| Article Title :: The Fiesta Bowl is Moving Out of Town |
| |
| In College Football the Fiesta Bowl is saying good bye to the Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona after 35 years since Arizona State beat Florida State 45-38 in the inaugural Fiesta Bowl on December 27th, 1971.
Next year, the College Football game will move across the Phoenix Metropolitan Area to Glendale, due to that all the proposals to build the new stadium in Tempe fell through and Glendale emerged as the winning site.
Some of the features that this new College Football stadium will show are: a retractable roof and a natural grass field that slides out in the sunshine when itÂ’s not in use.
There were five national champions crowned at the Tempe (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Backpacking Checklist |
| |
| A backpacking checklist is usually about the "stuff." Good equipment is nice to have, but even with the best gear you can get into trouble in the wilderness. You might have matches and the latest fire starters, but still not be able to get that fire going. It takes more than good gear to assure a safe and enjoyable trip. Towards that end, then, this is a list of skills you should have or learn.
1. Navigation. Contrary to what many novices think, a compass doesn't tell you where you are. For that matter, a map doesn't either, if you don't know how to use it. Practice close to home if you can't yet use both of these easily. Do the same with your GPS unit.
2. Staying w (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Sport as a part of our lives |
| |
| Every day we get up, have our breakfast and rush like mad to whatever destination. We donÂ’t care about anything that is outside of our field of work. But when it comes to health we run like crazy to the hospital, forgetting about our daily routine. Now it is quite clear to us that we have to keep fit and stay healthy to keep up with the speed of living today.
Someone buys a dozen of pills and remedies and crawls in bed with hope to get well soon and someone starts doing sports, tries to have a healthy lifestyle.
Doing sports doesnÂ’t really mean that you have to spend the whole day in the field or pitch running, jumping, making new records and winning the Olympics. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How To Machine Magnesium? |
| |
| Magnesium has been used in manufacturing notebook computer frames, video cameras, digital cameras, PDAs and other consumer electronics products because of its high strength to weight ratio. When magnesium is alloyed with aluminum, the resultant material is very light and strong, and easily machinable.
The main concern in machining magnesium alloy is the danger of fire ignition when dry cutting. Fire may occur when the melting point of the alloy (400-600 degrees Celsius) is exceeded during machining. The small chips and fine dust generated during cutting are also highly flammable and pose a serious fire risk if not properly handled.
There are several points to note (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How To Make Lighter and Thinner Magnesium Components? |
| |
| Magnesium is the lightest structural material offering very good damping characteristics, weldability and excellent shielding against electro-magnetic interferance, and is unlimited in supply. It has been an excellent material for making portable electronic and telecommunication devices, and automotive and aerospace equipment such as MD player casings, chassis for cell phones, video cameras and notebook computers, automotive gear housings, car wheels and engine blocks.
The most common methods to produce magnesium parts are die casting and thixomolding processes. However, these runner and gating processes provide a low material yield of only 30% for thin-wall casting and can onl (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Avoiding Penalties In Hockey |
| |
| Hockey is really a pretty rough sport considering the fact that there are twelve players on the ice who are seemingly fighting over a tiny little rubber puck thatÂ’s only an inch thick and three inches in diameter. Add the fact that they knock the puck around the ice with big sticks while wearing skates and youÂ’ve got a game that can seem somewhat brutal at times. The truth of the matter is, accidents happen in hockey and it isnÂ’t unusual for players to get roughed up a little. However, the sport is really disciplined with precise rules and penalty assessment for infractions. Penalties, depending on their nature, may result in a player being temporarily or permanently put out of a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Schools and Students facing Penalties due to Reform Package Approved Two Years Ago |
| |
| Students failing to meet NCAA standards for eligibility and progress toward graduation could lose scholarships for one year under the academic reform package approved by the NCAA two years ago.
About 55 percent of the member colleges and universities have completed the reporting. The remaining 45 percent is still requesting adjustments or waivers.
The NCAA last month released its findings on graduation rates, and it reported 76 percent of Division I athletes who entered college in 1995-96 had graduated. The separate academic progress report, expected by late February, will be based on the number of athletes on each team who achieve eligibility and return to campus (read full article) |

| |
| The Sultanate of Oman is the second largest country on the Arabian Peninsula, lying along its southeast corner. It has a total land area of 300,000 square kilometres and a population of over two million.
The Musandam, separated from the rest of Oman by the United Arab Emirates, is the northernmost part of the Sultanate.
Due to its geographical position and mountainous terrain it was isolated from the rest of Oman and the region developed at its own pace. Graded roads cut across the mountains have now made it more accessible. The grandeur of Musandam can best be explored by sea.
Musandam Peninsula has an abundance of sheltered fjords, some only connected (read full article) |
