Cowgirls, Reversed at Times squer (Pic Of The Day)

[Times Square got all country-western today—including this pair doing the, um, "Boot Scootin' Boogie"—as a Professional Bull Riders competition was held in the middle of Manhattan. Another photo of bull riding on Broadway below. Yee-Haw!]




Just by the set of his arm, I can tell that that is the great J.B. Mauny *2 bullrider in the world. He's amazing.
By the way,the bulls in this sport are treated like royalty and live to ripe old ages, usually they are retired to live outside the rest of their lives as ranch mascots or family pets,,(unlike most bulls who go straight to market as calves for veal or a bit later as steak).
A "ride" is 8 seconds long,and usually a bull works, at most, 2 rides per event. There are strict veterinary and humane rules for treatment of the bulls who are considered "animal athletes". Spurs are filed smooth so bulls won't even get scratched during a ride, and the rope on the flank has to be far enough ahead so it doesn't irritate the bull's genitals. They even have chiropractors who travel with them! My favorite bull gets a huge helping of waffles on his way home from each even.

Tiger Woods' sex record to hit market Friday


There is no stopping Tiger Woods' sex tape with porn star Devon James hitting the market Friday, says producer Nick James who is also the husband of the porn star.

James told the celebrity web site RadarOnline.com that he doesn't think a last minute bid by the disgraced golfer's lawyers will stop the alleged sex tape with his wife becoming available Friday.

He said they are moving forward with the release "no matter what."

James said, "I was told there was a bid by his lawyers to buy the tape but so far no deal has been struck and I don't think it will be either."

Lebanese hail Ahmadinejad as super hero


A poster of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad set up in Beirut for his visitMahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, has been welcomed by thousands of mostly Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon on a visit that underlines the deep divisions between the country's Shia militants and its pro-western factions.

Ahmadinejad's first state visit to Lebanon comes amid tensions between Iranian-backed Hezbollah and American-backed parties. There are fears for the fragile unity government, which includes both sides and has managed to keep a tenuous calm.

In The present Month's Al-Qaeda Magazine: How to Make a Death Car [Terrorism]


Looking for new tips on how to best wage jihad against the decadent West? Check out the new issue of Inspire, the official English-language al Qaeda magazine—it's chock-full of great ideas for the at-home terrorist, including:

* "A random hit at a crowded restaurant in Washington, D.C., at lunch hour might end up knocking out a few government employees"
* Instructions on turning your pickup truck into "the ultimate mowing machine," by welding steel blades to the grill and "mow[ing] down the enemies of Allah" on the sidewalk "to achieve maximum carnage."
* How to make creepy cookies for Halloween

Oh, no, wait, that last one is from a different terrorist magazine.

Inspire is produced by an American-born terrorist named Samir Khan, who operates out of Yemen as part of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and, as a company, it's already more valuable than Newsweek. Really, though, who are these guys kidding? The only way to get people to read magazines these days is Kim Kardashian nude pics.

This year's Nobel prize for economics has been awarded to American economists Peter Diamond of MIT and Dale Mortensen of Northwestern University, as well as British-Cypriot Christopher Pissarides of the London School of Economics for their work on unemployment and the labour market.

Wrapping up the 2010 Nobel season, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced this lunchtime that the 10m Swedish kronor prize (£947,000) has been given to the three economists for their analysis of "markets with search frictions". On Friday, the prestigious Nobel peace prize was awarded to jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, which sparked calls for his release by the west and a furious condemnation by China.

UK beil 'killed by Afghan captors'

Afghan forces conduct a search in Kunar province following the death of Linda Norgrove in a rescue attempt by Nato troops yesterday. The British aid worker was abducted on 26 September while travelling in Kunar

US special forces in Afghanistan stormed a compound in a pre-dawn raid yesterday, where 36-year-old Linda Norgrove was being held in the village of Dineshgal, Kunar province, in the east of the country.

A tribal elder was quoted as saying that the kidnappers had killed Norgrove during the assault. A suicide vest was found nearby, but it was not clear if it had been detonated or if other explosives had been used to kill the aid worker. "There is nothing at all to suggest that US fire was the cause," a Foreign Office spokesman added. Seven insurgents are also understood to have died during the rescue bid.
