Notre Dame football: Kelly returning to his roots

Tony Pike still remembers the loose pact he made with former Carolina Panthers teammate Jimmy Clausen, and still intends to keep it.

They decided a couple of seasons ago, back when they both had a real chance to be Carolina?s pre-Cam Newton answer at quarterback, that they?d find a knothole in their schedule and take in a game at Notre Dame Stadium.

If it indeed happens this season, sometime after Saturday?s season-opener a continent away, Clausen would get his best glimpse at the man he could have played his senior season for, had the QB not decided to wade into the NFL Draft pool a year early.

Notre Dame head football coach Brian Kelly.

And Pike will see the man whose faith in him, whose tireless prodding, whose micromanagement of the quarterback position transformed the former University of Cincinnati QB from a high school prospect who didn?t even merit a one-star recruiting rating to a man who almost nudged the Bearcats into the 2009 national title game.

Pike won?t see the relative stranger that stalked the Irish sidelines in 2010 and ?11.

That?s by Kelly?s admission, though, much more than Pike?s.

Kelly steps into a defining third season at ND with a Bob Davie-esque 16-10 record and a pledge not to reinvent himself but to reach back into his past, to bring the best of who he used to be. And find the part of him that got lost in the step up into college football?s most glaring spotlight.

?Certainly finishing the way we finished, I think any coach, whether they come to the same conclusion I did or not, you're always going to take a step back and look, all right, what can we do better,? Kelly said referring to the 0-2 whimper at the end of last year?s 8-5 season.

?There was nothing wrong with our schemes. There was nothing wrong with what we were teaching them. What was wrong was we weren't winning games that I thought we should win, and so sometimes you've got to look at yourself.

?So I think the bottom line for me is that I wanted to be more involved in that process of making sure that I could help our players win, and that means you've got to push the distractions away and focus on why you're here, and that is I want to coach my guys.?

Just like he did at Cincinnati, at Central Michigan, at Grand Valley State when his star was rising.

?I think coach Kelly and I had a great relationship, and a lot of that is because he was so hands on,? said Pike, temporarily out of football as he rehabs from a second elbow surgery. ?I?ve been around coaches my whole life, where the head coach just kind of watches practice and head coaches spend more time on defense.

?But coach Kelly was at it every day on offense and he became almost a second personal quarterback coach, where he?d stop into meetings and handle that stuff as well.

?That?s where you saw how great coach Kelly could be as a coach, just his football mind in general is amazing, what he can pass down and what he picks up on in meetings.?

The journey starts in Aviva Stadium, in a city ? Dublin, Ireland ? that has a much better grip on the next non-soccer/rugby headliner to grace the facility, Lady Gaga on Sept. 15, than the perceived sideshow Navy and ND are about to put on.

But in some ways, it?s fitting, or at least poetic, that the back-to-his-roots movement starts in a country where Kelly?s great grandfather spent his whole life.

?He?s always been that out-of-the-box thinker,? new offensive coordinator Chuck Martin said of Kelly. ?He?s never been the one who couldn?t admit, ?Hey we need to do this better.? He?s never been the guy who says, ?We?re going to keep pounding the square peg in the round hole, because my record says that that?s the way it works.?

?There were going to be changes. How ever it played out, there were going to be changes. He?s got his puzzle pieces where he wants them now so that everything can push in the right direction.?

Japan July industrial output falls, warning signs grow

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's industrial output unexpectedly fell in July as a slowdown in exports to China and Europe led electronics and semiconductor markers to trim output in a troubling sign that Japan's broad economy is weakening.

The 1.2 percent decline in output in July compares with a median estimate for a 1.7 percent increase, according to a Reuters poll and follows a 0.4 percent gain in June.

In a further sign of trouble ahead, the purchasing managers index for August showed manufacturing activity languished at the lowest level since last year's earthquake as domestic and external demand suffer.

Manufacturers said they expect output to rise only modestly in August and then fall again in September, which could increase the chance that the economy will contract in the third quarter and pressure policymakers to bolster growth.

"Exports to China and the European Union have been decreasing, so electronics parts makers are cutting back on production to adjust inventories," said Seiji Adachi, senior economist at Deutsche Securities.

"Forecasts for August and September show that output is on a downtrend."

Manufacturers surveyed by the trade ministry expect output to rise 0.1 percent in August and then decrease 3.3 percent in September.

The Markit/JMMA Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) fell to a seasonally adjusted 47.7 in August from 47.9 in July. The index reached the lowest level since April 2011, one month after the earthquake struck Japan's northeast coast.

The core consumer price index (CPI), which includes oil products but excludes volatile prices of fresh fruit, vegetables and seafood, in July fell 0.3 percent from a year earlier, separate data showed. That matched the median estimate, showing that deflationary pressure remains persistent.

The so-called core-core inflation index, which excludes food and energy prices and is similar to the core index used in the United States, fell 0.6 percent in the year to July, data from the internal affairs ministry showed.

Japan's economy has so far outpaced growth of most G7 countries on solid private consumption and reconstruction spending.

But exports in July posted the sharpest annual drop in six months, in line with trends seen in other export-driven Asian economies, casting doubt on Japan's recovery prospects.

The Bank of Japan frets that the timing of a recovery may be delayed, but wants to hold off on easing monetary policy again -- after having acted in February and April -- unless risks heighten enough to kill any chance of a recovery.

Should the economy require more fiscal stimulus, the policy response could be delayed as the government is locked in a dispute with opposition parties over foreign policy.

Can You ?Clean? Your Computer Safely? | THE Tech Scoop

1x1.trans Can You Clean Your Computer Safely?

If you have a personal computer, you know that you need to run virus and spyware scans on a weekly basis in order to keep your computer ?clean.? Viruses, spyware, and malware can fester inside your computer, wreaking havoc behind the scenes. What you may not know is that some of the very programs that are meant to keep your computer clean can actually be infecting your machine. Before you install any computer cleaning software, it?s important that you know what you?re downloading. Here are five computer cleaning programs that are guaranteed to be both useful and safe:

1. nCleaner

If you are looking for a user-friendly, effective, free cleaner, then this is the one. nCleaner will clean your system, adjust your settings, and manage your computer?s startup. Rather than installing several programs to get the job done, this software does everything in one shot. This can be helpful, especially if you tend to forget to clean your computer on a weekly basis. Not only will nCleaner help you adjust your settings, but it will tell you what settings are recommended and let you tweak them from there.

2. AVG Free

AVG Free is probably the most popular free anti-virus software available today. Though the software only offers the most basic of protection, if you are smart with your web-browsing, it should be enough for the average user. If, on the other hand, your surfing habits leave something to be desired, you may need a piece of software that?s a bit more powerful. If you choose to download AVG Free, make sure that you check for updates at least once a month to be sure that you are receiving the full amount of protection that it offers.

3. Defraggler

If you know what defragging is, you should download this software. Defragging is essentially the act of removing unnecessary files and compressing the spaces in between to give you more room on your hard drive. While the Windows defragging tool is sufficient for most users, this software runs more quickly and allows you to choose which files you want to leave alone. The software is useful if you have files on your computer that you don?t want touched, like videos you have transcoded from the internet with a handbrake download, as the Windows defragging tool does not provide this option.

4. Ad-Aware

Ad-Aware is a great tool for removing malware from your system. The software has been around for years and consistently receives high reviews from users and IT professionals alike. When combined with Spybot-Search & Destroy, you?ve got a one-two punch when it comes to malicious software.

5. Spybot-Search & Destroy

This handy bit of software will find and remove spyware from your system that is compromising your computer?s performance. Every time you open your browser, you are at risk for downloading spyware that is attached to emails and websites. You can run Spybot once a week if you like, but running the tool every night before you shut down will ensure optimal system security and performance.

Before you download any cleaning software to your computer, you should know that you will never be solicited by a reputable company. If you get a pop-up telling you that your computer has been infected, and the notification is from a company that you?ve never heard of, close out of the window immediately. These pop-ups are malicious pieces of software designed to trick you into installing them on your system. If you are looking for a safe way to clean your computer, stick with the five free programs listed above.

NASA's Mars rover beams will.i.am song back to Earth (+video)

Broadcast from NASA's Curiosity rover, 'Reach for the Stars,' by rapper will.i.am, is the first human song ever played from Mars. ?

By Clara Moskowitz,?SPACE.com / August 28, 2012

Entertainer will.i.am speaks to students as he debuts a new song in honor of Curiosity rover at JPL, Pasadena, Calif., on Tuesday

The first song ever played from Mars was broadcast today (Aug. 28) from NASA's Curiosity rover on the Red Planet.

The concert represented the world premiere of the appropriately named song "Reach for the Stars," by rapper and songwriter will.i.am. It was beamed via radio signal about 150 million miles (241 million km) back to Earth from Curiosity's landing spot on Mars' Gale Crater at 1 p.m. PDT (4 p.m. EDT).

"The point of the song is to remind people ? that anything is possible if you discipline yourself and dedicate yourself and stand for something," the musician said today from Curiosity's mission control center at NASA's?Jet Propulsion Laboratory?(JPL) in Pasadena, Calif.

The music arrived there during an educational event held for students from the Los Angeles neighborhood where will.i.am grew up.

"There's no words to explain how amazing this is," will.i.am. said. "These kids here are from Boyle Heights, the same neighborhood I'm from. We don't have to just end up in the 'hood. But it's a hard thing. The hardest thing is discipline."

Students and rocket scientists alike bobbed their heads and clapped as the song's strains came back to Earth.

"Why do they say the sky is the limit
When I've seen footprints on the moon
And I know the sky may be high
But baby it ain't really that high
And I know that Mars might be far
But baby it ain't really that far
Let's reach for the stars"

Also onhand at the event was former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin, now the agency's associate administrator for education.

"Never give up," Melvin said. "People told me that I couldn't be an astronaut. Whatever you want to be, whatever you dream, you can do, if you put your mind to it."

The $2.5 billion Curiosity landed on Mars Aug. 5 (PDT) after launching in November of last year. The song was loaded onto the rover before its departure from Earth, and will.i.am, part of the hip-hop group The Black-Eyed Peas, was at JPL in person to?watch Curiosity land.

The car-size rover is embarking on a two-year mission to search for signs that the Red Planet may have ever been?habitable to microbial life.

In Arctic, Greenpeace picks new fight with old foe

This image made available by environmental organization Greenpeace shows Greenpeace activists chained to the anchor chain of the Anna Akhmatova, the vessel which was carrying Gazprom's workers to the Prirazlomnaya platform, in the Pechora Sea about 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the nearest port, Murmansk, a city on the extreme northwestern edge of the Russian mainland, Monday Aug. 27, 2012. Gazprom is pioneering Russia's oil drilling in the Arctic. The state-owned company installed the platform there last year and is preparing to drill the first well. Environmentalists have warned that drilling in the Russian Arctic could have disastrous consequences because of a lack of technology to deal with a possible spill in this remote region.

STOCKHOLM (AP) ? Global warming has ignited a rush to exploit Arctic resources ? and Greenpeace is determined to thwart that stampede.

Employing the same daredevil tactics it has used against nuclear testing or commercial whaling, the environmental group is now dead-set on preventing oil companies from profiting from global warming by drilling for oil near the Arctic's shrinking ice cap.

The campaign took off in May 2010, when oil was still gushing from a ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico. At the time, Greenpeace was startled by reports that a small Scottish energy firm was proceeding with plans to drill for oil and gas in iceberg-laden waters off western Greenland.

"It felt slightly surreal," recalled Ben Ayliffe, now the head of Greenpeace's campaign against oil drilling the Arctic. "After what happened in the Gulf of Mexico, how can anyone respond to that by going to drill in similar depths in a place called Iceberg Alley?"

Greenpeace quickly arranged to get a ship to Greenland, where four activists attached themselves to a drilling rig for two days until a storm forced them to abandon the protest.

That stunt, a similar one in 2011 off Greenland and protests this month at an oil rig off northwest Russia are at the core of what Greenpeace calls "one of the defining environmental battles of our age."

"Polar work feels like it's going back to the early campaigns: simple message, people get it and the lines are very clearly drawn," Ayliffe said.

From a publicity standpoint, the campaign has been successful: Greenpeace officials say since June, 1.6 million people have signed the group's online petition urging world leaders to declare the Arctic a global sanctuary, off limits to oil exploration and industrial fishing. Dozens of celebrities, including Robert Redford, Paul McCartney and Penelope Cruz have announced their support, according to Greenpeace activist Sarah North.

"I have never experienced engaging famous people at this kind of rate and with such ease in a campaign issue," said North, a 15-year veteran at Greenpeace.

The impact on the oil industry, however, is unclear. The Arctic is believed to hold up to a quarter of the world's undiscovered oil and gas reserves. Despite difficult operating conditions and high costs, the payback for Shell, Gazprom, Statoil and other companies searching for commercial quantities of hydrocarbons could be huge.

"It probably sounds a bit cynical, but if they invest billions of dollars it's not likely they will give it up just because somebody is attacking their oil rig," said Mikhail Babenko, an oil and gas expert at the World Wildlife Fund's Global Arctic Program.

Unlike Greenpeace, WWF isn't seeking a complete ban on drilling in the Arctic but wants to make sure the most vulnerable areas are protected.

"We want to be part of this discussion," Babenko said. "We don't want to stimulate oil and gas development, but if we follow (Greenpeace's) approach we will be simply out of the game."

Greenpeace and other environmental groups say an oil spill in the Arctic could cause irreparable damage to wildlife and marine ecosystems.

Fears that the oil industry is ill-prepared to operate in the hostile conditions of the high north were reinforced last December when a floating oil rig capsized off eastern Russia, killing more than 50 workers. While that accident happened outside the Arctic region, it underscored the challenges of drilling further north, where ice ridges are meters (yards) deep and storms are frequent.

Oil industry officials say they are taking the necessary precautions to conduct safe operations in the Arctic.

Cairn Energy, the Scottish company whose platforms off Greenland were targeted by Greenpeace protests in 2010 and 2011, isn't drilling there this year. By all accounts, that has nothing to do with Greenpeace but to the fact that the initial drilling was unsuccessful.

Asked what, if any, impact the Greenpeace actions had on the company's future plans for Greenland, Cairn spokeswoman Linda Bain referred to its second-quarter report, which doesn't say anything about Greenpeace.

Shell, which has also come into Greenpeace's cross-hairs for plans to drill off Alaska, also refused to discuss the group. Still, there's no doubt that Shell takes Greenpeace's Arctic campaign seriously.

In March, Shell won an injunction by a U.S. judge ordering Greenpeace to stay 1 kilometer (.6 miles) away from its drilling rigs in U.S. territorial waters.

A month earlier, New Zealand actress Lucy Lawless of the TV series "Xena: Warrior Princess" and six other Greenpeace activists had climbed aboard one of the drilling rigs before it left for Alaska. They later pleaded guilty to trespass charges and are awaiting sentencing.

Greenpeace activists also climbed aboard icebreakers contracted by Shell as they left the Baltic Sea. And the Greenpeace ship "Esperanza" is now shadowing Shell's drilling vessels as they head north to bore exploratory wells in Alaska's Chukchi and Beaufort Seas.

"We will follow the oil industry into the Arctic," Ayliffe said. "This is such an important campaign. We're not going to let them off the hook that easily."

Founded in 1971, Greenpeace initially focused on nuclear testing. Its first Rainbow Warrior ship was sunk in New Zealand's Auckland harbor before it set out to protest French nuclear testing at Muroroa Atoll. Greenpeace photographer Fernando Pereira drowned.

The group claims its actions helped bring about the nuclear test ban treaty as well as a ban on dumping toxic chemicals into the ocean. It also takes credit for forcing Apple and other major companies to become more ecologically responsible.

In the 1990s, Greenpeace campaigned for years to persuade oil companies to bring disused offshore installations to land for recycling, instead of dumping them in the ocean.

The Arctic campaign is part of the group's overarching focus on climate change.

On Friday, six Greenpeace activists, including executive director Kumi Naidoo, spent several hours hanging off the side of the Prirazlomnaya platform in Russia's Pechora Sea, attached to the rig's mooring lines. Three days later, more than a dozen activists intercepted a ship carrying Russian oil workers to the platform and chained themselves to its anchor.

While Greenpeace is sometimes accused of being "alarmist," environment and climate activists in general applaud the group for calling attention to global warming issues. Their activities don't always resonate well, however, with some of the indigenous communities in the Arctic.

The Inuit seal hunters of Greenland, for example, blame Greenpeace campaigns against seal hunting for nearly wiping out the demand for seal skins, a key part of their income.

Ove Karl Berthelsen, Greenland's minister for oil and minerals, said he was skeptical of Greenpeace's claims to be acting in defense of indigenous communities.

"People here see through it," Berthelsen said. "Their star is not very high up here."

Mild-mannered Samsung Galaxy S II update brings Isis mobile payment support


Mobile payments, those made from a phone and typically via NFC, haven't exactly had a huge impact on the average American consumer just yet, but look past that and you'll see a battle is brewing. Google had been making the most noise, with its Google Wallet, but today the competing service Isis just launched its first proper salvo. The T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S II is currently receiving an OTA update (T989UVLH1) that, among a few other tweaks, enables support for Isis NFC payments, making it the first such device on the market. Many more are inbound from AT&T and Verizon as well, setting the stage for an epic virtual currency battle that only the peaceniks at the Mobile Payments Committee stand a chance of mitigating.

Learning To Be a Mom: Toddler Family Home Evening Idea

A couple weeks ago I posted about how our family is trying to be more consistent at having one night a week where we spend time together in a family home evening. For our family home evening we sing, play and teach. Recently I started wondering how much we are teaching Sweet Girl about Jesus. Even though she is still very small, I think it is important for her to start learning about Jesus and how important he is.

To start teaching her we played a game called "Jesus Looks Like Me." I printed off pictures of different body parts and put them into a box. Sweet Girl pulled them out one at a time. First she pulled out the picture of the eyes. I asked her where her eyes are, then I held up a picture of Jesus and asked her where Jesus' eyes are. At then end for our activity we sang the song "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes."

These evenings have been a lot of fun so far. We spend a lot of time together as a family, but these evenings are special. It gives us a chance to remove all other distractions and focus on our family. It is also the perfect setting for teaching Sweet Girl all sorts of important things. Plus we have fun and eat treats. What's not to love?

The Nervous Breakdown of the GOP

Martin Amis looks at the 2012 presidential election and sees a Republican Party powered by money and a far-right agenda. And the British author predicts that the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan ticket will ultimately fail, because the GOP is now so conservative that Ronald Reagan would be an outcast in the party.

Now living in Brooklyn, Amis is watching the campaign closely. He tells Slate?s Jacob Weisberg that he sees a ?disastrous lack of empathy? in Mitt Romney, and he thinks Americans ought to be leery of Romney?s Mormon faith, too.

Pierre Cardin offering glass skyscraper to Venice

MILAN (AP) ? French fashion designer Pierre Cardin has designed a gift meant as an economic catalyst to Venice and the region: a 250-meter (800-foot)-tall modernist glass skyscraper housing a fashion university, luxury hotel suites and shops.

But rather than unbridled enthusiasm, the proposed ?2.4-billion ($3 billion) project has been met with everything from healthy skepticism to open ridicule.

The "Palace of Light" has been described alternatively as a spaceship that crashed into the lagoon, a shiny fishing lure or an illuminated mushroom.

"It is seen with interest, but at the same time with open perplexity," said Claudio Borghello, a Venice city councilman. "There is not a skyscraper of this dimension in all of (the) Veneto (region), forget right on the lagoon." At the same time, "this could become a symbol that you can relaunch this part of the world."

Cardin, who turned 90 in July, designed his "Palais Lumiere" as a gift to his native Veneto, the region that includes Venice. While Cardin epitomizes French style, he is actually Italian-born: Pietro Cardin, trundled off from San Biagio di Callalta, north of Venice, by his parents to France at age 2.

Three interconnecting towers would be built at the industrial port of Marghera, an area in economic decline some 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Venice's landmark St. Mark's Square. Under the proposal, Cardin would clean up pollutants from the land, invest ?1.4 billion ($1.75 billion) himself and endow the fashion university, said Cardin's nephew, Rodrigo Basilicati, who has been pushing the project through the bureaucracy.

Plans envision 2,500 to 3,000 jobs on site created during construction, and another 2,000 to 2,500 after completion.

While welcoming the prospects of an environmental cleanup and new jobs, critics are concerned about overall impact on the fragile lagoon environment and a city already overwhelmed by mass tourism ? as well as visual pollution from the tower itself, which some complain has no relationship with the city's Byzantine architecture.

Architect Vittorio Gregotti urged Cardin: "If you want to do something for Venice, do something else." Italia Nostra, a preservation group, said the skyscraper, at three times the height of St. Mark's "would squash the city's proportions," and referred to the structure itself as a "giant illuminated mushroom."

To help persuade Venetians that the criticism is overstated, Cardin is opening an exhibit on the project in Marghera on Monday on the sidelines of the Venice Biennale of architecture, which opens Wednesday.

Basilicati said his uncle knew the project would be "a provocation." But the stylist wasn't quite ready for the intensity of the criticism.

"Let's say the reaction to the aesthetics he understands, even if it doesn't make him happy," Basilicati said. "On the other hand, the objections about the skyline and the environmental impact have disappointed him, using lies."

The towers, he insists, won't be visible at all from Venice's historic center, and only barely seen from the Lido island.

Italy's air traffic authority is expected to say within days if the tower's height interferes with local air traffic. After that, a committee of local authorities will convene in an effort to streamline final approvals, which could pave the way for construction to begin early next year.

"In an industrial zone like Port Marghera, which is not protected by UNESCO, I think this is only an improvement," Basilicati said

SPIEGEL: Germany's Merkel Wants An EU ... - Business Insider

BERLIN (AP) ? German media report that Chancellor Angela Merkel's government wants a new treaty aimed at deepening political integration among the European Union's 27 members.

Respected news weekly Der Spiegel reported on its website late Saturday that German diplomats have indicated Merkel wants European leaders to start work on the treaty at a summit in December.

Merkel's office didn't immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday.

Der Spiegel says the treaty could include provisions such as giving the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg power to monitor the budgets of member states and punish those who exceed deficit limits.

Merkel has repeatedly said closer political integration is needed to balance the deepening economic integration of EU member states resulting from measures to solve the eurozone crisis.

Taiwan braces for return of Typhoon Tembin

Taiwan warned Sunday that Typhoon Tembin was likely to return as people struggled to clear mud-filled homes after the storm pounded the south of the island with the heaviest rains in more than a century.

The storm appeared to be heading back towards Pingtung county where people were still reeling from the flooding sparked by Tembin when it swept across the southern tip of the island Friday.

Tembin weakened to a tropical storm after moving out to sea the same day but the Central Weather Bureau said it had intensified into a typhoon again Sunday.

"Tembin regained strength and became a typhoon again early this morning. It was moving east-southeasterly," the bureau said.

Although the typhoon was still hundreds of kilometres (miles) from the island, the bureau predicted downpours in the south and southeast and called on people there to take precautions.

On its current track, Tembin was forecast to make landfall again in Pingtung and move northward off the east coast.

The storm's unusual movement was largely affected by Typhoon Bolaven, which was gaining momentum and churning towards southern Japan and predicted to hit Okinawa. Bolaven was about 800 kilometres (500 miles) east of Taiwan.

Tembin, which forced more than 8,000 people to evacuate their homes islandwide, unleashed torrential rain in Pingtung county that was described as the worst in more than a century.

Weather bureau data indicated Pingtung as a whole received 724 millimetres (29 inches) of rain since Wednesday, while the township of Hengchun saw more than 600 millimetres of rainfall on Friday alone.

Television images Sunday showed soldiers helping people remove thick mud from their homes in the flooded area.

As of 0330 GMT, Typhoon Tembin was around 400 kilometres southwest of the main southern city of Kaohsiung. With a radius of 180 kilometres, the typhoon was packing gusts of up to 119 kilometres per hour and moving east-southeast at eight kph.

PLEASANTON, Calif. - Zeltiq Aesthetics Inc., which makes a body fat sculpting system, said Friday that it named Mark Foley as its president and chief executive, effective immediately.

Zeltiq's CoolSculpting system is designed to reduce bulges of fat that don't go away with diet or exercise, by using extreme cold to kill fat cells.

Zeltiq shares slipped 14 cents to $4.93 in morning trading.

Travel Insurance | The Financial & Insurance Tips Journal.

It?s a tedious necessity when you are traveling overseas ? travel insurance covers such things as a delayed or canceled trip, death or illness, lost baggage, and emergency medical assistance. You can obtain travel insurance through your cruise line, travel agent, airline or tour company ? but always check that you actually need it. Most credit cards include some kind of basic travel or trip cancellation insurance.

It can be difficult determining how much insurance you need. Apart from your actual destination and the length of your trip, there are policies aimed at families, groups and so-called multi trip insurance. Family plans provide coverage for families traveling together and are often less expensive ? family may include extended family such as grandparents, cousins and various in-laws.

There are also different levels of coverage when it comes to travel insurance ? primary coverage and secondary coverage. If you take out primary coverage, the insurance company will pay up before any other insurance that you may have takes effect; if you have secondary insurance they will only pay when you have collected from any other options available to you.

If you travel overseas frequently during the year ? whether on business or vacation ? it may be easier and less expensive to take out what the travel industry calls multi-trip travel insurance. In addition to being less expensive, this type of insurance cuts down on time-consuming paperwork and forms -?you generally have to supply the information only once.

Multi trip plans usually cover all trips that take place within a calendar year, or a year from the date that the policy began. There may be a maximum number of trips that are covered; there may also be a maximum length of stay allowed on each trip ? this could be anything from a few days to a few months. Make sure that your policy includes such things as trip cancellation, lost or delayed luggage and medical evacuation.

The cost of your travel insurance may be higher if you participate in dangerous and risky sports ? diving, skiing, mountaineering and kayaking for example. And if you travel to certain destinations that are considered unsafe by the US Department of State ? Iran, Pakistan and Haiti, for example ? you will pay more for travel insurance.

Take some time to find the right travel insurance policy for you ? but at the same time, don?t pay more than you need to since you most likely have spent a lot of time and likely a lot of money in planning the perfect holiday travel. By adding simple and affordable holiday travel insurance to your plans, you can protect yourself and your trip should your plans go awry.

Holiday travel plans can be derailed for any number of reasons. It is nearly impossible to anticipate when things will go wrong, so it is wise to look into obtaining holiday travel insurance every time you plan a trip. Holiday travel insurance covers nearly every scenario and insures that although you may be unable to follow the itinerary you have booked, you will be able to either reschedule or obtain a refund of what you have already paid.

You can compare holiday insurance easily, whether you are in the process of making your holiday travel plans now or if your plans have already been finalized. For just a small cost, you can give yourself the peace of mind of knowing that your hard-earned money will not be lost no matter what happens. The cost of adding holiday travel insurance to your trip?s itinerary is often less expensive than just a few of the meals you will consumer on that trip. At such an affordable level, it makes no sense not to protect yourself.

The cancellation of your holiday travel plans can occur because of illness, death, unforeseen work or family situations, or virtually any other kind of event that can derail your life. But you also need to consider that holiday travel plans can also be derailed because the companies you have booked with are unable to fulfill your itinerary for any variety of reasons. In those circumstances where substitutions cannot be made or postponements are not available, holiday travel insurance will allow you to regain your deposited money.

Events completely out of your control and out of the control of your chosen travel vendors can also lead to the cancellation of your plans. Depending on the area of the world to which you plan to travel, weather concerns or occurrences can make your trip impossible. If there are areas of instability close to or en route to where you will travel, they can also derail your plans.

Whenever you book travel, always compare holiday insurance as a necessary component of your plans. Like other forms of insurance, you may never need to use it, but knowing that it is available will make working on your travel plans and looking forward to your holiday far more pleasant.

Historian examines animals' role in westward expansion

ScienceDaily (Aug. 21, 2012) ? The story of westward expansion in the United States is often told from the perspective of the men and women who crossed the Great Plains in search of a better life in the west. But a historian at Missouri University of Science and Technology is bringing to light the role settlers' animals played in the westward migration of the mid-1800s.

Dr. Diana L. Ahmad, an associate professor of history at Missouri S&T, discusses the relationship between pioneers and their stock -- mainly oxen, mules, horses and cattle -- in an essay published in the summer 2012 issue of the Great Plains Quarterly. She notes that the westward travelers' success depended greatly on their interactions with the animals.

"Domestic animals successfully brought thousands of emigrants to Utah, California, and Oregon," Ahmad writes in her essay, "'I Fear the Consequences to Our Animals': Emigrants and Their Livestock on the Overland Trails." As a result, "emigrants on overland trails forged new relationships with the domestic animals that accompanied them."

Between 1840 and 1860, some 300,000 people emigrated to California, Oregon and Utah. Many were in search of gold, new farmland or religious freedom. The westward travelers learned how to care for their livestock, barter for fresh animals and perform veterinary procedures, Ahmad writes. They also left behind a wealth of written materials Ahmad has mined for insights into how the emigrants interacted with their beasts.

Ahmad, who specializes in the history of the American West, reviewed numerous diaries, letters and guidebooks written by these emigrants. "Their writings add to the knowledge not only of the rigors and challenges along the overland trails but also of how the emigrants manifested a new relationship with their livestock," she writes.

The authors of these writings "wrote about their experiences ? in a style that was meant to be read by others," Ahmad says. "They understood the significance of their undertaking, that their journey was history making. They also wrote about the livestock that accompanied them, often in great detail and with emotion."

Those writings were sent back east and "became valuable tools for future emigrants," Ahmad writes. Excerpts were republished in newspapers and publishers produced guidebooks for future settlers. But prospective settlers viewed information passed along from family members and friends as more credible than the guidebooks or other published materials, Ahmad notes.

The significance of animals in history has been largely overlooked until recent years, Ahmad says. Much of the scholarly work over the past 40 years has focused on the role of animals during the British colonial era in North America. Ahmad is one of the few examining the role of animals during the westward expansion of the mid-1800s. She is working on a book on the topic.

"Emigrants developed techniques to deal with the creatures because, in most cases, they had no alternative but to learn to work with the situations they encountered," Ahmad writes. "They also developed a companionship with the animals that likely surprised even the emigrants. ? They learned that their success depended in large measure on the treatment of their animal traveling companions."

Colon suspended 50 games

Melky Cabrera has company.

MLB just announced that A?s right-hander and former Cy Young winner Bartolo Colon has been suspended 50 games after testing positive for testosterone.

Last week Cabrera was suspended for 50 games following a positive test for testosterone in the middle of a career-best season in which he hit .346 with a .906 OPS and won All-Star game MVP honors.

Colon hasn?t had quite that type of impact, but he?s been plenty solid for Oakland on a one-year, $2 million contract with a 3.43 ERA and 91/23 K/BB ratio in 152 innings spread over 24 starts. And now at age 39 it?s safe to wonder if he?s thrown his last pitch in the big leagues.

MLB previously investigated the stem-cell treatment that Colon received two years ago for his elbow in an effort to make it back to the majors after not pitching at all in 2010. He was successful in his comeback and MLB cleared him of any potential performance enhancing-drug violations.

It?s a tough blow for the A?s in the AL West and Wild Card races, but with Brett Anderson looking good in his return from Tommy John surgery last night and Dan Straily waiting in the wings at Triple-A their rotation depth is strong.

UPDATE: Colon won?t be appealing and admitted his guilt via an official statement: ?I apologize to the fans, to my teammates and to the Oakland A?s. I accept responsibility for my actions.?

Many folks say this because they don?t understand about how love really works.? In the beginning we meet some one and there is something about them and we fall in love with them. We believe from movies, books, television that love is something you feel and that?s how it works;? we have that ?loving feeling?.
