industrial items, paintings, trade signs, period jewelry, weather vanes, and mirrors will be offered.

First a little backgound info. We have a networked application in which our midrange, (AS400) will create a MS Word template and forward the template to a remote computer. The remote computer will "fire up" MS Word when it receives the template and have Word add some finishing touches. Word will print the document and then save the document using Save As with a timestamp to name the document. The remote computer is an unattended workstation meaning that an administrator initially logs into the computer and then locks the computer.
The problem that we have is that Word occasionally hangs when the Word Automation starts the Save As function. what I need to do is somehow monitor Word on the remote computer to determine if it has hung while it is attempting to do Save As.
Any suggestions?

Strangely, on the day Pillar formally announces its faster Axiom with boosted controller performance, EMC has announced denser CLARiiON and Celerra arrays with 2TB drive support.
The higher-density CLARiiON CX4s have double the capacity of existing systems in half the floorspace, due to a new rack design. They support 2TB SATA drives and drive spin-down which, with the 2TB drive's lower power needs, cuts overall energy consumption.
EMC says the new configurations offer full access to all disk drives from the front of the rack. A sliding design enables the front enclosures to be moved forward, providing easy access to enclosures and drives in a second 'slide out' tier.
The new CX4 arrays can hold up to 390 2TB drives, spinning at either 5,400 or 7,200rpm - the same spin speeds as Pillar's 2TB drives - meaning 780TB of raw storage capacity and solid state drives (SSD) in a single rack. A Celerra gateway box sits in front of a CX4, so to speak, and provides CIFS and NFS access to the new arrays.
Existing CX4 120, 240, 480 and 960 arrays also support 2TB drives and come in single, dual and triple rack configurations respectively. EMC hasn't named any of the new CX4 configurations, so we'll refer to one as the CX4 390 for convenience. In capacity terms, this CX4 390 sits between the CX4 240 and 480 and, as it's a single rack configuration, could be viewed as more or less replacing the 240 product, although EMC has not announced any end of life for the 240.
It or a smaller sibling might also replace the CX4 120 half-rack system, although that may well remain as a low-cost entry point.
The new CX4s support 1TB drives as well as 2TB ones, and EMC says its fully-automated storage tiering (FAST) will put the right data in the right drive tier so was to not waste storage space and expense by filling fast-response media with low access-rate data.
The denser CX4s are available now, with the Celerra gateways becoming available for them later this year. ®

LOS ANGELES (AP) — One of California's major health care plans is racing to translate materials into Spanish. A small businessman in Burbank is perplexed over what "Obamacare" will mean for him and his workers. Home Depot Inc., Trader Joe's and other large employers are slashing health benefits for part-time workers and directing them into the nation's reordered health insurance marketplace.
President Barack Obama's health care overhaul gets its public unveiling Tuesday when those marketplaces, also called exchanges, open for business, allowing consumers to comparison shop between insurance plans online. The Affordable Care Act will dramatically change the way many Americans will get health insurance and marks the most extensive change to the nation's health care system since Medicare and Medicaid became law in 1965.
Polls have shown many Americans remain mystified by the law, and Obama last week acknowledged the change had the nation on edge: "The devil you know is always better than the devil you don't know," he said.
To Howard Kahn, chief executive of L.A. Care Health Plan, the biggest challenge will be communicating what the law means to the millions of people it will affect.
"By definition, it will be a bit messy on the way," said Kahn, whose group serves more than 1 million Los Angeles County residents through free or low-cost health insurance programs, including Medi-Cal, the state arm of Medicaid. Last week, staffers were rushing to complete Spanish translations for some coverage materials.
"People are going to be confused," he said.
California will see about $300 million in federal money for outreach and advertising, some of which is going to a wide array of groups that are trying to promote the law. Yet uncertainty remains. A Kaiser Family Foundation survey of 2,000 uninsured Californians over the summer found 70 percent said they did not have enough information to understand how the law will affect their families.
With a diverse population of about 38 million, the state is being watched as something of a laboratory for "Obamacare." Its success or failure here could have broad influence nationally.
The state was first to approve establishment of a new exchange, called Covered California. It also is home to 15 percent of the nation's uninsured, or roughly 7 million people — a number that exceeds the populations of Arizona or Massachusetts.
"This is where it needs to work," said Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California, a consumer group that supports the health care law and has worked closely with the new state agency. "If we can make it here, we can make it work anywhere."
Beginning in 2014, virtually all Americans will be required to have health insurance or pay an annual penalty to the government. For residents who have health coverage through an employer, not much is expected to happen on Oct. 1, when enrollment begins. Actual coverage through insurance purchased on the exchanges will start Jan. 1.
Among those without insurance, an estimated 5.3 million Californians will be eligible for coverage through the state-run exchange, officials estimate.
The launch takes place against a backdrop of continuing political unrest over the law and what it will mean, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the coming weeks.
One concern is that many of those who come forward at first will be sick people who have been rejected previously for coverage, while healthy, younger people sit on the sidelines, at least initially.
To balance the books, premiums paid by healthy people, who typically need few services, are needed to cover the cost of care for those with medical conditions. Under the law, insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to people who become sick, one of many requirements that also will increase the cost of coverage.
"It's absolutely true that those who are the sickest will sign up the quickest," Wright says. But "you want to cover of pool of people that is big and broad, rather than sick and small."
Not everyone is likely to be pleased with their options under the new law.
For a lower-income person lacking health coverage, "Obamacare" is expected to be a blessing because taxpayers will pick up the individual's health care costs through an expanded Medicaid program that has been accepted in California. Generous tax credits will greatly reduce the cost of insurance for lower-income people who make too much to qualify for Medicaid.
Yet critics have warned that costs will rise for many who earn too much for the government subsidies. Many middle class and upper-middle consumers who need to buy their own health insurance will be greeted with high monthly premiums and deductibles, in part because insurers now must offer a minimum of level of benefits in their plans.
Sunder Ramani, a property manager in Burbank and an adviser to the National Federation of Independent Business in California, said he is still trying to figure out the law's impact.
Small companies — those with up to 50 full-time workers — are not required to provide coverage for their workers under the law, although the new state exchange will offer a marketplace for small businesses to shop for coverage.
In his office, 15 workers receive health coverage through the company, but it's facing a possible double-digit premium increase. He doesn't know if his workers will find insurance through the new exchange more affordable or if he should start shopping for a new plan for the company. The former Republican Assembly candidate also worries that the changes could strain ties between management and employees.
"These are things that are all unknown," Ramani said.

Princeton University's School of Architecture offers an undergraduate major and advanced degrees at both the master's and doctoral levels.
This video provides a look at the school through three students who have either completed a program or who are working toward a degree.
In addition, Alejandro Zaera-Polo, dean of the School of Architecture, talks about his plans to enhance one of the school's distinguishing features, its connections across the University.
"One of the things that I would like to implement in the next few years is to form an area of knowledge where both the humanities and the sciences converge, which is actually quite an interesting side of the discipline of architecture," Zaera-Polo said.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – No titles changed hands in Strikeforce's first championship doubleheader of 2011.
In the organization's first major show of the year, Strikeforce welterweight champion survived very live underdog Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos and ultimately scored a second-round submission victory.
The bout headlined Saturday's "Strikeforce: Cyborg vs. Santos" event at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. The event aired on Showtime.
Although scheduled for five rounds, Santos clearly had no intention of going the distance. And though criticized as an unworthy title challenger, the former PRIDE fighter tripped up Diaz early.
But after chopping away with leg kicks and proving the durability of Diaz's chin with some heavy blows, Santos simply ate punch after punch as his defenses faded away. Santos likely gained some confidence from the low kicks that bettered Diaz's right knee. But Diaz closed out the round with his usual quick fire of punches, few of which Santos defended. A big left hand in the final seconds likely won the champ the round.
The slugfest continued in the second round, and each fighter's chin was tested. Santos finally went on the defensive when Diaz sneaked through a few effective elbow-strike crosses. But Santos regrouped and found success with a few well-places counter-shots. But then came what would prove to be a mistake.
Santos scored the ill-advised trip-takedown late in the round. Diaz quickly saw an opening for an armbar, and though he initially defended by rolling out of the pressure, Santos was forced to tap out from the submission with just 10 seconds remaining in the fight.
Diaz admittedly got a challenge in his second successful title defense.
"I figured I'd put on pressure so he'd have to do something to avoid more punches," the jiu-jitsu based Diaz said while explaining why Santos went for the takedown.
While known for a brash attitude and plenty of trash-talking, Diaz was all compliments when it came to Santos.
"I respect the way he fights," Diaz said. "He doesn't mess around. He came out here and fought me. He didn't play games."
Diaz (24-7 MMA, 5-0 SF) now has won nine straight fights, eight via stoppage, and Strikeforce's thin welterweight division offers few high-profile candidates outside of Paul Daley for a next title challenge.
Santos (18-14 MMA, 1-2 SF) sees a two-fight win streak come to an end while suffering his fifth loss in eight fights.
Souza uses ground assault to defend title
Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza has his first title defense in the books, though challenger Robbie Lawler may be kicking himself for a lost opportunity.
Lawler had his opening in the first round when Souza got into a slugfest with the striker. Souza was stunned and then floored when Lawler unloaded a lunging knee and quick left hook. But the challenger inexplicably followed Souza to the mat, where the champ was able to regain his wits while awaiting the round's end.
Souza then put on a ground clinic in the second round. After getting the takedown, Souza rotated between dominant positions with heavy ground and pound and multiple near-successful submission attempts. Lawler took substantial damage in the round but escaped an armbar attempt to survive it. Still, MMAjunkie.com scores it 10-8 for the champ due to the sheer dominance.
Souza again took the fight to the mat in what would prove to be the decisive third round. Lawler did little to defend, and Souza quickly moved to his back and secured his hooks. While initially fending it off, Lawler eventually succumbed to the rear-naked choke when Souza torqued it at the 2:00 mark of the round.
"I came prepared for everything," said Souza, who won the belt, which was vacated by Jake Shields, with an August win over Tim Kennedy. "I have great coaches, friends and training partners. I feel great now."
Souza (14-2 MMA, 4-0 SF) now has won his past four fights, all in Strikeforce. Lawler (20-7 MMA, 2-3 SF), meanwhile, has rotated between wins and losses for the fifth time under the Strikeforce banner.
NFL vet Walker makes quick work of Carson
Don't piss off Herschel Walker.
That's the lesson Scott Carson will take away from his heavyweight bout with the former NFL great. After grazing Walker with a head kick in the opening seconds of their fight, Carson would offer little the rest of the way and ultimately suffered a first-round TKO loss.
After taking the kick, Walker yelled, likely more in frustration than anger. But either way, Carson paid the price. Walker dropped him with a quick right hand, avoided a leg lock, and then blasted away on the one-time WEC fighter with countless blows as he turtled up on the mat. Tired of the abuse, Carson attempted to get back to his feet, but he quickly was put back on the canvas with Walker straight right.
The ref had seen enough and halted the bout at the 3:13 mark of the opening round.
"I took a kick when I think I was getting a little too excited," Walker said. "When you're in an MMA fight, you shouldn't take a kick like that."
Walker said his and American Kickboxing Academy trainer Javier Mendez's plan was to launch a quick assault.
"One thing Javier told me is to be on offense," he said. "That's what I've been saying. I've got to be on offense … and control what I'm doing in the cage."
Walker (2-0 MMA, 1-0 SF), who was forced out of a December fight with Carson after suffering a facial cut in training, saw 12 months between his first two pro bouts. But the soon-to-be 49-year-old said he plans to fight more frequently this year.
Carson (4-2 MMA, 0-1 SF), meanwhile, suffers his first loss since a nine-year break from pro competition.
Gracie chokes out Prangley
Roger Gracie continue his winning ways and picked up arguably the biggest victory of his MMA career with a first-round submission victory over veteran light heavyweight Trevor Prangley.
After a few uneventful minutes with limited standup from both competitors, Gracie got the takedown he needed. Prangley remained in a seated position against the cage, but Gracie methodically flattened him out, took his back, and secured a vise-like body lock before securing the fight-ending rear-naked choke.
The end, which Prangley frantically tried to fight off, came at the 4:19 mark of the round.
"I think everything happened as planned," Gracie said. "I knew he was heavy-handed, but I know I have the reach on my feet. So I played with the jab, and I knew he was going to come in hard. That was my plan to shoot in, and it happened exactly like that."
Gracie (4-0 MMA, 2-0 SF), who registered just three pro MMA bouts in his first four years while mixing in numerous grappling tournaments, plans to amp up the frequency of his MMA fights in 2011. Prangley (23-7-1 MMA, 3-2-1 SF) falls to 1-2-1 in his past four fights.
Hill, Kesler score upsets in prelims
Nate Moore (7-2 MMA, 2-1 SF) used a quick start to the second round to set up a knockout victory over fellow welterweight Nathan Coy (8-4 MMA, 1-2 SF) in the night's featured preliminary-card bout. The fighters, who originally were slated to fight earlier this month before the bout was delayed a few weeks, jockeyed for position on the mat through the first round. But once standing in the second, Moore connected on a brutal right that was followed by a quick left. Coy, who was sent to the mat, was forced to cover up from the blows just 25 seconds into the round.
In a shocking upset, Isaiah Hill (5-7-1 MMA, 1-2 SF) used two devastating knees and snapped a six-fight winless streak to score a first-round submission victory over lightweight Bobby Stack (8-2 MMA, 3-2 SF). After some flashy kicks fell short, Hill countered Stack's takedown attempt with a grazing knee to the head. With his opponent wobbly, Hill followed with another flying knee that popped Stack, set up a takedown and resulted in a fight-ending triangle choke just 62 seconds into the fight.
In a 180-pound catchweight fight, Ron Keslar (5-3 MMA, 2-0 SF) scored an upset and snapped his opponent's five-fight win streak by stopping Eric Lawson (9-3 MMA, 5-1 SF) with a first-round submission victory. Lawson attempted to get the fight to the mat, but Keslar wrestled him for dominant position. Although he fended off a triangle choke, Lawson immediately was forced to tap out from the following armbar at the 1:57 mark.
Former undefeated kickboxer Germaine de Randamie (2-1 MMA, 1-0 SF) used a decent enough ground game to avoid trouble and set up her heavy blows en route to a first-round TKO victory over Stephanie Webber (1-2 MMA, 0-1 SF). After surviving her opponent's submission attempts, De Randamie got back to her feet, secured the clinch and knocked out her opponent with a vicious knee to the face at the 4:25 mark of the opening round.
James Terry (9-2 MMA, 4-1 SF) quietly picked up his fourth win in five Strikeforce fights with an impressive striking display against fellow welterweight Lucas Gamaza (4-2 MMA, 0-1 SF). Terry unloaded a steady stream of blows that eventually forced Gamaza to the mat to cover up. The end came at the 3:26 mark of the opening round.
In the night's opening bout, Jenna Castillo (1-0 MMA, 0-1 SF) made a successful pro debut, displayed impressive striking skills and suitable ground defense, and ultimately scored a second-round TKO of Charlene Gellner (0-1 MMA, 0-1 SF). Castillo, who dominated the action standing, used a right cross that was followed with a knee to the head to set up the stoppage at the 3:57 mark of the round.

I formated my Mac after a few years of work and forgot to do books backup because iPad was lightly used. As a result all my books stuck on the iPad and if I want to add some new from a computer it wants to erase the existing books.
With iFile, I tried to copy books, but there are only folders, not epub files.
So is there any way to get them back or somehow combine with new iTunes library? In general I don't need those books readable on mac, just to restore and the ability to add new ones to the iPad.

The cliche of the cutthroat businessman who wins at all costs has been done and overdone at least since Shakespeare wrote The Merchant of Venice. Our intuition and – hopefully – everything our mothers taught us says that you catch more flies with sugar than you do with vinegar. But the complex world of business isn't a white hat/black hat, either/or toss-up between Gordon Gekko and the Geico gecko.
In order to succeed, however, you'll eventually have to put some separation between your career and your emotions. Do nice guys finish last? No, not always, but good businesspeople aren't nice guys or mean guys – they're just good businesspeople.
Business Isn't Personal
After Marlon Brando's character was shot in The Godfather, his son, played by Al Pacino, famously said while plotting his revenge, "It's not personal. It's only business." Michael Corleone was planning the murder of a police captain to further his family's criminal empire.
Should you kill cops to get ahead? Most CEOs would probably advise against it. But the point remains, emotions cloud decisions. We're beings driven by emotion, so it's difficult, but the best business decisions are made not out of loyalty or fear or anger or jealousy. They're made with a head that's been scrubbed of feelings altogether. If that comes off as cold or calculating, good. Most good businesspeople are both of those things.
Lessons Are Valuable
You're a businessperson, not a philanthropist. The business world is a fairly small fraternity; the likelihood of you knowing – or knowing of – someone who is close to someone with whom you have negative dealings is high. If a deal, or lack thereof, leaves someone holding the short end of the stick, there's nothing to be ashamed of as long as you didn't lie or cheat or swindle or steal to make sure it wasn't you.
In business ,there are winners and losers. At some point, you'll be both. When you win, you win, and when you lose, you take away an invaluable lesson. When you outfox someone, even if it's someone you like or someone with whom you have respected mutual friends, you're winning and he's learning. If you can justify your actions to the people in between without bending the truth, you've done nothing wrong. Only one team can win – and they all know it.
A Winner Necessitates a Loser
In season four of The Wire, ripoff artist Omar Little was robbing drug kingpin Marlo Stanfield. When Stanfield said, "That's my money," Little replied, "Money ain't got no owners. Only spenders."
Like physical matter in the universe, money cannot be created or destroyed. It only changes hands. The cruel fact – which your inner nice guy must accept – is that for you to gain, someone, somewhere has to lose. Win gracefully, win with dignity, but win. If you can't handle that fact, you should do something other than business – oh, and you're on wrong planet, too.
You don't have to be heartless, but sometimes, you do need to squash the competition in business.
You don't have to be cruel or cold to be in business. In fact, the guys at the top are often warm, kind human beings – when they're not at work. When you're working, you don't have the luxury of looking out for other people's feelings. If they're good at what they do, they won't be looking out for yours.

Nigeria: Sabotaged phone lines worsen crisis
Sabotaged phone lines prevented students from warning friends and possibly saving their lives in the attack in which 22 college students were killed earlier this week, survivors said Friday.
Assailants attacked student accommodation in the northeastern town of Mubi late Monday, shooting some and stabbing others to death, near Federal Polytechnic Mubi, a college in the northeastern town of Mubi. Police say they killed at least 22 students and three others.
John Bello, a Mubi college student, said Friday that only one mobile phone network was working in the town and that it was congested.
"We could maybe have alerted some of those that were killed if the networks weren't down," Bello said.
"Many students didn't find out what happened until they saw students running (away)," said Danjuma Aiso, another student. "When we tried to call those in the affected area, our calls didn't go through," he added.
Aiso said he heard gunshots for about five hours from his hiding place. However, Adamawa state police spokesman Ibrahim Mohammed said the attacks ended much more quickly although he could not say Friday how long authorities believe they lasted. He said police are still investigating and that there had been no arrests. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Days after the killings hit the secluded college, many questions remain about what actually happened. Sabotaged phone lines are partly to blame for the information vacuum as people in the town struggle to communicate with those in other parts of Nigeria.
The killings came a month after the radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram attacked more than 20 phone masts in Nigeria's north that effectively crippled communications in some areas.
In Nigeria, home to more than 160 million people, mobile phones are the main method of communication in both cities and rural communities. Landlines remain almost nonexistent, as the state-run telephone company has collapsed and repeated efforts to privatize it have failed. More 87 million mobile phone lines were in use in 2009, according to estimates.
Days after the attack, the difficult communications are still having a negative effect.
Police has not yet notified next-of-kin, Mohammed said Friday, leaving parents like Dauda Mbaya dreading that their children may be among the dead.
"Someone told me (my daughter) is OK, but I have not heard from her yet," Mbaya, a journalist based in Maiduguri, a city some 100 miles (170 kilometers) away, said Friday.
The Mubi killings show how the communication breakdown is making people even more anxious and vulnerable to widespread crime.
"The lack of good (phone networks) makes life very tough and insecure for us," said Abba Ado, a security guard at a bank in the Maiduguri, "Each time we hear bomb blasts or gun shots, we become agitated, because we cannot get across to our wives at home or our children at school."
Yuguda Ibrahim, a cameraman, said his neighbor's pregnant wife could not call her husband as she started to feel labor pains.
"She almost died because all the calls she tried to place across to her husband wouldn't get through," said Ibrahim. "The child was already coming out when my wife heard her groaning and helped her deliver in their bedroom."
Yinka Ibukun contributed to this report from Lagos, Nigeria.

Once you've shed your ex, you can 'shred' him or her at this Washington, D.C. bar
WASHINGTON -- They came in anger. They came in pain. They came in bitterness.
They came to feed old letters, once-cherished photographs, tender notes and adoring cards of happier Valentine's Days into a little black shredder. Over the course of Saturday night, its metal teeth would gnash the mementos, its bin spilling over with tattered scraps of disappointed love.
This was the fifth annual "Shred Your Ex" at D.C.'s Bottom Line bar, where the lovelorn came to settle old scores, at least in their own minds, and put the past behind them. The event is part of a popular Anti-Valentine's Day movement of parties, gatherings and even merchandise that's gained steam in recent years. Some are protesting what they call the consumerist Romance Industrial Complex. Others celebrate Feb. 14 as "Singles Awareness Day."
They want the world to know that Americans are increasingly living alone and that many are perfectly fine without love, thank you very much. And, of course, those unlucky in love are big players in the movement. They're the ones buying the balloons that say, "I'm Not With Stupid Anymore"; the T-shirts that announce, "Love Is for Losers"; and the cards with sad, gray hearts that read, "Sigh."
Joya Patel, 23, of Burke, Va., clutched a black-and-white photocopy of a picture of a chiseled man wearing only tight, black shorts and striking a bodybuilder's pose. "I know, he's hot, right?" she nodded to onlookers as she approached the shredder perched on the end of the bar. "I wanted it to work out, but it didn't. He blew it."
She dramatically raised the photo of the man she said she'd dated over the summer, who used to send her flirty texts and leave sweet and sexy sticky notes on her locker at the gym. She fed the picture into the maws of the shredder, and in an instant it was torn to bits, like her heart had been.
She pumped her fist in the air and let out a howl. "WHOOO!"
The crowd cheered.
Sitting directly in front of the shredder, Ivan Aguilar, 28, clapped wildly. He himself had shredded an old love a few years ago. "It felt good to shred her name to pieces. We'd been together for three years, then broke up over something really stupid. It was like a release," he said. "Then I met my current girlfriend here."
He smiled at Ashleigh Delaney, 24, who was sitting next to him, fiddling with the gold heart she wore on a necklace.
Is she the one?
"I really hope so," Aguilar said.
And just as Aguilar found new love after he'd shredded the old one, this year's shredders hold out the same hope. Despite their wounds, they said they still believe in love.
"That guy treated me like a summer fling, and I'm wife material," Patel said after the shredding, downing her sorrows with a shot, offered on the house to every shredder. It was a bright pink concoction of raspberry vodka, peach schnapps, pineapple juice and grenadine, called the Heartbreaker. "I'm looking for a soul mate."
"Me, too," said her friend, Tessa Jarrett, 22, of Fairfax. Jarrett had shredded a photo of her off-and-on ex of six years. "I don't know how I'll meet him. It could be anywhere. Maybe here, maybe at Wal-Mart. . . ."
"Or in Miami, at least it's warm there," Patel said, laughing and rolling her eyes. "Maybe my soul mate is in Miami."
Bar manager Kevin Martin, known to the regulars as K-Mart, has seen it all before, the jilted and the heartbroken seeking solace from love gone wrong and hoping, like all the sappy songs attest, that love will still save them. The idea for the "Shred Your Ex, Find Your Next" party came from a bartender who used to work at the Bottom Line, he said, and the idea caught on.
As the DJ cued up such songs as Joan Jett's "Love Stinks," K-Mart handed out blank sheets of paper and permanent markers for those who wanted to shred an ex but hadn't brought anything to feed into the machine. "Loser! Fake! Likes to Take Advantage of Women! No Morals and No Conscience," read one note. Others were epithet-laced, pure fury.
"She made me wear underwear, go to the opera, go to church and wear black socks. She picked out my clothes. She read my emails. And all I wanted to do was watch football [and] drink beer," said a 42-year-old Arlington, Va., garbageman, who said the wounds were too fresh to give his name.
His friends egged him on as he wrote her name on a piece of paper and shredded it with a look of grim determination.
"I couldn't be myself," he said. "I don't want to get married. I don't want kids. I never want to have a booster seat in my car. I'm single, and I love it!"
A 31-year-old Maryland woman at the other end of the bar had discovered that her boyfriend of several years regularly cheated on her. "I feel great!" she said after shredding a note about him. "I'm over it!"
"Well, you're a work in progress," interjected a happily married friend.
James Alston, 28, of Alexandria, Va., couldn't decide whether to shred the name of his ex. He thought she was "The One." But after eight years together, she dumped him recently. His friends had written her name down and urged him to shred her, forget her and move on. But Alston wasn't ready.
"I'm 50-50 about shredding her," Alston said. "The past is the past, but we had good times, and that counts more. I believe in love, and if it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be. You can't pressure it."
As the night wore on, Alston was still undecided. The jilted 31-year-old woman with the cheating ex was busy answering a survey to find the perfect mate. The survey was designed by a man named Jeffrey who had shredded the ex who hadn't spoken to him in a year. The garbageman left the bar alone, and Patel and Jarrett were laughing and talking to a single man named Bill.
"He's from one of those K states," Jarrett said "Kentucky? Kansas?"
Patel smiled. "Maybe my soul mate isn't in Miami after all!"

Harper Government Introduces Stronger Health Warnings on Tanning Beds Français
Feb 24, 2013, 17:33 ET
OTTAWA, Feb. 24, 2013 /CNW/ - Today, the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health and MP James Bezan (Selkirk-Interlake, MB), announced that Health Canada intends to strengthen its health warnings about the dangers of tanning beds.
"The Harper Government is committed to protecting the health and safety of Canadian families," said Minister Aglukkaq. "Young adults should be concerned about the health risks associated with the use of tanning beds, including skin cancer. Today, we are proposing changes that would require all tanning beds to display a health warning label to remind Canadians of those risks."
According to the World Health Organization, the risk of developing skin melanoma increases by 75% when use of tanning beds starts before the age of 35.
The announcement follows the posting of proposed changes to the labelling requirements for tanning equipment under the Radiation Emitting Devices Regulations (RED) and a call for public comment on the proposal. The proposed changes would require all tanning beds to display a health warning decal with the following messages: "Not recommended for use by those under 18 years of age" "Tanning Equipment Can Cause Cancer", as well as a bulleted list of other health risks associated with tanning.
"My wife is a melanoma cancer survivor and both of us used tanning beds. That is why I am fighting one of the most deadly, but also most preventable cancers," said MP Bezan. "In the last two parliaments I tabled Bills C-497 and C-386 that pushed for stronger regulations on labelling and using tanning equipment. I urge all provinces to follow British Columbia's, Nova Scotia's and Quebec's lead by banning youth from using this dangerous equipment."
Health Canada regulates the sale, lease and import of tanning beds under the Radiation Emitting Devices Act and Regulations. However, the regulation of tanning bed use in commercial establishments, including age restrictions, falls under the jurisdiction of the provinces and territories. Eight of the 13 provinces/territories in the country currently either regulate, or have expressed an intention to regulate, access to tanning equipment by minors.
"Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, but it's also one of the most preventable," said Pamela Fralick, President and CEO of the Canadian Cancer Society. "The Canadian Cancer Society has called upon all levels of government for strict regulation of the indoor tanning industry. Stronger labelling and clearer information about the dangers of tanning beds may reduce the number of young Canadians exposed to this carcinogen, and this is an important step in the right direction."
The 75-day public comment period on Health Canada's draft proposal will be completed in early May 2013 and the proposed regulatory changes are expected to be posted to Canada Gazette, Part II later this year.

Health Warning Messages on Tanning Beds
The Minister of Health announced proposed changes to the Radiation Emitting Devices Regulations (RED) that would strengthen the labelling requirements and the health warning messages for tanning equipment.
The proposed changes to the RED regulations would require a health warning label be attached to all ultraviolet emitting tanning equipment that displays the following messages: "Not recommended for use by those under 18 years of age" and "Tanning Equipment Can Cause Cancer", as well as a bulleted list of other health risks associated with tanning.
Proposed labels : http://files.newswire.ca/1043/dangerE.pdf
The proposed labels would replace current tanning equipment warning labels, which display the statement "Ultraviolet radiation"
The World Health Organization reclassified tanning beds as cancer-causing, stating that the risk of developing skin melanoma increases by 75% when use of tanning beds starts before the age of 35. The risks are cumulative, meaning there is an escalating risk with total hours, sessions or years of tanning equipment use. Age of first use is also a factor: both an increased risk of developing melanoma and early onset of the disease have been linked with age at first use of tanning beds.
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in Canada, and melanoma is its deadliest form. While mortality rates have remained consistent in Canada, killing one in five diagnosed, incidence of melanoma has increased threefold between 1972 and 2006.
The proposed changes would align Health Canada's labelling requirements for tanning beds with emerging Provincial and Territorial regulations regarding the usage of tanning equipment.
Eight of the 13 provinces/territories in the country currently either regulate, or have expressed an intention to regulate, access to tanning equipment by minors and oversight of commercial tanning facilities:
- In May 2011 Nova Scotia's Tanning Beds Act came into effect, making it illegal to provide access to tanning equipment to anyone under age 19.
- Manitoba introduced informed parental consent requirements for those under 18, which came into force on June 15, 2012.
- British Columbia introduced new regulations banning minors (under 18) from accessing tanning beds in tanning facilities effective October 15, 2012.
- Most recently, Quebec banned the use of tanning beds for those under 18, which came into effect February 11, 2013.
- Other provinces and territories, including Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, and the Northwest Territories have either passed legislation that has yet to come into force or announced their intent to regulate the use of tanning equipment.
Health Canada advises Canadians that there is no such thing as a safe or healthy tan, whether under the sun or in a tanning bed.
The most up-to-date scientific evidence shows that exposure to ultraviolet A and B radiation can cause sunburn, damage to your eyes and other health effects, including an increased risk of skin cancer.
Health Canada advises Canadians to take steps to avoid overexposure to ultraviolet radiation.

But there are other individuals in our community who have a part in keeping it safe as well and these are community members. These community members Nampol coverts some to become neighbourhood watch members at their own discretion. Neighbourhood watch members and homeowners who are aware of their neighbourhood also play an important part in maintaining the security of our streets, together they work hard to protect our communities and alert the police of all criminal activities happening.

|Step 4: Who gets high blood pressure
Anyone can get high blood pressure, but some people are at greater risk than others. In most cases, a single reason cannot be identified. Some of the risk factors include:
Age and gender
In both men and women, the risk for high blood pressure increases as one gets older. In fact, over half of seniors have high blood pressure. More men than women have high blood pressure until age 55. As they get older, the risk for women becomes higher than the risk for men.
African-Americans are more likely to develop high blood pressure than any other ethnic group. In fact, the prevalence of high blood pressure among African-Americans is among the highest in the world. High blood pressure appears to be dangerously under-treated in this group -- contributing to higher rates of stroke, death from heart disease, and kidney disease.
Family history
High blood pressure may be inherited in many cases. Hypertension is about twice as common in people who have one or two parents with the problem.
Many people with high blood pressure are overweight. Even moderately overweight adults have double the risk of high blood pressure than people with normal weights. Children and adolescents who are overweight have an increased risk of getting high blood pressure by the time they reach adulthood.
Dietary salt is another key factor in high blood pressure. Reducing salt intake has helped control hypertension in some people.
Emotional disorders
People who are anxious or depressed may have greater risk for high blood pressure than those without these feelings. Studies confirm the association between stress and high blood pressure. Job stress and lack of career success seem linked to high blood pressure in both men and women.
Seasonal factors
Seasonal changes may influence variations in blood pressure, with high blood pressure increasing during cold months and declining during the summer, particularly in smokers. This may be because cold narrows blood vessels as a way to try to keep heat in the body. In addition, lack of light has also been associated with higher blood pressure.
