Better Urls?

This is my .htaccess file on my website:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

#rewrite condition 1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^bizwidgets\.biz
RewriteRule (.*) http://bizwidgets.biz/$1 [R=301,L]

#rewrite condition 2:
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|blog|downloads|ice|demos|user_guide|_js|uploads|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

The first condition removes the www from the URL, making it shorter, and the second condition removes index.php from the URI string, while allowing direct access to folders like images, css, blog, downloads, etc...
