Big East Adding Boise State, San Diego State, Central Florida And SMU: SOURCE

2011-12-07T06:10:00.000-08:00

New York - Big East has come with more built long-awaited additions.

The conference will be prepared for the addition of Boise State and San Diego State football members of the advertising and Houston, Central Florida and SMU all sports, on Wednesday, said a person familiar with the situation of freedom of the press. The five schools that participated in 2013.

The person on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the details of working with schools and plans for the termination.

Try 12 Big East Conference school Football, Syracuse and Pittsburgh have announced that the construction to go to ACC, and announced that West Virginia would leave for the 12th Grand TCU is not a commitment to the closure of the Great Eastern and place "invitation of Major 12th

The Star-Ledger in New Jersey, reported the first time in the Big East is about to make additions.

The Big East, and all Navy and Air, the only member of the football, but not willing to commit military academies at the conference, the person said.

Although the Big East until the end, it is always very competitive in the flood.

Commissioner John Mari Natto promised Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia to the rights and schools to compete Big East, and two more for the place Voetbalseizoen. Syracuse, Brad Pitt and the CAC they move as quickly as possible, but not against the rules of the Big East.

West Virginia is. The school is located on the Big East and Big 12 to request that in 2012. The Big 12 needs of Missouri in place next year in the South responsible for the 10 Member States are required to meet the needs of television contracts to follow.

"I think John Mari natto is only a significant increase only for its actions," said coach Rick Pitino Louis. "The Boise State, Houston, SMU. I think it is their commissioner backs against the wall, I've seen since I athletics. The teams that you have a very good football team that loses. "

The Big East is a difficult situation. Next season, the requirements of the assignment and use of negotiations on a new TV in 2012 to comply.

Houston, SMU-and-play compatibility with the U.S. Conference and Competition in the registratiefase school next year. Boise State to participate in his first season as a member of the Mountain West Conference, San Diego State as well.

CBSSports.com announced Boise State, other team sports is happening in Western Athletic Conference of the Alliance links to the previous season, and San Diego State on the other teams in the Big West.

Boise State would find millions of dollars of lucrative San Diego State in the Big East in 2012 and 2013.

Therefore, the Big East sickly on the road for the next season with three teams. Even with these additions to come, but the 12 teams entered the championship in 2013.

The Big East is the end of the two divisions of six teams and able to do a conference championship game action.

The plan is that Boise State, San Diego State, Houston, SMU and possibly a member of Louisville in the Midwest Division. Eastern Division, the members present, South Florida, Rutgers, Connecticut and Cincinnati, and compatibility.

The Big East is looking forward to the force and the navy in the west to the east. But now it's still the plan.

A Boise State and other schools are willing to invest in connecting because of increased foreign exchange earnings are expected to participate geographical television and access to the Bowl Championship Series and the costs of expansion.

BYU called the Big East as the Western partner for Boise State, but if the carpet as if to BYU TV rights holder is the production in the San Diego State to take.

San Diego is 3.067 miles from Big East office in Providence, RI

The game Big East, which for years has prospered as one of the best basketbalcompetitie the country, the eight football schools in the series: Providence, St. John's, Georgetown, Marquette, DePaul, Notre Dame, Seton Hall and Villanova.

"The Big East, the leading all conferences in basketball, of course, the amount offered," said Pitino. "Now you have more than basketball? No, you're not Syracuse and Pittsburgh, so hopefully they will get the stamp sets or basketball in Memphis."

Xbox Live is the first big step to true video convergence

2011-12-07T05:56:00.000-08:00

Microsoft updates the Xbox Live platform launched Tuesday to give a lot of new material to their users. Although many new materials by the suppliers of cable and IPTV television networks, the importance of the most current online and pay TV content mix, and the ability to see the other side of the surface.

EPIX, new applications, ESPN, Hulu Plus, Netflix and NBC Today, Tuesday the United States and abroad, Love Film (United Kingdom), Mediaset Premium is a game (Italy), Telefonica Movistar Imagenio on ( Spain), and Sky Go (Austria and Germany to begin with). Meanwhile, the software will be available in Japan, Hulu and Netflix began in Canada.

Later, in December, is played by the Americans apps Crackle, Dailymotion iheartradio, MSN, MSNBC, TMZ treat !!!!! Verizon FiOS, Vevo, Vudu and YouTube. CinemaNow wants, HBO and Comcast XFINITY Go MLB.tv in the early settlement of claims in 2012. International users, in December Xbox wide range of topics, including 4 on-demand application and five in the UK, Canal + and + the room in Spain GolTV and Rogers UFC on Demand and Canada. Access to YouTube is MLB.tv in various international markets. (A full list is available here.)

Yes, Microsoft only support streaming player and makes the content of the traditional world of television and move. But this is not the mixture is interesting is that the equipment available, but the same search interface.

Manufacturers of consumer electronics like Samsung and Sony also launched programs to keep Comcast, Time Warner Cable to develop, HBO and other content partners. But so far, it seems that most implementations based on experience silo. In other words, you are on the App Store is the APP Samsung to watch HBO on the lookout for a show, open to retirement, Comcast, the application to see another show, etc. He ' there is no good method for the surfaces of various materials suppliers.

Built-in version of Xbox Live, which is unified search engine powered by Bing. When a user searches for a movie like Iron Man, he or she has seen some of the services of the situation - be it the Epix app, Netflix application, or a pay-per-view programs such as Microsoft Zune Marketplace or Vudu. This will help users get a lot of content that they are not without worrying about what would be the actual performance observed.

We are great supporters of the need for better discovery mechanisms for video, such as the number of tracks and also to continue to increase the number of suppliers. There are some companies that try to take on this problem so far: TiVo agreed that the research followed by a hearing live TV and video on demand services from a single search mechanism. Google TV is also a similar feature, with a journey through the world TV VOD and online services such as Netflix and Hulu Plus.

But the new Xbox Dashboard from the discovery of service issue was first in the scale - available both for its large installed base of 35 million subscribers to Xbox Live, and more than 40 content partners from using the Service. Currently, only one drawback, and we hope the numbers Xbox: For now, the limit of the full search limit Bing, premium content - television shows and movies almost exclusively. So this is the content from Netflix and Verizon see side by side, it's always nice to be able to find a snail, and other new programs on TV episodes from Hulu More on YouTube.

Blagojevich Sentencing Hearing Begins, Prosecutors Want Ex-Governor To Get 15 To 20 Years

2011-12-07T05:24:00.000-08:00

Chicago - After all the requirements of innocence and the face looks years in prison, leaving Rod Blagojevich lawyers agree that, to avoid for so long - it was in fact guilty of public corruption.

The former governor of Illinois to take a chance on the same Wednesday, when the judge decide his sentence, calls to make.

Judge James Zagel said Tuesday he was willing to make a secure prison, said he thinks Blagojevich lied, like him, he never judges sell or trade an appointment to the seat of President Barack Obama Senate for campaign money or evacuation, said the work top.

During the first days of his sentence imposed two days of hearings, the executive accused of reality TV star known for his personality turned dark and funny look easy with low to the ground. Sobbed his wife when his daughter a letter from Blagojevich Zagel begging to be sent to prison.

The contrast Skrill hear the circus atmosphere surrounding the experiments on various charges of corruption Blagojevich.

The friendly tone to come as a surprise - just days after the defense there as often vylsels, Blagojevich has proposed to declare the innocence, he was deceived followers, but there are a few lines burning illegally.

Attorney Sheldon Sorosky told Zagel was illegal to ask for Blagojevich in exchange for him finding a job to name Obama's replacement in the Senate.

"There is no doubt that it is a crime, for the Senate seat, we accept that," he said. "I'm not but mention the 15 - to 20-year sentence strain" the prosecutor requested date.

Sorosky made the same argument when he spoke to Blagojevich convicted of crimes other: Shake a racetrack executive and hospital management, and the FBI.

At the hearing Tuesday, small hands and Blagojevich pulls nervously at his fingers, sometimes pousering sucking a plastic bottle of Cherry Coke. Experts believe, repent Blagojevich must agree to talk for her performance in the processing of court Wednesday.

Zagel, with whom he was told a verdict on Tuesday said Wednesday morning during the interrogation, it is clear that the boss Blagojevich convicted arrangements and that he had lied about his appearance on the bench of witnesses. The court does not seem to believe that the proposal to the defender, that Blagojevich has been deceived by supporters and advisers.

"It's probably a voice that was a challenge," Zagel told Blagojevich that his views on telephone conversations secret by the FBI. "Management has clearly demonstrated the behavior."

And performance stand harsh attack witnesses Blagojevich, Zagel said the former governor was lying when he said that the state appointed attorney general plans to the office of Barack Obama in a political agreement by law.

"I think it is wrong," he told Zagel. "I thought it would be wrong when he says, and it is not true, I do not think so."

Defender Aaron Goldstein asked the judge not to impose long sentences - not for Blagojevich, but for those of his family. Done in minutes emotionally for the procedure before the day, Blagojevich said Goldstein lock for a long time, his wife and two daughters to be destroyed.

If Goldstein read a letter to the eldest daughter of the court Blagojevich, 15, Amy, a former governor was suddenly struggling to provide a quiet, pen vroetel, biting a lip to get. A lawyer knocks gently rotate the shoulder.

Amy wrote that his father this need in their lives - school to school, and if the heart is broken. In another letter asked Ms. Patti Blagojevich, Zagel "Please have mercy on you" and told to see the ultimate fear of her husband, her daughters grow up.

So busy Goldstein Zagel said Blagojevich when he describes as a father. Patti Blagojevich started crying, tears streaming down her cheeks, then pat his face with blood red SNES. He made his eyes tightly, said with tears streaming down her cheeks as the cassette Goldstein called spiders Blagojevich youngest daughter, now 8 and a loud childish "Hey Annie"

The second defender told the court that Illinois political history of corruption charges against Blagojevich. Carolyn Gurland said it would be unfair to condemn Blagojevich sent strawwer Zagel Illinois politicians, including former government. George Ryan, and U. S. representatives. Dan Rostkowski in prison for corruption.

"The law is clear that he is punished for corruption in the history of Illinois is not," she said.

If Blagojevich is 15 to 20 years in prison, she said he would be punished most officials in the history of the state.

State law says that two elected governor is not alone responsible for his crimes, but was repeatedly expressed a long-nosed American power. Blagojevich lawyers say, has already make an award in the public ridicule and financial ruin to pay, and set a deadline of a few years.

Gurland also argued that Zagel consider the fact that Blagojevich is "their first single" unlawfully obtained profits, unlike other politicians convicted of public corruption.

"Rod Blagojevich will", she said, adding that Blagojevich to do what politicians looking for campaign contributions, not "cash in envelopes."

Blagojevich and his wife know that they sat up to make a reality TV-show presentation, she said, but they are making arrangements for their children. Blagojevich will show "Celebrity Apprentice" where he finds gesukkel to mobile phone use, and his wife eats a tarantula on the reality show "Celebrity ... Get Me I'm here!"

Impose the penalty Blagojevich comes just days before his birthday, 55 years and three years on the week of December 9, 2008 to take hegtenis. The jury is stalled in his first interrogation, once one of the 24 points - the Blagojevich lied to FBI. Jury found him guilty on 17 of Lede herverhoor 20 charges including corruption.

Among the participants at the hearing that more than a dozen judges Blagojevich Tuesday on two tests, the two men.

After the sentence is likely Zagel Blagojevich weeks before he must report to prison. It is worth of man on FBI wiretaps of current employment at low pay six figures is that prison is - maybe scrub toilets - only 12 cents per hour.

Or are they?

According to anonymous sources within the organization of Texans, the main manager Rick Smith has already established one quarter could see playing time already tilted in next week against the Atlanta Falcons.

Star-gap
In a motion signed by the good old days of the NFL, the former Denver Broncos quarterback and current head coach Gary Kubiak, Texans Texans remember one year contract for league minimum. Rick Smith was particularly impressed by a recent hire.

"It's really not much to our problems," said Rick Smith said: "We are free agents would love Brett Favre, but the film strip instructive taught me the dangers of signing him take a hit look at Jeff Garcia, but we could not 't stop laughing for 20 minutes, then we have also named Chad Pennington, but when he grabbed the phone, we heard dislocated shoulder, but stick to the listener's ear. In addition, although we would like to connect one piece to the salary cap is. work "

Kubiak, 50, the first player, coach, Denver Broncos Friends angle Jimmy Spencer title in 2003, and only the second since Dan Reeves in 1971.

"It's like a natural to happen," the player-coach, Kubiak said, "I used to be a quarterback in the NFL, and I know the system already, I can play five spent currently displayed and third -. 14 and any other quarterback on the list. "

Kurt Busch, Penske Racing Split After Six Seasons

2011-12-06T07:31:00.000-08:00

Charlotte, NC - Kurt Busch and Penske Racing split Monday after six seasons of the hammer, the clouds, the split ahead of former NASCAR champion, as he begins a personal journey back to his passion for racing.

Both the employee and the manager said that the end of the relationship was mutually agreed, "but I think it was the most free from the effects of bush painful incident. A fan captured video journalist Busch abuse of ESPN in the last month sentenced the final NASCAR Busch and $ 50,000 was posted the clip on YouTube.

Busch, however, goes left, Penske is probably the best thing for him personally and was interviewed by the press alone.

"What is hard, the letter of five words" fired "is used, but it is clear to me that look, I was very pleased with the second half of the season," Busch told the AP.

"I am pleased to begin again in the race for me, I want the person becoming better managers. Today is the day. I took a deep breath, I smile and I move from here."

Busch had last week with activities relating to the award season ends he sought geleentheid sielkundige in sports to talk about two months ago, he called his "personal problems".

Known for his intense and embarrassing collapse in a communication from the race team for the 2011 season racing has been particularly cruel to Busch.

Although he won two races and the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, is an epic tantrum on the radio in the car at Richmond in May, setting the tone for the season. He quarrels rivals Jimmie Johnson and gesukkel open their ability to compete with Johnson while keeping in perspective.

Busch also has at least three members of the public fueled by media close to Steve Addington, crew chief of the second in three years, and it is immediate and the road to Penske teammate Brad Keselowski. He was also delighted with the public interest in their pending divorce and new relationships with Patricia Driscoll, director of the charity the National Armed Forces Foundation.

Behavior contributes to the button-up Penske, Roush Fenway Racing signed Busch after a thin layer of one year from the 2004 championship tournament. Busch said after thinking about the Thanksgiving holiday, but he understands that is not relevant to Penske.

"I'm not sure the best solution," to admit it. "It was my strength and my openness to play, I mean, it was not appropriate."

Busch won 10 races and four tournaments Chase Penske began in 2006. Bud Denker, vice president of Penske Corporation, was testing a new bush by the enthusiastic part of the organization.

"We thought he did a great job for us on the road, and there is no better manager, points with the developer and understanding of brands, said Kurt hits connected," said Denker. "It was amazing, I've never seen such a bad move, it is his ideas."

Thinkers and quickly highlight Busch was not the way to the break and came after weeks of discussion on the concerns of both sides with respect to the direction of the organization. Bush always talks about how he believes in what should be done, and without incident at Homestead with ESPN commentator Dr. Jerry Punch, had both sides of a break.

"The building was a stage, why he left and No. Our concern is, and it was time for us to get a divorce," said Denker. "I think we have, and above suspicion, he did not shoot. We have no fire Kurt Busch.

"We said," This is where we will in the future, Kurt, and we have our sponsors and vote for us. "

Shell, the main guarantee for the No. 22 Dodge, said in a statement supporting the decision.

"Shell and Pennzoil Motorsports program to use our technical expertise on our products and brands to get it to consumers to promote a positive," the statement said. "Move we will work to continue with the team, Penske Racing and the best opportunities for our evaluation of the motor sport. "

Thinker said that instead Busch talks, which began in earnest Monday and senior team contacted some "show of hands." With the active Cup driver David Ragan available, Brian Vickers and David Reutimann, who was a head in 2012, without the rides.

We have the talent in the world as well Nationwide Series, but the director said Sam Hornish Jr. Penske years thinker is a candidate.

"Our plan to visit Sat Nationwide Series for the championship next season to do," says Denker. "We are in favor of the plan, NASCAR is a kind of plan, the plan sponsor for this fun."

It is not clear where Busch was next on the road. There are no tours available competitive, committed, only the owner of the team to make room for him specifically, but an interview with AP NASCAR Busch come back next season.

It is rare that he wanted to "remember as a manager" and laughed when asked if he had to say goodbye.

Busch is WNEH and Street Stock Racing tried in the past, and he said this as he felt happy most of the delay.

"It is to laugh when I want," he said. "I was in my early days of the race."

Bush in 33 years, he has a future long stroke, and 24 career wins and 11 seasons were the flexibility of his time, his future plans to take. It was landed at the wrong time in NASCAR geskerts and hardened 1980-era, where the emphasis is on racing and less on sponsorship and off-road, it was probably more appropriate.

What is "the" big 80 10 years. I'm lost, "he said.

Busch, meanwhile, is the older brother of Joe Gibbs Racing, Kyle Busch managers spend in the last month of the season in a mess. The manufacturer claims an annual basis at the beginning of November for Ron Hornaday Jr. NASCAR realized it was destroyed by careful monitoring in the race truck in Texas suspended.

Kyle Busch NASCAR also fined $ 50 000, and the pilot had to fight for a seat in the last two games of the year savings, such as M & Ms snubbed the event. No decision has been officially announced in a greater involvement of the season Kyle Busch Nationwide and truck races next, while M & M announced that they have continued to sponsor the Cup.

While the trailer shows a lot, it doesn’t explain exactly what is coming after the attractive young people. It’s clear that there is someone controlling the cabin, making bad things happen. As one person says in the trailer, “Somebody sent those things here to get us.”

It’s not clear what “those things” are exactly, but some of the creepy looking visuals in the trailer include: scary white masks, a strange forcefield, a dark creature rising out of a lake and an eerie looking cloud of dust.

Country Music Awards: Kristin Chenoweth & Trace Adkins Highlight ACAs

2011-12-06T06:53:00.000-08:00

The American Country Awards were Jason Aldean's kinda party.

Country music's newest superstar won six awards Monday in Las Vegas, including the night's top honors artist of the year and record of the year for "My Kinda Party."

It's true, 2010 has been a non-stop party for Aldean. More than a million fans turned out for his arena tour, his platinum album has spawned four hits so far and the awards are starting to pile up after years of being ignored.

"This is getting a little ridiculous now," Aldean said on his second visit to the stage. "I don't know what else to say. It's been a crazy year."

Carrie Underwood's fans came through for her again at the fan-voted awards a year after she was the top winner on the inaugural show with six trophies. She picked up three awards this year, including female artist of the year and female single of the year for "Mama's Song."

"You guys vote like crazy," Underwood said during her second trip to the stage.

As expected, the show's focus was mostly on country music's emerging stars. Thompson Square also won three trophies – blue Fender Telecasters with an embossed silhouette of the U.S. The husband-and-wife duo of Shawna and Keifer Thompson rode their breakthrough single "Are You Going to Kiss Me Or Not?" to group single, new artist single and new artist video of the year awards.

"This is the first time we've won anything, so be patient," Keifer Thompson joked.

Chris Young won two awards, breakthrough artist and single of the year for "Voices," "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery was named new artist of the year and Lady Antebellum won a second straight group of the year.

Along with the night's top two honors, Aldean also was named touring artist of the year and won male single of the year for "My Kinda Party" and vocal collaboration single of the year for "Don't You Wanna Stay" with Kelly Clarkson.

Alabama won a Greatest Hits Award and Toby Keith was named artist of the decade as the most-played country star on radio over the past 10 years.

Blake Shelton won video of the year for "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking." He dedicated the win to his father, Dick, who is in the hospital with pneumonia. He then appeared to tear up at the end of his performance of "God Gave Me You."

"I want to say `hi' to my dad back home," Shelton said. "He's been having a pretty rough couple of weeks. I know he's watching back at home and I love you, dad, and want to dedicate this to you."

NHL Realignment: League Approves Radical Changes

2011-12-06T06:43:00.000-08:00

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Forced into realignment following Atlanta's move to Winnipeg last summer, the NHL opted for a dramatic change rather than a simple one.

League officials approved a radical realignment plan Monday that will give the league four conferences instead of six divisions and guarantee home-and-home series among all teams.

The Board of Governors authorized commissioner Gary Bettman to implement the proposal pending input from the NHL Players' Association. It could be put in place as early as next season.

The new plan tried to address as many concerns of the teams as possible, from creating more equitable travel, to preserving rivalries, to promoting the game by having the biggest stars play in every city every season.

"This is not a subject that everybody is going to get their first choice on," Bettman said. "What you try to do is come up with something that everybody can live with, get comfortable with and understands the value of. Because if you ask 30 clubs, you'd probably get 30 different solutions. That's what makes this a difficult process."

The league considered two plans to accommodate Atlanta's move to Winnipeg this past summer. The first would have moved the Jets to the Western Conference's Central Division and either Detroit or Columbus to the Southeast in the Eastern Conference.

But there were issues with that plan that kept compounding with each potential solution as other franchises wanted to use realignment to solve their concerns, as well.

"The simple one wasn't as simple as it looked when you got done with it," Bettman said.

The board opted to go with the more dramatic switch, creating four geographic conferences – two with eight teams and two with seven.

"I think at the end of the day, everybody voted in terms of doing what the right thing was for the majority of teams and our fans and our competitiveness and what was fair," said Nashville general manager David Poile, whose team was a big advocate of changing to the new model. "I think everybody probably feels good about that today. I know I do."

The new format will increase overall travel in the regular season, especially for Eastern Conference teams who will now have more trips West. But it cuts down on travel for some Western teams, which was a critical issue for teams such as Detroit, Dallas, Columbus and Nashville.

Toronto general manager Brian Burke said he had concerns about the wear and tear the extra travel would have on his team, but approved the plan when he was assured by the league that the schedule would be more efficient with every team playing in every city.

"We try to vote with a league hat on when we can," he said. "Sometimes you have to vote with your team's interest in mind. There's times you can vote with the league hat on and that's what we tried to do."

The new look has two conferences with seven teams all based in the Eastern time zone: New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Washington and Carolina in one, and Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Buffalo, Florida and Tampa Bay in the other.

The third conference consists of eight teams in the Eastern and Central time zones: Detroit, Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, Chicago, Minnesota, Dallas and Winnipeg. The fourth conference has eight teams in the Mountain and Pacific time zones: Los Angeles, Anaheim, Phoenix, San Jose, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Colorado.

The conferences have not been named.

"I think there were more than two or three teams not happy with the current situation," Columbus general manager Scott Howson said. "This was a compromise that really satisfies everybody to a large extent."

The league was able to keep rivals Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in the same conference by grouping the two Florida teams with the three Canadian teams in the Eastern Conference, Boston and Buffalo.

"We don't have much input as players but I'm sure that they've worked every possible situation and it's like with anything, it's not going to fit everybody perfect but Florida in January's not too bad," Ottawa captain Daniel Alfredsson said following the Senators' 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.

Teams will play home-and-home series against all nonconference teams and five or six games in their conference. The top four teams in each conference will make the playoffs, with the first two rounds consisting of solely intraconference matchups. Bettman said he will consult with general managers in the spring before deciding whether to reseed the playoffs in the third round or to have predetermined matchups.

"But now, the Western teams don't have to leave the time zone every single time we have a road trip," Phoenix captain Shane Doan said. "We leave our time zone every single time now."

Bettman said he liked the current format that he devised of six five-team divisions, but that Winnipeg's move from Atlanta forced some change. He didn't take a stance on either proposal, but simply explained the pros and cons and allowed the teams to vote.

There was about an hour of discussion, and representatives from about a dozen teams spoke before the plan was approved.

Bettman said the NHLPA has expressed concerns about the new plan and that he will discuss it with union chief Donald Fehr before implementing it. Bettman said the change doesn't need union approval, a stance the NHLPA contests.

"Realignment requires an agreement between the league and the NHLPA," union spokesman Jonathan Weatherdon said. "'We look forward to continuing our discussions with the league regarding this matter."

St. Nicholas

2011-12-06T06:09:00.000-08:00

The Saint of the Day for December 6 is St. Nicholas.

Saint Nicholas, bishop of Myra, is undoubtedly one of the most popular saints honored in the Western world. In the United States, his memory has survived in the unique personality of Saint Claus — the jolly, rotund, white-bearded gentleman who captivates children with promises of gifts on Christmas Eve. Considered primarily as the patron saint of children, Nicholas is also invoked by sailors, merchants, bakers, travelers and pawnbrokers, and with Saint Andrew is honored as the co-patron of Russia.

In spite of his widespread fame, Saint Nicholas, from the historian's point of view, is hardly more than a name. He was born in the last years of the third century in Asia Minor. His uncle, the archbishop of Myra in Lycia, ordained him and appointed him abbot of a nearby monastery. At the death of the archbishop, Nicholas was chosen to fill the vacancy, and he served in this position until his death. About the time of the persecutions of Diocletian, he was imprisoned for preaching Christianity but was released during the reign of Emperor Constantine.

Popular legends have involved Saint Nicholas in a number of charming stories, one of which relates Nicholas' charity toward the poor. A man of Patara had lost his fortune, and finding himself unable to support his three maiden daughters, was planning to turn them into the streets as prostitutes. Nicholas heard of the man's intentions and secretly threw three bags of gold through a window into the home, thus providing dowries for the daughters. The three bags of gold mentioned in this story are said to be the origin of the three gold balls that form the emblem of pawnbrokers.

After Nicholas' death on December 6 in or around 345, his body was buried in the cathedral at Myra. It remained there until 1087, when seamen of Bari, an Italian coastal town, seized the relics of the saint and transferred them to their own city. Veneration for Nicholas had already spread throughout Europe as well as Asia, but this occurrence led to a renewal of devotion in the West. Countless miracles were attributed to the saint's intercession. His relics are still preserved in the church of San Nicola in Bari; an oily substance, known as Manna di S. Nicola, which is highly valued for its medicinal powers, is said to flow from them.

The story of Saint Nicholas came to America in distorted fashion. The Dutch Protestants carried a popularized version of the saint's life to New Amsterdam, portraying Nicholas as nothing more than a Nordic magician and wonder-worker. Our present-day conception of Santa Claus has grown from this version. Catholics should think of Nicholas as a saint, a confessor of the faith and the bishop of Myra — not merely as a jolly man from the North Pole who brings happiness to small children. Many countries and locations honor St. Nicholas as patron: Greece, Russia, the Kingdom of Naples, Sicily, Lorraine, and many cities in Italy, Germany, Austria, and Belgium.

What is Light Year

2011-12-06T05:21:00.000-08:00

A light-year, also light year or lightyear (symbol: ly) is a unit of length, equal to just under 10 trillion kilometres (10×1015 metres, 10 petametres or about 6 trillion miles). As defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a light-year is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one Julian year.

The light-year is often used to measure distances to stars and other distances on a galactic scale, especially in non-specialist and popular science publications. The preferred unit in astrometry is the parsec, because it can be more easily derived from, and compared with, observational data. The parsec is defined as the distance at which an object will appear to move one arcsecond of parallax when the observer moves one astronomical unit perpendicular to the line of sight to the observer, and is equal to approximately 3.26 light-years.

Numerical value

One light-year is equal to:

exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km (about 9.5 Pm)

about 5,878,625,373,183.608 miles (about 6 trillion miles)

about 63,241.1 astronomical units

about 0.306601 parsecs

exactly 31,557,600 light-seconds

The figures above are based on a Julian year (not Gregorian year) of exactly 365.25 days (each of exactly 86,400 SI seconds, totalling 31,557,600 seconds)[2] and a defined speed of light of 299,792,458 m/s, both included in the IAU (1976) System of Astronomical Constants, used since 1984.

Other values

Before 1984, the tropical year (not the Julian year) and a measured (not defined) speed of light were included in the IAU (1964) System of Astronomical Constants, used from 1968 to 1983.The product of Simon Newcomb's J1900.0 mean tropical year of 31,556,925.9747 ephemeris seconds and a speed of light of 299,792.5 km/s produced a light-year of 9.460530×1015 m (rounded to the seven significant digits in the speed of light) found in several modern sources was probably derived from an old source such as a reputable 1973 reference which was not updated until 2000.

Other high-precision values are not derived from a coherent IAU system. A value of 9.460536207×1015 m found in some modern sources is the product of a mean Gregorian year of 365.2425 days (31,556,952 s) and the defined speed of light (299,792,458 m/s). Another value, 9.460528405×1015 m, is the product of the J1900.0 mean tropical year and the defined speed of light.

History

The first successful measurement of the distance to a star other than our Sun was made by Friedrich Bessel in 1838. The star was 61 Cygni, and he used a superlative 6.2-inch (160 mm) heliometer designed by Joseph von Fraunhofer. The largest unit for measuring distances across space at that time was the Astronomical Unit (AU), equal to the radius of the Earth's orbit (1.50×108 km; 9.30×107 mi). The use of this unit in trigonometric calculations based on 61 Cygni's parallax of 0.314 arcseconds, gave the distance to the star as 660,000 AU (9.9×1013 km; 6.1×1013 mi). Bessel realised that a much larger unit of measurement was needed to make the vast interstellar distances comprehensible.

James Bradley had stated in 1729 that light travelled 10,210 times faster than the Earth in its orbit. In 1769, a transit of Venus revealed the distance of the Earth from the Sun, and this, together with Bradley's figure, allowed the speed of light to be calculated as 3.01×108 m/s, very close to the modern value.

Bessel used this speed to work out how far light would travel in a year, and announced that the distance to 61 Cygni was 10.3 light-years. This was the first appearance of the light-year as a measurement of distance, and, although modern astronomers prefer the parsec, it is popularly used to gauge the expanses of interstellar and intergalactic space.

Distances in light-years

Distances measured in fractions of a light-year (or in light-months) usually involve objects within a star system. Distances measured in light-years include distances between nearby stars, such as those in the same spiral arm or globular cluster.

One kilolight-year, abbreviated "kly", is one thousand light-years (about 307 parsecs). Kilolight-years are typically used to measure distances between parts of a galaxy.

One megalight-year, abbreviated "Mly", is one million light-years (about 307 kiloparsecs). Megalight-years are typically used to measure distances between neighbouring galaxies and galaxy clusters.

One gigalight-year, abbreviation "Gly", is one billion (109) light-years—one of the largest distance measures used. Gigalight-years are typically used to measure distances to supergalactic structures, including quasars and the Great Wall.

Kepler-22b: New Planet With Earth-Like Characteristics Discovered In 'Habitable Zone' (IMAGE)

2011-12-06T04:54:00.000-08:00

NASA announced Monday announced the discovery of Kepler-22b, the planet for the first time in the Kepler spacecraft would be the habitable zone, an area of a surface of a star where temperatures of liquid water has .

The discovery of Kepler-22b, which is 600 light years from Earth, scientists closer to finding planets that could harbor life.

"This is an important milestone on the way to Earth to find the twins," said Douglas Hudgins, the Kepler science program in a statement. "The results of Kepler increase in the importance of the scientific mission of NASA Some of the biggest questions about our place in the universe has been designed to respond to a show. "

One of the properties of Kepler-22b more similar to Earth: The temperature is around 72 degrees Celsius and a radius of 2.4 times the Earth. The planet orbits a star like our sun every 290 days, 75 days in the year of the Earth immediately ashamed.

Last week, announced the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, the discovery of Kepler-21b, a planet with the Earth 1.6 times the radius. But unlike the Kepler-21b, which is only about 3.7 million kilometers from the sun and burn 2960 degrees Celsius, Kepler-22b, about 79 miles from the sun, a pleasant 72 degrees.

However, NASA says it is not clear whether the Rock of Kepler 22b gas or liquid.

Scientists probe Kepler, planets through the analysis of very tired, appeared in the light of distant stars. The "hollow" every time the planet between the sun and Kepler is in motion, thus thwarted the starlight. For a planet to be confirmed, must be in orbit celestial three scientists spiral sun is available.

Since taking Kepler-22b 290 days in orbit around the sun, the world nearly three years for scientists to ensure that the planets. Steve Howell, a researcher at NASA Ames Research Center, the Kepler team presented the Huffington Post that the first reduction in the light of science, a few days after its launch in 2009, Kepler.

"We were just delighted," said Howell Huff Post. "The first clue to begin three days after we make scientific activities immediately after the start."

According to CNN led the Kepler spacecraft, which began in the identification of candidate planet 2326 mission.

But the most exciting discoveries yet to come.

"It's very exciting," said Howell, adding that the spacecraft Kepler to find planets more like Earth. "We Movement orbital periods of approximately equal to the country, and that means very soon we will [planet] heavily on the earth, which we call analog world that we will be there for us to close probably in a year, easily . "

Trisomy 18 and 13

2011-12-05T08:36:00.000-08:00

The states are less common than cystic sistiese spierdistrofie and watch over, some people have never heard of trisomy 18 or trisomy 13

In Britain, trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome called the doctor who identified it) in 3000 live births from all over, with girls is three times more numerous. Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome or) occurs in one in 4000 live births in both boys and girls.

This is because Rome is the most common chromosomal abnormalities of Down syndrome, also called trisomy 21.

How can trisomies?

The "three", the word means in trisomy. At conception, 23 chromosomes farm kid from his father and 23 chromosomes from his mother. It combines a child with 46 chromosomes in each cell, two of each.

Each chromosome has a "job" in the cell and carries certain genetic material. Down syndrome occurs when three chromosomes baby in a position rather than the usual.

Born on average 400 children per year with trisomy 13 or 18, with most cases diagnosed in late pregnancy. Most trisomies (about 95 per cent) full trisomies. This is the extra chromosome in each cell in the body of the child to go. This is not the type of trisomy hereditary, and not because of anything the parents did or did not.

Since half of pregnancy, miscarriage - often a woman knows she is pregnant - do not know many couples, a chromosome abnormality child.

In contrast Down syndrome, trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 is usually fatal, with most affected children die before birth, and for those who live a normal birth a few days. However, a small number of children (less than 10 per cent) at least one year, and some children who survived living in their adolescence.

Experts know how trisomy happen, but why this happens. What do they know that the risk increases for a child with Down syndrome with age. But most children with Down syndrome mothers in their twenties, because more children are born to women in this age group.

Features of trisomy 18 and 13

The features of trisomy 18 heart and kidney defects, esophageal atresia (the esophagus to the stomach of a commitment that the child does not eat by mouth, then do so), hands crinkled, deformed feet - known as the rocker feet, micrognathia (small jaw) and the development Agter serious teeth.

As with trisomy 18 Babies with trisomy 13, cardiac and renal lesions and the rocker were born feet below. Other features include extra fingers and toes, the head is not small (Mikrosefalie), in half of the brain during gestation (holoprosencephaly), are missing or wrongly nose, lips and / or cleft palate and disability severe mental to share.

Diagnosis
Where deficiencies that we believe that the ring kand ultrasound, and increase the likelihood of Down syndrome and parents will be presented to other tests to ensure (as a lake or a history amniosintese biopsy).

The two tests with a small needle into the uterus. The disadvantage of these two diagnostic procedures in the risk of miscarriage. But you and your partner decide whether a child with a probability of Down syndrome is high enough to cover the increased risk of miscarriage when to accept additional testing. Some couples see it as a risk of 1 in 100 as a 99 percent chance of good things, and so make the decision without further diagnostic testing. Some believe that enough to justify a risk in 1000 for further investigation. The decision really comes from you.

Some reports said Sunday that the Marlins, the Mets pushed out of the race for Jose Reyes, began to grow short Holster superstar. At 10:00 ET Reyes is the Marlins. According to sources, Reyes and the Marlins have six years was $ 106 million deal, the richest in club history. This will make it official that Reyes took a physical in the coming days.

The movement is as natural resources, Hanley Ramirez to cut short to third. Unfortunately, it can not start learning the new position immediately after the shoulder surgery. Ramirez is scheduled to begin baseball activities until the first day of the year.

The transaction is accepted. Dave Cameron at Fangraphs says the Marlins have a potential market, and I believe it or not, Yahoo! Sports columnist Jeff passersby do not think it's insulting.

BCS Bowl Games: Oklahoma State A Spot Short; Mich State, Boise State Miss BCS

2011-12-05T07:35:00.000-08:00

As Alabama prepares for the BCS championship game, Oklahoma State Cowboys wondering how the best in the race for the SEC.

Oklahoma State finished No.. 3 in the BCS championship leader last Sunday evening, missing the title game loss to the Iowa State last month.

"Only players everything they had in the game, and they believe they can win the game," Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said.

The Cowboys are one of the few of the best teams in the hotel, less this weekend. Michigan State missed the loss of the Rose Bowl trip in the Big Ten championship game, then fall all the way to the Outback Bowl. Boise State. 7 in the BCS championship leader going into the Cup final was MAACO. Kansas State was one place behind Boise State, but under the leadership of the Cotton Bowl after the approval by the BCS.

"We understand why some programs in selected areas," said Michigan Athletic Director Mark Hollis. "You ask, you deserve it."

Oklahoma State expects 44-10 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday night would be enough to push the Cowboys past the Crimson Tide idle and powerless. Second, Alabama, was an All-Southern Conference title game against LSU BCS creation. The SEC is now the sixth consecutive BCS championship guaranteed.

Burns Hargis, president of Oklahoma State, have offered assessment of the results. The Cowboys were the Crimson Tide in the computer rankings, but the Harris Poll and coaches' role in the BCS rankings.

"I think now a priority for the SEC, and I think part of, but who won the national championship recently it deserves," said Hargis. "I'm sure there is a negative influence."

Stanford plays Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Michigan State lost FR BCS bid for the second consecutive season. Last year, the Spartans with Wisconsin and Ohio State for Big Ten title equally, but the other two BCS bowl teams, and Michigan State, the capital of a dish.

This weekend was unbearable. The Spartans lost 42-39 to Wisconsin, the Big Ten championship game, and they will stay. Georgia in the Outback Bowl. Meanwhile, the rival of Michigan, Michigan State team is ready and during the Big Bang Ten season, the sugar bowl.

The Spartans three losses, two in Michigan, but lost to Michigan State in the championship game of the conference, the Wolverines are not eligible.

"This is how the BCS works," said Spartans receiver BJ Cunningham. "This system is not fair .. life is not fair, but it is what it is."

BCS bowls are finished with the possibility of choosing the Michigan State Spartans do not like the BCS top 14 ranking.

For Boise State, a chance for the national championship to go with the Broncos last month by TCU lost a point. With a wide curve to the BCS Boise State Arizona State reaching the MAACO Bowl will face.

Can a BCS bowl hung TCU automatic bid if they are the Top 16, BCS rankings. Instead, the Frogs played in the Horingsman number. 18 and Louisiana Tech in the Poinsettia Bowl.

Kansas State is a major effort to tackle BCS, but are formed. The Sugar Bowl Virginia Tech and Michigan, with 11 and 13 in the BCS rankings. Now the state of Kansas on Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl. The Razorbacks have no place. Try 6 in the BCS, one of the highest in the team of the best available bowls. Arkansas can not choose the CSS, as two members of the LSU and Alabama.

This is good news for the Cotton Bowl was pleased with the Razorbacks and Aggies get.

"The state of Kansas, Arkansas matchup very successful for us," said Baker. "There are a few bowls exciting clash as fascinating as we play."
