SEATTLE – Could 2012's "Comeback Fighter of the Year" be Matt Brown?
After all, the 31-year-old Ohio native was mired in a 1-4 slump when the calendar year began, and after an impressive main-card win over Mike Swick, he now boasts a four-fight win streak that includes a national-television appearance at Saturday's UFC on FOX 5 event in Seattle.
It's an impressive accomplishment but one that "The Immortal" refuses to over-hype.
Brown has been flying largely under the radar in recent preliminary-card wins over Luis Ramos, Stephen Thompson and Chris Cope. However, on Saturday, he and Swick were tapped for the evening's first FOX-broadcast bout, and most MMA pundits expected the two to set the tone for an evening of high-quality action."Hopefully it means a lot to everybody else," Brown said at Saturday's post-event press conference. "It's just another fight to me. I'm glad that I got to do it on a big stage on FOX with a lot of people to show what I can do."
But Swick struggled to get in his groove and according to a FightMetric report landed just 31 percent of his significant strike attempts compared to 64 percent for Brown. The majority of those blows came in the second round, when Brown landed 23 strikes to just eight for Swick. Included in that tally was a devastating two-punch combination that flattened Swick, and Brown followed to the floor to seal the result of the 2:31 mark of the second round.
While he made a claim for the evening's "Knockout of the Night" bonus with the impressive result, Yves Edwards ultimately earned that award. Still, Brown now boasts three stoppage wins in his past four appearances and has likely earned himself another main-card appearance. Whether or not he'll again be an underdog, as he was on Saturday night, remains to be seen. But Brown seems completely unconcerned.
And as for the winning streak, Brown was equally humble and uncertain."Every day I just wake up, train as hard as I can and do the best that I can in every aspect of my life and go to bed and try to do it again the next day," Brown said. "I don't really worry about all the other things in life. I just take it one day at a time and do the best I can."
"Hopefully it moves me up somewhere," Brown said.[/

Back in the late 90's these 2 titans of the comic industry decided to duke it out with Marvel winning by 1 match, if memory serves me correctly. Now I just want to know who you would want to see fight with the characters that each company has right now in their roster, and who you think would win the match-up, and most importantly why you think that character would win.
Here are some guide lines:
1)the character has to be existing or still exists in their respective universe
ie: Wally West cannot be used because he is not in the current DC universe.
2)You can only use characters from earth 1 or going to be part of earth 1 on DC, meaning power girl, huntress and the jsa is good.
3)You can only use characters from Marvel earth 616...no ultimate universe or any other kind of universe from marvel.
My Match ups:
Batman vs. Iron Man = Both Billionaires and both equipped with state of the art technology, but in the end Bruce is an excellent tactician and a better martial fighter. Batman wins.
Gambit vs. Grifter= Both con men and both extremely agile and flashy. However Cole Cash's history has been wiped out and since his edge came from being part of team 7 I would give this to Gambit.
Superman vs. World War Hulk= This is a tough one... I mean we have the last son of krypton against the one character that literally beat everyone in his universe. I would give this to Clark because of sheer favoritism.
Huntress vs. Hope Summers= Hope is considered THE most powerful mutant, because of her ability to borrow other mutant's abilities...having said that Huntress is not a mutant so it would just be a match of skill which Hope has plenty of being raised by Cable..I give this one to Hope.
Wonder Woman vs Valkyrie= I think this would be a great match up being as both characters are equipped with magical weapons and excellent warriors. I would give this one to Diana because she is the princess of the amazons.
These are the match ups that i have right now. I would love to hear from you guys on who you would want to see pit against each other and who you think would win.

I now use the Original Sprout Miracle Detangler (thanks Julie for the recommendation!) for the tough tangles. At around $20, it is pricier than what you'd buy at the supermarket, but it really gets the tangles out. When I first got it I was skeptical because of the price, so I tried the cheaper hair detangler on my daughter and when I still couldn't get out certain hair tangles, I sprayed the Miracle Dentangler on it. The brush slid right through the tangles. Amazing! I've been using it daily on my daughter with fine and wavy hair since January 1st, and we haven't even used 1/4 of the bottle. A little goes a long way so don't let the price deter you.

October 21, 2010 marked the first annual Celebration of Mind, an event honoring Martin Gardner on the occasion of what would have been his 96th birthday. There were 66 events held on five continents around the world!
Here in Washington, our event took place at the Mathematical Association of America headquarters near Dupont Circle, and was co-hosted by Ivars Peterson, Dana Richards and myself. It was a wonderful evening, featuring seven talks that reflected different facets of Martin's interests and expertise, along with various collections of materials scattered around the room for people to peruse and play with.
We had about 75 people in attendance, including a number of students as well as adults, and the energy and good feelings grew as the evening went along.
The talks covered the topology, magic, puzzling, L. Frank Baum and the Wizard of Oz, skepticism, Sherlock Holmes and geometric sculpture as well as stories about Martin himself. Check out the MAA youtube channel where all the talks are posted. The talks are wonderful, well worth viewing!

Early spontaneous abortion (the most prevalent) is usually due to fetal malformations or chromosomal abnormalities. Spontaneous abortion during the last two thirds of pregnancy is more likely to be due to maternal factors, for example abnormalities of the cervix or uterus, insufficient progesterone, sexually transmitted diseases that affect the genital tract, endocrine dysfunction (as in hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus), or severe emotional trauma. Immunological reactions, in which maternal antibodies mistake the fetus for foreign tissue, have been implicated in recurrent, or habitual spontaneous abortions. It is estimated that at least 20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage (estimates range from 15% to 75%). Most occur in the first two weeks after conception, and in many cases the mother is not aware of the pregnancy.
Abortion can be induced for medical reasons or because of an elective decision to end the pregnancy. Procedures for inducing abortion include vacuum suction (the most common, used in the early stages of pregnancy), dilatation and evacuation (D and E), induction (injection of abortifacients such as prostaglandins into the uterus), and hysterotomy (a surgical procedure similar to a cesarean section, used later in pregnancy, especially when the woman's life is in danger). The "abortion pill," the drug RU-486 (mifepristone), was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States in 2000. It is used within the first seven weeks of pregnancy. A second drug is taken two days later to start uterine contractions and complete the abortion. The drugs methotrexate and misoprostol have also been used experimentally to end early pregnancies.
Abortion induced by herbs or manipulation was used as a form of birth control in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome and probably earlier. In the Middle Ages in Western Europe it was generally accepted in the early months of pregnancy. However, in the 19th cent. opinion about abortion changed. In 1869 the Roman Catholic Church prohibited abortion under any circumstances. In England and in the United States in the 19th cent. stringent antiabortion laws were passed.
Attitudes toward abortion became more liberal in the 20th cent. By the 1970s, abortion had been legalized in most European countries and Japan; in the United States, under a 1973 Supreme Court ruling (see Roe v. Wade), abortions are permitted during the first six months of pregnancy. Abortion remains a controversial issue in the United States, however, and in 1977 Congress barred the use of Medicaid funds for abortion except for therapeutic reasons and in certain other specified instances. Several state legislatures passed restrictive abortion laws in hope that the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade, but in 1992 the court reaffirmed the basic principles of the 1973 decision.
From 1995 to 2000 the U.S. Congress repeatedly passed, but President Bill Clinton vetoed, a bill that would ban a rare late-term method of abortion called by its critics "partial-birth abortion." Subsequent attempts by many U.S. states to ban this method were contested in the courts, and in 2000 the Supreme Court voided such laws that do not include an exception when the health of the mother is endangered. A federal bill banning banning the procedure was passed again in 2003 and signed into law by President George W. Bush. The law was quickly challenged in the courts, and a federal judge declared it unconstitutional in 2004 in part because of its lack of a health exception, but the Supreme Court, with two new conservative members appointed by President Bush, upheld the law in 2007. U.S. opponents of abortion have used more militant tactics at times in attempts to disrupt the operations of facilities that perform abortions, and some extremists have resorted to bombings and assassination. In India, the abortion of female fetuses by couples desiring a male child led (1994) to criminal penalties for prenatal testing when done solely to determine the sex of the fetus; such tests have been banned in parts of China for the same reason.
See M. Muldoon, The Abortion Debate in the United States and Canada: A Source Book (1991); J. M. Riddle, Contraception and Abortion from the Ancient World to the Renaissance (1994); Boston Women's Health Book Collective, Our Bodies, Ourselves for the New Century (1998); J. Risen and J. L. Thomas, Wrath of Angels (1998).
Abortion has a long history and has been induced by various methods including herbal abortifacients, the use of sharpened tools, physical trauma and other traditional methods. Modern medicine utilizes medications and surgical procedures to induce abortion. The legality, prevalence, and cultural views on abortion vary substantially around the world. In many parts of the world there is intense public debate over the ethical and legal aspects of abortion. The approximate number of induced abortions performed worldwide in 2003 was 42 million, which declined from nearly 46 million in 1995.
Spontaneous abortion (also known as miscarriage) is the expulsion of an embryo or fetus due to accidental trauma or natural causes. Most miscarriages are due to incorrect replication of chromosomes; they can also be caused by environmental factors. Spontaneous abortions, generally referred to as miscarriages, occur when an embryo or fetus is lost due to natural causes before the 20th week of gestation. A pregnancy that ends between 20 and 37 weeks of gestation, if it results in a live-born infant, is known as a "premature birth". When a fetus dies in utero after about 20 weeks, or during delivery, it is termed "stillborn". Premature births and stillbirths are generally not considered to be miscarriages although usage of these terms can sometimes overlap.
Most miscarriages occur very early in pregnancy. Between 10% and 50% of pregnancies end in clinically apparent miscarriage, depending upon the age and health of the pregnant woman. In most cases, they occur so early in the pregnancy that the woman is not even aware that she was pregnant. One study testing hormones for ovulation and pregnancy showed a rate of pregnancy in exposed ovulatory cycles of 59.6%; with 61.9% of conceptuses lost prior to 12 weeks of which 91.7% occuried subclinically, without the knowledge of the mother.
The risk of spontaneous abortion decreases sharply after the 10th week from the last menstrual period (LMP), with a loss rate between 8.5 weeks LMP and birth of about two percent; pregnancy loss is "virtually complete by the end of the embryonic period.
This risk of spontaneous abortion is greater in those with a known history of several spontaneous abortions or an induced abortion, those with systemic diseases, and those over the age 35. Other causes can be infection (of either the woman or fetus), immune response, or serious systemic disease. A spontaneous abortion can also be caused by accidental trauma; intentional trauma or stress to cause miscarriage is considered induced abortion or feticide.
Any abortion that is not therapeutic is by definition elective.
In the first 12 weeks, suction-aspiration or vacuum abortion is the most common method. Manual Vacuum aspiration (MVA) abortion consists of removing the fetus or embryo by suction using a manual syringe, while electric vacuum aspiration (EVA) abortion uses an electric pump. These techniques are comparable, and differ in the mechanism used to apply suction, how early in pregnancy they can be used, and whether cervical dilation is necessary. MVA, also known as "mini-suction" and "menstrual extraction", can be used in very early pregnancy, and does not require cervical dilation. Surgical techniques are sometimes referred to as 'Suction (or surgical) Termination Of Pregnancy' (STOP). From the 15th week until approximately the 26th, dilation and evacuation (D&E) is used. D&E consists of opening the cervix of the uterus and emptying it using surgical instruments and suction.
Dilation and curettage (D&C), the second most common method of abortion, is a standard gynecological procedure performed for a variety of reasons, including examination of the uterine lining for possible malignancy, investigation of abnormal bleeding, and abortion. Curettage refers to cleaning the walls of the uterus with a curette. The World Health Organization recommends this procedure, also called sharp curettage, only when MVA is unavailable. The term D and C, or sometimes suction curette, is used as a euphemism for the first trimester abortion procedure, whichever the method used.
Other techniques must be used to induce abortion in the second trimester. Premature delivery can be induced with prostaglandin; this can be coupled with injecting the amniotic fluid with caustic solutions containing saline or urea. After the 16th week of gestation, abortions can be induced by intact dilation and extraction (IDX) (also called intrauterine cranial decompression), which requires surgical decompression of the fetus' head before evacuation. IDX is sometimes called "partial-birth abortion," which has been federally banned in the United States. A hysterotomy abortion is a procedure similar to a caesarean section, and is performed under general anesthesia because it is considered major abdominal surgery. It requires a smaller incision than a caesarean section and is used during later stages of pregnancy.
From the 20th to 23rd week of gestation, an injection to stop the fetal heart can be used as the first phase of the surgical abortion procedure to ensure that the fetus is not born alive.
Effective in the first trimester of pregnancy, non-surgical abortions (referred to as 'medical abortions') comprise 10% of all abortions in the United States and Europe. Combined regimens include methotrexate or mifepristone, followed by a prostaglandin (either misoprostol or gemeprost: misoprostol is used in the U.S.; gemeprost is used in the UK and Sweden.) When used within 49 days gestation, approximately 92% of women undergoing medical abortion with a combined regimen completed it without surgical intervention. Misoprostol can be used alone, but has a lower efficacy rate than combined regimens. In cases of failure of medical abortion, vacuum or manual aspiration is used to complete the abortion surgically.
Abortion is sometimes attempted by causing trauma to the abdomen. The degree of force, if severe, can cause serious internal injuries without necessarily succeeding in inducing miscarriage. Both accidental and deliberate abortions of this kind can be subject to criminal liability in many countries. In Burma, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, there is an ancient tradition of attempting abortion through forceful abdominal massage.
Reported methods of unsafe, self-induced abortion include misuse of misoprostol, and insertion of non-surgical implements such as knitting needles and clothes hangers into the uterus. These methods are rarely seen in developed countries where surgical abortion is legal and available.
Women typically experience minor pain during first-trimester abortion procedures. In a 1979 study of 2,299 patients, 97% reported experiencing some degree of pain. Patients rated the pain as being less than earache or toothache, but more than headache or backache.
Local and general anesthetics are used during the procedure
In a 1990 review, the American Psychological Association (APA) found that "severe negative reactions [after abortion] are rare and are in line with those following other normal life stresses. The APA revised and updated its findings in August 2008 to account for the accumulation of new evidence, and again concluded that induced abortion did not lead to increased mental health problems. As of August 2008, the United Kingdom Royal College of Psychiatrists is also performing a systematic review of the medical literature to update their position statement on the subject.
Some proposed negative psychological effects of abortion have been referred to by pro-life advocates as a separate condition called "post-abortion syndrome." However, the existence of "post-abortion syndrome" is not recognized by any medical or psychological organization, and some physicians and pro-choice advocates have argued that the effort to popularize the idea of a "post-abortion syndrome" is a tactic used by pro-life advocates for political purposes.
Abortion rates also vary depending on the stage of pregnancy and the method practiced. In 2003, from data collected in those areas of the United States that sufficiently reported gestational age, it was found that 88.2% of abortions were conducted at or prior to 12 weeks, 10.4% from 13 to 20 weeks, and 1.4% at or after 21 weeks. 90.9% of these were classified as having been done by "curettage" (suction-aspiration, Dilation and curettage, Dilation and evacuation), 7.7% by "medical" means (mifepristone), 0.4% by "intrauterine instillation" (saline or prostaglandin), and 1.0% by "other" (including hysterotomy and hysterectomy). The Guttmacher Institute estimated there were 2,200 intact dilation and extraction procedures in the U.S. during 2000; this accounts for 0.17% of the total number of abortions performed that year. Similarly, in England and Wales in 2006, 89% of terminations occurred at or under 12 weeks, 9% between 13 to 19 weeks, and 1.5% at or over 20 weeks. 64% of those reported were by vacuum aspiration, 6% by D&E, and 30% were medical.
A 1998 aggregated study, from 27 countries, on the reasons women seek to terminate their pregnancies concluded that common factors cited to have influenced the abortion decision were: desire to delay or end childbearing, concern over the interruption of work or education, issues of financial or relationship stability, and perceived immaturity. A 2004 study in which American women at clinics answered a questionnaire yielded similar results. In Finland and the United States, concern for the health risks posed by pregnancy in individual cases was not a factor commonly given; however, in Bangladesh, India, and Kenya health concerns were cited by women more frequently as reasons for having an abortion. 1% of women in the 2004 survey-based U.S. study became pregnant as a result of rape and 0.5% as a result of incest. Another American study in 2002 concluded that 54% of women who had an abortion were using a form of contraception at the time of becoming pregnant while 46% were not. Inconsistent use was reported by 49% of those using condoms and 76% of those using the combined oral contraceptive pill; 42% of those using condoms reported failure through slipping or breakage. The Guttmacher Institute estimated that "most abortions in the United States are obtained by minority women" because minority women "have much higher rates of unintended pregnancy.
Some abortions are undergone as the result of societal pressures. These might include the stigmatization of disabled persons, preference for children of a specific sex, disapproval of single motherhood, insufficient economic support for families, lack of access to or rejection of contraceptive methods, or efforts toward population control (such as China's one-child policy). These factors can sometimes result in compulsory abortion or sex-selective abortion.
Induced abortion can be traced to ancient times. There is evidence to suggest that, historically, pregnancies were terminated through a number of methods, including the administration of abortifacient herbs, the use of sharpened implements, the application of abdominal pressure, and other techniques.
The Hippocratic Oath, the chief statement of medical ethics for Hippocratic physicians in Ancient Greece, forbade doctors from helping to procure an abortion by pessary. Soranus, a second-century Greek physician, suggested in his work Gynaecology that women wishing to abort their pregnancies should engage in energetic exercise, energetic jumping, carrying heavy objects, and riding animals. He also prescribed a number of recipes for herbal baths, pessaries, and bloodletting, but advised against the use of sharp instruments to induce miscarriage due to the risk of organ perforation. It is also believed that, in addition to using it as a contraceptive, the ancient Greeks relied upon silphium as an abortifacient. Such folk remedies, however, varied in effectiveness and were not without risk. Tansy and pennyroyal, for example, are two poisonous herbs with serious side effects that have at times been used to terminate pregnancy.
Abortion in the 19th century continued, despite bans in both the United Kingdom and the United States, as the disguised, but nonetheless open, advertisement of services in the Victorian era suggests.
In the 20th century the Soviet Union (1919), Iceland (1935) and Sweden (1938) were among the first countries to legalize certain or all forms of abortion. In 1935 Nazi Germany, a law was passed permitting abortions for those deemed "hereditarily ill", while women considered of German stock were specifically prohibited from having abortions.
The advent of both sonography and amniocentesis has allowed parents to determine sex before birth. This has led to the occurrence of sex-selective abortion or the targeted termination of a fetus based upon its sex.
It is suggested that sex-selective abortion might be partially responsible for the noticeable disparities between the birth rates of male and female children in some places. The preference for male children is reported in many areas of Asia, and abortion used to limit female births has been reported in Mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea, and India.
In India, the economic role of men, the costs associated with dowries, and a Hindu tradition which dictates that funeral rites must be performed by a male relative have led to a cultural preference for sons. The widespread availability of diagnostic testing, during the 1970s and '80s, led to advertisements for services which read, "Invest 500 rupees [for a sex test] now, save 50,000 rupees [for a dowry] later. In 1991, the male-to-female sex ratio in India was skewed from its biological norm of 105 to 100, to an average of 108 to 100. Researchers have asserted that between 1985 and 2005 as many as 10 million female fetuses may have been selectively aborted. The Indian government passed an official ban of pre-natal sex screening in 1994 and moved to pass a complete ban of sex-selective abortion in 2002.
In the People's Republic of China, there is also a historic son preference. The implementation of the one-child policy in 1979, in response to population concerns, led to an increased disparity in the sex ratio as parents attempted to circumvent the law through sex-selective abortion or the abandonment of unwanted daughters. Sex-selective abortion might be an influence on the shift from the baseline male-to-female birth rate to an elevated national rate of 117:100 reported in 2002. The trend was more pronounced in rural regions: as high as 130:100 in Guangdong and 135:100 in Hainan. A ban upon the practice of sex-selective abortion was enacted in 2003.
Where and when access to safe abortion has been barred, due to explicit sanctions or general unavailability, women seeking to terminate their pregnancies have sometimes resorted to unsafe methods.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines an unsafe abortion as being "a procedure...carried out by persons lacking the necessary skills or in an environment that does not conform to minimal medical standards, or both." Unsafe abortions are known colloquially as "back-alley abortions. This can include a person without medical training, a professional health provider operating in sub-standard conditions, or the woman herself.
Unsafe abortion remains a public health concern today due to the higher incidence and severity of its associated complications, such as incomplete abortion, sepsis, hemorrhage, and damage to internal organs. WHO estimates that 19 million unsafe abortions occur around the world annually and that 68,000 of these result in the woman's death. Complications of unsafe abortion are said to account, globally, for approximately 13% of all maternal mortalities, with regional estimates including 12% in Asia, 25% in Latin America, and 13% in sub-Saharan Africa. A 2007 study published in the The Lancet found that, although the global rate of abortion declined from 45.6 million in 1995 to 41.6 million in 2003, unsafe procedures still accounted for 48% of all abortions performed in 2003. Health education, access to family planning, and improvements in health care during and after abortion have been proposed to address this phenomenon.
In the history of abortion, induced abortion has been the source of considerable debate, controversy, and activism. An individual's position on the complex ethical, moral, philosophical, biological, and legal issues is often related to his or her value system. Opinions of abortion may be best described as being a combination of beliefs on its morality, and beliefs on the responsibility, ethical scope, and proper extent of governmental authorities in public policy. Religious ethics also has an influence upon both personal opinion and the greater debate over abortion (see religion and abortion).
Abortion debates, especially pertaining to abortion laws, are often spearheaded by advocacy groups belonging to one of two camps. In the United States, most often those in favor of greater legal restrictions on, or even complete prohibition of abortion, describe themselves as pro-life while those against legal restrictions on abortion describe themselves as pro-choice. Both are used to indicate the central principles in arguments for and against abortion: "Is the fetus a human being with a fundamental right to life?" for pro-life advocates, and, for those who are pro-choice, "Does a woman have the right to choose whether or not to continue a pregnancy?"
In both public and private debate, arguments presented in favor of or against abortion focus on either the moral permissibility of an induced abortion, or justification of laws permitting or restricting abortion. Arguments on morality and legality tend to collide and combine, complicating the issue at hand.
Debate also focuses on whether the pregnant woman should have to notify and/or have the consent of others in distinct cases: a minor, her parents; a legally-married or common-law wife, her husband; or a pregnant woman, the biological father. In a 2003 Gallup poll in the United States, 79% of male and 67% of female respondents were in favor of spousal notification; overall support was 72% with 26% opposed.
A number of opinion polls around the world have explored public opinion regarding the issue of abortion. Results have varied from poll to poll, country to country, and region to region, while varying with regard to different aspects of the issue.
A May 2005 survey examined attitudes toward abortion in 10 European countries, asking polltakers whether they agreed with the statement, "If a woman doesn't want children, she should be allowed to have an abortion". The highest level of approval was 81% (in the Czech Republic); the lowest was 47% (in Poland).
In North America, a December 2001 poll surveyed Canadian opinion on abortion, asking Canadians in what circumstances they believe abortion should be permitted; 32% responded that they believe abortion should be legal in all circumstances, 52% that it should be legal in certain circumstances, and 14% that it should be legal in no circumstances. A similar poll in January 2006 surveyed people in the United States about U.S. opinion on abortion; 33% said that abortion should be "permitted only in cases such as rape, incest or to save the woman's life", 27% said that abortion should be "permitted in all cases", 15% that it should be "permitted, but subject to greater restrictions than it is now", 17% said that it should "only be permitted to save the woman's life", and 5% said that it should "never" be permitted. A November 2005 poll in Mexico found that 73.4% think abortion should not be legalized while 11.2% think it should.
Of attitudes in South and Central America, a December 2003 survey found that 30% of Argentines thought that abortion in Argentina should be allowed "regardless of situation", 47% that it should be allowed "under some circumstances", and 23% that it should not be allowed "regardless of situation". A March 2007 poll regarding the abortion law in Brazil found that 65% of Brazilians believe that it "should not be modified", 16% that it should be expanded "to allow abortion in other cases", 10% that abortion should be "decriminalized", and 5% were "not sure". A July 2005 poll in Colombia found that 65.6% said they thought that abortion should remain illegal, 26.9% that it should be made legal, and 7.5% that they were unsure.
In early pregnancy, levels of estrogen increase, leading to breast growth in preparation for lactation. The hypothesis proposes that if this process is interrupted by an abortion before full maturity in the third trimester then more relatively vulnerable immature cells could be left than there were prior to the pregnancy, resulting in a greater potential risk of breast cancer. The hypothesis mechanism was first proposed and explored in rat studies conducted in the 1980s.
The American Cancer Society concludes that presently the evidence does not support a causal abortion-breast cancer association, yet some pro-life activists continue to champion a causal link. In the past, pro-life advocates in the United States have sought legal action regarding disclosure of the abortion-breast cancer issue. This brought short-term legal and political intervention culminating with the Bush Administration changing the National Cancer Institute (NCI) fact sheet from concluding no link to a more ambiguous assessment. In February 2003, the NCI responded by conducting a workshop with over 100 experts on the issue, which concluded that it was well-established that "abortion is not associated with an increase in breast cancer risk."
Though the scientific community has found evidence for the hypothesis lacking, the ongoing promotion of an abortion-breast cancer "link" by pro-life advocates and medical associations is seen by others as merely a part of the current pro-life "woman-centered" strategy against abortion. Pro-life groups maintain they are providing legally necessary informed consent; a concern shared by conservative Congressman Dr. Dave Weldon. While early research indicated a correlation between breast cancer and abortion; the current scientific consensus has solidified with the publication of large prospective cohort studies which find no clear association between abortion and breast cancer. These studies along with all relevant research strive to remove from their results the many confounding factors, such as delayed child bearing (parity), which affect breast cancer risk apart from abortion. The abortion-breast cancer hypothesis continues to incite mostly political and some scientific debate.
A review by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco in JAMA concluded that data from dozens of medical reports and studies indicate that fetuses are unlikely to feel pain until the third trimester of pregnancy. There is an emerging consensus among developmental neurobiologists that the establishment of thalamocortical connections (at about 26 weeks) is a critical event with regard to fetal perception of pain. Because pain can involve sensory, emotional and cognitive factors, it may be "impossible to know" when painful experiences are perceived, even if it is known when thalamocortical connections are established.
A theory attempts to draw a correlation between the United States' unprecedented nationwide decline of the overall crime rate during the 1990s and the decriminalization of abortion 20 years prior.
The suggestion was brought to widespread attention by a 1999 academic paper, The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime, authored by the economists Steven D. Levitt and John Donohue. They attributed the drop in crime to a reduction in individuals said to have a higher statistical probability of committing crimes: unwanted children, especially those born to mothers who are African-American, impoverished, adolescent, uneducated, and single. The change coincided with what would have been the adolescence, or peak years of potential criminality, of those who had not been born as a result of Roe v. Wade and similar cases. Donohue and Levitt's study also noted that states which legalized abortion before the rest of the nation experienced the lowering crime rate pattern earlier, and those with higher abortion rates had more pronounced reductions.
Fellow economists Christopher Foote and Christopher Goetz criticized the methodology in the Donohue-Levitt study, noting a lack of accommodation for statewide yearly variations such as cocaine use, and recalculating based on incidence of crime per capita; they found no statistically significant results. Levitt and Donohue responded to this by presenting an adjusted data set which took into account these concerns and reported that the data maintained the statistical significance of their initial paper.
Such research has been criticized by some as being utilitarian, discriminatory as to race and socioeconomic class, and as promoting eugenics as a solution to crime. Levitt states in his book Freakonomics that they are neither promoting nor negating any course of action—merely reporting data as economists.
Before the scientific discovery that human development begins at fertilization, English common law allowed abortions to be performed before "quickening", the earliest perception of fetal movement by a woman during pregnancy, until both pre- and post-quickening abortions were criminalized by Lord Ellenborough's Act in 1803. In 1861, the British Parliament passed the Offences Against the Person Act, which continued to outlaw abortion and served as a model for similar prohibitions in some other nations. The Soviet Union, with legislation in 1920, and Iceland, with legislation in 1935, were two of the first countries to generally allow abortion. The second half of the 20th century saw the liberalization of abortion laws in other countries. The Abortion Act 1967 allowed abortion for limited reasons in the United Kingdom. In the 1973 case, Roe v. Wade, the United States Supreme Court struck down state laws banning abortion, ruling that such laws violated an implied right to privacy in the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court of Canada, similarly, in the case of R. v. Morgentaler, discarded its criminal code regarding abortion in 1988, after ruling that such restrictions violated the security of person guaranteed to women under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Canada later struck down provincial regulations of abortion in the case of R. v. Morgentaler (1993). By contrast, abortion in Ireland was affected by the addition of an amendment to the Irish Constitution in 1983 by popular referendum, recognizing "the right to life of the unborn".
Current laws pertaining to abortion are diverse. Religious, moral, and cultural sensibilities continue to influence abortion laws throughout the world. The right to life, the right to liberty, the right to security of person, and the right to reproductive health are major issues of human rights that are sometimes used as justification for the existence or absence of laws controlling abortion. Many countries in which abortion is legal require that certain criteria be met in order for an abortion to be obtained, often, but not always, using a trimester-based system to regulate the window of legality:
Other countries, in which abortion is normally illegal, will allow one to be performed in the case of rape, incest, or danger to the pregnant woman's life or health. A few nations ban abortion entirely: Chile, El Salvador, Malta, Ireland and Nicaragua, although in 2006 the Chilean government began the free distribution of emergency contraception. In Bangladesh, abortion is illegal, but the government has long supported a network of "menstrual regulation clinics", where menstrual extraction (manual vacuum aspiration) can be performed as menstrual hygiene.
In places where abortion is illegal or carries heavy social stigma, pregnant women may engage in medical tourism and travel to countries where they can terminate their pregnancy. In the USA, it is not unusual for women to travel from one state to another for reasons of termination of pregnancy.

Lamb Chop's Play-Along is a children's television show that was shown on PBS in the United States from 1992 to 1997, as well as on YTV in Canada. 200 episodes of the show were produced. It was created and hosted by puppeteer Shari Lewis, and featured her puppet character Lamb Chop. Appropriately, Lamb Chop was a sheep; other characters were puppets of other farm animals, including Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy. WTTW jointly distributed it with Paragon Entertainment Corporation to PBS stations across the country. The rights to the show are currently owned by Entertainment Rights through its control of Classic Media. Reruns of the first 26 episodes have recently begun to be broadcast on qubo's digital channel, which is partially owned by Classic Media.
An instrumental version of the show's theme song was used for a most recent show of Mallory Lewis and Lamb Chop.

I missed this topic somehow. I'm not a chef by any means but I love to cook. I was thinking a few years ago about again cooking with wine. One of my sponsors found the real information about alcohol "cooking out" At the time I was going through a divorce and my desire to cook with wine was likely more a product of that than any culinary need.
All The Alchohol Does NOT Evaporate!
I can't locate the link to the USDA study that actually tested for retained alchohol but the chart at this link agrees with what I saved as a wordpad document.
http://homecooking.about.com/library/ar ... ohol12.htm
Liz Scott's The Sober Kitchen is a pretty good cook book. I bought a few and gave them as gifts. This cookbook uses NO alcohol. I guess I'm a little anal about it but I don't use the vanilla extract (or any other) containing alcohol. I also read the Dijon-style (like grey poupon) mustard labels to find the very few without wine. After a while checking labels becomes second nature. They stick wine in things you don't think about.
I know of a few in the program who do eat dishes prepared with wine or other spirits and one that cooks with wine. That's between them and their sponsors. I can't do it.
You'll hear about "alcohol soluble flavors". OK, but if those flavors are there with alcohol. they will still be there without the booze. Tomato sauces are often mentioned as requiring wine to bring out those "alcohol soluble flavors" . I just took a quick look at Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Italian Cooking and didn't see one tomato sauce recipe that used wine. There might be one or two hidden in there but clearly wine isn't required.
A big problem with many restaurants is that they add alcohol at the very end of the cooking so very little evaporates. I know what's in most dishes but I do ask occasionally. I've also ordered dishes that do not normally contain alcohol that obviously did when they arrived. I sniff and send it back if there is any doubt. Anything with alcohol in it is not what I ordered. Restaurants will also tell you that all the booze cooks out leaving only the flavor.
That is patently wrong, but anyway, I really don't think I need that flavor either.
Any Chefs Here?

Rodin: The Cantor Gift to The Brooklyn Museum
- Dates: November 1987 through January 1988
- Collections: European Art
Auguste Rodin
Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) occupies a pivotal position in the history of sculpture. Straddling two centuries, his life's work takes its place in the tradition established by the French Academy (whose standards reflected long-standing classical ideals of sculpture) while at the same time setting the stage for important twentieth-century innovations. He strove for success within the established framework of government-sponsored exhibitions and commissions yet refused to compromise his unconventional ideas about art.
Although Rodin worked with the traditional materials of sculpture (clay, plaster, bronze, and marble), he handled them in an entirely new way. Instead of trying to smooth away evidence of the sculptural process, he often chose to retain the seams, tool marks, fingerprints, breakage, and excess deposits of the medium. Similarly, although many artists of the nineteenth century admired the sculptural fragments of antiquity, none before Rodin dared to create a partial figure and declare it a self-sufficient work of art. Rodin purposely omitted elements, such as arms, not essential to the expression he sought to achieve—something his contemporaries found difficult to accept. Nonetheless, his consistent use of the human figure attests to his respect for, and commitment
to, tradition.
While Rodin often took allegorical, mythological, literary, or historical themes as his subject, his goal in portraying them marked a significant departure from his predecessors. Like the Symbolist writers and artists who were his contemporaries, he sought to communicate the invisible by means of the visible. Character, emotion, and thought could all, he felt, be read in the pose, expression, and physical structure of a figure. Rodin believed that nature, being a creation of God, could produce only beauty: he who saw ugliness in nature saw wrong. Whereas age, deformity, and accident were banished from the Academic canon of beauty, Rodin proclaimed that these had their place and that true artists transformed such aspects into eloquent affirmations of nature's splendor.
The multifaceted character of Rodin's art, its simultaneous endorsement and disavowal of cherished Academic principles, places him at the nexus between tradition and modernity in sculpture. The implications of Rodin's ideas fueled many interesting and important developments in the twentieth century, earning him the well-deserved title "father of modern sculpture."
The sculptures by Auguste Rodin on display here were given to the Brooklyn Museum by the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation.
The Monument to Balzac
In 1891, a Parisian literary society commissioned Rodin to make a monument to Honoré de Balzac (1799–1850), one of the most controversial and influential authors in nineteenth-century France.
From 1891 until 1895, Rodin's idea was to make a physical and spiritual likeness of Balzac. In 1896, however, Rodin decided to make a more symbolic monument, associating intellectual and artistic creativity with sexual activity, for which Balzac was equally well known. Thus, Rodin sculpted a Balzac who grasps his erect phallus beneath his robe, an act reflected in the overall phallic silhouette of the final monument.
Rodin completed the nine-foot-tall plaster model in 1898. Critics described it as a snowman, a side of beef, and a mistake. The society refused to accept it, and it was not cast in bronze until after Rodin's death.
The Burghers of Calais
In the wake of its humiliating defeat at the hands of Prussia in 1870, the French Third Republic sought to reinvigorate notions of heroism and citizenship. To this end, in 1884 the city council of Calais commissioned Rodin to create a monument to Eustache de Saint-Pierre. In 1347, while Calais was under siege by the English, Eustache and five other important citizens of the town had offered themselves as hostages, pleading for mercy for their long-suffering city.
In his first maquette of 1884, Rodin proposed a conventional monument, with his figures united as a group on a tall pedestal. By the following year, however, the six figures were placed on a low rectangular plinth, at the same level as the viewer. As Rodin later wrote: "I wanted to have my statues placed in front of the Calais city hall on the very paving of the square like a living rosary ofsuffering and sacrifice."
Rodin first made nude figure studies, which he then draped in wet canvas to model the sackcloth worn by the burghers when theysurrendered. To create the most expressive figures possible, he used the radical technique of combining studies of hands and feet from different figures. Creating the very antithesis of conventional heroic sculpture, Rodin here set out the terms of a modern, anti-monumental tradition that resonates to this day.

It wasn't too long ago that most followers of high school football believed the well of talent at East Webster High School had run dry.
Following a playoff loss to Calhoun City in 2008, the Wolverines said goodbye to one of their strongest-ever senior classes, headlined by then-quarterback and current Mississippi State defensive back, Johnthan Banks.
"Two years ago, when guys like Banks graduated, everybody felt like we were finished," said East Webster football coach Jimmy Carden, the Starkville Daily News 2010 Coach of the Year. "People just hoped we wouldn't get embarrassed for the next few years until we could get some (talent) back."
Boy, were those folks ever wrong.
Behind the veteran Carden and the on-field prowess of SDN Player of the Year, quarterback Ledrick Patterson, it took the Wolverines less than two years to transform themselves from an afterthought to a bona fide powerhouse.
While the 2009 season was special in its own right thanks to a late-season surge that vaulted the Wolverines to within two wins of the state title game, the 2010 East Webster squad has to go down as one of the school's most dominant teams ever.
The little school in Cumberland finished 13-1, brought home the Region 2 championship and outscored opponents 556-145.
"Looking at it, when (Banks) and them left, they took a good class with them," said Patterson. "Everybody was talking as soon as they left, saying East Webster would never win another game and stuff like that. We let it get to us. We put our heads down. We didn't work hard at all and we struggled.
"Then coach sat us down in the film room and talked to all of us then-juniors that were going to be seniors this year. That gave us some momentum and we just carried it on the rest of that season, then played great this year."
Much of that success was due to Patterson himself. An athletic, option-style signal caller, Patterson laid the foundation for East Webster's winning ways with both his physical ability and his football smarts.
"(Patterson) is not the fastest kid we've ever had but he's quick and he's very athletically smart," said Carden. "He knows the game and he knows what's going on whether he's on the basketball floor or on the football field. He's athletic-minded and he's a competitor.
"If I'm going to be in a brawl out in the community, I want him by my side because he's going to stay with you until the last man is down."
The irony in Patterson's winning demeanor is his unselfish nature.
While putting up solid numbers himself (586 passing yards, 902 rushing yards, 246 return yards, 29 total touchdowns), it was Patterson's ability to know when and when not to call his own number that was perhaps his most enviable skill.
"That's one of those things that's rare," said Carden. "You don't get that with everybody. Everybody wants to be the hero and everybody's parents want their son or daughter to be the star. That's what is indwelled in most of the kids.
"Ledrick is a guy that wants to win. He wants a team win and he's always been one that will pitch the football or pass the basketball or whatever. In fact, a couple of fumbles he had this year was trying to get the ball to one of his teammates that hadn't scored or maybe hadn't touched the ball that night."
According to Carden, such actions inspired everyone around Patterson to play better. The numbers back it up.
East Webster rushed for 4,218 yards this season. Over 3,500 of them came via Patterson, fullback Timarkis Bell or tailback Demetrius O'Briant.
In the Wolverines' orchestra of runners, Patterson was the maestro, making the reads and determining whether himself or one of his backfield cohorts had the best chance to push East Webster closer towards a win.
Sometimes, such decisions weren't so easy.
"Timarkis, he'll be wanting the ball every play so he'll get to taking it sometimes and I'll have to talk to him and tell him don't take it because Demetrius would be open if Timarkis don't take it," said Patterson with a laugh. "Sometimes I'll just kind of fake it to Timarkis and give it to Demetrius anyway and Timarkis gets mad at me, but after the game, we'll talk about it and have a good time about it."
Using good-natured humor was just another one of the many ways Patterson found to guide his team in 2010.
"Some folks are followers, some folks are leaders and some folks are wannabe leaders," said Carden. "He's a young man that without trying to be a leader real hard, he is one.
"He'll get in their face sometimes but he doesn't fuss, nag and get after them too hard. It's more like a pat on the back or a slap on the seat, just telling them to pick it up a notch or helping them, whatever that situation might be."
While Carden is quick to brag on his quarterback, Patterson's words about the only high school head football coach he's ever known are just as complementary.
They also illustrate the strong bond that can often develop between a coach and his on-field general.
"He looks at me to be the best I can be no matter what I do," said Patterson. "I look up to him like a daddy because he isn't going to tell me wrong and he always leads me the right way. He wants me to do the best with everything I do."
For Carden, he summed up coaching Patterson and the rest of the Wolverines this season in just one simple word – fun.
"You don't get this kind of talent every year and it's a lot of fun to work with," said Carden. "I've had a lot of talent over the years, but this bunch, they all were like role players. They're sort of like the New England Patriots. There really wasn't anybody that cared about being a superstar. They all fit into their roles and played well."
Boosting East Webster's stellar play was the coaching style of Carden.
"Mondays, we come in and have to watch film," said Patterson. "When (Carden) is in there, we've got to be quiet. We've got to get focused Monday through Thursday. He tells us on Thursdays after we get through with our walk-through that on Friday all the work is going to pay off. He says 'I won't say anything. You all just go out and have fun.'"
There was definitely plenty of fun to be had in a season where the Wolverines won 12 of their games by at least 21 points.
"The guys were very easy to coach," said Carden. "They were, for the most part, ready to practice everyday. Sometimes when you have a bunch that you are working and you know you are going to play somebody that is not as talented as you are, it's hard to get up that week.
"This bunch challenged each other and tried to make themselves better rather than practicing for whoever they were playing."
Perhaps such a mindset rubbed off from a knowledgeable head coach. Or perhaps it was a carryover effect from a win-at-any-costs quarterback.
Either way, the most successful football of the area this season was played in Cumberland and it revolved around Carden and Patterson.
"(Carden) is just a great coach," said Patterson. "He hasn't ever told me anything wrong, he trusts me with the ball and he trusts me to make plays. That's what I did."

I actually don't mind either. Just not at the expense of rubbing one's nose in it, and not fixing what should be fixed, along with zero feedback from the Devs on the main forums, apart from posting this?
That is not good.

Is your city multipurpose or focused. If its multipurpose you'll never have enough room.
Posted 10 April 2013 - 16:54
Also, sometimes you simply need to rezone (or bring the land value of an area up.) You might think your system works well but if its showing no commercial demand you have too many shops and need to switch some out.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm at 75000 population, and residential and industrial demand is really high but there's no space for me to expand whatsoever. As a result, I'm not getting enough taxes to be sustainable and upgrade to the higher tech fire and police buildings for example.
Did I just pick a bad plot of land? How is it intended that you break though these issues?

Teen Mom
How Many 16 and Pregnant Stars Graduated From High School?
The ladies from MTV's 16 and Pregnant are pretty much super geniuses, y'all. Despite getting pregnant at the tender age of 16, popping out a kiddo (or two), and being forced to mature overnight, most of these gals graduated high school!
According to The Ashley, 34 out of the 47 girls who have appeared on 16 and Pregnant graduated high school, which is above the national average. Plus, seven girls who didn't finish high school went on to get their GEDs (including Chelsea Houska). But the best news? Twenty-six of these ladies went on to attend trade school colleges!
As of now, no one has graduated with a higher degree except for Farrah Abraham, but there's no denying that these statistics are impressive. After all, most of these girls are juggling raising their kiddos with a part-time job, and it can be almost impossible to find time for school.
High fives all around!

During an era when most manufacturers were still building vehicles with straight front axles, GM realized that true automotive enthusiasts sought to corner and brake-as well as accelerate-and engineered the underpinnings of the C2 Corvette (which later carried over into the C3) to facilitate this. This suspension-which combined independent coil springs and control arms up front, and a fixed center section with independent trailing arms in the rear-was unheard of in a domestic vehicle for the time. The technology worked very well, providing arguably the best-handling mass-produced domestic cars of the mid-'60s and well into the '70s. But as technology advanced, the C2 and C3 suspension started to show its age, as well as its drawbacks.
In what was almost certainly a compromise between physical space, economics, and the manufacturing technology of the period, GM chose to use a single multi-leaf spring to support the rear of these Corvettes. Mounted laterally, or transversely, the spring is bolted firmly to the center section of the rear differential in the middle, with each side of the spring supporting the weight of one half of the rear of the car. While this configuration does allow each side of the suspension to travel independently up to a point, one of the drawbacks of the transverse spring is that suspension movement on one side is invariably transferred through the spring, which has an effect on the opposite side. As an example, if, while cornering, the inside rear tire drops due to a low spot or pothole, the outside tire can unload briefly, negatively affecting the car's adhesion. While there are modern composite mono-leaf springs available that help with this problem, we sought to eliminate the transverse spring from our car completely and convert it to a truly independent rear coilover suspension.
Having been impressed with the front suspension components from Speed Direct that we installed on Project C3 Triple-Ex last month, we began researching our options on by visiting www.speeddirect.com. The company's Shark Bite rear coilover kit is advertised as being all inclusive, offering either single- or double-adjustable shocks and a multitude of spring rates to accommodate the driving habits and ride-quality preferences of any Corvette owner. Even better, thanks to Speed Direct's proprietary rocker assembly, everything bolts in place of the factory components with no welding or grinding required.
Since our car will see a combination of street, track, and likely autocross duty, we liked the idea of adjustable shock absorbers and a stiffer spring rate for our suspension. If this were a dedicated track car, the double-adjustable shocks would exponentially expand our tuning options, but for this car's purposes, single-adjustable units will keep suspension tuning simpler while still offering far better adjustability than the factory setup.
The other decision we had to make was which spring rate would be appropriate for our car. In general, springs with softer rates offer a smoother ride but sacrifice handling by not keeping the tire firmly planted at all times. As a rule, we're prone to sacrificing the ride quality of our Corvette if it means improved handling, so we opted for the 400-in/lb-rate coil springs. Let's face it: If we cared that much about ride quality, we'd be in a Cadillac, not a Corvette. Even so, springs with a lower spring rate are appropriate for cars that see mostly street duty, and the Speed Direct rear kit offers the best of both.
By simply jacking the car and supporting it, the rear coilovers can easily be removed for spring changes, offering the advantage of running a soft spring in normal driving and swapping in a stiffer one if you plan some autocross or track time on the weekends. We'll likely try different spring rates on our car later on, but for now we'll be using the stiffest springs offered, for maximum cornering capability and traction. (Frankly, we own performance cars because we enjoy driving aggressively, ride quality be damned.)

Bootle primary school saved in council u-turn
Last updated at 11:41, Thursday, 12 April 2012
CAPTAIN Shaw's school has been saved.
The decision to close the under-threat school was rejected by Cumbria County Council cabinet today.
Cabinet members said the decision to keep the school open was thanks to the arguments against closure put forward by the community and county council officers.
Now the Cabinet members said the school and its supporters must now 'act quickly' to improve the school's performance.
Anne Burns, Cabinet member for Children's Social Care, said: "This decision has been taken following prolonged and careful
consideration by elected members. The school and the local community have mounted a compelling campaign to keep the school open. But it is now absolutely up to them to put plans into action to address all the concerns that have been highlighted during this process.
"Cabinet will be keeping a close watch over the coming months and will want to see clear evidence of improvement in educational standards and the school's finances. This is an opportunity for the whole community to come together to think innovatively about the school's future."
Eddie Martin, Leader of Cumbria County Council, said: "There is a broad presumption in the Department for Education guidance against the closure of rural schools. We want to send a clear message to small schools in Cumbria that we value their role in sustaining local communities. We're also clear that each case must be looked at on its merits. Captain Shaw's school must justify the faith that Cabinet has shown in it."

Have your say
The governors failure to pursue Academy status throughout the whole process speaks volumes. They know that the failure of the school to provide the national average standard of education (bearing in mind this includes, and is in comparison to, urban areas of high immigration/deprivation/large class numbers) even against to school a mere two and a half miles away that is in a smaller settlement and yet exceeds Captain Shaw's numbers and achievements means that they would be unlikely to be accepted to the Government flagship programme. Should they be congratulated on depriving their children of a reasonable education based on an Ofsted report well out of date relating to teachers that left the school a number of years ago?
Yes indeed fabulous news!
Thank you Will and the NWEMail, your excellent coverage was invaluable. To everyone who came together to support our little school... A MASSIVE THANK YOU TOO! Bootle, The Lake District is well and truly celebrating tonight. To all those families looking for a wonderfully unique and highly valued school in an equally super village - please come and visit us at Captain Shaw's CE Primary.

Hey guys hope all is well, I'm blogging today about some possible tag-teams that could be formed. I've been thinking for a long time about how to fix the tag-team division. I'm also shocked as to why it's fallen to far.
Back in the AE, and especially the 80's, tag-teams were a hot topic. Teams like L.O.D, The Hardy's, The Dudley's, Edge & Christian and many other teams were dominating
this is who i would think using whole rosters would have the best matches. I made these matches based on Gimmic, wrestling ability, position in the company Or just think they could have a good match
Note: Since there are more in WWE's roster could not use every1 on roster page

Wrestlemania 28: Where Past Meets Future
This is my proposed WM28 card. I wrote one a month or so back, but a lot has changed since then. I think this is a substantially better card.
I think WWE is in a great position now to set themselves up for the future while acknowledging the past.
My first criteria is that I take into account matches WWE has already
As far as I'm concerned WWE have already botched this CM Punk angle. For me it's done and the only thing we can expect now is for everything to return to the same predictable WWE routine.
Bringing Punk back so soon totally undermined his classic shoot-style promo, his title win and his character because:

No, that's a story for another blog at another time. Today I'm going to talk about something different. Something new.

I have a few specific CMS pages (higher-traffic ones, of course) where my URL aliases get ignored.
Example: My "Graduate Areas of Study" page defaults to http://www.unl.edu/gradstudies/graduate-areas-study but that's goofy so I aliased it as prospective/programs. If another page links to it as prospective/programs, that works and it comes up as prospective/programs. If you click it in the nav shelf (Programs Offered under Prospective) you get the page as "graduate-areas-study". Editing the page, I see that the "Generate automatic URL alias" box is checked. I can uncheck it, see "prospective/programs" still in the text box below it, and click Save, but it remains "graduate-areas-study" with the auto-alias box still/again checked.
Aliasing seems to consistently work fine on hundreds of pages and refuse to uncheck on these 3. Also seems like it used to *sometimes* let me uncheck on these problem pages and now it never does.
- homepage: / or /home vs. /office-graduate-studies
- areas of study: /prospective/programs vs. /graduate-areas-study (but no problem for the prospective section index)
- current student section index: /current vs. /current-graduate-students (but AFAIK no problems on other pages in current)
Any suggestions? Anybody else having this problem?
